2. უსაფრთხოების ინფორმაცია

Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent personal injury and damage to the controller or other equipment.

• დარწმუნდით, რომ ყველა გაყვანილობა სწორი ზომისაა და სათანადოდ იზოლირებულია.
• Always disconnect power from the solar array and battery before installing or servicing the controller.
• Install the controller in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from flammable materials.
• Do not attempt to open or repair the controller. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection, when working with batteries.

3. პაკეტის შიგთავსი

დარწმუნდით, რომ შეფუთვაში ყველა ნივთია:

• Xantrex C12 Solar Charge Controller (1 unit)
• ინსტრუქციის სახელმძღვანელო (ეს დოკუმენტი)

4. დაყენება და ინსტალაცია

The Xantrex C12 controller is designed for quick and easy setup. Follow these general steps for installation:

1. მონტაჟი: Choose a suitable location for mounting the controller. It should be close to the battery, in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, protected from direct sunlight and moisture.
2. ბატარეის კავშირი: Connect the battery to the controller's battery terminals first. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). This step is crucial for the controller to sense battery voltage.
3. მზის პანელის კავშირი: Connect the solar panel array to the controller's solar input terminals. Again, observe correct polarity.
4. დატვირთვის კავშირი (არასავალდებულო): If using the controller for load management, connect your DC loads to the designated load terminals. Ensure the total current draw of the loads does not exceed the controller's rated ampგაბრაზება
5. გადამოწმება: Double-check all connections for tightness and correct polarity before applying power.

მნიშვნელოვანია: Always connect the battery first and disconnect it last. Failure to do so may damage the controller.

5. საოპერაციო ინსტრუქციები

The Xantrex C12 controller automatically manages the charging process and load distribution.

• სამი-სtage დამუხტვა: The controller employs a three-stage charging algorithm (bulk, absorption, float) to efficiently charge your battery and prolong its lifespan.
• User-Definable Voltage პარამეტრები: The C12 allows for customization of voltage setpoints to match specific battery types and requirements. Refer to the display indicators section for details on HVD (High Voltage Disconnect) and UVD (Low Voltage Disconnect) settings.
• Automatic Equalization: The controller can perform automatic equalization cycles, which are crucial for maintaining the health of flooded lead-acid batteries. The "EQUALIZE ACTIVATED" indicator will illuminate during this process.
• დატვირთვის კონტროლი: When configured for load control, the controller will disconnect the load if the battery voltage ეცემა დაბალი მოცულობის ქვემოთtage Disconnect (LVD) threshold to protect the battery from deep discharge.

6. ჩვენების ინდიკატორები

The front panel of the Xantrex C12 features an intuitive LED display to indicate battery status and operational modes.

The LED panel provides visual feedback on the system's status:

• BATTERY FULL (Solid Green LEDs): Indicates the battery is fully charged or near full. The specific voltage thresholds for High Voltage Disconnect (HVD) are displayed on the panel (e.g., HVD - 0.25V, HVD - 0.50V, HVD - 0.75V, ABOVE 12.8V).
• BATTERY EMPTY (Solid Red LEDs): Indicates the battery is discharged or near empty. The specific voltage thresholds for Low Voltage Disconnect (UVD) are displayed (e.g., BELOW 12.8V, UVD - 0.50V, UVD - 0.75V, UVD - 1.0V).
• დაბალი VOLTAGE DISCONNECT (Orange/Red LEDs): ანათებს, როდესაც ბატარეის voltage drops below a critical level, and the load has been disconnected to protect the battery.
• OVERLOAD (Orange/Red LEDs): Indicates that the connected load is drawing excessive current, potentially causing the controller to shut down the load output.
• EQUALIZE ACTIVATED (Green LED): Lights up when the automatic battery equalization cycle is active.
• START/STOP EQ (Button): A push-button located at the bottom of the panel to manually initiate or stop an equalization cycle.

7. მოვლა

The Xantrex C12 Solar Charge Controller requires minimal maintenance.

• რეგულარული შემოწმება: პერიოდულად შეამოწმეთ ყველა სადენიანი შეერთება სიმჭიდროვისა და კოროზიის არსებობაზე.
• დასუფთავება: Keep the controller's exterior clean and free of dust. Use a dry cloth; do not use liquid cleaners.
• ვენტილაცია: გადახურების თავიდან ასაცილებლად, დარწმუნდით, რომ ვენტილაციის ღიობები არ არის დაბლოკილი.
