10. Appendix: Solar regulator
-
The power supply to the motor comes from two
electronically regulated batteries supplied by a
high yield photovoltaic panel which provides an
autonomy of 20 cycles (on full load).
-
The solar panel must be placed outside and
pointing
in the right direction, due north is to be excluded!
A minimum
direct exposure of 5 hours allows normal
use everywhere in France all year round.
-
A beep signal indicates a low battery charge, while
guaranteeing a complete final opening/closing cycle.
10.1 Regulation operation
10.1.1
The regulator emits sound signals to warn the user
of a change in the state of the batteries:
-
1 beep: the battery charge is under 75 %.
-
3 beeps: the battery charge is under 25 %.
-
5 beeps: the battery charge is under 10 %.
-
25 beeps: the system is going into safety mode
(see troubleshooting).
10.1.2
The regulator emits light signals to warn the user
of a change in the state of the batteries:

Order of tests
Forcing
By using the "Forcing" push button to user overrides
the regulator safety and takes power directly from
the batteries.
Connections
Loosen the connections one by one and tighten them
carefully on the conductor part of the wire.
Regulator
Charging is permanent except when:
- Insufficient light,
- Panel damaged,
- Batteries charged,
- Incorrect connection.
Red LED on and FORCING ineffective: batteries empty,
leave to charge.
Switch
Simulate the use of the key switch by making a shunt
between 4 and 1 and then between 4 and 2 (never
power 1 and 2 at the same time).
Gear motor
Power the motor directly using the batteries: 4 on
the + and 3 on the - and then in turn 1 or 2 on the +
to rotate.
