2. Informasi Keselamatan
Petunjuk Keselamatan Penting:
- Selalu hubungkan baterai ke pengontrol pengisian daya terlebih dahulu, kemudian ke panel surya, dan terakhir ke beban. Lepaskan sambungan dengan urutan terbalik.
- 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.
- Jangan membongkar atau mencoba memperbaiki pengontrol sendiri. Hubungi personel yang berkualifikasi untuk mendapatkan layanan.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when working with batteries and solar panels.
- 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. Fitur Produk

- Desain IP68 Tahan Air: Suitable for outdoor use, resistant to water spray, rain, and condensation.
- Vol otomatistage Deteksi: Secara otomatis mendeteksi tegangan sistem 12V atau 24V DCtagyaitu.
- 5-Stage PWM Technology: Provides Soft Start, Bulk, Absorption, Float, and Equalization charging stages for optimal battery health and system performance.
- Kompatibilitas Baterai yang Luas: Works with LifePo4, LTO, GEL, AGM, Lead-Acid, Calcium, and EFB batteries.
- Fitur Perlindungan Ganda: 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. Pengaturan dan Instalasi
Follow these steps for proper installation of your Phocos CIS10 controller:
- Pemasangan: 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.
- Koneksi Baterai: 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 (12V atau 24V).

5. Petunjuk Pengoperasian
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. Pengisian Stages
- Mulai Lunak: Gradually increases current to the battery.
- Biaya massal: Menghasilkan arus maksimum untuk mengisi daya baterai dengan cepat hingga sekitar 80% kapasitas.
- Biaya Penyerapan: Charges the battery at a constant voltage to bring it to 100% capacity.
- Biaya mengambang: Menjaga baterai tetap terisi penuh dengan memberikan tegangan kecil dan konstan.tage.
- Hal menyamakan: 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. Pemeliharaan
The Phocos CIS10 is designed for minimal maintenance due to its robust IP68 rating and epoxy-encapsulated PCB. However, periodic checks are recommended:
- Inspeksi Visual: Periodically inspect the controller and all connections for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose wiring.
- Pembersihan: If necessary, gently clean the exterior of the controller with a damp kain. Jangan gunakan bahan kimia keras atau bahan abrasif.
- Kesehatan Baterai: Monitor your battery's performance. The controller's equalization feature helps maintain battery health for compatible types.
7. Penyelesaian masalah
The CIS10 controller includes multiple built-in protections to prevent damage. If you encounter issues, consider the following:
- No Charging/Load Output:
- Periksa semua sambungan kabel untuk memastikan kekencangan dan polaritas yang benar.
- Pastikan panel surya menerima sinar matahari yang cukup.
- Verifikasi volume bateraitage is within the operating range (12V/24V).
- Check for any blown fuses in the system (if applicable).
- Perlindungan Suhu Berlebih: 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/Bawah-Voltage Perlindungan: 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.
