Resumen del manual
Adjust the position of the mounting frame to maximize exposure to sunlight. These solar panels are designed to power an exhaust fan, which is ideal for green houses, sheds, boats or house vents. Assemble the solar panel frame. 1. Press the Left and Right Triangle Frames into slots 1 and 3 on both ends of the Top Link Bar and Bottom Link bar, as shown in the diagram. 2. Push the Top Link Bar down to Slot 2 to lock the frame assembly. 3. Position the assembled frame in a location that the Solar Panels will directly face the Sun. The assembly should face the South for maximum exposure and have no obstructions in front of it. The mounting surface must be level, well constructed and capable of supporting the frame assembly and Solar Panels. The location should be out of the way of passersby and protected from damage. 4. Secure the frame assembly using hardware (not supplied) through the four holes in the bottom of the Left and Right Triangle Frames. 5. Carefully place each Solar Panel on the front of the frame assembly, so the bottom of each Solar Panel fits into the slot of the bottom of the frame assembly. 6. Lock the two eye hooks on the backs of the Solar Panels to the bolts on the Top Link Bar to secure the Solar Panels in place. Attach the Adjustable Temperature Control Unit. 1. Mount the Adjustable Temperature Control Unit to a secure location using the keyhole hanger. The Control Unit must be mounted inside the building for the temperature control to function. 2. Attach the ring connectors from the Solar Panels to the contacts on the Control Unit marked “Solar”. Attach the power cords to the proper polarity. There should be two ring connectors on each terminal. Attach the Exhaust Fan. Mount the Exhaust Fan in your building using hardware (not supplied) in the holes drilled in the edge of the fan. Be sure the fan is mounted securely, is protected from water and other local materials which may damage it. A protective grid (not supplied) must be installed on both sides of the fan to prevent injury. CAUTION: The Fan may begin operating without notice whenever there is sufficient electricity in the system from either the Solar Panels or the battery. Attach an optional 12V battery. 1. It is recommended that a 12V 20 Ah battery (not included) be installed to store spare electricity generated during the day so the fan can continue to operate after daylight hours. 2. Battery Connector (jumper cables) are provided. Connect the RED cable to the positive (+) connector of the Control Unit and the positive (+) pole of the battery. Connect the BLACK cable to the negative (-) connector of the Control Unit and the negative (-) pole of the battery. CAUTION: The battery must be rated for 12V and at least 20 Amp-hours. A lesser battery will be damaged if attached to this system. CAUTION: If the fan is disconnected, also disconnect the battery. The battery may be damaged if left connected to a solar panel system without the fan operating. Setting the Adjustable Temperature Control Unit. 1. Adjust the desired temperature by rotating the dial on the front to the desired temperature. When the ambient temperature goes above the desired temperature, the fan will go on, the fan will go off when the temperature falls below the setting. The temperature range is 59° to 140° F (15° to 60° C). 2. The Control Unit has a built in regulator that will prevent battery discharge if the battery level is less than 10.5 Volts or overcharge if the battery charge is over 14.5 Volts. Keyhole hanger Maintenance NOTE: These panels will produce electricity on a continual basis depending on the amount of sunlight they receive, as long as they have a completed circuit and the temperature control is adjusted to the ambient temperature. 1. Be aware that the exhaust fan may operate automatically whenever a solar panel is exposed to sunlight or there is charge in the battery. 2. Some batteries will be damaged if they are continuously charged. Do not leave the fan disconnected and any battery attached to this system. Although the control unit has a built-in regulator, it may not protect the battery in all situations. 3. Keep the solar panels clean. Wipe them occasionally using a damp cloth with mild detergent. Do not use abrasives. Dirt on the glass will reduce the capacity of the panels to receive sunlight. 4. Periodically check the wiring, mounting and status of the system. Repair any unsafe condition immediately. 5. If the unit stops working even in bright sunlight, check the fuse. Open the fuse container on the side of the Control Unit by turning the fuse cap counterclockwise. If the fuse wire is broken, replace the fuse with an identical 3 amp fuse. Replace and tighten the fuse cap. Electrical Power Sources Connected in Series and Parallel. Solar Panels, batteries and other power sources may be connected in a circuit in “Series” or in “Parallel”. When connected in series, the voltage is combined while the Amperage is unchanged. When connected in parall...
