Beside, press it simultaneously with the Up-key to switch off the Solar SP. 4. Enter-Key: It is pressed with the Down-key to turn on the Solar SP. In battery operation mode, press it with Up-key at the same time to disable the buzzer.
INSTALLATION 3-1 Safety 3-1-1 Positioning 1. Do not put the Solar SP on rugged or declined surface. 2. Do not install the Solar SP system near water or in damp environments. 3. Do not install the Solar SP system where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or heat.
3-1-3 Installation Connect the Solar SP system only to a grounded shockproof wiring system to avoid electric shocks resulting from current leakage. 2. Place cables in such a way that no one can step on or trip over them. 3. Keep wire lengths between the array and the Solar SP as short as possible to minimize copper losses.
3-2 Mounting 1. Make sure a wall surface or a solid place can support the Solar SP. 2. Mark the bracket hole positions of the Solar SP on the wall. Hole Diameter SP1200~SP3600 SP5000~SP8000 Upper Hole 9.5mm 15mm Lowe Lower Hole 10mm 3.
3-3 Wiring 3-3-1 Inspection 1. The system may be installed and wired only by qualified electricians in accordance with applicable safety regulations. 2. When installing the electrical wiring, please note the nominal amperage of your incoming feeder. 3. Inspect the packaging carton and its contents for damage. Please inform the transport agency immediately should you find signs of damage.
