5.1 ආරම්භක බල-අප්
After all connections are securely made, connect the battery power first, then the solar panel power. The controller will perform a self-test, and the LED indicators will illuminate.
5.2 Setting Battery Type (BATT1)
The controller supports various battery types for the main battery (BATT1). To select the correct battery type:
- ඔබා අල්ලාගෙන සිටින්න සකසන්න button for approximately 5 seconds until the battery type indicator starts flashing.
- ඔබන්න සකසන්න button repeatedly to cycle through the available battery types (Gel, Flooded, LiFePO4, Li-NiCoMn).
