Installation
1.
Remove solar panel kit from protective/storage carry bag.
2.
Unclip the two latches on the side of the unit and fold the two panels outward. Extend the legs to support
the solar panels.
3.
Locate in a clear sunlit area free from over hanging branches or obstructions.
4.
Place the solar panel kit facing the sun.
Note: To obtain maximum output it is suggested that the panels’ angle be frequently adjusted to track
the suns movement through the day.
5.
Fully extend battery lead and connect the battery clips to the + positive (red) & - negative (black) battery
terminals on a 12v battery. Ensure that the connections are secure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. What type of batteries can be used with this kit?
A. Any 12V DC battery used for caravans, motor homes, cars, boats, motor cycles, etc.
Q. When will the blue System light illuminate?
A. Only when the solar panels are generating sufficient power to charge the battery and connected correctly
to a battery. (MUST BE CONNECTED TO A BATTERY TO WORK)
Q. Can I extend /lengthen the battery lead?
A. Yes extensions are ok but the longer the length the less efficient the power will be.
Q. Do I need to clean my solar panel?
A. Yes. Dust & dirt should firstly be swept off the panel surface using a soft brush and then use a wet cloth to
wipe the panel surface to remove remaining dirt & grime. It is recommended that any bird droppings be
removed as soon as possible as if left can cause damage to the surface.
Q. Will water damage my solar panel?
A. The solar panels are very well sealed, water should not effect them at all. The regulator even though well
sealed should not be exposed to excessive amounts, water may enter via the wire connections.
Trouble shooting if system does not function
Check all connections to ensure they are secure and free from moisture & debris.
Measure the battery voltage, if it is 14.4V or higher, the green light on the solar charger controller
should be illuminated. Check the condition of the battery, ensure it will hold a charge.
Ensure sufficient light is available. Position your solar panel kit to face towards the sun.
A battery must be connected to the battery leads before the regulator LEDS will glow.
