If planning on using the unit while charging with solar, make sure that the Main switch is
in the ON position. Then turn ON the desired output.
AC and DC outputs
can also be
used while the unit is being charged by solar. However
,
limit the current output to the
value
s
mentioned earlier.
Charging via AC
When charging via AC 2-pin inlet, make sure that the Main Switch i
s
in the
OFF
position
.
It is recommended that when charging via AC input do not use the AC and DC output
terminals.
Connect the 2-pin inlet AC cable that is included with the unit. The unit can be charged
in vertical or horizontal position. Figure 11 shows the unit being charged
horizontally
with the AC cable.
Figure 11.
Charging via AC power cable
It will take about
3 hours
to fully recharge the internal battery. Do not cover or block the
exhaust vents when charging with the AC cable. The unit can be
left plugged in
once
the battery is fully charged.
This will maintain the battery when the unit is not in
operation.
State of Charge
When charging with the solar panel
(
s
)
or with AC power, the display will turn on, and
after a few seconds, the backlight will turn off.
Figure 12
.
Digital display charging motion
The display will show a
"
charging motion
” when
charging via solar panel
(
s
) or
AC
power.
The state of charge is shown by percentage, and by the battery icon. Each bar in the battery
icon represents about 20
%
of charge. Once the battery is fully charged
,
the "charging
motion
"
will stop
,
and the state of charge will remain at 100
%.
