Connecting Solar Power
Package to a WatchDog
DO NOT attach the charge cable to the battery's positive terminal until
the WatchDog unit is completely connected. To avoid possible damage
to the Solar Power Package, or your WatchDog device, the Solar Power
Package is shipped with the charger cable disconnected from the posi-
tive terminal of the battery (fig. 1). The fuse connected to the Watch-
Dog Power Cable protects the system if the red and black wires touch
while connected to the battery.
1.
On your WatchDog device, remove the cap from the gland through
which the cable is to pass.
2.
If you are connecting to a Sensor Pup that will also have a sensor
cable passing through this gland, feed the sensor cable through the
cap and then through the gland.
3.
Clip the zip tie that attaches the power cable to the frame. Pull the
protective heat shrink off the ground cable (fig.1).
4.
Feed the red and black wires through the cap, then through the
gland. If you have run a sensor cable through the gland, the power
cable wires can be squeezed around it.
5.
Attach the wires to the desired adapter by pressing down the lever,
inserting the bare wire, and releasing the lever.
