3.5 Installation of Morningstar SunSaver™ SS-10-12V
Regulator
1. Using the supplied mounting hardware, install the Morningstar
SunSaver™ SS-10-12V regulator (pn 18529) to the mounting plate of an
environmental enclosure (see FIGURE 3-18).
2. If using deep cycle marine battery along with the SP50 or SP85 solar
panels, install Battery Terminal Strip Adapters (pn 4386) to each terminal
of the user-supplied deep cycle battery as shown in FIGURE 3-19.
3. Using the spade terminated ends of the supplied red and black power
cables, secure the black wire to terminal lug #1 marked battery (–) on the
regulator. Connect the pigtailed end of the black cable to the “charge”
terminal on the Battery Terminal Strip Adapter installed on the battery’s
negative terminal. Secure the red wire to terminal lug #2 marked battery
(+) on the regulator. Connect the pigtailed end of the red cable to the
“charge” terminal on the Battery Terminal Strip Adapter installed on the
battery’s positive terminal. With the battery connected and no solar panel
input, the green LED on the regulator marked “CHARGING” SHOULD
NOT be on.
