Section 1. Installation

Because the charge input supplies power to charge the CR9000 batteries (up to
two amps when discharged) as well as power the CR9000, the current drawn
from the vehicle could be in excess of three amps.
1.2.3 Solar Panels
In a remote installation, solar panels, in conjunction with a large external
battery, may be used to power the CR9000. The solar panels that Campbell
Scientific carries on it's price list are sized for lower power requirements and
will only be adequate if the CR9000 is programmed to periodically power
itself off so that it is active less than 25 percent of the time. Other panels are
available for continuous operation. Contact a Campbell Scientific application
engineer for help in configuring a solar powered CR9000 installation.
1.2.4 External Battery Connection
An external battery may be used in place of the internal lead acid batteries of
the CR9000. The external battery is connected using a special cable that is
plugged into the CR9000 in place of a standard battery pack (Figure 1.2-1).
Reverse polarity protection is NOT provided on these
terminals and CR9000 damage will occur if external power
is connected with reverse polarity.
CSI recommends using 16 AWG lead wires or larger when connecting an
external battery to the CR9000.
