Safety and Usage Precautions
WA
RNI
RNING
Batteries are shipped fully-charged.
Use extreme caution when handling
the batteries as they are capable
of generating hazardous short-
circuit currents. Remove all jewelry
(bracelets, metal-strap watches,
etc.) before attempting to handle the
batteries.
Solar panels produce DC electricity
when exposed to light and can,
therefore, produce an electrical
shock or burn. To render solar
panels inoperative, remove them
from sunlight, or fully cover their
front surface with an opaque
material.
Before lifting any heavy or bulky
equipment, ensure that the load is
secured so that moving parts do
not shift and it can be lifted as far
as needed without back strain or
loss of grip. Installation may require
more than one person.
Ensure the equipment is not
powered during installation and
wiring of the system.
Re-check all completed wiring for
proper polarity prior to energizing
the system.
System must not be operated on
one battery.

Introduction
The R247-E is the new standard for 24 hour flashing
beacons:
The solar panel and EMS work together to charge the
batteries during the day. The EMS controls the flow of
power from the batteries to the flashing LED module.
System Components
• R247-E solar engine, consisting of:
•Energy management system (EMS)
•Chassis assembly
•Solar panel
•Batteries (2)
• Signal head with LED module
• Post mount

capable of generating
hazardous short-circuit
currents. Remove all
jewelry (bracelets,
metal-strap watches,
etc.) before attempting to
handle the batteries.
CAUTION Consult with
Carmanah customer
service before making
adjustments to the
system. Improper

Installation
Summary
Basic steps to install a R247-E solar engine:
1. Connect the post mount to the post.
2. Mount the solar engine and signal head assembly
onto the post and aim the signal head as desired.
3. Tighten the nipple to secure the signal head as
required.
4. Rotate the solar engine to ensure the solar panel
is facing south and tighten the nut as required.
5. Connect the batteries to the wiring harness and
place the batteries into the solar engine with the
terminals to the bottom and facing out. Take care
not to short the battery terminals to the metal
chassis.
6. Secure the batteries with the battery strap. Note
the proper routing (reference page 11).
7. The EMS will be pre-configured at the factory.
Use the onboard interface to check the system
status and configuration, or to make adjustments if
necessary.
8. Close the solar engine and secure solar panel with
fastener.
