5. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere
5.1 Te Whakataki i te Pūhiko
- Whakatauhia te ra: When a solar panel is connected and exposed to sufficient sunlight, the module will automatically begin charging the connected 3.7V Li-ion battery. The "Charge" LED (part of Solar panel charging indicators, 9) will illuminate. Once the battery is fully charged, the "Done" LED will light up.
- Momo-C te utu: Connect a 5V Type-C power adapter to the Type-C input (2). The module will charge the battery. The BATT capacity indicators (8) will show the charging progress.
5.2 Powering External Devices
- The module provides a regulated 5V/3A output via the screw terminal (3). Connect your 5V device to this output.
- The Type-C port (2) can also function as a 5V output for external devices when not used for charging.
5.3 Tohu LED
- BATT Capacity Indicators (8): These LEDs light up when the battery is charging or under load. They will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the load is removed.
- Solar Panel Charging Indicators (9):
- Utu: Illuminates when the solar panel is actively charging the battery.
- Ka mea: Illuminates when the battery is fully charged by the solar panel.
6. Tiaki
- Te horoi: Puritia te kōwae kia ma, kia kore hoki he puehu, he paru rānei. Whakamahia he kakahu ngohengohe, maroke hoki hei horoi. Kaua e whakamahi i ngā wai, i ngā mea horoi rānei e whakakoi ana i te kiri.
- Hononga: Periodically check all screw terminal connections to ensure they are secure. Loose connections can lead to poor performance or damage.
- Taiao: Operate the module within its specified temperature range. Avoid exposure to extreme heat, cold, or high humidity.
- Hauora Pūhiko: If using rechargeable batteries, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for battery care to maximize lifespan.
