3.2.4.1 Connecting
1.
Once the array has been positioned suitably and the extension cables
safely run back to the unit, the array can be connected.
2.
Before connecting the solar extension cables to Pyxis, ensure that the
Solar Isolator Switch
“Fig. 1 - Control Panel” on page 9
is turned off.
3.
Connect the array to the Solar Array Input on the control panel
“Fig. 1 -
Control Panel” on page 9
.
4.
The LED indicator to the right of the inputs will illuminate to show that
the connection has been made.
5.
Ensure that the extension cable connectors are fully engaged
to avoid the risk of them pulling out easily and possible
electrocution.
6.
Once all connections are safely made, switch on the solar isolator
switch on the control panel
“Fig. 1 - Control Panel” on page 9

7. Ensure that the main isolator is switched on. Pyxis and connected
Battery Extender Modules will only charge from the solar input with
the main isolator in the on position.
8.
The Battery Condition Indicator will move to the maximum position.
This indicates that the battery is being charged, it does not indicate
that the battery is full. (This indication is dependant on the Fold-Array
receiving sufficient direct sunlight).
