Recommendations For Use - Phocos CX48 Bedienungsanleitung

Starting up the Controller
Self Test
As soon as the controller is supplied with power either from the battery or the solar array,
it starts a self test routine. This is indicated first by running LCD bars for approx. 0.5
seconds, and then the firmware version is displayed in coded symbols for about another
second (this is for service purposes only). Then the display changes to normal operation.
System Voltage
The controller adjusts itself automatically to 24 V or 48 V system voltage.
As soon as the voltage at the time of start-up exceeds 40.0 V, the controller implies a 48
V system.
If the battery voltage is not within the normal operation range (approx. 21 to 31V or
approx. 42 to 62 V) at start-up, a status display according to the section ERROR DESCRIPTION
occurs.
Battery Type
The controller is preset to operate with lead acid batteries with liquid electrolyte. If you
intend to use a VRLA battery (GEL type) you can adjust the controller in Programming
Menu 1 (see back page). The equalization charge is deactivated.

Recommendations for Use

The regulator warms up during normal operation. If there is insufficient ventilation (e.g.
in an installation cabinet), the controller limits the solar charge current to prevent
overheating.
The regulator does not need any maintenance or service. Remove dust with a dry tissue.
