Daily Home Renovation Tips每日家裝修秘訣

In Part 3 we reviewed the features of our new solar charged electric lawn mower, focusing on the brushless motor.在第3部分，我們審查的特點，我們的新太陽能被控電動草坪割草機，著眼於無刷電機。 Today, in Part 4 we focus on our efforts to install the solar charging station, including the solar panel.今天，在第4部分我們專注於我們的努力，安裝太陽能充電站，包括太陽能電池板。

I for one am really excited.我來說，真的感到很興奮。 I did not do very well in science in school.我沒有做的非常好，科學在學校。 In fact, I stopped taking science after grade 9.事實上，我停止以科學後， 9年級。 So I don’t understand how solar panels work at all.  This fear of the unknown did make me a little apprehensive about me putting this solar charging station together by myself.所以我不明白如何太陽能電池板的工作，在所有這恐懼未知確實令我有點擔心，我把這個太陽能充電站在一起，由我自己。

The good news?一個好消息嗎？ Well, I was able to do it after only 2 hours sleep! The night before I was out on the west coast of California and took the ‘red eye’ (overnight) flight back east.那麼，我能這樣做之後，只有2個小時的睡眠！的前一天晚上我是列於西海岸的加利福尼亞州和了'紅眼' （通宵）飛行回到東。 I don’t know about you but I never get any sleep on those flights.  But, I digress我不知道你，但我從來沒有得到任何的睡眠對這些航班，但我偏離

OK, the first (of many) picture below shows all of the components of the solar charging station laid out on our back lawn.確定，第一（許多）下面的圖片顯示，所有的組成部分，太陽能充電站奠定列於我們回到草坪。 The two metal parts (at the top of the picture below) which look like a weird ‘Z’ are to be attached to the charger station itself (which is at the bottom of the picture).兩個金屬零件（在頂部的下面的圖片）的外觀像一個怪異的Z '要重視充電器站本身（這是在底部的圖片） 。 The small boxes on the extreme left and right each contain one of the batteries.小方塊，極左和極右勢力各自包含其中的電池。 And, the white thing in the middle is the underside of the solar panel, measuring 16 and 3/4 inches by 18 inches.和，白事，在中東是底太陽能電池板，測量16日和3 / 4英寸乘18英寸。

Now, notice the two holes in the top and lower black horizontal frames in the above picture.現在，請注意兩洞在頂端和較低的黑色臥式框架，在上述圖片。 These are used to affix the panel to what ever you want to place it on.這些都是用來追究小組，什麼都想要將它放在。 However, you are not required to affix the panel to anything.不過，您不須追究有關小組的東西。 Per the manufacturer’s customer service, some customers apparently move the panel during the day to get more sun light.每製造商的客戶服務，有些客戶顯然動議小組在白天，以獲得更多陽光。 That’sa bit too much work for me (my wife’s husband can be a bit lazy that'sa位太多的工作對我來說（我的妻子的丈夫，可有點懶惰 ) so I will be fixing it to something. ） ，所以我將它固定的東西。

While the instructions say to place the solar panel at a 45 degree angle to gain the most direct sun light I decided to have the solar panel lay flat on the top of this small deck box.而指示說，把太陽能電池板在一個45度角，以獲得最直接的陽光，我決定有太陽能電池板奠定單位對頂部的甲板上這個小方塊。

Now, I do have to be honest, because at the end of the day if one does not maintain one’s integrity then what does one have (not to get too philosophical).現在，我要誠實，因為在這一天結束，如果不保持一個的完整性，然後什麼一有（不要太哲學） 。 The manufacturer needs to improve two things to make the installation easier: (A) more detailed step by step installation instructions (I guess that where Daily Home Renovation Tips come in製造商的需要，以改善兩件事，使安裝更容易： （一）更詳細的一步一步的安裝說明（我猜想，如果每天在家裝修秘訣來了 ) and (B) supply all of the tools needed to put this together. ）和（ b ）供應的所有必要的工具，把這項在一起。

If they would have simply supplied a flat wrench to assemble the part which will affix the solar panel to the flat or angled surface and if they would have supplied the flat screw driver the size of the ones you use on a pair of glasses I would have saved more than an hour of wasted time looking for these things in my own home.如果他們將只是提供一個單位扳手組裝的一部分，這將追究太陽能電池板，以單位或直角表面的話，他們會提供該單位螺絲刀的大小對你使用的一對眼鏡，我會節省一個多小時的時間浪費在尋找這些東西在我自己的家。 Other manufactures of other products commonly do such things to improvement the customer’s experience.其他製成品的其他產品的普遍做這些事情，以改善客戶的經驗。 However, that is my ONLY complaint about all this.不過，這是我唯一的投訴，這一切。 As one of the judges on American Idol likes to say, I’m just ‘keeping it real’ for y’all.作為一名法官就美國偶像喜歡說，我只是'保持真正的' y'all 。

