IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES

GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON,

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE

THE SOLAR PANELS.

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and

instructions before using this product. Failure

to do so may result in personal injury and

damage to equipment.

• Use in a well-ventilated area.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Use the solar panels for 12 VDC

systems ONLY.

• Do not use the solar panels without the

voltage regulator.

• Do not use the voltage regulator in damp or

wet locations, or expose to rain or snow.

• Handle solar panels with care; edges may

be sharp.

• Keep solar panels clean and free from oil

and grease.

• Do not use the solar panels if they have

received a sharp blow, been dropped, or

otherwise damaged in any way.

• Use only attachments recommended or sold

by the solar panel manufacturer. Use of

non-recommended attachments may result

in a re, electric shock or injury.

• Unplug the solar panels from accessories or

batteries when not in use.

• Disconnect the solar panels from the

regulator at night.

• Do not install the solar panels to a grid.

• Do not stand on or otherwise apply pressure

to the solar panels.

• Use the solar panels only over a

re-resistant roof.

• Do not focus light on the panels.

• Maintain batteries according to supplier’s

instructions.

PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Wear complete eye and clothing protection

when working near lead-acid batteries.

• Have plenty of fresh water, soap and baking

soda nearby for use, in case battery acid

contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing. Wash

immediately with soap and water and seek

medical attention.

• If battery acid comes in contact with eyes,

ush eyes immediately for a minimum 10

minutes and get medical attention.

• Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly with

baking soda before attempting to clean up.

• NEVER smoke or allow a spark or ame in

the vicinity of the battery.

• Do not drop a metal tool onto the battery.

• Do not wear loose-tting clothing or jewelry

when installing this product.

• Maintain proper footing at all times –

do not overreach or reach over/across

wires or cables.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, prevent

body contact with grounded surfaces such

as pipes, radiators and ranges.

• WARNING: This product contains one or

more chemicals known to the State of

California to cause cancer and birth defects

or other reproductive harm.

LOCATION

• Place the solar panels where they will receive

full, unobstructed sunlight, and not be blocked

by shadows. The location should allow the

panels protection from accidental damage.

• The setup location must be inaccessible to

children, to prevent electric shock.

• 4 •

ASSEMBLY AND MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: Make sure the voltage regulator

is in the OFF position before making

connections.

1. Connect the two ring terminals from the

battery clamp to the back of the voltage

regulator, and then connect the black

clamp to the black/negative (-) terminal on

the battery. Connect the red clamp to the

red/positive (+) terminal on the battery.

• 6 •

2. Connect the end of the lead wires coming

from the solar panels to the splitter cable.

3. Connect the two ring terminals from the

splitter cable to the voltage regulator.

WARNING: Be sure to connect all matching

polarities. Black (-) is negative and red (+)

is positive.

4. Turn the voltage regulator ON to charge

the battery.

5. To stop charging the battery, turn the

power switch OFF and disconnect the

solar panels from the voltage regulator.

USING THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR

The voltage regulator provides the following

protection while charging:

Over-discharge protection: When the

charge level of the battery goes too low

(below 11 volts) from product usage, the

voltage regulator will automatically shut off

the power output to prevent damage to the

battery. If this occurs, stop using the battery

and charge it until the battery is charged.

Overcharge protection: If the electricity

level on the battery goes too high (above

14.5 volts) the voltage regulator will

automatically shut off power input, to

prevent damage to the battery.

Overload protection: If the output current

exceeds 5 amps, the fuse will blow,

preventing damage to the voltage regulator.

If this occurs, have a qualied service

technician replace the fuse.

To use the 12V lights:

1. Turn the voltage regulator ON.

2. Attach the 12V lights to the sockets on

the end of each light wire.

3. Plug the other end of the 12V light’s wire

into either of the 12 Volt DC outlets on the

voltage regulator.

NOTE: The light bulbs should not be used on

anything other than 12V DC systems.

The voltage regulator can also be used to

power other 3V and 6V DC small appliances.

1. Plug the appropriate plug on the multi-

purpose adapter into the appliance. The

adapter has 3, 6 and 12 Volt DC plugs.

2. Insert the plug on the other end of the

wire attached to the multi-purpose

adapter into the appropriate DC outlet on

the voltage regulator.

3. Turn on your appliance.

CAUTION! Only one appliance can be used at

a time with this adapter and the adapter must

be plugged into the same voltage output.

4. When nished, unplug the multi-purpose

adapter wire plug from the voltage

regulator, and then unplug the multi-

purpose adapter from the appliance.

5. To charge a cell phone or other small

electronic item, plug the item’s power

cord into the USB port on the front of the

voltage regulator.

6. Use the inverter output or the 12V female

output ports to connect the male adapters

for 12V accessory items that need to be

charged.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

• Disconnect all solar panels and batteries

and clean with mild, non- abrasive cleanser

and soft cloth and paper towels. Do not

clean with brushes or abrasive cleaners.

• Clean and inspect the solar panels frequently,

to maintain peak efciency. Inspect the

general condition of solar kit system (panels,

batteries, regulator and mounting). Check for

loose hardware, wiring insulation damage or

weathering, cracked glass, open housing,

cracked or broken parts, loose or corroded

contacts, and any other condition that may

affect its safe operation.

• Cover the solar panels with an opaque cover.
