PSB150 Intended use
4 Intended use
The portable solar blanket is a mobile power supply with a solar charge controller for charging a 12 Vg battery.
5 Technical description
The portable solar blanket consists of lightweight solar cells with anti-reflective, scratch-resistant ETFE coating. The solar charge controller stored in a bag of the blan­ket can be used to charge a 12 Vg battery.
The solar charge controller ensures that the power supplied by the solar blanket is at the right voltage to charge a home or auxiliary battery. The solar charge controller is an intelligent 5 stage PWM solar controller.
Solar charge controller
The solar charge controller has the following functions:
PWM controlled
Five stage charging (Soft, Bulk, Absorption, Equalization, Float)
Battery types selectable: LiFePO4, LTO, GEL, AGM, WET or CALCIUM
LCD display dynamically displaying operating data and working condition
Additional protective functions of the solar charge controller:
Incorrect polarity protections for battery
Over voltage protection for battery
Over heating protection for battery
Battery over-discharge protection
Under charge protection for battery
Over charge protection for battery
Short circuit protection
Prevents discharge at night under low light or no light condition
Battery temperature sensor
The battery temperature sensor allows the solar charge controller to continuously adjust charge voltage based on measured battery temperature. Temperature com­pensation of charge voltage assures that the battery receives the proper charge volt­age as battery temperature changes during normal operation.

6.1 Positioning the solar blanket
Eyelets on four corners and sides of the portable solar kit provide different mounting options. This solar blanket can be mounted on a vehicle, caravan or tent to provide shade and provide power generation as well. It is recommended to place the solar blanket north at 20 to 40 degree, which can provide the maximum power no matter at any season.
Make sure that the solar blanket is always clean and dry (chapter “Main­taining and cleaning the product” on page 17).
Locate a clear area free from over hanging branches or obstructions.
Remove the solar blanket from the carry bag.
Lay the solar blanket on the mounting location. Fix the solar blanket at the eyelets.

Connecting diagram
Always observe the following connection sequence. Overvoltage can damage the electronics of the device. – Connecting the solar blanket: First, connect the Alligator
clips to the battery, then connect the Anderson connections to the solar blanket.
Disconnecting the solar blanket: Disconnect the Anderson
connections from the solar blanket first, finally disconnect the Alligator clips from the battery.
Ensure that the battery clamps do not get in contact with each other.
Only use the cable with Anderson plug and alligator clips supplied.
Make sure that the polarity is correct.
Make sure that the connection is tight and secure.

6.3 Operating the solar blanket
Setting the battery type
CAUTION!
!
The solar charge controller provides six battery types for selections: LiFePO4, LTO, Gel, AGM, WET (conventional lead acid) and Calcium. The default setting is AGM.
Press the BATTERY TYPE button for 3 seconds to enter the battery type selec-
tion mode.
The battery type is shown on the LCD display.
Press the BATTERY TYPE until the correct battery type is selected.
Monitoring the charging stages
You also can visually monitor your battery charging condition via a battery bar on the top of display. If the battery is charging, the battery bar will be flashing. If the battery is fully charged, the battery bar will turn on.
An incorrect battery type setting may damage your battery. Check your battery manufacturer’s specifications to select the correct battery type.
Level 4
Level 3
Level 5
Level 2
Level 1
The unit has a 5-stage charging algorithm.
Soft Charge (1): When batteries had an over-discharge, the controller will softly ramp the battery voltage up to 10 V.
Bulk Charge (2): Maximum current charging until battery rises to Absorption charge.
Absorption Charge (3): Constant voltage charging until battery is over 85%.
14
PSB150 Using the solar blanket
Equalization Charge (4): Only for WET battery or CALCIUM battery type. When the battery is deeply
drained below 10 V, it will automatically run this stage to bring the internal cells as an equal state and fully complement the loss of capacity.
Float Charge (5): Battery is fully charged and maintained at a safe level.
A fully charged lead acid battery (GEL, AGM, WET battery) has a voltage of more than 13.6 V. A fully charged LiFePO4 or LTO battery has a voltage of 13.4 V.
The CHARGING STATUS LEDs and BATTERY CONDITION LEDs indicate the charg­ing stage:
