In manufacturing, the Weld line or Knit line or Meld line is the line where two flow fronts meet when there is the inability of two or more flow fronts to "knit" together, or "weld", during the molding process. These lines usually occur around holes or obstructions and they will not affect the waterproof functionality.

The ASP1000-P can be used on the BCC2000 or the BCC2000Plus bundle. Please note that the APB1000 power bank needs to be installed in an ATH2000 housing.
We don't recommend using ASP1000 solar power as a direct external power source because the sun is a bit unreliable. Instead, you must use the APB1000 Power bank, and use it with the ASP1000 solar panel as an external power bank.
Please check this on the time-lapse calculator.
The
ASP1000 is IP65 in
its waterproof
resistance.
The
APB1000 is not
waterproof. You need
to install the
ABB1000 inside the
ATH2000 power
housing, to replace
the 16 AA battery
case.
We suggest not using other brand power banks as the APB1000 power has been proven to be compatible with the ASP1000 solar panel and it can always be ON to provide power.
It is 270 cm long.
It depends on your recording environment. In locations with higher dust levels, it's recommended to periodically clean the surface of the solar panels to ensure the best charging efficiency.
As the Brinno time-lapse cameras only consume a little power to operate, most of the other brand power banks will turn off and stop providing power when they detect the needed power is low. Unless you use the one that can always ON/turn off the power-saving mode. For your information, the APB1000 is always ON mode, and it can provide a continuous power supply for low-power Brinno time-lapse cameras or IoT applications.
Please refer to the user manual.
Yes, please fully charge the APB1000 before installing it into the ATH2000 housing.
You may check the LED lights on the APB1000, it will blink in green to indicate it is been charged.
The four LED at the side represents the power level. If the APB1000 is fully charged, four LEDs will light up in green.
Yes, you can use the APB1000 to provide power to the camera. Please check the power level regularly, and charge/switch the power bank if needed.
The APB1000 will always be ON when it connects to the camera, and it will auto turned off if it is removed from the camera.
Recommended ambient temperature is -4 °F ∼ 140 °F (-20 °C ∼ 60 °C).
Find a place that receives maximum sunlight throughout the day, and set the tilt angle to 30 degrees from the horizontal surface. (Quick Guide pg. 12)
Please refer to the user manual.
No, the ASP1000 solar panel needs to be placed outdoors and facing the sunlight directly to achieve the best results.
