Maintenance

NOTE: These panels will produce electricity on a continual basis depending on the amount of sunlight they receive, as long as they have a completed circuit and the temperature control is adjusted to the ambient temperature.

1.Be aware that the exhaust fan may operate automatically whenever a solar panel is exposed to sunlight or there is charge in the battery.

2.Some batteries will be damaged if they are continuously charged. Do not leave the fan disconnected and any battery attached to this system. Although the control unit has a built-in regulator, it may not protect the battery in all situations.

3.Keep the solar panels clean. Wipe them occasionally using a damp cloth with mild detergent. Do not use abrasives. Dirt on the glass will reduce the capacity of the panels to receive sunlight.

4.Periodically check the wiring, mounting and status of the system. Repair any unsafe condition immediately.

5.If the unit stops working even in bright sunlight, check the fuse. Open the fuse container on the side of the Control Unit by turning the fuse cap counterclockwise. If the fuse wire is broken, replace the fuse with an identical 3 amp fuse. Replace and tighten the fuse cap.

Electrical Power Sources Connected in Series and Parallel.

Solar Panels, batteries and other power sources may be connected in a circuit in “Series” or in “Parallel”. When connected in series, the voltage is combined while the Amperage is unchanged. When connected in parallel, the voltage remains unchanged while the amperage is combined.

In series, the voltage is combined while the amperage is unchanged.

In parallel, the voltage remains unchanged while the amperage is combined.
