WARNING! Electrocution hazard
The device may not be used if the equip-
ment or the connection cable is visibly
damaged.
If the power cable is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, a service
agent or a similarly qualified person in
order to prevent safety hazards.

Choosing a location

• Choose a sunny location, avoid shade. For the
MT SM 120 TL both halves of the module work
individually. For optimal performance, place the
whole solar module in direct sunlight.
• Choose a location with a flat surface. The solar
module can be bent maximum 3% (see fig. 2,
page 3 ).
• Choose a location where there is no risk of step-
ping on the solar module. Even if the surface is
flat and solid, stepping on the module must be
avoided.
• Choose a location where the cable can be con-
nected to the vehicle socket without risk of trip-
ping on the cable.

5. Connect the solar regulator cable to a DC
power outlet of the vehicle, either in a 12 V
standard socket or in a cigarette lighter socket.
– Use the standard socket to charge the house
battery.
– Use the cigarette lighter socket to charge the
starter battery.

NOTE
In the cigarette lighter socket, it may only
be possible to charge the battery when
the ignition is on, depending on the vehi-
cle.
6. Fasten the solar module in a sunny place, one
of the following ways:
– Place the solar module on the ground or other
flat surface. Fasten with the eyelets if needed
(see fig. 1, page 3).
– Suspend the solar module vertically. Fasten
the module with the eyelets securely so that it
cannot fall down.
– Use the built-in magnets in the textile frame to
fasten the solar module on a magnetic area.
