Procedure:
Note:
Step 1 and 2 are not required if pipe is tall enough without the
extension. (Reference Fig. 7 for the following procedure).
1. Attach 2-inch pipe collar to top end of the 6200EX mounting pipe.
Securely tighten.
2. Install a 2-inch pipe extension into collar and securely tighten.
3. Install Solar Panel on mounting bracket with provided hardware.
4. Attach Solar Panel mounting plate to top end of 2-inch pipe with U-
bolts and associated mounting hardware. Do not tighten U-bolts until
Solar Panel has been correctly oriented.
5. If needed, connect Solar Panel power cable to Solar Panel connector
on back of unit.
DO NOT
connect the other end of Solar Panel
wiring to the OEU (Optional Equipment Unit) until all steps are
complete
AND
main battery pack has been connected.
6. Position Solar Panel to face south in the northern hemisphere and
north in the southern hemisphere. Tighten U-bolts securely to avoid
movement by wind or vibration.
7. Check solar panel polarity using digital voltmeter to insure (+) and (-)
wires are properly identified.
8. The Solar Panel power cable connects to the Array Input terminals
(See Fig. 10). Remove one of the hole plugs from the OEU and
install cord connector. Remove nut, sealing ring and rubber grommet
from cord connector. Slide nut, sealing ring and grommet over cable
and insert cable through body of cord connector. Allow enough
power cable to extend into the unit for connection to Array Input +/-
terminals.
9. Secure Solar Panel cable using grommet, sealing ring and nut.
Tip
: To prevent moisture from entering the enclosure, allow cable to "dip"
below, and then rise to access hole. This will provide a path for
rainwater away from the access hole.
