Supplied
• Cable Ties
• One 9-inch or greater extension of 2-inch pipe
• One 2-inch collar
Procedure:
Note: Step 1 and 2 are not required if pipe is tall enough without the
extension.
1. Attach 2-inch pipe collar to top end of XFC or XRC mounting pipe.
Securely tighten. (See Figure 4)
2. Install a 2-inch pipe extension into collar and securely tighten.
3. Install Solar Panel on mounting bracket with provided hardware.
4. Attach Solar Panel mounting plate to top end of 2-inch pipe with U-
bolts and associated mounting hardware. Do not tighten U-bolts until
Solar Panel has been correctly oriented.
5. If needed, connect Solar Panel power cable to Solar Panel connector
on back of unit. DO NOT connect the other end of the cable to the
unit until all steps are complete AND main battery pack has been
connected.
6. Position Solar Panel to face south in the northern hemisphere and
north in the southern hemisphere. Tighten U-bolts securely to avoid
movement by wind or vibration.
7. Check solar panel polarity using digital voltmeter to insure (+) and (-)
wires are properly identified.
8. The Solar Panel power cable connects to XFC terminal block J5 or
XRC terminal block J17 Charger Input terminals. Refer to Figure 5
or 6 for terminal locations. Remove one of the hole plugs and install
cord connector. Remove nut, sealing ring and rubber grommet from
cord connector. Slide nut, sealing ring and grommet over cable and
insert cable through body of cord connector. Allow enough cable to
extend into the unit for connection to Charger Input +/- terminals.
9. Secure Solar Panel cable using grommet, sealing ring and nut.
TIP: To prevent moisture from entering the unit, allow cable to "dip"
below, and then rise to access hole. This will provide a path for
rainwater away from the access hole.
