Safety Information Labels

Your safety and the safety of others is very important.

Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill you or

hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and the word

“DANGER”, “WARNING”, or “CAUTION”. These words are dened as:

DANGER Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or

serious injury.

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or

serious injury.

CAUTION Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or

moderate injury.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, how to reduce the chance of injury, and

what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

WARNING

IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important safety instructions that must be followed during the installation and

operation of this product. Read all instructions and safety information contained in this manual.

Exercise caution when handling or operating equipment. Live power may be present.

First Aid Measures

EYE CONTACT: Immediately ush eyes with copious amount of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek

immediate medical attention.

SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing and ush affected areas with plenty of water for at

least 15 minutes. Wash skin with soap and water. If skin irritation persists, call for medical attention.

INHALATION: Move to fresh air and seek immediate medical attention. Obtain medical advice.

Fire Hazard

Fire Types

Class A ﬁre - Fires in ordinary combustibles such as wood, paper, cloth, trash, and plastics.

Class B ﬁre - Fires in ammable liquids such as gasoline, petroleum, oil, and paint.

Class C ﬁre - Fires involving energized electrical equipment such as motors, transformers, and

appliances. Remove the power source and the class C re becomes a class A or B re.

Recommended Fire Extinguisher

Fire Extinguisher, Carbon Dioxide, 10 lb

Carbon Dioxide is a liqueed gas, which is highly effective for ghting class B and C res. These

extinguishers are ideal for areas where contamination and/or cleanup are a concern, such as data

processing centers, labs, and telecommunication rooms.

WARNING

Only CO2(Carbon Dioxide) re extinguishers should

be used with Solar Stik equipment.

Using the Fire Extinguisher

When using the extinguisher on a re, remember PASS:

Pull the pin.

Aim the nozzle or hose at the base of the re from a safe distance.

Squeeze the operating lever to discharge the re extinguishing agent.

Sweep the nozzle or hose from side to side until the re is out. Move forward or around the re as

the re diminishes.

Watch the area for reignition until the cause has been xed.

Large ﬁres: Use large quantities of water to extinguish surrounding re and prevent further

propagation. If water is used on batteries in operation, caution should be taken to avoid the electrical

hazard that may be present.

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Fireghters should wear self-contained breathing

apparatus. Use approved / certied vapor respirator to avoid breathing toxic fumes. Wear protective

clothing and equipment to prevent potential body contact with electrolyte solution. It is permissible to

use any class of extinguishing medium, specied above, on these batteries or their packing material.

Cool exterior of batteries if exposed to re to prevent rupture.

PARTICULAR HAZARDS RESULTING FROM EXPOSURE TO THE SUBSTANCE/PREPARATION,

TO COMBUSTION AND GAS PRODUCTS: The cell can spout vaporized or decomposed electrolyte

fumes with re when heated over +100°C (+212°F) or disposed of in re. Solvents within the

electrolyte are ammable liquids and must be kept away from any kind of ignition source.

Risk of irritation occurs only if the cell is mechanically, thermally, or electrically abused to the point of

compromising the integrity of the enclosure. If this occurs, irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory

tract may occur.

Operator Manual for PGA Tour Power Module & Solar Skirt

Environmental and Handling Precautions

All Solar Stik components are ruggedized, yet there are a few things the operator can do to prevent

failures and prolong the operational life of the product.

Water

If outdoor operation is necessary, the lids

of all components should be closed and

latched whenever possible. Lids should only

be open to access operator controls and

closed at all other times.

Impact

Equipment should not be dropped onto hard

surfaces at a height greater than one foot

when transporting or during operation.

Dust

• Air intake lters should be cleaned once per

month, or more frequently when conditions

warrant.

• As a general rule, minimize exposure to

high levels of particulates by exercising

common-sense placement.

Heat

Heat and solar loading reduce efciency,

cause Power Module derating, and shorten

life expectancy. Shade the Power Module to

prevent the negative effects of heat.

Operator Manual for PGA Tour Power Module & Solar Skirt

GENERAL INFORMATION, EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION,

AND THEORY OF OPERATION

Introduction

The 24VDC PGA Power Module (Figure 1) and Solar Skirt combine power management and energy

storage into a single, rugged, portable, and expandable power system for PGA applications.

The Power Module accepts power from DC generation sources including renewables and vehicles, and

is universally compatible with single phase AC inputs (90-260 VAC) allowing connection to any generator

or worldwide grid AC power source.

While designed as a fully-autonomous power system, the System offers unique capabilities that allows

exibility for the operator.

Figure 1. 24VDC PGA Power Module

Power Module Features:

• Provides power for PGA golf course operational loads

• 60 Ah (1.4 kWh) of energy storage capacity providing

long periods of autonomous operation

• Lithium iron phosphate battery cell chemistry

This manual is crafted to provide the user with a comprehensive understanding of the principles

of operation, proper setup and use, operational tips, and safety procedures for the Power Module.

Successful operation and maintenance depends on a complete understanding of how the Power

Module works, and how to effectively integrate the Power Module into a given situation. Please read

this manual thoroughly before operating the Power Module.

Adherence to operation and safety protocols will yield optimal performance from the Power Module for
