Solar Wiring Installation
Connection of Power Source (Solar)
The system can be solar powered via an optional solar system with 12V
voltage regulator connected directly to the battery.
Do NOT use both solar and mains power at the same time.
The Solar panel must face FULL NORTH with the recommended tilt and within
10m of the battery. The panel requires a minimum of 6 hours of direct sun
light to be effective (hand print size shading will reduce output by up to 80%).
The Regulator is not weatherproof and must be located inside the control box
to protect it.
Additional accessories connected may reduce the batteries
performance e.g battery life and/or battery standby capacity during
unfavourable conditions.
Refer to the separate coloured “Wiring Guide” for a
step-by-step way to install the components in the control box
45 watt Solar Panel wire colour coding:

The solar panel is supplied with 10mtrs of cable.
You can extend the cable another 20mtrs to get
the panel into the required 6hrs of full sunlight a
day.
