VI. WIRING TO THE BATTERY

In most cases, the recreational vehicle will be provided with a

12 VDC receptacle which is wired to the battery circuit,

usually a cigarette lighter. Insure that during storage, when all

12 volt loads have been shut off, that the manufacturer

supplied receptacle maintains a path to the battery.

If a receptacle is not provided, one can be obtained from

almost any auto supply or recreational vehicle supply retailer.

To protect against wire damage and fire, a fuse must be

provided in the receptacle wiring. Recommended

maximum fuse size is 5 amps, minimum fuse size is ½ amp.

This fuse protects the wiring between the battery and the

receptacle. (A ½ amp fuse is provided in the male plug on the

20’ connector cable assembly to protect wiring to the solar

panel.) Insure that the receptacle is covered or otherwise

protected against accidental insertion of any conductive

material during storage. Allowing a conductive material to

enter the receptacle would create a short circuit which would

result in a blown fuse.

Route wires to the battery so as to avoid chafing or pinching

and secure all wiring to avoid loose wires which might be

snagged during travel.

VII. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Airxcel, Inc. supplies custom engineered photovoltaic systems

using the highest quality components available. To enjoy the

maximum benefit from your solar maintenance system, please

take a few moments to read the important information in this

section.

The Problem

When not in use over a period of time, the house battery for a

motor home will naturally “self-discharge”. This is true even

when the battery disconnect switch is open, preventing any

power draw. Batteries allowed to self-discharge can result in

“sulfation”, a condition which results in permanent damage,

decreasing the effective life of the battery. It is not always

convenient to run power for battery maintenance to where a

motor home is stored, and it is even less convenient to remove

and relocate the battery each time the motor home will be

stored.

The Solution

Your solar electric maintenance system provides an ideal

method of keeping your battery maintained during storage.

All that is required to keep a full charge on the house battery is

for your RV to be stored where the solar panel is exposed to

direct sunlight. When kept properly charged, your house

battery will provide many years of trouble-free performance.

Operation

Your solar maintenance system will operate any time the solar

panel is exposed to sufficient sunlight and the connector cable

assembly has been connected between the ceiling assembly

and the battery receptacle. If your RV is equipped with a

battery disconnect switch, be certain that it is open (in the

“disconnect” position) while the motor home is stored. This

will insure that the solar maintenance can continue to charge

the house battery without a power draw from lights,

appliances, etc.

Your solar maintenance system cannot overcharge the battery.

To activate – first connect the 20’ connector plug into the

ceiling assembly and verify that the male 12V plug indicator

illuminates. Next, temporarily disconnect the plug and

connect the 12 VDC male plug into the battery cable

receptacle to verify by the lighted indicator on the plug, that

there is a good connection to the battery. After verifying the

connections, reconnect the ceiling assembly. The solar panel

will now automatically charge the battery during sunlight. A

blocking diode prevents battery “back feed” into the solar

panel at night.

How Your System Works

Solar electric generation (technically known as photovoltaic

power) is the technology of producing electricity directly from

sunlight. Your solar charging system is 100% “Solid State” –

meaning that there are absolutely no moving parts when solar

charging occurs.

This maintenance kit provides a single 5 watt solar panel

mounted on top of the Coleman®-Mach® air conditioner

shroud, located on the roof. This panel generates enough

power to maintain the charge on your house battery at its last

operated charge value only during storage, but is self-

regulating in power output to prevent overcharging the battery.

Your solar panel will operate even on cloudy days or with

partial shading, although the amount of charging power

generated will be reduced.

In total darkness, the solar panel and monitor will not

discharge the battery in any manner because of our special

circuit design.

Maintenance

Your solar panel is virtually maintenance free. Occasional

cleaning of the solar panel will assure optimum performance.

Simply use the same product used for cleaning your

windshield, avoiding harsh chemicals. During winter months,

accumulation of snow will reduce the effectiveness of the

panel and should be carefully brushed away. No other

maintenance is required.
