Tank PRO 6 ft Extension Cable Setup Guide

Quick answer

Use the Tank PRO 6 ft Extension Cable to safely connect Yeti or Tank PRO 4000 units to your solar panels, ensuring proper gauge and current rating for reliable power transfer.

Step-by-step setup guide

1. 1. Check compatibility: Verify that your solar panels and Yeti or Tank PRO 4000 unit have QS10 connectors. The Tank PRO 6 ft Extension Cable uses male-to-female QS10 ends. Common mistake: using this cable with non-QS10 connectors can cause poor contact or fire risk.
2. 2. Plan the cable route: Lay the cable along a clear path from the solar panel to your power station. Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or areas where the cable could be pinched or stepped on. Checkpoint: ensure the cable is not under tension and has some slack for movement.
3. 3. Connect the cable: Plug the male QS10 end into the female port on your solar panel, then connect the female QS10 end to the male port on the Yeti or Tank PRO 4000. Push firmly until the connectors click into place. Common mistake: forcing the connection if it doesn't click can damage the pins. Ensure connectors are aligned properly.
4. 4. Secure and test: Position the cable away from foot traffic and secure it with cable ties if needed. Power on your setup and verify that the solar input is recognized by the Yeti or Tank PRO 4000. Checkpoint: if no input is detected, disconnect and recheck all connections for tightness and correct orientation.
