PS200/CH200 12 V Charging Regulators
3.5 Turn On the Charging Source
Turn on the power going to the charging source or uncover the solar panel.
The “CHG” LED should flash green approximately every 4 to 5 seconds if all
incoming connections are correct and there is an adequate charging voltage
present.
3.6 Turn On Power to the Datalogger
Flip the switch on the PS200/CH200 supply to “On”. Verify voltage to the
datalogger with a volt meter, or use a key pad display, or connect to the
datalogger with a laptop or PDA to make sure the datalogger is running
correctly.
3.7 LED Indicators
As previously mentioned, the PS200/CH200 has two LED indicators, the
