Solar Technology International Hubi Retro 1 User Manual

SPECIAL NOTE Hubi Retro can deliver a maximum of 3.5A at any one time so if all
the power sockets are used and the combined current exceeds 3.5A, Hubi Retro
will close down to protect its circuits. To reset Hubi Retro, remove the solar panel
from the hub and use the reset tool provided in this kit (or a paperclip or similar
object) and insert it into the Reset socket (Fig 1, 9) on the front of Hubi. Press it
once to reset the system. Then connect Hubi back to the solar panel and once
daylight activates the solar panel the hub will be reset. Hubi is not designed to
work with an inverter. If an inverter is connected to Hubi Retro, the hub will close
down and will need to be re-set as above. Should the above occur, it will not have
damaged Hubi Retro.

Hubi except by Solar Technology personnel or agents appointed by Solar Technology.
Any sign of tampering will result in the warranty being terminated.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. The solar panel never seems to fully charge Hubi
• Check the panel is not shaded and that it is outdoors. If inside, even
if against a glass window, the charge capability of the panel reduces
significantly. Also bear in mind a solar panel looses approximately 8 times
its summer charging capability in the winter.
2. The power indicator on Hubi never shows 4 bars
• This does not necessarily signify that the Hubi is not full. LEDs are not a
totally accurate way to measure power and inaccuracies can sometimes
be experienced. So long as the Hubi after a full sunshine charge delivers
power as indicated in section 3 it is working well.
3. Is there any other way to charge up Hubi other than solar?
• There are two options; charge by mains wall plug or charge by 12v auto
plug – see www.solartechnology.co.uk
4. What happens if Hubi gets wet?
• Hubi is not water resistant although is very robust and designed for use
outdoor but should it get wet disconnect it from the solar panel and other
devices and let it dry naturally indoors for a period of one week. There is a
very good chance it will recover without future problems and can be used
as normal. However, if it will not work then it must be assumed the battery
has been damaged and can be returned to Solar Technology for battery
replacement – see section 8.
5. What about if I break something?
• All parts of the Hubi system are replaceable and we have spares
at Solar Technology in the UK. In this instance please call
+44 (0) 1684 774000 for a quotation.
6. I plugged a device into Hubi and it instantly stopped working
and would not work again.
to view.
• In this instance Hubi's sockets have been overloaded. Hubi can
only deliver a maximum of 3.5A and if more is demanded of it, it will
automatically shut down to protect its circuits from overload. To reset
Hubi disconnect the solar panel cable and follow the instructions in
the 'Special Note', top left next to this page.
