These instructions relate ONLY to this product and contain important
information for using the product for the first time. Please keep these
instructions for later reference and should always accompany the product
in the event of transference to a new user.
1. Introduction
Dear Costumer, thank you for purchasing the solar pump kit.
With this solar pump kit you purchased a product manufactured according to
the current state of technology.
This product fulfils all requirements of the valid European and natio-
nal regulations. The conformity was proved. The relevant declarations
and documentation are deposited with the manufacturer.
To maintain this state and guarantee a safe operation, you as the user will have
to follow this operating manual!
2. Safety Instructions
- In case of damages caused by not following
this operating manual, the warranty rights
will expire! We exclude liability for any
consequential damages!
- We exclude liability for property or
personal damages caused by inappropriate
handling or not following the safety instructions.
- In these cases any guarantee rights will expire.
Due to safety and admission reasons (CE) it is not allowed to arbitrarily recon-
struct and/or change the solar pump kit.
Therefore, please keep to the operating manual.
The accident prevention rules of the association of the industrial trade coope-
rative association for electric plants and working material are to be considered
in industrial environments
3. Intended Use
- The accumulator station is universally usable for the energy supply of
pumps and other products.
- The accumulator station has 2 switchable outputs with different voltages.
- Output 1 has an output voltage of 18 VDC. A timer function may be
activated.
- Output 2 has an output voltage of 6 VDC.
- The accumulator station is switched off and on via a switch. The
accumulator is further charged in a switched off state.
- The installed accumulator is protected against total discharge,
overcharging and short circuit.
- LEDs provide information about the state of charge and the charge of
the accumulator as well as about the status of the outputs.
- The system is ready-to-plug-in and set up in a matter of minutes.
Note: The accumulator station must not be set up in the blazing sun or in
the water. It is designed in IP 44 (splashproof).
Mode of operation of the accumulator station:
The accumulator station is interconnected between (a) solar module(s) and
the corresponding devices.
>> For initial start, please first connect the battery.
See separate instructions! <<
In the sun, the solar module generates electrical energy and charges the
installed accumulator. The connected consumers are switched on as soon
as the accumulator voltage is in an operational range. The LED „SYSTEM“
provides information about the state of charge of the accumulator.
green light means: accumulator is ready for operation!
red light means: accumulator is exhausted and switched off
The electronics protects the accumulator against total discharge,
overcharging or short circuit.
The charging of the accumulator always has priority over the
operation of the consumers.
4. Assembly and Start-up
4.1 Connection of the solar module
A maximum of 50 Wp of solar module capacity
may be connected to the accumulator box.
The solar module is connected at the cable
on the back side of the accumulator box. A 5m
extension cable for this cable is included in the
set.
Depending on the version, you may connect one or several solar modules to
the accumulator station. A single solar module may directly be connected to the
accumulator box with the plug. A Y-distributor is required if you intend to connect
2 solar modules (e.g. 2 pieces 25 Wp). Via the Y-distributor, both solar modules
are joined and then connected to the accumulator station.
If required, the cable may be extended by another 5 m extension cable.
As soon as the solar module is connected and sunlight falls onto the solar
module, the LED „Charging“ will light up . The accumulator is fully charged
if the LED is flashing.
Please note that the solar modules are positioned shadow-free directed towards
the south and that they are mounted in a stable way.
Attention: The electronics in the accumulator box will be destroyed if more than
50 W of solar module capacity is connected!
4.2 Main switch „SYSTEM“
The toggle switch „SYSTEM ON/OFF“ is
applied at the front side of the accumulator
box. The outputs are switched off if this
switch is switched off („OFF“), however, the
accumulator is still charged. In position „ON“,
the LED „SYSTEM“ shines red or green.
When the LED shines green, then the
accumulator is charged sufficiently and the outputs may be operated as required
via the buttons on the lid of the box. When the LED shines red, then the outputs
are switched off and the accumulator has to be charged until the LED shines
green (see item 6)
4.3 Connecting the consumers
The accumulator box has 2 outputs. Those
may be switched on or off via the „ON/OFF“
button. The green LED above the button
shines green when the output is active.
All outputs are protected against short
circuit. In case of a short circuit in output 1,
the green LED of the output will additionally flash until the fault is eliminated.
Below, every output is described individually. Output 2 is equipped with a
protective cap. This cap has to be removed before connecting consumers.
