Power Supply and Electrical Connections
Compact 200 Master Unit
Battery Power Connection
1.
Connect the socket end of the
Battery Connector Lead
to the
Power Input Plug
(marked
A
on the underside of the Master unit)
2.
Connect the battery terminal clips to a fully charged 12 volt battery of at least 30A/hr
capacity. ‘Leisure’ batteries are better for this purpose, rather than vehicle types, since they
are designed for repeated re
-
charging. (
A battery re
-
charger will also be required).
Mains Power Connection
1.
Mains power connection requires the
Power Supply Unit
accessory. If you do not have this
and would like to connect your unit to mains power, contact your Compact Scarecrow
supplier.
2.
The
Power Supply Unit
lead is connected to the
Power Input Plug
(marked
A
on the
underside of the Master unit) using the socket that is on the end of the
Battery Connector
Lead.
For solely mains power connection, the battery lead should be removed. If both
battery and mains power is required, both leads can be connected to the socket.
3.
Connect the
Power Supply Unit
lead as follows:
a.
Undo the
Battery Connector Lead
socket using the
Control Adjustment Tool
to turn the
inner locking ring anti
-
clockwise as shown in the photos below:
b.
Slacken off the gland at the base of the socket and slide the socket housing back on the
cable until the cable connectors are accessible.
c.
If battery power is not required, disconnect and remove the battery cable.
d.
Feed the bare ends of the
Power Supply Unit
lead through the socket housing from the
narrow end.
e.
Look for the
very
small numbers, 1
-
4, at the base of each connection terminal.
f.
Connect the
Power Supply Unit
lead so that the inner white sheathed (po) wire is
connected to terminal 1 and the outer bare (negative
-
) wire is connected to terminal 4.
g.
Ensure all terminal connections are tight and re
-
assemble the socket.
4.
Note: The
Power Supply Unit
is not waterproof. Locate in a damp
-
free place and
ensure that the AC Mains power source is fitted with an overload protection device.
Connecting the Compact 360 Master Unit to the Slave Unit (non solar)
To connect the Slave unit to the Master unit the
Master to Slave Connector Lead
needs to be
wired into the socket end of the
Battery Connector Lead
so that both leads can be connected to
the
Power Input Plug
(marked
A
on the underside of the Master unit). Do this as follows:
1.
Remove the black cover from the
Solar Input Socket
F
(see picture) and use it to undo the
Battery Connector Lead
socket by placing the back of the black cover into the inner locking
ring of the socket and turning it anti
-
clockwise.
