Pairing Two Solar Collectors:
Allows two 80-Watt Solar Collectors to be connected in parallel to increase charge rate. Verify
your Power Center or 12V auxiliary battery can accommodate these power ratings.
OPTION #1: Charging Accessory Power Centers
(Requires #9502 Chainable Connectors - 2-piece set sold separately)
1. Set up both SOLAR COLLECTORS as outlined
previously. They should be close together
but not obstructing sunlight to each
other.
2. From each SOLAR COLLECTOR, select
a female MC4 POWER CABLE and
connect them to the #9502 CHAINABLE
CONNECTOR with 2 male ends.
3. Repeat with the remaining male MC4
POWER CABLES connecting them to the
CHAINABLE CONNECTOR with 2 female
ends.
4. Connect the SOLAR CHARGE CABLE
included with the Power Center to the
CHAINABLE CONNECTORS matching
male to female connectors. NOTE: Sierra
Wave Power Centers come with the Solar
Charge Cable. Other devices may not.
5. Connect the other end to any storage
device such as the Solar Link 240 Power
Center or other device.

OPTION #2: Charging 12V Batteries
(Requires a standard 24-36” SAE x SAE extension cable available at your local electronics
retailer)
1. Set up both SOLAR COLLECTORS as outlined previously. They should be close
together but not obstructing sunlight to each other.
2. Connect the SAE EXTENSION CABLE to the port labeled BATTERY on the CHARGE
CONTROLLER.
3. Connect the included BATTERY CLAMP to the SAE EXTENSION CABLE.
4. Securely attach the red (+) and black (-) BATTERY CLAMPS to the corresponding 12V
battery matching terminal posts.
DANGER: Use caution when connecting the battery clamps to the terminal posts. Do
not cross connect. The Charge Controller must be used for this operation. Risk of fire,
