INTRODUCTION
Your new Samlex Solar Charging or Expansion Kit provides you with a clean,
green, silent and sustainable way to ensure your batteries are fully charged
and you have a continuous source of electricity while dry camping or in the
absence of a conventional electricity. Each kit comes with a high quality
solar panel, which produces DC electricity when illuminated by sunlight.
In a Solar Charging Kit, a state-of-the-art 30 Amp solar charge controller
is provided to be connected between the solar panel and the storage
batteries. The solar charge controller will make sure the battery is charged
with the harnessed solar electricity, as per the battery manufacturer’s
recommendations. The solar charge controller comes with eight selectable
charging profiles to meet the charging requirements of most standard
lead acid batteries used in RVs and remote off-grid solar applications, as
well as Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) batteries. The LCD screen on the charge
controller provides detailed information about the system status including
battery voltage and charging current. The solar charge controller is flush
mountable, which is ideal for mounting within the RV interior. The Samlex
Solar Charging Kit also includes a mounting system: sturdy aluminum
Z-brackets with the nuts and bolts required to flat mount the solar panel
on the roof of the RV or any other flat surface. If you wish to optimize
the collection of solar energy by tilting the solar panel to an optimal
inclination, an adjustable tilt-mount may be purchased separately. The cable
management hardware incorporated in the kit will enable you to effectively
manage any external wiring. To expand your system further and harness
more energy from the sun, you may use one of our Solar Expansion Kits
which come with a solar panel and all the hardware you need to mount the
extra solar panel and link it to the existing system.
This manual provides instructions on how to put together the various
components of the Samlex Solar Charging and Expansion kits. Please refer
to the separate solar charge controller manual for detailed information
about the installation, operation and programming of the solar charge
controller.
Please read the manual carefully before installing or operating the solar
kits to prevent personal injury or damage to the components. If you have
any concerns about the suitability of the kits for your application or doubts
