Overview

The Features of the PicoCell controller are shown below. The unit has five wire glands: two solar PV inputs, one motor output, and two 

glands for the external sensors.

Three LEDs are used to indicate the PicoCell controller’s operation. On the bottom left, next to the external sensors glands, there is a 

motor ON/OFF switch that controls the PicoCell’s operation of the motor.

Once the door of the enclosure is removed, there is access to the input terminal blocks (DIN rail mounts) on the right. Below the DIN 

rail is a grounding block for connecting the equipment ground. 

The installer should only use the DIN rail terminals for 

connecting all external wires to the PicoCell unit.

 The smaller DIN rail on the lower left is used for an optional WiFi 

communication (comm) board, which can be purchased upon request.
