2. Informacje dotyczące bezpieczeństwa
Ważne instrukcje bezpieczeństwa:
- Zawsze podłączaj akumulator najpierw do regulatora ładowania, następnie do panelu słonecznego, a na końcu do obciążenia. Odłączaj w odwrotnej kolejności.
- Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent excessive voltage drop and loose connections.
- Install the controller in a well-ventilated area, away from flammable gases.
- Nie rozmontowuj ani nie próbuj samodzielnie naprawiać kontrolera. W celu uzyskania pomocy skontaktuj się z wykwalifikowanym personelem.
- Podczas pracy z akumulatorami i panelami słonecznymi należy nosić odpowiedni sprzęt ochrony osobistej (PPE).
- The controller is IP68 rated for water and dust ingress, but avoid submerging it for extended periods or exposing it to high-pressure water jets.
3. Funkcje produktu
The Phocos CIS10 Solar Charge Controller offers the following key features:
- Wodoodporna konstrukcja IP68: Suitable for outdoor use, resistant to water spray, rain, and condensation.
- Automatyczna objętośćtage Wykrywanie: Automatycznie wykrywa napięcie systemu 12 V lub 24 V DCtagt.j.
- 5-Stage PWM Technology: Provides Soft Start, Bulk, Absorption, Float, and Equalization charging stages for optimal battery health and system performance.
- Szeroka kompatybilność baterii: Works with LifePo4, LTO, GEL, AGM, Lead-Acid, Calcium, and EFB batteries.
- Funkcje wielorakiej ochrony: Built-in protection against over-temperature, over-voltage, over-current, over-charging, over-discharging, overload, and short circuits.
- Compact and Thin Design: Maximizes solar power utilization with minimal self-power consumption.
4. Konfiguracja i instalacja
Follow these steps for proper installation of your Phocos CIS10 controller:
- Montowanie: Choose a suitable location for mounting the controller. Although IP68 rated, mounting in a shaded or protected area can extend its lifespan. Ensure adequate space for cable connections.
- Podłączenie akumulatora: Connect the battery cables to the controller's battery terminals first. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). The controller will automatically detect the system voltage (12 V lub 24 V).

5. Instrukcja obsługi
The Phocos CIS10 operates automatically once connected. It utilizes advanced 5-stage Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) charging technology to optimize battery charging and extend battery life.
5.1. Ładowanie Stages
- Miękki start: Gradually increases current to the battery.
- Ładunek zbiorczy: Delivers maximum current to rapidly charge the battery to approximately 80% capacity.
- Ładunek absorpcyjny: Ładuje baterię przy stałej objętościtage to bring it to 100% capacity.
- Opłata za pływak: Utrzymuje pełne naładowanie akumulatora poprzez dostarczanie małej, stałej objętościtage.
- Wyrównanie: Automatically performs equalization every 28 days for calcium/EFB batteries to prevent sulfation and ensure cell balance.
5.2. Work Mode (Optional)
The CIS10 controller supports configurable work modes, such as time control and light control, which can be set using an optional external unit like the CIS-CU (sold separately). This allows for customized operation of connected loads, such as solar lights.
6. Konserwacja
The Phocos CIS10 is designed for minimal maintenance due to its robust IP68 rating and epoxy-encapsulated PCB. However, periodic checks are recommended:
- Kontrola wizualna: Periodically inspect the controller and all connections for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose wiring.
- Czyszczenie: If necessary, gently clean the exterior of the controller with a damp płótno. Nie używaj żrących chemikaliów ani materiałów ściernych.
- Stan baterii: Monitor your battery's performance. The controller's equalization feature helps maintain battery health for compatible types.
7. Rozwiązywanie Problemów
The CIS10 controller includes multiple built-in protections to prevent damage. If you encounter issues, consider the following:
- No Charging/Load Output:
- Sprawdź szczelność wszystkich połączeń przewodów i prawidłową biegunowość.
- Upewnij się, że panel słoneczny otrzymuje odpowiednią ilość światła słonecznego.
- Sprawdź pojemność bateriitage is within the operating range (12V/24V).
- Check for any blown fuses in the system (if applicable).
- Zabezpieczenie przed przegrzaniem: If the controller becomes excessively hot, it may temporarily reduce or stop charging/output. Ensure it's not installed in an area with poor ventilation or direct, intense heat.
- Over-voltage/Under-ttage Ochrona: The controller will protect the battery from overcharging or deep discharge. If the battery voltage is too low, the load may be disconnected.
- Short Circuit/Overload Protection: If a short circuit or overload occurs on the load or solar input, the controller will temporarily shut down to protect itself and the system. Remove the fault and the controller should resume normal operation.
If problems persist, refer to the detailed specifications or contact Phocos customer support.
