WARNING: Shock, fire and energy hazards. Make sure the solar panel is covered
with an opaque sheet or facing the ground before connected or disconnected the
cable wire to the solar panel junction box. All wiring must be done in accordance with
applicable local and national electrical wiring codes.
Connect Unit to Solar Panel:
WARNING: Shock, fire and energy hazards. The Solar input port is rated at 17.5V
4A and is designed to be used with the supplied Solar Home and RV Kit 40W solar
panel. If a non Solar Home and RV Kit 40W solar panel is use, be sure the solar panel
is design for a 12V battery system and with maximum open circuit voltage less than 25
VDC. Please refer to the specifications label on the solar panel before connecting. Do
not connect with PV source capable of delivering more than 8 amps. Connect solar
panel with higher voltage or current rating will permanently damage the unit and may
cause fire and energy hazard.
 Unfold the Solar Home and RV Kit 40W solar panel. Cover the solar panel with an
opaque sheet or flip the solar panel with the solar cell facing a flat ground to minimize
the output voltage to zero volts. Beware of sharp object that may cause damage the
surface of the solar panel.
 Unscrew the plastic junction box cover from the back of the solar panel.
CAUTION: Reverse polarity. Improper connections (reversing the wire connection on
the solar panel connection box) will cause the unit to malfunction and may
permanently damage the unit. Damage caused by a reverse polarity connection is
not covered by your warranty.
 Connect the red, white, green wires of the provided solar cable to the three
connectors in the solar panel junction box through the supplied strain relief with red
wire connected to positive, white wire to negative and green wire to the ground
