COMMISSION THE BATTERIES
CONNECT THE BATTERIES
THE BATTERY BOX MUST ALWAYS BE LOCATED IN A VERY WELL
VENTILATED AREA AS THE BATTERIES GENERATE HYDROGEN, WHICH IS
AN EXPLOSIVE GAS.
1. After choosing a final location, carefully place
batteries into the empty box, ensuring not to
lift by the terminal points. THE BATTERIES
ARE NOW EXTREMELY HEAVY.
2. Connect the battery –to-regulator cable to the regulator
FIRST, brown or red to + and blue to – THEN to the
battery. Secure in place using the nuts, bolts and
washers provided. Insert a spare fuse (d.7) into the
fuse holder on the battery-to-regulator cable. Any
problem refers to the manufacturers handbook
provided.
3. Apply petroleum jelly or similar to each battery
terminal-this help avoid corrosion.
4. Commence charging of the batteries immediately by
connecting the solar array cable to the PV controller.
DO NOT CONNECT THE REFRIGERATOR,
as the
batteries need an initial charging of two sunny days for
optimum performance.
5. Once the batteries are ready for operation (after two
good sunny days of charging), the refrigerator can be
connected.
