6. Connect to charge controller
Connect tinned wire to end of the extension cable. See image #8. Refer to charge controller instructions
included below – ensure that all polarity is followed correctly.
7. Connect charge controller to battery.
Connect to a battery:
Attach the Battery Charge Controller positive (+) wire to the positive (+) battery terminal. Then connect the Battery
Charge Controller negative (-) wire to the negative (-) battery terminal.
WARNING: The alligator clips MUST be placed on to the battery in the aforementioned order—wrong connections
may cause sparking or explosion.
Connect to Solar Panel:
Strip the solar panel wires. Connect positive (+) wire from the solar panel to the positive (+) of the charge controller
and the negative (-) wire from the solar panel to the negative (-) of the charge controller. Ensure the connections
are secure.
Operation:
The Green LED indicates a full-charged battery. When the battery reaches 14.2 V, the Solar Charge Controller will
cut out voltage thereby ensuring no overcharging. Yellow light indicates a battery that is being charged. When the
battery reaches 13 V, the Battery Charge Controller will cut-in and begin charging.
NOTES:
• It is normal for both lights to flicker on and off during normal operation. The Battery Charge Controller should be
placed within 5' of the battery in a dry, well-ventilated area. All connections should be parallel to ensure 12 V
system (positive to positive and negative to negative).
8. Connect 12VDC socket to battery to use 12V items or the included inverter to use AC items.
9. For AC devices or appliances use the 200 Watt inverter included in the kit. Connect the O rings to the
battery making sure the positive O ring is attached to the positive battery terminal and the negative O ring
is attached to the negative battery terminal. Then simply plug the AC device into the inverter. Remember
the start up surge power of the device which is approximately double the continuous power must be
under the wattage value of the inverter. Please refer to the inverter manual for operating instructions.
It is strongly recommended to turn off the inverter when not in use. The inverter's standby current draw
or no load draw is 0.2-0.3A. If the inverter is not turned off after use, it is possible to drain the 18Ahr
battery within 3 days.
USE OF INCLUDED ADAPTORS
Connector to12 Volt DC Plug (#4)
This connector allows panels to be connected into 12 Volt DC Socket. Use of this connector should be
done for very limited amounts of time due to lack of protection form charge controller. Risk of
overcharging the battery is great.
Connector to 12 Volt DC Socket (#5)
This connector allows 12 Volt devices to be connected directly to the panels. Since the panels have
variable voltage, use of this cable is limited.
12VDC Socket to Battery Clamps (#6)
Connects to battery to use 12 Volt Devices
