PSB150 Intended use

4 Intended use

The portable solar blanket is a mobile power supply with a solar charge controller for

charging a 12 Vgbattery.

5 Technical description

The portable solar blanket consists of lightweight solar cells with anti-reflective,

scratch-resistant ETFE coating. The solar charge controller stored in a bag of the blan-

ket can be used to charge a 12 Vgbattery.

The solar charge controller ensures that the power supplied by the solar blanket is at

the right voltage to charge a home or auxiliary battery. The solar charge controller is

an intelligent 5 stage PWM solar controller.

Solar charge controller

The solar charge controller has the following functions:

•PWM controlled

•Five stage charging (Soft, Bulk, Absorption, Equalization, Float)

•Battery types selectable: LiFePO4, LTO, GEL, AGM, WET or CALCIUM

•LCD display dynamically displaying operating data and working condition

Additional protective functions of the solar charge controller:

•Incorrect polarity protections for battery

•Over voltage protection for battery

•Over heating protection for battery

•Battery over-discharge protection

•Under charge protection for battery

•Over charge protection for battery

•Short circuit protection

•Prevents discharge at night under low light or no light condition

Battery temperature sensor

The battery temperature sensor allows the solar charge controller to continuously

adjust charge voltage based on measured battery temperature. Temperature com-

pensation of charge voltage assures that the battery receives the proper charge volt-

age as battery temperature changes during normal operation.

Using the solar blanket PSB150

6 Using the solar blanket

6.1 Positioning the solar blanket

Eyelets on four corners and sides of the portable solar kit provide different mounting

options. This solar blanket can be mounted on a vehicle, caravan or tent to provide

shade and provide power generation as well. It is recommended to place the solar

blanket north at 20 to 40 degree, which can provide the maximum power no matter

at any season.

➤Locate a clear area free from over hanging branches or obstructions.

➤Remove the solar blanket from the carry bag.

➤Lay the solar blanket on the mounting location. Fix the solar blanket at the eyelets.

NOTICE!

Make sure that the solar blanket is always clean and dry (chapter “Main-

taining and cleaning the product” on page 17).
