which case the CHARGE light should glow a steady green. If
the unit is not fully charged, leave the Solar-Breeze NX in the sun
for 5 minutes and check again. If the CHARGE light is still not
flashing, the battery is not fully charged and the unit will still not
operate when the switch is moved to the “ON” position, contact

FULL C HA RG E MO DE
When the green CHARGE light glows a steady green, this
indicates the battery is fully charged and cannot accept
additional charge from the solar panels. At this point, the
charging process will stop until the battery has been drawn down
to a level where it can accept additional current.
The steady green charge light can also occur after a day or two
of storage, with the switch OFF. This is NORMAL, and is used by
the microprocessor to drain the battery down to a slightly lower
voltage for long term storage of the battery. It will go out by
itself, after several days – this will prevent damage being done to
the battery by long term storage at higher voltages.
STATUS LIG HT (RED)
The red “Status” light will flash whenever the battery is low
(“Standby” Mode or “Hunt for Sun” Mode). This tells you why the
motors are not running, or why they are running intermittently (2
Minute ON and 8 Minutes OFF).
The red Status light burn a steady red and both motors will stop for
10 minutes if the front paddle-wheel becomes stuck by rubbish. It
will try restarting every 10 minutes.
The red Status light will burn a steady red with a once per second
flicker, if the rear paddle-wheel becomes stuck. But, in this case the
front paddle-wheel will keep skimming, and the rear paddle-wheel
will attempt restarting every 6 seconds.
