The system consists of a ground-mounted cabinet, housing a battery bank and charge controllers, and separate pole-mounted solar panels. Contact Carmanah for more details, including a Solar Power ReportTM and system sizing for local conditions. Solar Cabinet Control Panel Solar powered systems deployed in the northern latitudes of the United States will require a larger solar array with four grid tie panels to power the WW400D.

The system is comprised of the following components: · The solar power kit consisting of a separate battery cabinet and solar panels is available to power the WW400D. · Solar Panel Characteristics Solar panel specifications may vary depending on project requirements and availability. Please refer to supplied data sheets or contact Carmanah for additional information. · Battery Characteristics The system has a series-parallel battery bank wired to output 24V to power the WWD system. · Low Voltage Disconnect In the unlikely event that the batteries reach a state of low charge, an automatic disconnect has been wired into the system to prevent over-discharge of the batteries.

The system is supplied with 36ft long harnesses for connecting the solar panels to the cabinet and for connecting the solar cabinet to the controller cabinet, so the components should be located close enough to each other for the harnesses to reach. Solar panels should have an unobstructed view of the sun. Contact Carmanah if the site layout requires longer cable runs. If no conduit was provided to route harnesses through the concrete pad, drill suitable entry point(s) in enclosure and install appropriate hardware to provide secure and weatherproof cable entry and exit point(s). Failure to follow following directions may result in severe injuries. Batteries can generate hazardous electrical currents. Use adequate PPE and ensure battery terminal are never shorted to one another. Ensure all breakers are off before installing or servicing batteries. The battery negative terminal connection to the breaker panel must always be connected last and disconnected first. Never leave the output and solar panel breakers on at the same time if the battery breaker is off to avoid damaging the controller. Follow applicable local guidelines and regulations when laying out and installing the system components. Ferrules should be used on all screw terminals connections. New ferrules should be installed on all stranded wires if they are shortened. The cabinet is 40" wide by 26" deep and is mounted using four bolts laid out in a 30"x18" pattern. A grounding lug capable of accepting up to 4AWG grounding wire is pre-installed in the lower left corner near the door.

Place batteries on provided shelves as shown with the positive terminal end of the battery facing out on the bottom shelf and the negative terminal end facing out on the top shelf. 2. Connect batteries on each shelf in parallel with each other using provided jumpers. 3. Install provided jumper between lower shelf right battery negative terminal and upper shelf right battery positive terminal to create series connection. 4. Connect red wire to lower left battery positive (near) terminal. 5. Connect black wire to upper left battery negative (near) terminal. - 3 5 2 1 4 + 2 1 Carmanah Technologies Corp. | 250 Bay St, Victoria, BC V9A 3K5, Canada | 1.250.380.0052 | customersupport@carmanah.com | carmanah.com 6 SOLAR INSTALL GUIDE LEVEL 3 1.5 Solar Panel Installation Prepare post according to solar panel mount instructions and follow instructions to install solar panels onto pole. Ensure solar panels are facing the equator (pointing South in the Northern hemisphere). Connect provided harnesses to breaker panel inside enclosure and route harness to solar panels. Connect harnesses as shown on label. Strain relieve cables to back plate using provided "dog-bone" features. Connect MC4 connectors to solar panels only after making breaker panel connections. 1.6 Controller Cabinet Connections Route provided harness between the solar cabinet and the controller cabinets. Connect the three wires as shown on the labels and strain-relieve the jacket.
