4. סעטאַפּ און ייַנמאָנטירונג
Follow these steps for proper installation of your Phocos CIS10 controller:
- מאָונטינג: 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.
- באַטערי קשר: 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 וו אָדער 24 וו).

- סאָלאַר פּאַנעל קאַנעקשאַן: Connect the solar panel cables to the controller's solar panel terminals. Observe correct polarity. The controller will begin charging the battery.
- לאָדן פֿאַרבינדונג (אָפּציאָנעל): If using the controller for a DC load (e.g., solar light), connect the load cables to the controller's load terminals. Ensure correct polarity.
- באַשטעטיקן קאַנעקשאַנז: Double-check all connections for tightness and correct polarity before powering on the system.
The controller's compact design and integrated wiring simplify installation. Its IP68 rating ensures durability in various outdoor conditions.

5. אַפּערייטינג ינסטרוקטיאָנס
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. טשאַרדזשינג Stages
- ווייך אָנהייב: Gradually increases current to the battery.
- פאַרנעם אָפּצאָל: Delivers maximum current to rapidly charge the battery to approximately 80% capacity.
- אַבזאָרפּשאַן אָפּצאָל: לאָדט די באַטאַרייע אויף אַ קאָנסטאַנטן וואָלומעןtage to bring it to 100% capacity.

- יקוואַליזיישאַן: 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. וישאַלט
The Phocos CIS10 is designed for minimal maintenance due to its robust IP68 rating and epoxy-encapsulated PCB. However, periodic checks are recommended:
- וויסואַל דורכקוק: Periodically inspect the controller and all connections for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose wiring.
- רייניקונג: If necessary, gently clean the exterior of the controller with a damp שטאָף. דו זאלסט נישט נוצן האַרב קעמיקאַלז אָדער אַברייסיוו מאַטעריאַלס.
- באַטערי געזונט: Monitor your battery's performance. The controller's equalization feature helps maintain battery health for compatible types.
7. טראָובלעשאָאָטינג
The CIS10 controller includes multiple built-in protections to prevent damage. If you encounter issues, consider the following:
- No Charging/Load Output:
- קאָנטראָלירט אַלע וויירינג קאַנעקשאַנז פֿאַר פעסטקייט און ריכטיק פּאָלאַריטעט.
- ענשור אַז די זונ - טאַפליע איז ריסיווינג טויגן זונשייַן.
- באַשטעטיקן באַטאַרייע וואָלtage is within the operating range (12V/24V).
- Check for any blown fuses in the system (if applicable).
- איבער-טעמפּעראַטור שוץ: 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.
- איבער-וואָלtagE / אונטער-וואָלtagE שוץ: 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.
