WARNINGS & SAFETY INFORMATION
• Keep the solar panel and controller away from liquids at all times.
• Keep the solar panel and controller clean and always check connectors
for debris before connecting.
• This product is not intended to be used by children. In addition to this, adults with reduced physical
or mental capabilities, or those who are under the inuence of drugs or alcohol should not use the
product.
• Only use the solar panel to charge 12v, rechargeable batteries.
• Lead acid batteries produce harmful explosive gases. The battery should be mounted in a
well-ventilated area, away from possible ignition sources.
• Take care when manoeuvring & setting-up the Solar Panel as to not damage the unit.
• Never connect the Solar Panel directly (without a controller) to a battery or other load.
• Tampering or modifying the solar panel, controller or wiring will void warranty.
• When transporting the solar panel, rmly secure the panel so that it will not move
around or collide with other objects.
• Do not use the solar panel, controller or wiring if it is damaged or compromised in any way.

Specications
Operation Instructions
The 160W Folding Solar Panel will perform at its peak when the solar panel monocrystalline cells
and angled directly towards the sun.
Solar Panel Type Monocrystalline
Wattage 160W - (162W @ 14.03V)
Voltage 13.4 - 14.03V
Open Circuit Voltage 22.4V
Peak Current Output 8.75A
Regulator Type PWM (Pulse-Width Modulator)
Dimensions 775 x 670 x 65mm
Extension Lead 5 meters
Solar Regulator IP Rating IP68
• Highly efcient monocrystalline modules in the solar panel guarantee efcient charging.
• When the 160W folding solar panel is folding up, it's space-saving and portable; when the folding solar kit
is open, it has a double sunlight charging area, providing a good consistent charge.
•The regulator is designed to protect the battery from overcharging undervoltage, as well as short circuiting.
• Specially designed support legs enable the 160W folding solar panel to stand on rough surfaces, and on a
desired angle for direct sun exposure.
ADJUSTING YOUR SOLAR PANEL LEGS
• When the locking handle is at 90° (a right angle), the support legs are loose and the angle of the solar
panel can be adjusted.
• When the locking handle is in the down 45° position, the support legs are locked and cannot move or
shake at all.

CONNECTING YOUR SOLAR PANEL
• Now that the panel is setup facing directly towards the sun.
Connect the positive and negative clips to your battery.
• Always connect the battery clips to the battery rst, before
connecting to the solar panel. The solar controller will then
illuminate.
DISCONNECTING & STORING YOUR SOLAR PANEL
• Disconnect the solar panel off the battery before removing the
battery clips off the battery.
• Roll the wire neatly into the space behind the solar panel,
Make sure not to twist or kink the wiring in an unnatural way.
• Place the battery wire seperately in the front pocket of the
carry bag.
Note: Never store your solar panel with the battery wire
connected to the panel.
TIP
• For optimal performance through-out the day, set the panel to approximately 30° from the ground.
The range between 10° and 40° will gain the best power absorption across the course of the day.

CONNECTING TO A LOAD
• Connect the solar panels (+) positive and (-) negative terminals to a Load's corresponding terminals. If the
Load is receiving electricity, the Load Indicator Light will turn on.
Note: Make sure the load does not exceed the PWM Controller's rated output.

Usage Recommendations
• As the controller generates heat during operation, install in an environment with good ventilation and
ample clearance.
• The controller measures the ambient temperature and adjusts battery charging accordingly, for this
reason, place the controller and battery close to each other.
• Always use cables that are rated to or higher than the current output of the controller, overloading wires
can result in res and damage to equipment.
• The controller has a common positive pole inside. If grounding is required, ground the positive pole.
