Operating instructions
Amorphous thin film solar module
Item no. 1780538 (4W, 12V)
Item no. 1780812 (6W, 12V)
Intended use
This polycrystalline solar module converts the radiant energy contained in light (usually sunlight) into
electrical energy. The product is especially suitable for charging batteries. To connect the product to a
battery, a cable with terminal posts and a cable with car adaptor are included.
For safety and approval purposes, you must not rebuild and/or modify this product. If you use the product
for purposes other than those described above, the product may be damaged. In addition, improper use can
cause hazards such as short circuiting, fire, electric shock etc. Read the instructions carefully and keep them.
Make this product available to third parties only together with its operating instructions.
This product complies with the statutory national and European requirements. All company names and

Explanation of symbols
The lightning symbol inside a triangle is used when there is a potential risk of personal injury,
such as electric shock.
An exclamation mark in a triangle indicates important instructions in this operating manual that
absolutely have to be observed.
The arrow symbol indicates specific tips and advice on operation.
Safety instructions
Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety information.
If you do not follow the safety instructions and information on proper handling in this
manual, we assume no liability for any resulting personal injury or damage to property.
Such cases will invalidate the warranty/guarantee.
• The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. This may become dangerous playing
material for children.
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high humidity,
moisture, flammable gases, vapours and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and protect it
from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage
the product.
• Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices which are connected
to the product.
• The solar panel generates power as soon as it is exposed to light. A single module generates
power below the so-called low voltage barrier. However, multiple modules in parallel
(summation of currents) or series connection (summation of voltages) represent a potential
risk. However, always consider the following notes to avoid electrical shock, spark formation
and fire:
- Solar panel(s) or the cables connected to it/them must never be installed with damp or wet
plugs or sockets.
- Never touch the connection leads or connection terminals with wet or damp hands.
- Never use damaged solar panels; never dismantle solar panels. Do not remove type labels
attached by the manufacturer.
- Ensure that there is a dry environment during installation and connection.
• The solar module's performance can vary depending on weather conditions. Keep this in mind
when operating a device with this product.
• Always ensure correct polarity when connecting a battery.
• Avoid direct contact with the surface. The surface is sensitive and can be easily scratched or
destroyed through contamination.
• Solar modules may only be used in a temperate climate. The solar module is a device
which is not secured against explosions. Thus, it may not be installed in the vicinity of highly
inflammable gases and vapours.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connection of the device.
• Maintenance, modifications and repairs are to be performed exclusively by an expert or at a
qualified shop.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions, contact our
technical support service or other technical personnel.
Operation
1. Position the solar module in a sunny spot. To achieve optimal utilization of the solar module, we
recommend you obtain more information on suitable positioning and the suitable tilting angle. Optimal
positioning (and thus an optimal utilization rate) is achieved when the sun rays fall perpendicularly onto
the solar module.
2. If you want to mount the solar module, it has to be securely fastened at a minimum of four points. The
frame is suitable for attachment on the broadsides. The required bore holes have to be drilled by the
user.
3. Ensure that no shadows are cast over it, caused by trees or buildings, for example.
4. Connect the solar module's connection jack to the required adaptor.
5. Connect the solar module to the battery:
- Connect the terminal posts to the terminals of the battery. Observe the correct polarity.
- Connect the car adaptor to the car socket.
6. After use, disconnect the solar module from the battery. Disconnect the adaptor from the solar module.
Care and cleaning
Regularly clean the solar module, as its performance would otherwise
decrease and the surface could be irreversibly damaged.
• Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions as they can cause
damage to the housing and malfunctioning.
• To clean the surface, use a soft, antistatic and dry brush.
• Do not immerse the product in water.
Disposal
Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be disposed of in the household waste. At
the end of its service life, dispose of the product according to the relevant statutory regulations.
You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the environment.
