USER GUIDE RLH Industries, Inc. The leader in rugged fiber optic technology. U-81 14B-63 RLH 15 Watt V Solar Power Supply COMPLETE SOLAR POWER SYSTEM WITH 75AH BACKUP Introduction The RLH 15W solar power supply is a fully integrated solution that provides remote powering for industrial equipment. RLH solar power supplies are engineered with durable and highly efficient photovoltaic panels to ensure reliable operation in any geographical region. 15W V Solar Power Supply w/75ah Pack The solar panel mounting bracket is designed for ease of installation. The bracket is attached to the panel with tamper resistant hardware. The charge controller continuously maintains the correct V charge level on the 75Ah battery pack, and ensures a seamless power transition to battery power when needed. The charge controller allows maximum panel current to flow into the battery, optimizing the charging current for the battery condition. The heavy duty, sealed lead-acid style battery is maintenance free and is field replaceable. The battery pack is pre-wired, and includes screw-down terminals on the charge controller for easy connection to industrial equipment. An inline fuse protects the system. The battery, charge controller, and related equipment are contained in an outdoor rated, fiberglass cabinet. The battery pack may be wall or pole mounted, and includes mounting hardware. Features Complete solar power system with panels, charge controller and sealed battery in a compact battery pack Recommended max load up to 425mA (5 day minimum backup) pack may be wall mounted, and includes a padlock hasp Includes fuse holder and screw down connection terminals Solar panel includes flexible mounting hardware for easy mounting onto poles or structures Sealed V 75Ah battery pack, field replaceable Charge controller maintains batteries in optimum condition!

Installation Plan the installation of the battery pack and solar panel array prior to installation. For best results, mount the battery pack in a cabinet as close to the panels as practicable. Mount the cabinet and Install and connect the batteries before connecting the solar panels. Refer to the wiring diagram. Mount the solar panel assembly in an appropriate South facing (in the Northern hemisphere) location. The location should be free of shadow between the hours of 9:am and 3:pm For maximum power generation the solar panels must have the proper tilt angle for the latitude of installation. Refer to the latitudinal chart to determine the proper amount of tilt for your location. Note that all figures refer to angle from horizontal. Solar panels face South Recommended Solar Panel Tilt Angle (From horizontal) 9 75 6 45 Mercator Projection 3 Mount the solar assembly to a wall or a 4 diameter pole or larger using either the hardware or straps. Adjust the angle of the solar panel with the arms of the bracket for optimum sun angle, and tighten all bolts securely after making adjustments. The panel wiring is connected directly to the solar battery charge controller inside the battery cabinet. A section of wiring and liquid tight conduit is provided for ease of installation. Refer to the connection diagram.! RLH Industries, Inc. Tel. 866-DO-FIBER Fax 714 532-1885 www.fiberopticlink.com! Page 3
