Background

Solar-Systems have very much charm. They are build up in few days and supply electrical Power for many years. They are maintenance-free, which is very important for the countries of the south. Only the battery must be changed all 5 to 15 years (depending of the quality). In addition they do not have the environmental pollution (exhaust gases) or noises of a generator and do not have the regularly costs of gasoline, oil etc. The initial costs are higher, but on the long term it is interesting.



Remarks
We do not say that everything of the Metamorphosis is already perfect. But we appreciate all hints and remarks to improve the Hardware (Case) and Software. "The Software is alive" and also your ideas and proposals can be implemented and transferred to you. You find the last Version of the Software in the Internet. (see Chapter "Loading of new Software"). Contact me if you have questions. The Address is at the end of the Document.
Not all Functions are realized in every Unit. Look for your Order what is implemented in your Unit

In the document “Hints_Solar_Techology.doc” on the CD or in the Internet you find many information about Solar-Technology.

Safety

• 
  First connect Battery, then the Solar-Paneels, then the Load. Do not Reverse-Connect the Battery, Solar-Cells and Load!
  
  
  
• 
  12V/24V Outputs have an internal Fuse; But 220V Outputs are not shipped with a Fuse! You have to provide an external Fuse for Safety!
  
  
  

Quick Start

• 
  The Load-Output-Voltage is not regulated. That means it can change between 11,5 V - 14,4V (24 V-System: 23V till 28,8V).
  
  
  
• 
  If the Battery-voltage is not correct, it can be modified in Menu 8, Parameter 47,
  

• 
  The charge controller can be mounted close to the Batteries, to have a exact voltage and temperature.
  

• 
  You can mount the Device on the wall using the two holes in the Cooling-Units.
  

• 
  The Inverter should be connected direct to the Battery with short cable. The Inverter switches off if the battery is empty. See the Appendix for the electrical wiring.
  

• 
  Not all external Terminals are wired. They can be wired according to your specific wishes.
  

• 
  Switch on the device and select with the Program-switch in the middle which values you want to have on the Display.
  
  
  
• 
  Select your Battery-Type (Gel and Lead-Gel) in Menu 8, Parameter 11
  
  
  
• 
  Note that actual Values of Ah etc. take at least 10 Minutes to take effect in the Display.
  
  
  
• 
  If the Battery-voltage is not exact you can fine-tune it with Menu 8 Parameter 47, Value 1.
  

• 
  If the Solar- and Load-Current is not displayed exactly, you can make a correction in Menu 8 Parameter 48, Value 12-14. But the value has limited accuracy due to renunciation of a Shunt in order to improve System losses.
  

• 
  Keep the cable between Charge-Controller and Battery short. If that is not possible, you can try to make a correction by Menu 8, Parameter 71 and 72 to compensate the Cable-losses.
  

• 
  If you install the Software MP_Remote from the CD (Folder \PC_Remote_Control) you have an easy access to all Documents and Parameters.
  

• 
  If you select a high tracking rate for the measured values, you can have a delay in reaction. 1 minute should be ok for tracking.
  

All the possibilities of the Metamorphosis might confuse you. Don’t worry, it is good to know what is possible. And then let us know, what we should activate for you. Just connect your Solar-Panel and Battery and switch on. All Parameters are preset in the right way according to your order. You only need to modify may be the battery-type or if you want some other options or adjustments.
