Instructions for charge regulator
The solar charge regulator is designed to control the charging of the battery from the solar panel as well as regulating the power drawn from the
battery to the output devices. It protects the battery from being overcharged or from over-discharge, thus extending battery life.
Technical specifications:
Operating temperature:
Solar panel:
Maximum DC output:
Over discharge protection:
How to Charge:
Ensure the power switch is in the OFF position (See Fig.4 reference 1)
Secure the o-rings on connecting cable C (labelled solar, see Fig. 4, reference 9c) to the "Solar Panel" terminal on the charge regulator (See
Fig.4 reference 3), then connect the other end of the cable to the solar briefcase (See Fig.3, reference 6). Please observe the correct polarity.
The black lead indicates negative (-) polarity and red lead indicates positive (+) polarity. Ensure that the connection is tight and secure.
Secure the o-rings on connecting cable B (labelled battery. See Fig. 4, reference 9b) to the "Battery" terminal on charge regulator (See Fig.4
reference 4), then connect the other end of the cable to the main cable terminated in alligator clips (see Fig.3, reference 8). The alligator
clips can then be connected to your battery, ensuring that correct polarity is observed. The black lead indicates negative (-) polarity and the
red lead indicates positive (+) polarity. Ensure that the connection is tight and secure.
Turn the power switch to the ON position (See Fig.4 reference 1)
The charge regulator provides the following protection for the whole system:
Over-discharge protection: When the over-discharge protection is activated, the "Working" indicator will go off and the charge
1
regulator will shut off the power output to prevent damage to the battery. If this happens, please stop using any applications as there
is not enough power in the battery to power your application. Charge the battery under good sunlight for 2-3 days.
Over-charge protection: When the over-charge protection is activated, the "Charging" indicator will go off, the charge regulator will
2
shut off the power input from the solar panel to the battery. Please disconnect solar panel from the charge regulator.
Over-load protection: Should the output power be too high, the fuse in the charge regulator will blow to prevent damage to the
3
controller itself. The fuse (4A) has to be replaced before the charge regulator will work again.
How to use with a 12V application:
Ensure the power switch is in the OFF position (See Fig.4 reference 1)
Secure the o-rings on the connecting cable A (please note that this cable is labelled load, see Fig. 4, reference 9a) to the "12V output"
terminal on charge regulator (See Fig.4 reference 5) then connect the other end to one of the main cables terminated in either the cigarette
lighter plug or socket (See Fig.3 references 9 and 10). You can then plug in any device with a car charging function.
3V, 6V and 12V outputs are available (see Fig.4 reference 8) (these are located on top of the charge regulator, next to the fuse. Select the
correct voltage, and plug your device in.
Turn the power switch to the ON position (See Fig.4 reference 1)
Caution:
When connecting any device to the solar charge regulator, please ensure that the power switch is turned OFF.
The charge regulator needs to be turned on in order for to activate all its functions.
This solar charge regulator is not waterproof. Please keep the product away from water.
