Back-up circuit hack

If you are experiencing intermittent issues with your power, it could be due to an overloaded back-up circuit.

Keep this hack handy to keep the lights on!

An overloaded back-up circuit can be set to bypass so that it connects directly to the grid.

To 'bypass' this (pun intended!) we suggest putting your grey switch in the UP position and leave it there. 

In the event of a grid blackout, you can easily re-engage your backup circuit by switching it into the DOWN position. In either mode the battery behaves normally - discharging every night where there is demand.

For more information, check out the Knowledge Base.

No more blackouts for you!
