- To set to Normal Mode (Charging via the Solar Panels and running power to the Controller Box), turn on switches QF1, QF2, and QF3; keep QF4 in the off position.
- To set to AC Charging Mode (Charging via the AC cable, with the Controller Box off), turn on switches QF2, and QF4; keep QF1 in the off position.
Note: Make sure to turn the switches on in order from left to right. Also, do not constantly turn the switches on and off; it could cause damage to the circuit breakers.
Close the cover to the electrical box.
64. Setup is complete.
Optional: Charging Mode via Power Cable
Note: Charging via power cable should only be performed if there is little to no light available to charge via the solar panels. LumiGuardian will prioritize charging via only one power source (Solar Panel or Power Cable) based on whichever is inputting more wattage into the system. When there is enough light available, LumiGuardian will charge faster via solar panel.
1. Using a C13 power cable (not included) you can charge the LumiGuardian trailer via power from a wall plug.
2. Open the cover on the power port on the side of the electrical box.
3. Connect the power cable to the power port and then plug it into a wall socket or surge protector.
4. Use the small silver key from the lockbox to unlock the electrical box. Pull on the handle to open the electrical box. Then locate the power supply box.
5. Turn the AC Input switch to the On position.
6. Locate the power switches
7. Turn on switches QF2, and QF4; keep QF1 in the off position.
Note: Make sure to turn the switches on in order from left to right. Also, do not constantly turn the switches on and off; it could cause damage to the circuit breakers.
Close the cover to the electrical box.
