Version 1.2 7 Watt Solar Charger Solar Panel Owner’s Manual Warning: Read carefully and understand all ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS before operating. Failure to follow the safety rules and other basic safety precautions may result in serious personal injury. Item# 41007 Thank you very much for choosing a Competition Solar! For future reference, please complete the owner’s record below: Model: _______________ Purchase Date: _______________ Save the receipt, warranty and these instructions. It is important that you read the entire manual to become familiar with this product before you begin using it. This solar panel is designed for certain applications only. The distributor cannot be responsible for issues arising from modification. We strongly recommend this solar panel not be modified and/or used for any application other than that for which it was designed. If you have any questions relative to a particular application, DO NOT use this item until you have first contacted the distributor to determine if it can or should be performed on the product. For technical questions please call 1-800-509-8058. Intended Use To extend the life and keep 12 Volt batteries healthy they need to be recharged on a regular basis, the 7 Watt Solar Charger will help with recharging 12 Volt batteries. This product is designed to charge rechargeable 12 Volt batteries. Some common uses of 12 Volt batteries are to provide power to RVs batteries, water pumps, deer feeders, boats and trucks. When the panel is exposed to sunlight and connected to the battery in parallel it will start charging at a current up to 7 Watt or 583 mAmps per hour. Technical Specifications Rated electrical characteristics are within +/-3 percent of the indicated values. Maximum wattage Maximum Output Working Voltage Solar Panel Type Weight Dimensions Specifications 7 Watts 583mA 15 – 17V Amorphous Solar Technology 3.09 Lbs 12.4 x 15.7 x .72” The above electrical characteristics are based on the results of outgoing test. Do not expose solar module to sunlight concentrated with mirrors, lenses or similar means. Under normal conditions, photovoltaic modules may experience conditions that produce more current and/or voltage than reported at Standard Test Conditions. Modules should be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 when determining component voltage ratings, conductor capacities, fuse sizes and size of controls connected to the module output. Refer to Sec. 6908 of the National Electric Code for an additional multiplying factor of 125 percent (80 percent of rating), which may be applicable. Page 2 of 4 General Safety Rules WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in serious injury.