The first step was th attach the metal stand to the black charger station with simple bolts and screws.第一步是次附加金屬支架，以黑色充電器站與簡單的螺栓和螺絲釘。

Next, I tried to see of the cord from the solar panel to inside the deck box would fix in the space underneath the back of the lid.接下來，我試圖看到的臍帶血由太陽能電池板內的甲板上框定在太空的下背部的蓋子。 No such luck.沒有這樣的運氣。 So I drilled a hole on top of the deck box lid sufficiently large for the cord.因此，我鑽了一個洞，頂部的甲板上框蓋足夠大，為臍血。 However, I did not first look (you know what they say, measure twice and cut / drill once) to see the position of the cord in the underside of the solar panel.不過，我沒有先看看（你知道他們說，措施和兩次削減/演練一次）看到的立場，臍帶血在下方的太陽能電池板。 So, I had to drill a second time about 5 inches further away from the first hole.所以，我不得不演習，第二次約5英寸進一步脫離第一洞。

Next I then attached the brackets to one of the two holes on either side of the frame on the underside of the solar panel.接下來，我，然後附上括號內，以其中的兩洞兩側的框架上下方的太陽能電池板。 Next, as I carefully guided the 10 feet of cord from the back of the solar panel through the second hole I had drilled, I placed the solar panel right side up on top of the deck box lid..其次，正如我仔細地指導了10英尺的電線從後面的太陽能電池板，通過第二洞，我鑽，我把太陽能電池板的右側了對上方的甲板上框蓋.. Using the other side of these brackets as a guide, I then drilled two more holes into the top of the deck box, one for each bracket.使用的另一邊，這些括號內為指導，我便鑽出兩個洞到頂部的甲板中，一為每個組別。 This allowed me to then use other, longer screws (not provided) to affix the solar panel to the top of the deck box lid.這讓我，然後使用其他，較長的螺絲（沒有提供）追究的太陽能電池板向上方的甲板上框蓋子。

With the deck box lid now open, I placed the charging station unit inside.與甲板上框蓋，現在開放的，我放在收費站的單位內。 This charging unit comes with a solar charging controller into which the wires within the cord from the solar panel are placed.這個收費單位附帶一個太陽能充電控制器，其中電線內部的脊髓從太陽能電池板放置。 This solar charging controller will also ensure that the batteries are not over charged.這個太陽能充電控制器也將確保該電池不超過起訴。 It has two very small indicator lights.它有兩個非常小的指示燈。 One will be red when the batteries are not in the charging unit and will be green when they are.一將是紅色，當電池而不是在收費單位和將綠色，當他們。 The other small light will flash green when the batteries are in the charging unit being charged and will be a consistent (ie not flashing) green when they are fully charged and ready for use.其他小光將閃光的綠色，當電池在收費單位被起訴，並將於一致的（即不閃爍）綠色，當他們完全充電，並準備使用。

So, the solar charging station already has the wires into the controller.因此，太陽能充電站已經電線到控制器。 What you need to do is to insert, according to the very clear instructions (with diagrams) the wires from the solar panel into the solar charging controller by using a mini-screw driver.你需要做的就是要插入，根據很明確的指示（圖）電線從太陽能電池板把太陽能充電控制器通過使用一個小型的螺絲刀。

And that’s it!就是這樣！ Once I did this the two indicator lights on the solar charging controller were bright red (per above), which told me that I had connected the wires correctly.有一次我做這兩個指示燈就太陽能充電控制器的鮮紅色（ ％以上） ，告訴我，我已連接導線正確。

The last thing was to remove the packaging around each battery and place them into the charging unit.最後一件事是消除包裝周圍，每個電池和地點到收費單位。 This was the easiest part of this surprisingly easy assembly.這是最容易的部分，這很容易令人驚訝的大會。

And then I waited.然後我等待。 I was really, really tempted to place the batteries in the other charging unit that came with the lawn mower that can be plugged into an electrical outlet.我是真的，真的很想把電池，在其他收費單位附帶的草坪割草機，可以插入到電源插座。 I really want to start using this lawn mower.我真的想開始使用此草坪割草機。 However, I wanted to do my own test to see how it would all work right from the start by being completely off grid.不過，我想做的事我自己的測試，看它如何將所有的工作從一開始就被完全抵消的網格。

We’ll wait for a few days and then report back to you on our first lawn mowing experience with our new solar charged, brushless, 24 V, self propelled, 19 inch, mulching, electric lawn mower!我們將等候數天，然後報告回您對我們的第一次刈割草坪的經驗與我們的新太陽落案起訴，無刷， 24伏特，自我推進， 19吋，地膜，電動草坪割草機！ To continue to the next article in this series, where we take the new solar charged lawn mower out for a ‘test drive’ on our lawn, simply select this link to繼續下一步的文章，在這一系列，我們在那裡採取新的太陽能被控草坪割草機為'試駕'對我們的草坪上，只需選擇此鏈接 Part 5第5部分 . 。
