CHARGING
Fully charge before first use. For maximum efficiency,
charge after each use or every 2
is being stored. Failure to properly charge as listed below could damage the
performance. CAUTION: ONLY USE CHARGERS PROVIDED WITH THE SOLARPOD
DAMAGE MAY OCCUR.
Charging Indicator - Indicates Charging Rate
1.
Five yellow
LEDs represent the charging rate when using any of the methods of charging
below.
2.
Each yellow
LED equals approximately 20% charge rate. This will help you to position a solar
panel in the best angle to the sun. If the Solarpod™ Pro 1000
or 12V - 24VDC power source, all 5 LEDs should be illuminated.
Battery Indicator - Indicates Battery Capacity Level
1.
Five blue LEDs represents the current battery capacity.
2.
Each blue LED represents approximately 20% full.
Solar Charging (recommended Sunbird Solar 120W Solar Panel)
1.
The Solarpod™ Pro 1000 has built-
in battery protection and does not require a solar charge
controller.
2.
Place the solar panel in direct sun.
3.
Connect the solar charging cable (included) male pin tip to the DC IN port
Pro 1000. Connect the MC4 (+) and (-) tips to the solar panel.
4.
Adjust the solar panel so that it is directly facing the sun.
Charging will begin immediately
the yellow charging LED indicators will illuminate.
5.
To ensure full battery charge, continue charging for 1 additional hour.
6.
To maximize battery cycle life, disconnect when Solarpod™ Pro 1000
AC Wall Charging (Adapter Included)
1.
Connect the male pin tip of the AC Wall Charger into the DC IN port of the
and then plug the other end into an electrical outlet.
2.
The charging indicator on the AC Wall Charger
will illuminate red when charging is in process
and green when the Solarpod™ Pro 1000 has reached a full charge.
3.
The yellow charging LED indicators will also illuminate.
4.
To ensure full battery charge, continue charging for 1 additional hour after
1000 is fully charged.
5.
There is no need to disconnect AC Wall Charger when charging is complete.
Connecting Charging Lines to the Solarpod™ Pro 1000
1.
Align head tabs with DC IN socket on back of unit.
2.
Turn head clockwise until the silver lock tab is a
t top and press lock tab toward unit.
3.
To unplug charging head, follow the above steps in reverse order.
