My Sae Pin Broke On Zamp Solar Panel

All zamp solar charge controllers except for our 8 amp charge controller have a large digital display that shows you the following information.

My sae pin broke on zamp solar panel.

If you have or want to use a goal zero solar panel with the email protected there are 2 new options available that will work with the zamp quick disconnect port on the email protected propane cover box. The furrion solar port is a rare two pin port not found on most solar panels. My taxa tigermoth adventure trailer has a so called zamp connection on the outside of it for wiring solar panels to charge the battery. The first is a new product that has a small panel and trickle charger built in.

They make proprietary solar panels that use this port. A larger solar power system was needed. So because of the polarity protection on our plugs zamp solar ports are only compatible with zamp solar sae plugs. Ideal for medium rvs or projects this panel generates 140 watts at 7 8 amps.

That means the positive pin on all of our sae plugs is set back and covered to prevent accidental contact that could damage your panel short your battery or give you a pretty nasty shock. Technically i had the space but mounting another panel on the roof would ve left me with zero room to walk on the roof to perform topside maintenance. Unfortunately my rig lacked the roof space needed to add another 100 watt solar panel. You can probably imagine why they would do this hint.

Either 1 remove and replace the cable from the controller to the clamps with one that goes from the controller to a 2 pin sae connector like the zamp port uses or 2 cut the ends off of the existing cable before the clamps and splice on a piece that has the 2 pin sae connector. Most solar panels nowadays come with mc4 connectors so what we need is an adapter that will turn these mc4 connectors into the 2 pin connector used by furrion. I use these for 12 volt power ports and have 3 port cigarette style socket to sae adapters or power pole to sae so i can plug 12 volt stuff in. Then they put a big sticker on the trailer or rv that says warning only.

I rewired and fused the positive side before it connects to my battery bus bars. The weather resistant 5 stage 10 amp charge controller is integrated into the panel to protect your 12 volt battery from overcharging while its large digital display helps you keep tabs on your power usage. If you have another third party solar panel with sae connectors that isn t a zamp panel you will probably not need to use the small reverse polarity adapter. Zamp solar panels kits are opposite.

If your solar panel has mc4 connectors like the renogy 100w suitcase the adapter you ll need is this one click to view on amazon. The voltage going from the solar panel to the battery. I use sae or powerpole connectors for most of my 12 volt connections.
