SC10 Solar Charger

©RECONYX, Inc.

Getting Started

1) Connect the SC10 internal battery.

Your SC10 comes with the red wire disconnected from the positive terminal on

the battery.

Use the Thumb Screw on the back of the unit to loosen the top/front of the unit

from the back/bottom. Rotate the top/front forward to reveal the SC10 battery.

Remove the plastic cap from the positive terminal on the battery and plug the

red wire onto this terminal.

Close the unit and tighten the thumb screw to hold the two halves together.

2) Connect the SC10 to the camera by plugging the shielded power cable into the

external power jack on the bottom of your cellular camera.

3) Turn on your camera (with no internal batteries inside) to test and see if

everything is working.

4) Optionally, you can now install a set of Lithium batteries inside the camera if you

would like to have a backup power source in case someone or something

unplugs or cuts the shielded cable going between the camera and the SC10

Solar Unit.

SC10 Solar Charger Overview

The SC10 Solar Charger is a great complement to your Reconyx Cellular camera.

The SC10 is a complete power supply system that includes a 10-Watt solar panel with

a 108 Watt Hour (9 Amp Hour) Sealed Lead Acid battery. The Lead Acid battery was

chosen because it is a tried and true battery chemistry that will run in the hottest

summers and coldest winters that most of us will ever experience.

With the SC10, you can power your cellular camera indefinitely with power from the

sun. For cellular users that can mount the SC10 in a spot that gets a few hours of

direct sunlight per day, this unit should provide sufficient power to run your cellular

camera indefinitely.

If you can get the SC10 in full sunlight, at mid-latitude locations, it should provide

enough power to take and send 500 to1000 pictures per day through the cellular

modem. Most users will never need nor want to send this many pictures.

If you cannot get enough sunlight, or you are needing to send a very large number of

photos, you can daisy chain more than one SC10 together to double or triple the

power available to your camera.

Mounting the SC10

Integrated T-Post (Star Post) Mount

The SC10 is designed to sit atop almost any “T-post” style metal fencepost (also

works with "Y" and "Star" posts) and can be rotated 360 degrees.

Rotate the unit so that it is facing the direction where it will get the most hours of

sunlight during the day. Then lower it onto the post until the post is fully inserted in

the slot. Gravity will hold the unit on to the post.

Using the Camera T-Post mount with the SC10

A great way to deploy your SC10 Solar unit and

HyperFire 2 Cellular camera is to mount both of them to

the same T-Post. This allows you to put the camera

exactly where you want it and more than likely get sun on

the correct face of the Solar unit at the same time.

The T-Post Camera Mount is sold separately, and

can be purchased at www.reconyx.com.

Note: We do not recommend setting the SC10 on the ground. There are two primary

reasons for this: 1) snow, 2) foliage. You don’t want the unit covered by snow or

hidden by vegetation. You want the face of the SC10 to get as much sunlight as

possible.

Mounting with Screws

The SC10 can also be mounted on a post, wall, or tree using a couple of screws or

lag bolts; one to hang the unit on, and one to keep it from rotating.

Mounting Bracket (Sold Separately)

The SC10 Mounting Bracket allows you to mount the bracket to a post, pole, wall or

tree, then simply slip the SC10 onto the bracket and secure it to the bracket with a

couple of bolts on the bottom of the unit.

Connecting the System

Connecting to Camera

The SC10 comes with a 12-foot power cable that is wound around the keeper cleats

on the back side of the unit. This provides you with enough cable to hopefully mount

the SC10 where it can get the most sunlight (up to 12 feet from the camera). There is

a hold down under these cleats to clip the cable into to hold excess wire on the cleats

if your camera is closer than 12 feet.

Note the Input Jack on the right side as you look at the back of the unit. This is the

input for daisy chaining more than one solar unit together. There are two basic

reasons you might daisy chain: 1) you need to take and send a lot of pictures, and

one unit won’t keep up, 2) you are under canopy and you are not getting enough

sunlight to recharge the SC10 internal battery to keep up with even a moderate level

of activity. To daisy chain the SC10s, just plug the output from one into the input of

the other, and then plug the output from that one, into the camera. You can add as

many units as you need to in this fashion.

Using Desiccant in your Camera

Long Term Deployment with Internal Backup

When you are deploying your camera for long term operation (a year or greater), we

highly recommend that you use one of our desiccant options inside of your camera to

absorb any moisture that can penetrate the seals over time with the heating and

cooling cycles of the day. This will ensure your camera runs at an optimal level for as

many years as possible.

If you are using internal backup batteries, your desiccant option is to use our

desiccant sheets. They lay over top of the batteries and absorb moisture that may

enter the camera over time. These are available at www.reconyx.com.

Long Term Deployment without Internal Backup

If you choose to deploy without internal backup batteries, you have an even better

desiccant option. This is the 14-gram indicating desiccant pouches we have available

on our web site as well. You can put one or two of these in the cameras in place of a

bank of batteries. These pouches are indicating. The little strip across the middle

allows you to see inside the pouch. If the pellets are blue, they are dry. When they

turn pink/white, they need to be recharged. You can recharge them by placing on a

cookie sheet in a low oven (170F). Bake them dry and you can re-use them.
