Routine Maintenance - Samlex Solar SRV-100-30A Manuel D'utilisation

SECTION 9 |
If the Positive output cable of the Solar Charge Controller (Cable "A") is connected to the Positive
battery post of the first battery (Battery 1 in Fig. 9.2) or to the Positive battery post of the first
battery string (Battery 1 of String 1 in Fig. 9.3), and the Negative output cable of the battery charger
(Cable "B") is connected to the Negative battery post of the first battery (Battery 1 as in Fig. 9.2)
or to the Negative Post of the first battery string (Battery 1 of Battery String 1 as in Fig. 9.3), the
following abnormal conditions will result:
• The resistances of the connecting cables will not be balanced.
• The individual batteries will see different series resistances.
• All the individual batteries will be charged at different charging current and thus, will reach fully
charged state at different times.
• The battery with lower series resistance will take shorter time to charge as compared to the
battery which sees higher series resistance and hence, will experience over charging and its life
will be reduced.
SECTION 10 |
Please carry out the following routine maintenance:
• Inspect the solar panels and make sure the surface is free from dust, dirt and other debris. Clean with
a wet cloth or glass cleaner, if necessary.
• Check to make sure all structural components, mechanical fasteners and electrical connections are
secure, clean and corrosion-free.
• Check and maintain battery electrolyte levels at regular intervals as per battery manufacturer's
recommendations if flooded/wet cell Lead Acid batteries are used.
• Check and replace damaged components, if necessary.
