Always take the following measures before working on the controller:
1. Switch off all loads.
2. Switch off the DC load circuit breaker (solar module) and secure it against being switched on
again or safely cover the solar module (ensure that wind cannot blow off the covering!).
3. Switch off the external battery fuse: Remove the fuse insert from the fuse holder (safety fuse)
or switch off the DC line circuit breaker and secure it against being switched on again.
4. Disconnect the battery cable from both battery terminals.
Cable connections
n The module cables carry voltage when the solar module is illuminated.
n Insulate exposed cable ends with insulation tape or wire connector blocks.
n Connect the cables for the battery and solar module to the controller in the described sequence
( Fig. 1
).
n Secure the cables with a strain relief clamp. Clearance of strain-relief to controller: 200 mm.
n Connect only 1 cable to each connection terminal.
n Cable to be used: Observe the specifications in section
Ä
‘Technical data’ on page 124.
n Lay the cables so that:
– connections cannot accidentally come loose,
– persons cannot tread on or trip over these and
– fire protection devices are not impaired or obstructed.
n The entire installation must be designed with protection class II if the open-circuit module
voltage exceeds 60 V DC at least once anywhere over the entire temperature range.
n Observe all applicable installation regulations and standards, national laws and connection
values specified by the regional power supply company.
Fuses and switching devices
Installation of an external battery fuse (safety fuse or DC line circuit breaker) is mandatory! Observe
the following:
n Mount the external battery fuse directly next to the battery.
n The external battery fuse must conform to the specifications described in section
Ä
‘Technical
data’ on page 124.
n The external battery fuse is not included in the scope of delivery.
WARNING!
Danger of acid injuries
– Do not subject the battery to open flames or sparks.
–
Provide adequate ventilation in the installation location of the battery. Inflammable gases
can escape from the battery.
– Follow the charging instructions of the battery manufacturer.
