Solar Rescue Charger - Quick Start Guide

1. Gather Required Materials:
   • Solar Rescue Charger.
   • A compatible portable battery system (see Table 2 for compatibility).
   • A charger is included with the portable battery system.
2. Prepare the Portable Battery:
   • Fully charge the portable battery using its included charger.
3. Transport to the Site:
   • Bring the fully charged portable battery and Solar Rescue Charger to the location of the depleted Solar Power Kit.
4. Disconnect the Instrumentation:
   • Disconnect the instrumentation from the depleted Solar Power Kit. (Refer to Table 3 for compatible Solar Power Kits.)
5. Connect the Portable Battery:
   • Attach the portable battery to the instrumentation to provide temporary power.
6. Charge the Solar Power Kit:
   • Connect the Solar Rescue Charger to the Solar Power Kit and an AC power source. Several options are available:
     • Gas Generator: Bring a gas generator to the site with enough fuel for several hours of operation.
     • Grid Power: Use temporary extension cords to connect the charger to grid power.
     • Vehicle Inverter: Utilize a vehicle inverter for charging, but account for several hours of charging time.
     • Relocation: If feasible, move the Solar Power Kit to a location with grid power available. This is more practical for portable kits such as the Ultra Powermate.

1. Reconnect the Fully Charged Solar Power Kit:
   • After the Solar Power Kit is fully charged, disconnect the portable battery and reconnect the kit to the instrumentation.
2. Monitor and Plan for Solar Output:
   • If the daily average solar output is less than the daily power consumption, this procedure may need to be repeated during periods of minimal sunlight. To reduce the frequency of this process:
     • Expand the solar array.
     • Reposition or relocate the solar array to maximize sunlight exposure.
     • Ensure maximum solar energy capture by activating the solar panels as soon as sunlight becomes available, extending the duration of energy collection throughout the day.
