minal on Battery 2.
SolarPulse has an LED on top of the circuit box. The
LED will light up when the wires are attached to the
battery terminals and the solar panel receives sun-
light. If the LED does not light it may be due to one
of the following reasons:
• The SolarPulse has been installed incorrectly
(reversed polarity or a short).
• There is a bad connection.
• The battery has a short.
• Low light (dusk and dawn).
III. Mounting The Solar Panel
Mount the solar panel where it will have direct
access to the sun. It can be mounted on the vehicle
or equipment either horizontally or vertically.
The solar panel can be mounted in one of the fol-
lowing ways:
• Heavy-duty dual-lock
• Double-sided tape
• Hot glue or other adhesives.
IV. Basic Care and Cleaning
The SolarPulse system is completely weatherproof
so moisture will not damage it. DO NOT use clean-
ing solvents on the circuit box.
II. Connecting The Lugs
The lugs are designed for permanent or semi-per-
manent installations. IMPORTANT: The positive (+)
SolarPulse wire (red) must be connected to the pos-
itive (+) battery terminal and the negative (—)
SolarPulse wire (black) to the negative (—) battery
terminal in order for SolarPulse to work.
1. Slip the round metal lug at the end of the positive
(red) SolarPulse wire onto the bolt securing the
battery clamp to the positive terminal until it sits
next to the nut tightening the clamp. Slip a star
washer (not included) onto the bolt and next to the
lug.
2. Screw a hex nut (not included) onto the bolt and
tighten it until it secures the lug and washer
between it and the clamp nut. When SolarPulse is
active (receiving sunlight) this will allow the unit to
send a pulsating dc current through the terminal
and into the battery to prevent the buildup of sul-
fates on the lead plates.
3. Repeat steps 1 - 2 for the negative lug.
Two 12-Volt Batteries In Series (5-Watt ONLY)
We recommend you use one 5-Watt SolarPulse per
12-volt battery for the best results, it can be used on
two 12-volt batteries connected in parallel. For the
parallel battery installation, just follow Steps 1 and 2
above and connect the positive lug or clamp to the
positive terminal on the first battery. In Step 3, con-
nect the SolarPulse negative lug to the negative ter-

SolarPulse ™ Precautions
• DO NOT hold positive and negative lugs at the same time while the unit is
active. It may cause a slight electric shock.
• Any solvents that may be harmful to plastic should not be used on or near the
unit.
• Secure ALL SolarPulse wires and verify they are a safe distance from moving
parts before starting the vehicle.

The pulsating dc current produced by this product may interfere with the cor-
rect operation of some electronic devices when the unit is placed near the
antenna. In order to insure no interference, the circuit box should be placed
away from the antenna.
