battery capacity at 8W load is 27 hours with 36Ah of battery.
3.
VENTING:
The enclosure is vented thru the wire feedthrus in the bot-
tom of the enclosure. Don’t make these airtight with silicon.
4.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE:
The batteries used in the RemotePro
®
systems don’t require any maintenance. They should last up to 5 years
in normal use.
Note: Never store batteries for any length of time in a
discharged state or it will damage the battery.
5.
SOLAR PANEL TILT:
There is a solar panel tilt calculator at the Ty-
con Systems
®
website
http://tyconsystems.com
. We recommend us-
ing a fixed tilt and setting to optimize for winter sun. The panel should
face South if you are in the Northern Hemisphere and face North if you
are in the Southern Hemisphere. You can also calculate tilt using:
Your_Latitude * 0.9 +30
7. BATTERY OVERDISCHARGE
: We highly recommend hooking all
equipment loads to the controller voltage output. This output will discon-
nect the load if the battery voltage drops below 11V and this will protect
the battery from over-discharge. If batteries get completely discharged
because the equipment was connected directly to the battery, you will
reduce the battery life and you will most likely need to supercharge
them with a good quality 10A automotive battery charger. Don’t charge
for more than 8hrs on an automotive charger.
Once they are back to a
normal operating range, the integrated charge controller will maintain
the charge.
8. TROUBLESHOOTING:
A.
I only get the SOL light on my charger controller?—
The battery
voltage and solar panel voltage must match the controller. If con-
troller is TP-SCPOE-12xx it needs 12V solar and battery voltage. If
the model is TP-SCPOE-24xx it needs 24V battery and solar volt-
age.
B. There is no LOA light and no voltage output?—
If battery voltage
is too low the charge controller will turn off the load outputs. On a
12V battery system the load will turn off if battery is <11V. On a 24V
battery system the load will turn off at <20V.
C. Why is my solar panel voltage so high?-
Open circuit voltage
on a 12V panel is around 23V, and about 40V on a 24V panel.
Once you connect to the charge controller the panel voltage will
be reduced to a little higher than the battery voltage.
D. My system turns off at night and comes back on in the morn-
ing?-
This is a sure sign that the solar panels and/or battery ca-
pacity can’t support the load. You should measure your actual
load and recalculate to make sure you have adequate capacity.
