panel connector on the back of the unit. DO NOT connect the
other end of the cable to the unit until all steps are complete,
and the main battery pack has been connected.

Position the solar panel to face south in the northern
hemisphere and north in the southern hemisphere. Tighten the
U-bolts to avoid movement by wind or vibration. Check the
solar panel polarity using the digital voltmeter to insure (+) and
(-) wires are properly identified.
5E
Remove one of the hole plugs from the side of the enclosure,
and install the cord connector.
Remove the nut, sealing ring and rubber grommet from the
cord connector. Slide the nut, sealing ring and grommet over
the cable, and insert the cable through the body of the cord
connector. Allow enough cable to extend into the unit for the
connection to the charger input +/- terminals located on the
main electronic board, XFC
terminal block J17 charger input terminals. Secure the solar
panel cable using the grommet, sealing ring and nut.
TIP:
To prevent moisture from entering the unit, allow the cable to dip
below and then rise to the access hole. This will provide a path for
rainwater away from the access hole.
