SpinTech 12 Volt Solar Panel Assembly & Installation

Follow these step-by-step instructions to properly install your SpinTech 12 Volt Solar Panel to ensure optimal charging and performance.

1. Install the Angled Bracket (Top of Panel)

• Using the smaller screws, attach the small angled bracket to the top of the solar panel.
• Ensure the point of the angle is facing the back side of the solar panel.

💡 Identifying the Top of the Panel:
The pre-drilled mounting holes at the top are centered, while the bottom holes are positioned closer to the back of the panel. 

2. Install the Hinged Bracket (Bottom of Panel)

• Use the remaining small screws to attach the hinged bracket to the bottom of the solar panel.
• The rounded hinge should protrude away from the panel.

3. Run the Wiring Harness to the Feeder Battery

• Route the solar panel wiring harness to the battery compartment of your feeder unit.

✅ For SpinTech 12V Feeders:

• Locate the pre-laser serrated hole on the back of the control unit (opposite the SpinTech sticker).
• Pop out this hole to feed the solar panel wiring harness inside.

4. Mount the Solar Panel to Your Feeder

4.1 For SpinTech 12V Feeders:

Your control unit has pre-pressed divots for easy mounting:

1️⃣ Top Mounting Points:

• Just above the hole from Step 3, use the larger screws to secure the angled bracket at the top of the solar panel.

2️⃣ Bottom Mounting Points:

• Near the bottom rear of the control unit, use the other large screws to secure the hinged bracket.
• The solar panel will naturally align into the optimal position.

4.2 For Non-SpinTech Feeders:

• Use the large self-tapping screws to mount the solar panel to the side of your hopper or another suitable location.
• Placement is flexible based on your feeder setup.

5. Connect the Solar Panel to the Battery

• Attach the solar panel clips to the battery terminals.
• If piggybacking wires onto the battery, ensure the solar panel connects first before other wiring.

🔹 Wire Color Guide:

• Brown = Positive (Red)
• Blue = Negative (Black)
