5. Güvenlik Talimatları
- Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent loose connections that can cause excessive heat.
- Aküyü her zaman önce şarj kontrol cihazına, ardından güneş paneline ve son olarak da yüke bağlayın. Bağlantıyı kesme işlemi ise ters sırada yapılmalıdır.
- Do not connect an inverter directly to the load terminals of the charge controller. Connect inverters directly to the battery.
- Kontrol cihazını iyi havalandırılan bir alana, doğrudan güneş ışığından, yüksek sıcaklıklardan ve nemden uzak bir yere kurun.
- Sistem hacminin sağlanmasıtage (12V or 24V) matches the battery bank voltage. The controller automatically detects this.
- Use appropriate wire gauges for all connections to prevent voltage düşme ve aşırı ısınma.
- Pillerle çalışırken göz koruyucu kullanın.
6. Kurulum (Setup)
Güneş enerjisi şarj kontrol cihazınızın doğru kurulumu için şu adımları izleyin.
- Montaj: Choose a dry, well-ventilated location for mounting the controller. Ensure there is sufficient space around the controller for heat dissipation. Use the mounting holes provided on the unit.
- Pili bağlayın: Connect the battery to the battery terminals on the charge controller. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). The LCD display should illuminate, indicating the controller has detected the battery voltage.
- Güneş Panelini Bağlayın: Connect the solar panel to the solar panel terminals on the charge controller. Ensure correct polarity. The controller will begin charging the battery if sunlight is available.
- Yükü bağlayın: Connect your DC loads (e.g., lights, fans) to the load terminals. Ensure correct polarity. The USB-A port can also be used for charging compatible devices.
Important Connection Order: Always connect the battery first, then the solar panel, and finally the load. Disconnect in the reverse order: load first, then solar panel, then battery.

Şekil 6.2: Visual step-by-step guide for connecting the HQST Solar Charge Controller: 1. Connect the battery. 2. Connect the solar panel. 3. Connect the load (light bulb). This sequence ensures safe and proper system setup.
7. Operasyon
Once installed, the controller operates automatically. The LCD display provides real-time information about your system.
7.1 LCD Ekran ve Düğme Fonksiyonları
The LCD cycles through various parameters such as battery voltage, charging current, load current, and temperature. The single red button is used to manually cycle through display modes or to enter settings for load control (e.g., timer settings for lights).
- Kısa Basış: Cycles through display parameters.
- Uzun basma (yaklaşık 5 saniye): Enters or exits setting mode for load control.
7.2 Yük Kontrolü
The controller offers programmable load control. You can set the load to turn on/off based on daylight or a timer. Refer to the specific settings menu on the LCD for detailed configuration. The USB-A port is typically powered when the load output is active.
