THE SOLAR REGULATOR REDARC solar regulators ensure that the power supplied by your solar panels is at the right voltage to charge your lead acid house or auxiliary batteries. REDARC solar regulators are Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) controlled and incorporate automatic system voltage detection.
10 minutes and seek medical assistance immediately. The Solar Regulator will achieve best results when proper battery maintenance is regularly performed. This includes but is not limited to checking water and specific gravity levels of the battery.
Connect to the Battery and Solar Panel via an Anderson™ SB™ 50, 50 A grey connector. The REDARC Solar Regulator should be installed as close as possible to the battery it is charging. Refer to the Installation notes in section 3.1 (on page 9) and System Wiring (page 11).
LED1 off LED1 Green & LED2 orange — 3 flashes/second There is no charge from the solar panel. Check the The regulator internal temperature has exceeded solar panel is connected correctly and the panel is 80°C / 176°F and will stop charging until the in full sunlight.
If using multiple panels, it is highly recommended to ensure that they are identical. CAUTION OVER CHARGING HAZARD. FAILURE TO CONNECT SOLAR PANEL’S NEGATIVE WIRE DIRECTLY TO THE REGULATOR MAY RESULT IN OVERCHARGING THE BATTERY. THE SOLAR PANEL’S NEGATIVE WIRE MUST BE CONNECTED DIRECT TO THE REGULATOR ONLY.
