  • Page 3: About These Instructions

    About these instructions These operating instructions are part of the product. X Read these operating instructions carefully before use, X keep them over the entire lifetime of the product, X and pass them on to any future owner or user of this product. Applicability This manual describes the installation, function, operation and maintenance of the solar charge controller.
  • Page 4: General Safety Instructions

    General safety instructions X Follow the general and national safety and accident prevention regulations. X Never alter or remove the factory plates and identification labels. X Keep children away from PV systems. X Never open the device. Other risks Danger of fire and explosion X Do not use the solar charge controller in dusty environments, in the vicinity of solvents or where inflammable gases and vapours can occur.

    Description Functions The solar charge controller • monitors the battery voltage, • controls the charging process, • controls the connection/disconnection of loads connected to the load output. This optimises battery use and significantly extends its service life. Solarzellen konv. La A battery charging algorithm protects the battery from harmful states.

The module voltage can deviate signifi- cantly from the battery voltage. 3.1.4 Notes on choosing suitable solar modules This solar charge controller has a maximum input voltage of 100 V. If this is exceeded even for a short time by the connected solar module, the solar charge controller will be damaged beyond repair and can never be used again.

    4.1. Mounting the solar charge controller 4.1.1 Mounting location requirements • Do not mount the solar charge controller outdoors or in wet rooms. • Do not subject the solar charge controller to direct sunshine or other sources of heat. • Protect the solar charge controller from dirt and moisture. • Mount upright on the wall (concrete) on a non-flammable substrate.
  • Page 9 4.2.2 Connection WARNING Danger of explosion from sparking! Danger of electric shock! X At a voltage of > 75 V, particularly with regard to module open circuit volt- age (over the entire temperature range), the entire solar energy system must be installed with protection class II.
  • Page 10 Loads connected in this manner must also be separately fused. Loads of this type can also be reliably connected via an additional output relay (e.g. Steca PA EV 200 A). X Label the load connection cables as a plus cable (L+) and a minus cable (L–).
  • Page 11 X First connect the L+ load cable to the correct pole of the right pair of ter- minals on the solar charge controller (with the lamp symbol), then connect the L– cable. X Replace the load fuse or switch on the load. 4th step: final work X Fasten all cables with strain relief in the direct vicinity of the solar charge controller (clearance of approx.
  • Page 12: Operation

    CAUTION X Risk of damage to the controller: Make sure that no common connection for the terminals module plus, battery plus and load plus is available such as a common positive ground connection. 4.2.4 Lightning protection In systems subjected to an increased risk of overvoltage damage, we recom- mend installing additional lightning protection / overvoltage protection to reduce dropouts.

    Options • To change (parameterize) the function values you need the remote control “Steca PA RC100”. • Night light function works or on the remote control “Steca PA RC100” adjustable • External temperature sensor available (Steca PA TSA10) Maintenance The solar charge controller is maintenance-free. All components of the PV system must be checked at least annually, according to the specifications of the respective manufacturers.
