Solar Panel; Filling The Tank; Problem Solving - Hotline 119150001 Guide D'installation

Solar panel

If you have the optional solar
panel, connect to the positive
and negative terminals to the
corresponding wires from the
solar panel.

Filling the tank

The tank will fill until the float switch cuts the power
to the pump, once the high water level has been
reached. After the initial filling It is recommended
that the battery is recharged fully before the
animals begin to use the trough. This can be done
via an independent battery charger or the solar
panel.

Problem solving

1: Check battery. Batteries that are not fully charged can drastically reduce the performance of the pump. If you
have a fully charged battery to hand, swap them first to see if this solves the problem. Check the battery connection
leads to the box are connected correctly.
2: Solar panel. The older type have a regulator on the back of the panel with red and green lights to indicate if
power is being transferred to the battery. If not, use a multi- meter to check voltage at the end of the leads.
3: Float switch. Try to ascertain if moving it by hand will activate the pump. Obviously one person need to be at
the tank and one at the pump location. Check the box is working in this regard by making a connection across the
terminals with a screwdriver. If you suspect the box is the problem, put the lead directly onto the battery to see if
the pump will work.
4: Pump: If the pump in not working directly onto the battery, disconnect the lead extension at the waterproof
connector. Check for water ingress. Try the pump on the battery without the lead extension. Make sure the pump
is clear of debris.
5: Lead length: The lead represents a load on the pump which reduces performance. If the pump is installed in a
static location and has excess lead coiled up, cut the lead to length to improve performance.
