7.Connect the two ring connectors at the end of the lead wires coming from the Solar Panels (1) to the Solar Terminals on the Regulator

(2).See FIGURE 1. Be sure to connect by matching polarities on the wires and the Regulator (2). Black (-) is negative and red (+) is positive. Then, connect the wire leads so that all of the Solar Panels

(1)are connected to each other and the Regulator (2) (again, making sure you are hooking up to the right polarity on the Regulator). See Hook-Up Diagram, above.

Wiring

Note: Only a licensed electrician and a licensed building contractor can safely design and implement a grid tie-in system. Any grid tie-in system must meet all applicable building and electrical codes, and must meet standards established by the area power company.

1.Run wires from the panels, through weatherproof grommets and into the enclosure where the charge controller/regulator is located. Use wires of the proper size and rating.

2.Connect to charge controller/regulator according to controller/regulator’s instructions.

3.Secure all connections using terminals, or solder all wire splices to ensure good connections.

4.Weatherproof all connections.

Operation

Note: Performance of the Solar Panels will vary dependent on site location, angle of the panels in relation to the arc of the sun, and available sunlight.

Recharging a Battery

1.To recharge a 12 volt battery (not included), while paying attention to the proper polarity (black (-) is negative and red (+) is positive), connect the two ring terminals on the Battery Connector (3) to the Battery Terminals on the back of the Regulator (2). See FIGURE

1. Then, connect the black clamp to the black or negative (-) terminal on the battery (not included). Finally, connect the red clamp to the red or positive (+) terminal on the battery. Avoid accidental contact of the red and black battery clamps to each other.

Note: Do not change the order explained in number 1 above or electric shock resulting in serious injury or death may occur.

2.Turn on the Regulator. See the On/ Off switch in FIGURE 1 on page 6.

3.Never leave the battery (not included) unattended while charging. When the battery (not included) is fully charged, the reading on the voltage display will show “13” or above. Note: the voltage display will have to be turned on in order to monitor the
