USAGE
a. Wiring:
Note: the panel and socket are pre-wired.
- Cut the cable according to your installation (fig. 1)
x: panel connection to the control box
y: switch connection to the control box
z: socket connection to the control box
- Strip the cables in order for the connections to be made properly to the control box (fig.2)
- Follow the diagram carefully for correct system operation (fig.3)
Ensure that the connection polarities are respected.
b. Fastening the photovoltaic panel:
- To ensure optimum performance the photovoltaic panel must be positioned in such a way that it is able to capture
the maximum amount of solar power during the day. This means that the direction and angle of the panel must be
calculated according to its installation location.
recommendation:
installing the photovoltaic panel at a 45° angle facing towards the South provides the opti-
mum conditions for capturing the maximum amount of solar power.
Use of a mounting bracket for fastening the selected panel angle to suit your needs is recommended (bracket not
supplied).
- Select the appropriate location for installing the photovoltaic panel. The panel must receive the maximum amount
of sunlight during the day and during different periods of the year in order to operate correctly.
As a result the following checks must be made in order to verify whether the position selected is correct:
- Check that there is sunlight present for most of the daytime at the selected installation location.
- Check that the installation location is not surrounded by thick vegetation or anything capable of creating shade.
- Check that the direction and angle of the solar panel are correct.
Warning: initially the battery charge will not be at the optimum level. It takes several days of char-
ging for your system to reach optimum capacity.
This system will allow you to have lighting for around 3 hours per day (subject to optimum installa-
tion conditions and length of sunshine period).
