The power output of the Flexopower SK120 is suitable for smaller appliances and shorter stays in
camps without power. The power output of the Flexopower SK240 is suitable for 1-2 refrigerators and
longer stays in camps without power.

Assembly and disassembly
(observe correct polarity: plus to plus, negative to negative)
3.1
Mount solar regulator with the remote LCD display in a suitable position as close as possible to
battery. Ensure solar regulator is protected from the elements, engine oil, engine heat etc.
3.2
Connect the solar regulator to the battery terminal at its battery symbol.
Please note the
battery cable is not included in kit.
3.3
The solar regulator will now switch on.
3.4
Position SK120 / SK240 solar panel where it will have full day sun exposure. Temporarily leave
solar panel folded up until point 3.8. (eliminating the possibility of sparks when connecting the
solar panel to the solar regulator, i.e. no current flowing).
3.5
Connect SK120 / SK240 solar panel to the 10m cable via 50Amp Anderson grey connectors.
3.6
Connect the 10m cable to the solar regulator via 50Amp Anderson grey connectors.
3.7
The SK120 / SK240 ™ solar panel is now connected to the solar regulator and battery. Remove
Styrofoam and unfold the solar panel to full day sun exposure. The deep cycle battery is being
charged now.
3.8
Secure SK120 / SK240 through its eyelets if required.
3.9
The reverse order applies when disassembling. The solar regulator may be left permanently
connected to the battery terminals.
Optional
Permanently connect load (fridge, lights) to DC port of solar regulator. DC flows directly from
panel to load/consumer. Surplus DC power is stored in battery. Any balance will be supplied
from battery if DC output from panel is insufficient. Automatic switch during sun set and sun
rise.
Benefits:
eliminate 15% waste/loss of generated solar power in battery
reduced battery cycles and prolonged service life of battery
measure consumption of load (fridge, lights) in Amps via remote LCD display
Caution:
do not connect load exceeding 14A
do not connect AC inverter to DC port of solar regulator
