standard banana jack connector. Connect the DC positive and negative to the
red and black jacks respectively.
The charge circuit uses a maximum of 1 A and requires a minimum of 16 V. If
using a PV module for recharging, the open circuit voltage of this module should
not exceed the maximum rating shown on the DS-Tracer front panel. If you
connect a supply that produces less than 1A, the DS-Tracer simply takes longer
to recharge. The internal charging circuitry limits the DC charging current.
Therefore power sources with current capabilities greater than 2 A can be used.
For example, a 5 A PV module could be used. The DS-Tracer will only draw the
current it needs for charging.
The automatic charging system maintains the battery at its peak charge level
and will not overcharge the battery. When the battery is fully charged, the full-
charge indicator comes on. You do not need to turn the DS-Tracer on to
recharge the battery. Operating the tracer will not affect the time it takes to
recharge.
It will not harm the battery to leave the DS-Tracer connected to the power source
after the battery is fully charged. Note: The full charge indicator may come on for
a short time if the charging power is removed before the DS-Tracer is fully
charged. This occurrence does not indicate that the battery is fully charged.
During charging, the front panel of the DS-100C near the irradiance connectors
may get slightly warm.
Exterior Cleaning
The exterior surface of the DS-Tracer may be cleaned with a soft cloth damped
with water or a mild soap only. Do not use detergents, abrasive cleansers, or
other solvents.
