GENERAL SET UP INSTRUCTION

  1. Unpack the solar panel at the location where it will be set up. Start with unfolding the back flip. Place the solar panel on solid ground and in the direction of the sun.EVEBASE GO 120W Solar Panel - GENERAL SET UP INSTRUCTION 1
  2. Unfold the solar panel and use the kick-stands at the back for support.EVEBASE GO 120W Solar Panel - GENERAL SET UP INSTRUCTION 2
  3. Use the kickstands at the back side of the panels to place the solar panel in the right angle.
    Note: To use solar energy most efficiently, try to ensure that the sun shines on the panels at a 90° angle. The efficiency of the solar panel depends upon light intensity and the tilt angle used. The charging power of the panel may be affected by a number of factors such as weather conditions, seasonal changes and location.EVEBASE GO 120W Solar Panel - GENERAL SET UP

  2. Hold the MENU button for 3 seconds to ENTER a display interface in order to adjust the interface parameter  value manually. The value of the parameter will flash when ready to adjust.
  3. While the value is flashing, press the MENU or DOWN button to switch or increase and decrease the value of the interface parameter.
  4. Hold the MENU button for 3 seconds to EXIT a display interface in order to set the adjusted interface parameter.

Note: The automatic memory function of this controller will set the value if this is not done manually.
Overview of the display interfaces:

EVEBASE GO 120W Solar Panel - Overview of the display

Interface 1: Main interface.
Interface 2: Displays the surrounding temperature of the charge controller.
Interface 3: Displays the charge current from the solar panel to the connected battery.
Interface 4: Displays the discharge current from the battery to the connected load. The icon in the middle shows how much power is left in the battery.
Interface 5: Displays the accumulated charging power from the solar panel to the battery.
Interface 6: Displays the accumulated discharging power from the battery to the load.
Interface 7: Displays the charging cut-off voltage. The solar panel automatically stops charging the battery when this voltage is reached to prevent damage caused by excessive battery voltage.
Interface 8: Displays the discharge recovery voltage. The battery will automatically stop powering the load when the voltage is too low. When the battery has returned to a sufficient voltage level, it will automatically start powering the load again.
Interface 9: Displays the discharge cut-off voltage. The battery will automatically stop powering the load when the voltage of the load is too low.
Interface 10: Displays the set time for the load output. This can be changed by adjusting the parameters.
Interface 11: Battery selection menu. The correct battery type must be selected before connecting the battery to the solar panel.

SET UP WITH A PORTABLE POWER STATION

  1. EVEBASE GO 120W Solar Panel - SET UP WITH A PORTABLE POWER STATIONFollow the general setup instruction of the solar panel.

  2. Use the 5-meter connection cable and connect this cable to the charging input port of the portable power station. Multiple cable connectors are included (DC/Anderson/XT-60).EVEBASE GO 120W Solar Panel - SET UP WITH A PORTABLE POWER STATION 1

  3. Unzip and open the controller bag. This bag is located at the back side of the solar panel.EVEBASE GO 120W Solar Panel - SET UP WITH A PORTABLE POWER STATION 2

  4. Connect the 5-meter connection cable to the left DC-output port of the solar charge controller.
    Note: To secure a stable current it is recommended to connect the power station to the solar charge controller by using the 5-meter connection cable. However, it is also possible to connect the 1-meter solar panel cable directly to the power station. Warning: Do not connect both cables to either one or multiple power stations or other devices simultaneously to avoid damaging.EVEBASE GO 120W Solar Panel - SET UP WITH A PORTABLE POWER STATION

SET UP WITH OTHER BATTERIES

The solar charge controller makes this solar panel able to recharge a range of batteries. In this chapter is described how to set up the charge controller to recharge other batteries than a portable power station. Read the operation instruction in this chapter carefully before use.
Warning: Please check if the battery is compatible with the output wattage and output voltage of this solar panel.
The charge controller is only suitable for regulating solar modules. Do not connect other charging sources to the charge controller.
Operation Instruction
It is possible to connect other types of batteries to the plus and minus poles at the bottom of the controller.

  1. Check if the battery is compatible with this charge controller. This charge controller is suitable for the following 3 types of batteries:
    • Lead-acid batteries (12V/24V auto);
    • Lithium-ion batteries (3 strings of 11.1V lithium batteries);
    • Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries (4 strings of 12.8V).
    Warning: This product can not be used for other batteries.

  2. Set up the solar panel in a position with sufficient sunlight to power the charge controller.

  3. Select the battery type in the charge controller menu according to the following steps:
    a. Press 10 times on the MENU button to go to the BATTERY SELECTION MENU.EVEBASE GO 120W Solar Panel - BATTERY SELECTION
MENUb. Hold the MENU button for 3 seconds to enter the BATTERY SELECTION MENU. BATTERY TYPE INDICATOR (B1/B2/B3) will flash. The
    BATTERY TYPE can be selected now.
    c. Press the MENU / DOWN button to switch between the different BATTERY TYPES. It is only possible to switch and select the correct BATTERY TYPE while the BATTERY TYPE INDICATOR (B1/B2/B3) is flashing.
    Select B1 for a lead-acid battery (12V/24V auto);
    Select B2 for a lithium-ion battery (3 strings of 11.1V lithium batteries);
    Select B3 for a lithium-iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery (4 strings of 12.8V).
    d. After selecting the correct BATTERY TYPE, hold the MENU button for 3 seconds to set the battery type. Note: The automatic memory function of this controller will set the value automatically if this is not done manually.
    Warning: Make sure the right battery type is selected before connecting the battery. The product and rechargeable device can get damaged when the wrong battery type has been selected. To adjust this setting in the charge controller, follow previous steps and make sure that the solar panel is set up in a position with sufficient sunlight to power the charge controller.

  4. Connect the battery cables (not included) to the correct poles (plus/minus) of the charge controller. The cables should be as short as possible to minimize energy loss.EVEBASE GO 120W Solar Panel - BATTERY SELECTION MENU 3Charge controller battery poles (plus/minus)

  5. Connect the battery cables to the correct poles (plus/minus) of the battery. Follow the instructions of the battery manufacturer.

  6. If applicable, connect the load (external device) to the charge controller. Connect the cables of the load to the correct poles (plus/minus) of the charge contrller. Charge controller load (external device) poles (plus/minus)
