Solar Panel Charging System Test, Cont.
Step
Procedure,
Cont.
2.
Check solar panel for any physical damage or obstructions to
sunlight. Sunlight obstruction prevents solar panel from receiving
enough sunlight to charge installed battery pack.
Correct and retest as necessary.
3.
Solar panel should be positioned so it receives the most sunlight.
Do not place it in a shaded area.
Correct and retest as necessary.
4.
Check solar panel wiring to be certain it is correctly connected to
associated XRC-195 Board termination block J17.
Correct and retest as necessary.
5.
Measure Solar Panel Voltage at connector using a DMM
connecting the (+) and (-) leads to the (+) and (-) Solar Panel
Wires. Loaded Voltage should be greater than or equal to
specification listed in Table 5–2. If Solar Panel is not above
minimum, replace Solar Panel continue to Step 2.
6.
Disconnect Solar Panel from XRC Board.
7.
Set DMM range to read over 20 VDC.
8.
Determine if Open Circuit voltage is greater than or equal to
specification listed in Table 5–2, by clipping positive lead of the
DMM to positive wire and clipping negative lead of the DMM to
negative wire. If Solar Panel is not above minimum, continue to
next step.
9.
Using selected Resistor from Table 5–2 for your Solar Panel
Wattage, attach selected Resistor between the two Solar Panel
wires.
10.
Clip the positive lead of the DMM to the one side of the Test
Resistor.
11.
Clip the negative lead of the DMM to the other side of the Test
Resistor.
12.
Determine if Loaded Voltage is greater than or equal to
specification listed in Table 5–2. If Solar Panel is not above
minimum, replace Solar Panel and retest.
13.
If a issue still exists, return to the Power Troubleshooting
flowchart and continue testing.
