Determining the Correct System:
To determine if IQUPS Power system will meet your solar
power requirements, first choose what DC voltage your system will operate on,
then calculate the Total Equipment Load in Amp-hours per Day. Next, looking at
the map of the U.S., determine your Solar Resource. Then, using the selection
matrix on the page, choose the appropriate system.
We offer design assistance on hourly basis minimum 3
hours contact you sales rep.
This information applies to all systems :
Allow the system to charge its batteries four to seven days of full
sunlight before switching on the Inverter for first time or after a long period
of storage. Very Important!

Customers have poured concrete boxes into the ground and then placed a OkSolar
Box inside the concrete box. Air ventilation provisions and drain system on the
bottom (to be addressed by the installer according to the particular
application) are recommended for these types of installations.
Foundation in Figure is given as only a general guide. The contractor has the
responsibility to determine the dimensions and type of foundation demanded by
the soil conditions at the installation site.
If you are burying them to keep the batteries cool then you won't need the
insulation. However, if they are burying them to keep them from view then I
would suggest using the insulation.

After Towing, Secure TSPDC3.5 Trailer by:
a.
Install Trailer Double Locking Jack Stands.
b.
Position the 2 Tires Stoppers.
c.
Position the 2 cones.
2.
Switch ON the Solar Array.
a.
Switch ON PV DC Breakers.
b.
Switch ON Battery Bank.
c.
Unit will start charging independently of the
solar array’s position.
d.
Allow the system to charge its batteries four to seven days of full
sunlight before switching on the Inverter for first time or after a long period
of storage. Very Important!
3.
To maximize the Solar Array output by position the solar array in an
angle.
a.
Unlock the solar array by removing the leg pins on
the top and side facets (four pins total).
b.
Switch ON the Actuator.
c.
Use Pendant Up-Down to adjust inclination of the
solar array. Warning: never raise the actuator when the pins are in place on the
top facet of the array. Doing so will result in damaging the panels and
actuator.
d.
For long stationary periods or in windy
conditions, use the locking pins to secure the solar array on the top facet. Use
the actuator to lift the panels to position and insert the pins in each leg,
then lower the actuator so that the weight is supported by the locking pins.
4.
Switch on Inverter AC
a.
ON AC Breakers internals and externals.
b.
Connect AC Loads.
Important Safety Instructions READ AND SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS!
This manual contains important safety instructions for the TSPDC Transportable.
Read all instructions and cautionary markings on the TSPDC Transportable and on
any accessories or additional equipment included in the installation. Failure to
adhere to these instructions could result in severe shock or possible
electrocution. Exercise extreme caution at all times to prevent accidents.
Solar Array: we recommend fold solar array down in winds over 75mph.
Batteries initial: Allow the
system to charge batteries 4-7 days of full sun before Staring the Inverter.
Grounding: System grounding is the responsibility of the operator or installer.
Grounding requirements may vary by location and or Country depending on the
local electric code.
Note: OkSolar.com/GeneralCommunications.com Corp. cannot be responsible for
system failure, damages, or injury resulting from improper installation or
operation of their products.

Area Lighting Poles
All OkSolar poles are designed for ground mounting. Local soil conditions
determine the type of foundation required for each pole.
To select a pole, first add the weights and EPA's of the
mounting brackets and luminaires to get the combined load per pole. The wind
speed is determined by local conditions. The mounting height can be determined
by the luminarie manufacturer's specifications. Choose the wind speed category,
then the column that exceeds the combined load in weight. Move down the column
to the desired weight, then to the first pole that exceeds the combined load
EPA. This should be your best value. Remember the pole capacity must exceed the
combined load in both weight and EPA.
The pole capacity chart has been calculated with mounting
at ground level and 1.3 gust factor included. No provisions have been made for
banners, pendants, signs, flags, overhead wiring or other items that might be
fastened to the pole.
Local soil conditions determine the type of foundation
required for each pole. foundation in Figure is given as only a general guide.
The contractor has the responsibility to determine the dimensions and type of
foundation demanded by the soil conditions at the installation site.
The capacities shown are based on a 24" off center load. This is usually the
most conservative configuration. We have extensive charts for other wind, weight
and luminaire mountings. If we know your application, we can provide you with
the most economical pole.

Lighting information:
A lumen (lm) is the unit of measurement for the amount of light
emitted by a light source. A 60-watt light bulb emits 730 lm,
while a 50-watt halogen lamp has an output of approximately 900
lm.

Electronics LOW Pressure Ballast
For the Ballast to Correctly Start the Lamp, the Lamp must be positioned within
one inch of a grounded metal Surface. Lamp Requeire about 10-16 minutes to reach
maximun output
Ballast
Testing Low Pressure Ballast: here are a couple things to consider when testing
the ballast without the lamp.
-The ballast should still draw a little current from the input voltage source
even without the lamp. The 12 VDC model will draw about 0.35 A and the 24 VDC
model about 0.20 A.
-The output voltage can also be checked but you must have a high voltage and
high frequency meter. If not, your meter could be damaged. The output voltage of
the 12 V model is about 360 Vrms @ 45 kHz. The 24 V ballast will be about 500
Vrms @ 35 kHz.
-If the ballast fails, it generally should not cause damage to the lamp.Wiring
