INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Step 1: Positioning
Select a location where your solar panels will get maximum daily sunshine exposure avoiding any shade. This may be on the roof or exterior walls of homes, cabins, RVs, etc. Ideally, try to have your panel facing perpendicular to the strong midday sun, between 10AM and 2PM.
Step 2: Mounting
Choose a solid and supportive mounting surface, capable of withstanding all expected loads, including the weight of the solar panel as well as those imposed by wind and snow. Attach “S” mount brackets to solar panel frame using screws and bolts provided. Use at least one bracket on every side of the panel. Position brackets on frame by sliding along track. Tighten screws to secure brackets to frame. Connect power cable to solar panel connector Using screws provided, secure solar panel to surface selected in step 1.
Step 3: Multi-Panel Connection
If you have more than one SolarCharger 4000/6000/8000 panel, simply connect the Plug’n’Play® corner of one panel to the next using the quick-connect cable (SKU#10222, available for purchase separately). Observe steps 1 and 2 when mounting additional panels.
Step 4: Charge Controller to Battery Connection
Place the charge controller in a cool, dry and well ventilated area that can be easily accessible, usually around the battery compartment or in the cabin area. Connect the charge controller’s output or BATTERY+ Negative (black or -) connection to the Negative (-) terminal of the battery. Next, connect the controller ’s output or BATTERY Positive connection (red or +) to the Positive (+) terminal of the battery.
Step 5: Charge Controller to Panel Connection
First, connect the power cable to the charge controller’s input or “Solar Panel / Array” connection. Start by connecting the black negative (-) wire of the power cable to the charge controller’s Negative (-) connection. Then, connect the red positive (+) wire of the power cable to the positive (+) connection of the controller. Second, plug in the quick-connect side of the cable to your solar panel’s quick connect port.
NOTE: For more details on the charge controller operation, consult the controller instructions included with your Sunsei™ charge controller (available separately).
NOTE: Remove yellow wire protector caps prior to connecting to a Sunsei™ charge controller
