Aquifer Expedition Solar Power Pack
This system handles universal voltage inputs and will operate on both AC and DC
power sources;
•
100 — 240 vac 50 - 60Hz (using a standard US 110vac plug)
•
Solar power from the three 145watt solar panels
•
12 vdc to input terminals (jumper cables)
•
24vdc to input terminals (jumper cables)
Solar charge control
AC Power supply
The Solar charge control will display the power coming in, the battery voltage and the
power being used. When the batteries are fully charged the input Amps will drop to
below 1. Note that the load will disconnect (the pumps will stop if the battery voltage
the battery voltage drops to about 25 volts (this is to protect the battery pack from
over discharge). Once the battery voltage comes back up to about 26.5 volts the
pumps will start again. If there is not full sun the system may cycle on and off as the
battery drains and the input from the solar panels is not high enough to run the sys-
tem.
