1Safety Notes and Exemption from Liability
Safety notes for personal protection are marked with this symbol.
!
Notes concerning the functional safety of the system are printed in bold type.
The safety notes supplied by manufacturers for additional components that you may connect to this controller must be
observed and are not suspended by these instructions. Please consult a specialist dealer in the event of contradictions
between different instructions.
1.1 General Safety Notes
It is imperative that you observe the following for your safety during installation: avoid creating sparks during all
work! Solar modules generate electricity on the incidence of light. The full voltage is present even when the
incidence of light is low. Therefore please work carefully and take the appropriate safety precautions. Provide the
solar modules with an opaque cover securely fixed with adhesive tape. It is possible to de-energise the modules completely
by using this cover.
!
Double the values of the system voltages may occur during assembly and electrical installation in the direct current circuit of
the photovoltaic system (up to 24V in the 12V system, up to 48V in the 24V system).
Therefore never touch bare cable ends!
Immediately insulate every bare cable end that is not going to be connected straight away.
Only carry out work on a dry surface! Components (solar modules, cables, etc.) may not be wet or damp during
assembly!
Use only well-insulated tools!
Any obstruction to the device’s ventilation may lead to overheating and failure of the device. Do not cover ventilation
apertures and cooling elements.
The controller may not be installed and operated in wet rooms (e.g. bathrooms) or in rooms where highly flammable
gas mixtures may arise due to gas cylinders, paints, varnishes, solvents, etc!
Do not store any of the substances mentioned in rooms where the solar controller has been installed!
The factory-fitted plates and identification symbols may not be modified, removed or disfigured.
SLX Night Operating Instructions page 3
Keep children away from the controller’s electronics and the battery compartment!
All work must be carried out in accordance with national electrical regulations and the relevant local speciafications.
1.2 Exemption from Liability
We cannot accept liability for damage caused by disregarding these instructions within a radius of the controller even if this
damage occurs due to malfunctioning of the controller caused by incorrect installation or programming.
It is neither possible for the manufacturer to monitor compliance with these instructions nor the conditions prevailing and
methods used during installation, operation, use and maintenance of the system controller. Incorrect execution of the
installation may lead to material damage and to subsequent danger to people. The installer himself must be liable for such
damage.
We therefore accept no responsibility or liability for losses, damage or costs arising as a result of faulty installation; incorrect
operation, improper use and maintenance or that is in any way connected thereto.
Likewise we accept no responsibility for patent infringements or infringements of Third Party rights resulting from the use of
this system controller. The manufacturer reserves the right to make modifications with regard to the product, technical data
or assembly and operating instructions without prior notice.
The user shall be responsible for use of the controller in areas of application not defined by the manufacturer
Caution: opening the device up and operation contrary to the intended purpose lead to loss of warranty.
1.3 Area of Use
The system controller is used in photovoltaic power supplies with battery store for the hobby and leisure sector, residential,
business and trade sectors as well as small businesses.
1.4 Installation Instruction
The controller is only suitable for use indoors protected against the effects of weather such as rain and solar
radiation.
The controller must be installed in the same room as the battery for the following reasons:
A built-in temperature sensor detects the ambient temperature
SLX Night Operating Instructions page 4
Short battery cables must be used to keep the voltage drop between the controller and the battery low.
The controller is only suitable for controlling solar modules. However, the battery may also be charged using other sources if
they have an appropriate battery charging function.
The appropriate manufacturer’s installation instructions must be observed for installation of the other components, e.g. solar
cells and consumers and for setting up the batteries.
Do not begin installation until you are quite sure that you have fully understood the technicalities of the instructions and
only carry out the work in the sequence specified by these instructions!
2Controller Functions
The charging controller monitors the battery’s charging status, controls the charging procedure and switching on and off of
the consumers. The battery is utilised to an optimum by the atonic processor and its service life is lengthened considerably.
The charging procedure takes place in accordance with the IU characteristic as a function of temperature. Furthermore, the
battery’s previous history determines a time-limited rise of the end-of-charge voltage to acid circulation. Boost charging if
the charging status drops below 70%, equalising charging if the charging status drops below 40% or every 30 days. The
charging voltages are increased for 2 hours in each case.
Voltage drops and the internal resistance of the battery are compensated without the use of sensor cables.
Protective Measures:
Battery: Reduction of the charging voltage to protect against overvoltage
..................................... Switching off of consumers to protect against exhaustive discharge
Automatic detection of system voltage (12V/24V)
Controller: Overcurrent, excess temperature to protect against surges
Controller resets itself automatically
Consumers: Consumers are switched off in the event of overvoltage
The LED status lamps supply all the essential information with regard to the current operating status.
SLX Night Operating Instructions page 5
Individually programmable functions:
End-of-charge voltage on equalising charging: possible to choose between 14.7V and 15.0V.
Battery type: possible to differentiate between liquid batteries and batteries with specified electrolytes (e.g. gel batteries).
Charging status controlled / voltage-controlled: If charging units or consumers are connected directly to the battery, the
charging status calculation is falsified and there should therefore be a changeover to voltage-controlled.
Permanent nightlight function: the consumer is switched on as dusk falls and off again as the sun rises.
Motion detectors, brief illumination for 5min (special accessories)
Switch off time in the evening, 9 different selectable switch off times
Switch on time in the morning, 9 different selectable switch on times
The controller is protected against polarity reversal, open circuit and short circuit on all inputs and outputs.
3Connection of the Controller:
Recommended Connection Sequence:
+
-
-
+
1. Battery (charge controller as close as possible to battery, safety distance at least
30 cm)
2. Solar module
3. Consumer
Ensure that components are connected with the correct poles!
The controller is initialised on connection to the battery during which it flashes red
three times and then goes into the normal control mode.
In isolated systems there is no need to earth the components. However, the positive
end should be earthed if the components are to be earthed nevertheless. Please consult
the specialist dealer for other types of earthing.
The base on which the controller is to be installed may not be made of flammable material. The rear wall of the controller
reaches a temperature of up to 85 °C due to heat loss and the base must be able to withstand this temperature.
