!IMPORTANT! It is recommended that only qualified, experienced personnel, familiar with this type of
equipment, who have read and understood all the instructions in this manual should install, operate, and
maintain the system.
Mounting
SFM 1080
The SFM 1080 is a totally enclosed system, and should be permanently mounted on a hard, level surface. This weatherproof
unit is designed for well-ventilated outdoor use within specified temperature range, and should be located as close to the
tank as possible.
Solar Panel
The solar panel that powers the SFM 1080 should be permanentaly mounted on a hard surface or supported bracket. The
panel should be installed in a location that is exposed to direct sunlight for the majority of the day. Nearby obstructions may
limit direct sunlight, which can inhibit optimal power/charging delivery to the battery. The optimal tilt angle for the solar panel
varies by geographical location. Contact your representative for information relating to your location.
Electrical
!WARNING! To avoid the risk of electric shock, make sure that the power supply to the system is disconnected
and ensure that the system is at zero volts, before working on any of the system’s electrical parts.
The SFM 1080 should be grounded for operator safety. Connect all components to the ground studs provided as shown on
the electrical drawings.
!WARNING! The whole system (enclosure, doors, plumbing, motor, electric sub panel) must be properly
grounded for operator safety.
Note: Wiring and electrical installation must be in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local rules, laws,
standards, and regulations.
