2. Connect the battery. Connect the battery to the charge regulator in the middle section
labeled “BATTERY” by running cables from the positive and negative terminals of the
battery (be careful with the polarity: + with +, − with −). The operating manual suggests
connecting the negative terminal first, followed by the positive one. Take care not to
cross the wires to avoid electrical shock. Once positive and negative wires are attached to
the battery they become live and full of electricity.
3. Route solar panel cables to the enclosure. Route the cables coming from the solar panel
along the tower and secure them with plastic ties. Continue routing the cables up the
tower and into the enclosure.
4. Cut the wires. In order to connect the solar panel to the charge regulator, the cables from
the panel must be cut, so the wires are exposed, leaving a small portion at the end of the
wire bare.
5. Connect the solar panel. Attach the cables that were cut in the previous step to the left
hand side of the power regulator in the section labeled “SOLAR.” The negative lead
should be attached first and then the positive one (remember to check the polarity: + goes
with +, - with -).
6. Connect the data logger. Attach two cables to the “LOAD” section of the charge
regulator and connect them to the data logger. As with the other two connections, start
with the negative terminal first (attach to the “G” slot on the data logger) and then
connect the positive terminals (“+12V” on the data logger). You might consider using a
splitter and connect the cables coming from the solar panel into the splitter instead.
