3.2 Bedradingsvolgorde

1. Connect the battery to the controller first. Ensure correct polarity.
2. Connect the solar panels to the controller. Ensure correct polarity.
3. Connect the external temperature sensor to the controller and place it near the battery.
4. If using multiple controllers, connect them via the parallel wiring port.

3.3 Parallel Charge Extension Function

To increase the charging current for your single battery bank system, you can connect up to 9 of our MPPT controllers (M4880F/M48100F models) together using parallel charge cables (not included) to charge the same battery pack, meeting high power charging requirements. Ensure all controllers are set to the same battery voltage.
