12 SOLAR-BREEZE NX
NOT CHARGING MODE
The green CHARGE light will only flash when sunlight is bright
enough to charge the battery. If it is not flashing, then the solar
panels are not collecting sufficient energy to allow charging to
take place. If the unit is in full sunlight and the CHARGE light is
not flashing, it could be because the battery is fully charged, in
which case the CHARGE light should glow a steady green. If
the unit is not fully charged, leave the Solar-Breeze NX in the sun
for 5 minutes and check again. If the CHARGE light is still not
flashing, the battery is not fully charged and the unit will still not
operate when the switch is moved to the “ON” position, contact
customerservice@Solar-Breeze.com or call 623-582-2825 for
assistance.
FULL CHARGE MODE
When the green CHARGE light glows a steady green, this
indicates the battery is fully charged and cannot accept
additional charge from the solar panels. At this point, the
charging process will stop until the battery has been drawn down
to a level where it can accept additional current.
The steady green charge light can also occur after a day or two
of storage, with the switch OFF. This is NORMAL, and is used by
the microprocessor to drain the battery down to a slightly lower
voltage for long term storage of the battery. It will go out by
itself, after several days – this will prevent damage being done to
the battery by long term storage at higher voltages.
STATUS LIGHT (RED)
The red “Status” light will flash whenever the battery is low
(“Standby” Mode or “Hunt for Sun” Mode). This tells you why the
motors are not running, or why they are running intermittently (2
Minute ON and 8 Minutes OFF).
The red Status light will burn a steady red and both motors will stop
for 10 minutes if the front paddle-wheel becomes stuck by rubbish. It
will try restarting every 10 minutes.
