Starting Up The Controller - Phocos CML-V2 Manual De Instrucciones

REMARK: If the device is used in a vehicle which has the battery
negative on the chassis, loads connected to the regulator must
not have an electric connection to the car body. Otherwise the
Low Voltage Disconnect function and the electronic fuse function
of the controller are short circuited.

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. Then the
display changes to normal operation.
System Voltage
The controller adjusts itself automatically to 12 V or 24 V system
voltage. As soon as the voltage at the time of start-up exceeds
20.0 V, the controller implies a 24 V system. If the battery voltage
is not within the normal operation range (ca. 12 to 15.5 V or ca.
24 to 31 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 lead-acid battery with
solid electrolyte ('gel' type or 'fleece' type) you can adjust the
charging characteristics (see "Settings"). The equalization charge
is deactivated then. In case of any doubts consult your dealer.
