OWNER’S MANUAL 11

INDICATOR LIGHTS

The Solar-Breeze NX control panel comes equipped with three indicator 

lights, providing at a quick glance information on unit operation.

POWER LIGHT

The green “Power” light will flash whenever the switch is in 

the “On” position.

CHARGING LIGHT

The charging light indicates a few different modes.

CHARGING MODE

The green “Charge” light will flash whenever the solar panels are 

charging the battery. This can occur whether the Power switch is 

in the “ON” or “OFF” position.  If the unit is placed in the sun with 

the Power switch in the “OFF” position, it may take a few minutes 

before the CHARGE light begins to flash.  If the switch is in the 

“ON” position, the CHARGE light will flash as long as the battery is 

not fully charged and there is ample solar energy available to both 

charge and run the motors at the same time.  If the CHARGE light 

blinks at a slower rate (half the speed of the POWER light) when in 

sunlight on an extremely hot day, it is an indicator that the battery is 

currently too hot to accept a charge.  In very hot weather, the unit 

should only be charged while running, in the pool.
