batter voltage. (It is recommended to

leave the voltage display off when not

monitoring the battery voltage since it

consumes energy.) Twelve (12) Volt

batteries should charge to 13 Volts

for a full charge. If the intent is to

stop charging the battery, disconnect

the solar panels from the charge

regulator. Note: The charge regulator

provides “over charge” protection. If

the battery voltage is higher than 14.5

V, the regulator will shut off charge

from solar panel.

4. The

Regulator (2) provides the

following protection while charging:

a.

Over-discharge protection: When

the electricity level of the battery

(not included) goes too low (below

11 volts) the

Regulator (2) will

automatically shut off the power

output to prevent damage to the

battery (not included). If this occurs,

stop using the battery (not included)

and charge it until the Voltage

display shows 13 volts.

b.

Overcharge protection: If the

electricity level on the battery (not

included) goes too high (above

14.5 volts) the

Regulator (2) will

automatically shut off power input to

prevent damage to the battery (not

included).

c.

Overload protection: If the output

current exceeds 4 amps the fuse

(See

FIGuRe 1) will blow to prevent

damage to the controller in the

Regulator (2). If this occurs, have a

qualified service technician replace

the fuse.

note: The On/Off switch of the charge

regulator must be in the “On”

position to activate the three

protection functions mentioned

above.

using the 12 volt Lights and

Accessories.

note: The Charge Regulator must be in

“ON” position at all times.

12 volt Lights (4) aren’t

already attached to the sockets on

Light Wire (7), gently

snap them in.

2. Plug the other end of the

Light

Wire (7) into any one of the 12 Volt

DC outlets on the

Regulator (2) as

shown in

FIGuRe 2.

3. To turn off the lights, unplug the

Light

Wire (7) from the 12 Volt DC outlet

on the

Regulator (2). You may plug

in the other

12 volt Light (4) to either

12 Volt DC outlet.

note: This system can also be used to

power other small 3 Volt DC, 6 Volt

DC, and 9 Volt DC small appliances.
