Phocos PLA Control Unit Installation and User Manual
The Phocos PLA control unit allows multiple PL series charge controllers to work together through a common communication interface. It provides four alarm/control outputs, a load switch (LS1) and load‑current measurement. The unit can connect up to three PL controllers and stores system data that can be read by a computer.
The guide covers power‑supply wiring for both common‑positive and common‑negative systems, PL controller connections, LS1 load‑switch integration, serial communication setup, alarm and LED indicators, and detailed configuration of voltage limits, baud rates and synchronization of charging modes across all connected controllers. This manual is written in Chinese.

Questions answered in Phocos manuals
How should the power supply polarity be connected?
For a common‑positive system connect the battery positive (+) to the COMMON terminal and the negative (‑) to the ACTIVE terminal; for a common‑negative system connect the negative (‑) to COMMON and the positive (+) to ACTIVE.
How does the PLA communicate with a computer?
The PLA’s RS‑232 serial port is connected to the computer with a serial cable, and communication is performed using the PLCOM software at the selected baud rate.
How many AA batteries can the Phocos BCM charger charge at once?
It can charge up to four AA cells simultaneously.
What is the maximum charge current of the BCM charger?
The maximum charge current per cell is less than 60 mA at 1.35 V.
What does the low battery disconnect function do?
It cuts the load when the battery voltage drops too low to protect the battery from over‑discharge.
