Battery Connection
The charge capacity of the subscriber battery is 18 Ah based on enclosure capability.
To connect the backup battery, refer to the following steps:
1.
Connect the
BLACK
wire from (place to the charger terminal) to the negative (

Battery Replacement
The type of battery used should be replaced every 3 years or when your application indicates replacement is required.
Replace with the same size and type installed.
Battery Supervision
When solar panel power is present, the battery is tested at approximately 30-second intervals.
When the battery voltage is 11.2 V DC or less for two consecutive test intervals (approximately 60 seconds total), a
low-battery trouble message is transmitted.
When solar panel power is present and a low battery reaches a charge voltage above 12 V DC, a restoral message is
transmitted
.
Low Battery Voltage Cutoff
To prevent damage from deep discharge, the SOLAR subscriber disconnects the battery when voltage is less than 10 V
DC.
Discharge/Recharge
The SOLAR panel charges the battery using a charger controller. The battery voltage level conditions are:
•
Low Battery (Trouble message): 11.2 V DC or below
•
Subscriber Battery Disconnect: Below 10 V DC
•
Battery Reconnect (Restoral message): Above 12 V DC
