SOLAR CHARGERS
OPERATION SETUP
Step 1.
Remove the solar mat and accessory
leads from the original packaging. Check the
solar mat, leads and connectors for any damage
before use.
Step 2.
Select a suitably cleared area to unfold the solar
mat. The position should allow the solar mat
to have a clear view of the sun and face as close
as possible to ‘NORTH’. The adjustable stand
allows you to adjust the solar panel to the
optimal angle.
WARNING
Cells (panels) will start producing electricity as soon as
they are exposed to the sun. Care must be taken when
connecting the DC clamps to the battery and joining the
extension leads. To reduce the possibility of an electric
shock or short-circuit, it is recommended to place a
blanket or tarp over the panels to block out any sunlight
temporarily while all connections are made.
Step 3.
Refer to the specification label on your battery or
consult the battery manufacturer to establish the
type of battery being charged.
Step 4.
When connecting the controller, ensure
the positive (+) and negative (-) wires are
attached to the appropriate terminals. Incorrect
connection may cause damage to the controller.
The following connection order must be followed
to avoid damage to the controller.
1. Connect the battery to the controller
2. Connect the solar mat to the controller
3. Connect the load you want to provide power to
(if applicable)
4. To uninstall, reverse the above order
.
Step 5. Once connected the controller will receive power
and the settings can be adjusted. The controllers
default battery setting is BaT (AGM).
