How to connect the blanket to your devices.

Now with a new Anderson connector – the 180w Baintuff solar blanket offers a simple plug and play solution. The blanket comes with an Anderson cable and a Solar Controller. The Solar Controller is normally used when there is no internal controller in your equipment. (ie: when you want to charge your car battery, or a secondary battery in a trailer.)

DC18V OUTPUT
Connect the Anderson connector with solar charger controller and then connect the Alligator clamps to your batteries. Always connect the battery you are wanting to charge FIRST to the Solar Controller before connecting the Solar Blanket. The reason is the Controller’s AUTO SENSING needs to know what voltage it has to be set at, before the Controller can operate.

USING WITH THE BAINTECH POWERTOP
The grey Anderson connector on the Solar Controller is plugged into the Powertop’s grey Anderson socket or the battery you are intending to charge. The red Anderson socket is plugged into the cable from the blanket with the same. Plugging the grey connector in first, allows the auto-select function to kick in and determined if the battery is 12 or 24 volts before the blanket is connected.

SOLAR REGULATOR INCLUDED – See product specifications

Solar panel charger should not be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety.
Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries by the solar panel charger. It can damage the regulator or solar panel charger or create harm for the operator. Only use the solar panel charger DC18V for charging standard lead-acid, lithium-polymer, Li-Fe, Gel and AGM type 12V batteries .
Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine. This may cause the battery to explode.
Please keep the junction box out of water, if there is some water in the junction box, please make sure it’s dry before using. Always clean the blanket after use to keep cells efficient and at their maximum.
