Improper use
The device is not suitable for charging:
– 6 V batteries or 6 V lead accumulators
– non-chargeable batteries
– nickel-cadmium batteries.
If batteries with a rated voltage of 6 V are charged with the
device, gassing occurs immediately. An explosive gas can be
created.
The device is only suitable for regulating solar modules. Do
not connect any other voltage sources (for example main
voltage 230vAC or 24vDC) to the device. This may destroy
the device and/or sources. If any other voltage sources are
used together with the device, please ask your dealer.
Battery care
(also, maintenance-free batteries)
The following points should be observed to extend the
battery life:
– Batteries should be fully charged before and after being
used.
– In the case of longer standstills (without sunshine),
disconnect the battery and charge separately for 24 hours at
the latest every 12 weeks.
– Note: before disconnecting a leisure battery or vehicle
battery, a competent person must first switch off any central
control (power distribution) devise and remove the charge
controller supply fuse OR cover the solar panels to prevent
power generation.
Store fully charged batteries in a cool but frost-free place
during the winter and recharge regularly (every 12 weeks).
