Calibrate Solar Panel
Use the TITAN Voltmeter to Recalibrate the TITAN Sun Hawk Solar Panel
Heavy jolts and vibration may mean that you need to recalibrate your Sun Hawk Solar Panel from time to time.
A special feature of Titan Sun Hawk is the adjustable charge control regulator, allowing you to easily recalibrate your solar panel.
Tools needed: 1. Small flat head screw driver 2 - Digital Voltmeter or a Multimeter
Step 1. To recalibrate your Sun Hawk gently pry off the white charge control regulator cover.
Take care not to dislodge the base of the regulator from the solar panel.
Step 2: Attach a TITAN Voltmeter to the Sun Hawk DC socket using a small flat head screw driver.
Using the small screw driver turn the brass screw on top of the potentiometer anti-clockwise to increase voltage charge.
Turn clockwise to decrease voltage charge.
(The potentiometer is the blue component with the brass screw on the top).
Replace the white regulator cover and you are ready to go.
Note: 1. Point the solar panel into the strongest sunlight available to obtain maximum readings on the Voltmeter.
Sun Hawks are set at optimum calibrated voltage 13.8V to recharge lead acid vehicle battery and TITAN Power Stations. Use lower voltage setting to recharge Lithium ion batteries as per their manufacturer guidelines.
Note: 2. Prior to fixing the white cover back in place you may wish to semi-permanently fix the calibration screw on the potentiometer to a set position with just a spot of silicone glue or candle wax.
