5. UnderstandingtheUnitSetting

SC1210LDandSC1220LD:

Theunitisfullyautomatic;nootherunitsettingisrequiredoncethebatterytype(Sealed

LeadAcidorFlooded)issetanditisinstalledproperly.Itisrecommendedtoverifythe

stateofchargeofthebatteryregularlyandtoverifythattheloadconnectedtotheunitis

notoverratedfortheunit.Itisalsorecommendedtoverifythatthepowerconsumption

ontheloadislessthatthesolarpanelcanproduce.

SCD1230:

Theunithasabuilt‐inclockandtheDCLoadisprogrammabletobeturnedONandOFF

automaticallyeachdaythroughtheunitsetting(seeAppendixformoredetails).TheDC

LoadcanalsobeswitchedtoONorOFFmanuallyusingthe‘Enter’button.TheDigital

displayshowschargingstatus,solarpanelvoltage,batterychargingcurrent,DCLoad

currentanderror/warningcode.

7. OperationandMaintenance

Theunitisfullyautomaticandnounitsettingisrequiredonceitisinstalledproperly.Itis

recommendedtoverifythestateofchargeofthebatteryregularlyandtoverifythatthe

loadconnectedtotheunitisnotoverratedfortheunit.Itisalsorecommendedtoverify

thatthepowerconsumptionontheloadislessthatthesolarpanelcanproduce.

Thefollowingperiodicinspectionsandmaintenancetasksarehighlyrecommendedforbest

performance.

•Checkforanyrustingorcorrosionaroundthebatteryterminals

•Verifythesolarpanelsandloadsconnecteddonotexceedtheunitrating

•Tightenalltheterminalscrewsandinspectforanyloose,brokenorburntwire

connections.

•Ensuresolarpanelismountedproperlyandisplacedintherightposition.Checkforany

dirt,debrisandcorrosiononthepanel.

•Periodicallycleansolarpanelswithwateranddonotusechemicals

8. Troubleshooting

NoOutputatDCLoad:

zCheckDCloadterminalconnection.Connectionmaybelooseordisconnected.For

SCD1230,checkthe‘ClockOFF’icon.TheDCloadmaybeturnedOFFautomaticallybythe

unitsetting.

zCheckconnectionpolarity.Reversepolarityonanyterminalswilldamageunitandisnot

coveredbywarranty.

zCheckthebatteryvoltage:

−ForSC1210LDandSC1220LDmodels,checkthatthe‘Loaddisconnect’LEDisON.Verify

batteryvoltageisabove12.6V.

−ForSCD1230,checkforanyerrorcodeonthedisplay.Verifybatteryvoltage.Checkifthe

timeandtheautomaticON/OFFfunctionisactive.

Batterydidnotcharge:

zVerifythesolarpanelisfunctioningproperly.Checkforpoorconnectiononthesolarpanel

zVerifysolarpanelisnotblockedbyanysurroundingtallobjects.Checkthesolarpanel

surroundingarea.

zChecksolarpanelandbatteryconnections.Looseconnectionwillreduceunit

performance.

zCheckconnectionpolarity.Reversepolarityonanyterminalswilldamageunitandisnot

coveredbywarranty.

zVerifytheDCloadconsumption.ThepowerconsumedbytheDCloadshouldbelessthan

thesolarpanelgenerates.
