- Page 5 It is recommended that the ground electrode be placed 2 inches above bottom of the tank or the ground wire can be attached to the tank if the tank is metal. The low water electrode should be placed at the desired turn-on point and the high water electrode should be placed at the desired turn-off point.
- Page 6 Return the panels to their normal position. The pump will then operate at its maximum output. (Option 2) For estimated panel voltage adjustment. With the system installed and pumping water, turn the panels away from the sun until the pump flow rate is reduced by approximately 50%.

TROUBLESHOOTING PUMP DOES NOT RUN If the pump does not run, first make sure the on/off switch is in the up position. Then look at the row of lights to check the status of the system. The red light (indicating power in) and the green light (indicating power out) are the only ones that should be on. - Page 8 IF THE RED AND GREEN LIGHTS ARE ON, WITH ALL OTHER LIGHTS OFF AND THE PUMP DOES NOT RUN: (IN GOOD SUNLIGHT) 4. Check for proper controller output voltage. Connect a DC volt meter across terminals 2 (LD-) and 3 (LD+) on the large terminal block. If no voltage is indicated check the fuse. If the fuse is good and there is no voltage on the output, the controller has an internal problem and must be sent back to the factory for repairs.
