Solar Panel Connection

Solar power should (through a series voltage regulator) be connected

directly into the caravan battery circuit. See Figure 3 on page 9. The solar

power may be wired directly to the caravan battery, or to the caravan battery

connections on the Genius-II. Use whichever connection point is most

convenient from a wiring perspective.

Note: A solar panel voltage regulator with maximum output voltage not

exceeding 14.8 V must be used at all times. In some situations the led can

blink randomly, this is because the solar charger voltage is greater than the

charger voltage. This occurs only when the mains and the solar charger are

both present.

CAUTION

Solar panels should not be directly connected; a solar panel voltage

regulator must be ﬁtted between solar panels and the battery.

REMOTE LOAD-ISOLATOR SWITCH CONNECTION

The Genius-II allows for remote control of the load connections. A pair

of contacts are provided for connection to the external switch. When

this switch is closed, all loads are disconnected from all power. Battery

charging is not eﬀected by this switch. The switch current when closed

is less than 1 mA, so any convenient switch and wire size may be used.
