2 2 3 WARNING To ensure that you use the system correctly and safely, please read the following warnings carefully. Do not place the main unit in rainy, humid or similar conditions. Do not expose the system to explosive or flammable conditions. Please contact your retailer for advice on using non-original electrical devices. The battery must be fully charged before using the Andes for the first time. Remove the fuse if the solar module has been disconnected from the main unit for more than 1 months. Otherwise, the amount of electric energy will decrease, and the Andes may not work properly. Do not disassemble the main system unit; this could cause partial system failure or damage the system. This is a DC system. Using non-original power for charging purposes is not allowed. Reduce the USB load to minimize the interference when you are playing radio. The system output would be automatically shut down when the battery is over-discharge. Keep the system clean and well ventilated. Do not cover or jam the main unit in any way. Consistently overcast and rainy weather will result in an insufficient amount of system power. In this case, please reduce the load or reduce the electricity load time.

3 INTRODUCTION 2.0 Functions 4.0 Specifications (including optional parts) Andes Solar Home System (SHS) is an off-grid solar system. The system consists of PV module, controller, battery and LED lamps. It transforms sunlight into DC electricity and stores energy into the battery. The battery can be used for LED lamp or other small DC devices. The system is designed for rural areas where no grid exists and can also be adapted to emergency, camping, RV and other outdoor activities. > Lighting function > USB power for small DC devices > Built-in digital AM / FM radio (optional) Rated 12V Output: 12 V / 2.5 A Rated USB Output: 5 V / 2 A, 5 V / 1 A Solar Module: DC 17.5 V 20 Wp / 30 Wp / 50 Wp Battery: DC 12 V 18 Ah / 24 Ah / 33 Ah Lamp: DC 12 V 3 W Radio: Digital AM / FM radio (Optional) Operating Condition: 0~45, 0~85% Site Altitude: < 1000 m IP Grade: Indoor use, IP 20 Dimensions (L*W*H) (mm): Main unit 483*338*321 Net Weight (kg): CSFDC A1, 12.6 kg; CSFDC A1, CSFDC A kg; CSFDC A1, CSFDC A kg Controller Load Solar Module 5.0 Installation and operation Battery 3.0 System COMPONENTS Solar module Main unit LED lamp & cable Support Rack (Optional) Step 1 Install fuse Step 2 (Support rack optional) Install the support rack to PV module and adjust the angle to make the PV module toward the sun Step 3 Connect the PV cable to the PV socket and lock the connector 1PCS 1PCS 2 PCS 1 PCS Step 4 Check battery capacity Step5-1 Lighting the lamp Step5-2 Power the USB devices Press the button to check battery capacity Connect the lamps to 12 V DC socket and turn on the switch on the lamp cable Connect the USB cable to USB socket *Short press to check the capacity of battery before power the USB devices

4 main unit introduction 7.0 Warranties The system comes with a one-year limited warranty. The PV modules come with a ten-year warranty for 90 % of the minimum rated power output. The warranty shall be effective from the date of installation or 90 (ninety) days after delivery by Canadian Solar, whichever comes first. The limited warranties do not cover normal wear and tear, misuse or damage as a result of abusing, altering, improperly installing or using the system, unauthorized servicing, modifying, storing, or transporting of the system, or damage caused by power failures, natural disasters or other events that lie beyond Canadian Solar s control.
