PS200/CH200 12 V Charging Regulators
3.1.1 Solar Panel
To prevent sparking while wiring up the solar panel,
either lay the solar panel face down on its packing box
or cover it with something fairly opaque to block the
sunlight while wiring up the panel. WARNING
Connect the BLACK (negative) lead from the solar panel to the terminal block
marked “G” that is directly adjacent to the “SOLAR” terminal block. Connect
the RED (positive) lead from an unregulated solar panel to the terminal block
marked “SOLAR”. See FIGURE 3-4.

3.1.2 AC/DC Power
Double check the input voltages coming in to the charger/regulator with a volt
meter.
AC Input Voltage: 14 to 24 VAC RMS
DC Input Voltage: 15 to 40 VDC
Exceeding the voltages listed above will damage the
power supply. WARNING
Disconnect the primary side of the AC/DC power before connecting wires to
the PS200.
Connect the secondary power supply leads to the two terminal blocks marked
“CHG”. There is no polarity on the “CHG” terminal blocks, so it does not
matter which wire goes to which “CHG” terminal block, but make sure there is
only ONE wire per block. See FIGURE 3-5.
