3: sockets connection to the control box
4: connect the adapter with cigarette lighter plug to the control unit.
- Strip the cables in order for the connections to be made properly to the control box, the On/Off switch and the
sockets (fig.2-a).
- Follow the diagram carefully for correct system operation (fig.3)
Ensure that the connection polarities are respected.
c. Battery charge status:
Orange LED: Battery voltage between 10 and 11V
Red LED: Voltage < 10V
Green LED: Battery voltage > 11V
Green LED flashing: Battery fully charged
d. 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
optimum 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.
e. Usage
Warning: initially the battery charge will not be at the optimum level. It takes several days of
charging for your system to reach optimum capacity.
This system will allow you to have lighting for around 10 hours per day (subject to optimum instal-
lation conditions and length of sunshine period).
- The control box is equipped with an alarm in the event of low battery. A series of beep is emitted when the battery
reached 10V and cuts the exits to avoid deteriorating it.
You can recharge the battery quickly by using the power supply charger (option: CH UNIVERSAL 15) or limit
the use of the electricals appliance while waiting for the lighting conditions to improve and allow the battery to
recharge through the photovoltaic panel.
- If you wish to recharge the battery, you must disconnect the terminals.
- Reset: In the event of incorrect connection, over-consumption for more than 15 minutes, etc. the system is bloc-
ked. A reset is then necessary: Disconnect the panel and remove the fuse (fig 3-4) for a moment.
