How It Works; Junction Box + Solar Intensity Indicator; Auto Restart - Goalzero NOMAD 28 PLUS Manual De Instrucciones

HOW IT WORKS

Charging phones, batteries and other USB-powered devices from the Nomad 28 Plus is as
easy as plugging in.
1. Make sure the Junction Box is plugged into the Charge Cable. You can plug the Charge
Cable directly into a Sherpa Power Pack's blue-ringed Input Port.
2. Open your Nomad 28 Plus and face the panels toward the sun and check the Solar
Intensity Indicator for current solar conditions. 2 or more lights, you're good to go.
3. Plug in your phone or recharger into the junction box and charge up.
WHAT IT POWERS
All the cables you need to recharge Sherpa Power Packs and Goal Zero Yeti Portable Power
Stations are included in the back of the Nomad 28 Plus. The same cable can be used to
chain the Nomad 28 Plus with other chainable Nomad Plus and Nomad Solar Panels.
1. Open your Nomad 28 Plus and face the panels toward the sun and check the Solar
Intensity Indicator for current solar conditions to estimate your recharge times.
2. Remove the junction box from the 8mm cable.
3. Plug the 8mm blue tipped cable into the INPUT on the Sherpa or Goal Zero Yeti.

JUNCTION BOX + SOLAR INTENSITY INDICATOR

This is where the brains of the Nomad 28 Plus live. Several key components work together
to ensure you have the best solar charging experience, including the Solar Intensity
Indicator. These 4 LED lights are indicative of current solar conditions and give you an idea
of how well your gear will charge.
Once you plug into the Nomad 28 Plus, the lights will blink in accordance with how fast
your gear is charging. Think you should be seeing more lights? Try repositioning the Nomad
28 Plus toward the sun and watch how the lights and speed of charge indicator change.
The best charging scenario for phones and other USB powered devices is 2 or more lights.

AUTO RESTART

The Nomad 28 Plus features an auto restart that's smarter than anything else on
the market. With the ability to track power flow history, the Nomad 28 Plus knows
the difference between a device that has reached a fully charged state and one that
disconnects due to environmental causes, i.e. lack of sunlight, shadow, solar eclipse,
etc. When the latter is detected, the Nomad 28 Plus will automatically reconnect the
charging device, no extra work on your part is needed.
KICKSTAND
The Nomad 28 Plus's detachable kickstand allows you to be as lightweight as you need
to be. Leave it attached with the magnets and it pops out to an optimal angle for positioning
toward the sun. It also provides natural shade and a vented pocket for devices you have
plugged in.
CHAINING
Chaining panels is a great way to collect more power from the sun and recharge devices
quicker. You can chain up to 150W of solar panels together, five Nomad 28 Plus Solar
Panels would be 140W; however, we don't recommend more than four in a chain (see the
NOTE below).
1. Unplug the Junction Box – stash it in a safe place, like the zippered pouch so you don't
misplace it.
2. Plug the 8mm Charge Cable into another Nomad Solar Panel's blue-ringed 8mm input
cable.
3. Using the 8mm Charge Cable of the final panel, plug into a Sherpa Power Pack or Goal
Zero Yeti Portable Power Station. You could also reattach the Junction Box to the last
solar panel in the chain to recharge USB powered devices.
NOTE: After four solar panels are chained together, you might notice something called
line loss, which has to do with the loss of voltages over a long distances. The farther the
power has to travel through cables, from panel to panel, the more power you will lose.
