Please read this manual carefully before using the product, and pay special attention to the safety recommendations in it.
Choosing a Battery
The CIS-N-MPPT-LED is suitable for use with lead acid batteries (gel, AGM, flooded) as well as 12V and 24V Lithium batteries that are supplied with a Battery
Management System (BMS). Use CISCOM in expert mode to adjust charge settings. If using lithium ion (LFP, Li-NMC) , it must be supplied with a BMS. Lithium
batteries have maximum allowed charge currents. These maximums typically decrease in cold temperatures. CIS-N-MPPT-LED does not limit current for these
restrictions. System design of the solar array must account for this. Follow all battery manufacturer safety instructions.
Maintenance and installation notes
When installing or working on the PV system, please disconnect the PV (solar) modules from the charge controller first, to prevent any damages to the charge
controller!
Verify all cable/wire connections are done properly and are well insulated and that no water or humidity can ingress in order to avoid any bad or loose
connections that would result in excessive heating or further damage.
Install a fuse or breaker near the battery before installing or adjusting the controller!
When connecting inductive loads (motors, relays, etc.) a freewheel diode must be connected in parallel to the loads in the reverse biased direction.
High voltage risks
Never touch any electrical conductors to avoid electrical shock.
Never work on live (energized) electrical equipment.
When working around a battery, do not allow tools to bridge the battery terminals, or short circuit any part of the battery.
Use only tools with insulated handles.
Operation of this device may produce a high voltage which could cause severe injuries or death in case of improper installation or operation of the device.
PV modules can generate high DC voltages!
Mains and charging current risks
Make sure the cables are always connected to the correct terminal. An electrical shock can be lethal. In general, any electric shock can be dangerous to your
health.
