None of my loads appear to be powered and the screen on my battery monitor
has turned off?
All loads, including any battery monitor in use with the J35 will power down if the
J35 was put into Storage Mode. The J35 will be put into Storage Mode if:
1. The user activated the switch connected to the J35 Load Isolation input. This
turns off power to all caravan loads and accessories connected to the J35
CAN bus such as your battery monitor.
Check that the switch has not been activated.
2. The J35 has entered Storage Mode and to conserve remaining battery voltage
will disable power to all caravan loads and accessories connected to the J35
CAN bus.
Connect the J35 to a power source and begin battery charging.
Solar Output Appears to be Lower than Expected
If the battery is close to fully charged, the J35 will periodically turn off solar to
protect the batteries from overcharging. As a result, you may see less output on
your solar display.
The following tips will also make sure you are getting the most of your solar set-
up:
1. Make sure your solar panels are clean
For optimal performance of your solar panels, regularly clean them (when
cool) with warm, soapy water.
2. Consider the location of your caravan/RV
A shadow (for example from trees, buildings and even other accessories on
the roof of your caravan) across any part of the solar panel can reduce the
panel performance by up to 80%.
3. The time of day and time of year is important as well.
In some parts of the year (especially is southern parts of Australia) the sun will
never be directly overhead, so your solar output will be reduced-sometimes by
up to 50%.
