Remedy
Please check if the polarities
of the battery or solar panel
connection are correct
Check any fuses and/or DC
switches in the battery and
solar panel wiring. Measure
the voltage at the battery
and solar inputs of the
charger for correct values.
Please contact your TBS
dealer for further assistance
Please make sure that the
solar panels are not covered
and exposed to sufficient
sunlight.
Please check solar panel
wiring to the charger and
make sure that there are no
fuses blown or DC switches
opened and that the
polarity is correct.
Make sure that the solar
panels are generating a
voltage that is at least 2V
higher than the current
battery voltage. Check input
terminals of the charger.
Please check if the solar
panel is not exceeding the
maximum input voltage of
the charger. If it does,
disconnect immediately and
revise the installation.
If the battery is full the
charger will stop charging or
will greatly reduce the
charge current.
Check if the Nominal Battery
Voltage corresponds to the
actual used battery.
