3.8 COMMISSIONING
AFTER
INSTALLATION
CAUTION!
Check the polarity of all wiring before
commissioning: positive connected to positive
(red cables), negative connected to negative
(black cables).
1
If all wiring is OK, place the DC-fuse between the Solar
Chargemaster and the battery
WARNING
When placing this fuse, a spark can occur,
caused by the capacitors used in the Solar
Chargemaster. This is particularly dangerous in
places with insufficient ventilation, due to the
gassing of the batteries an explosion can occur.
Avoid having flammable materials close by.
2 Then. place the DC-fuse between the Solar
Chargemaster and the load.
3 The Solar Chargemaster will initiate the charging
process if the voltage from the PV array is sufficient.
If the Solar Chargemaster does not switch on,
press
MENU
shortly.
4
Refer to section 2.6 for settings.
3.9 DECOMMISSIONING
To put the Solar ChargeMaster out of operation, follow
these instructions in order of succession:
1 Switch off all loads that are connected to the Solar
Chargemaster;
2 Disconnect the PV array by switching off the switch
between the PV-array and the Solar Chargemaster (or
protect the PV-array from light exposure, e.g. by
covering the PV modules);
3
Remove the DC-fuse between the Solar Chargemaster
and the battery;
4
Remove the DC-fuse between the Solar Chargemaster
and the load;
5 Check with a suitable voltage meter whether the
Battery connection and the LOAD output of the Solar
Chargemaster are voltage free;
6
Disconnect the negative cable to the PV array from the
terminal block of the Solar Chargemaster. Isolate the
core of the wire with insulating tape;
7
Do the same for the positive cable to the PV array;
8
Disconnect all other remaining wiring.
Now the Solar Chargemaster can be demounted in a safe
way.
3.10 STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION
When not installed, store the Solar Chargemaster in the
original packing, in a dry and dust free environment.
Always use the original packing for transportation. Contact
your local Mastervolt Service Centre for further details if
you want to return the apparatus for repair.
3.11 RE-INSTALLATION
To reinstall the Solar Chargemaster, follow the instructions
as described in this chapter (chapter 3).
