TC-1000 Radar Speed Sign Installation Manual MN0018 v21.01
Making the Power Connections
7) Connect the solar wiring 2 prong male and female pins (from step 1) to power up the sign.
8) Watch LEDs run through a quick test. (15-20 seconds). Testing is complete when the blue blinking light changes
from solid to blinking. The sign should be operational at this point with factory settings
.
9)
If the sign does not power up or operate at this point, disconnect and check your solar connections in the
solar panel junction box. They are most likely reversed.
10)
Connect the batteries with the 4 prong male and female pins. If you do not do this, your sign will
operate only during the daytime using solar energy!
To Check Solar Panel Connection
1) Disconnect 4-prong loop connector
(a)
2) Keep the 2-wire connector from the solar panel
connected. (b)
3) If the sign works, the wiring is correct. If not, re-open the
solar panel junction box located on the solar panel and
check to see if the wiring insulation has been pushed in
too far and is preventing contact with the copper strand.
If there is good contact with the wiring then you may
have the wires reversed.
