THE SOLAR REGULATOR
REDARC solar regulators ensure that the power supplied by your solar panels is at the right voltage to charge
your lead acid house or auxiliary batteries. REDARC solar regulators are Pulse Width Modulated (PWM)
controlled and incorporate automatic system voltage detection.
REDARC solar regulators come in 10 A, 20 A and 30 A models which are capable of charging either 12 V or
24 V battery systems. The SRPA regulators are supplied factory set to the AGM battery type setting; A REDARC
remote monitor (SRPA-RM) is required to change the battery type.
WARNING & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INST124-2
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS — THIS MANUAL
CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR REDARC SOLAR REGULATORS.
DO NOT OPERATE THE SOLAR REGULATOR
UNLESS YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THIS
MANUAL AND THE SYSTEM IS SETUP AS PER
THESE INSTRUCTIONS. REDARC RECOMMENDS
THAT ANY REGULATOR/CHARGER BE INSTALLED
BY A SUITABLY QUALIFIED PERSON.
WARNING
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES:
WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID
BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE
EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL OPERATION.
FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE
THAT YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH
TIME YOU USE THE REGULATOR.
CAUTION
1. Solar Regulators should not be used by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they are supervised or have been instructed
on how to use the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should
be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the Solar Regulator.
2.
Do NOT use the Solar Regulator to charge
non-rechargeable batteries. Doing so may
result in harm to the user and/or damage to
the regulator and/or solar blanket. Only use
the Solar Regulator for charging standard lead
acid, calcium content, Gel & AGM type 12 V
and 24 V batteries.
3. Over Charging Hazard. Failure to connect solar
panel’s negative wire directly to the
regulator may result in overcharging the
battery. The solar panel’s negative wire must
be connected directly to the regulator only.
4. Check the battery manufacturer’s data for
your battery and ensure that the voltage of the
charging profile you select does not exceed
the manufacturer’s recommended maximum
charging voltage. If the absorption and boost
voltage for your battery type is too high,
please select another charging profile. The
Solar Regulator is not intended to supply
power to a low voltage electrical system other
than to charge a battery.
5. Electrical Hazard. Incorrect connection of
batteries and solar panels in Parallel or Series
can subject the regulator to high voltages that
will damage the regulator. Ensure the
recommended connections and sequences
are followed and that the rated current,
wattage and voltage of the regulator is not
exceeded.
6. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in
vicinity of battery or engine.
This may cause the battery to explode.
