-
If the voltage measured is greater than 24 V, check
the connections and the condition of the wires.
-
If there is no voltage or a very low voltage
(< 24 V), this indicates a defect on the solar panel.
This can be the result of a faulty connection, or a
defective component. The panel must be returned
to AS POOL for analysis.

-
Disconnect the batteries for the test. The voltage
of each one should be 12 V.
-
Reconnect the batteries, disconnect the green and
black wires from the regulator, there should be a
24 V DC voltage between these wires.
-
If the voltage is less than 22 V, the voltage is not
sufficient to correctly operate the motor, check all
the connections, the condition of the wires and
the contacts on the rearm button.
-
If there is no voltage or a very low voltage (< 24 V),
this indicates that the batteries are not charged.
This can be the result of a faulty connection, an
incorrect positioning of the panel or a defective
component.
7.2.3
Measurement of the voltage output from the
regulator
If items 7.2.1 and 7.2.2 have been checked and
the voltages are correct, and if your voltage on
the output from the regulator is less than 24 V,
you must re-initialise the regulator before the
following steps:
- Disconnect the "-" wire from the solar panel,
- Disconnect the "-" wire from the batteries,
- Wait for the regulator indicators the indicators
to go out.
Then reconnect the wires in the same order:
solar panel "-" and then battery "-".
-
Without disconnecting the blue and red wires
from the regulator, measure the DC voltage
between these wires. It should be 24 V DC. This
voltage should be found between the terminals
of screw terminals 3 and 4 (check the wires and
connections if this is not the case).
-
If there is no voltage here, but there is output
voltage from the batteries, keep the forcing button
pressed down and turn the slatted cover control
key.
-
If the cover reacts to turning of the key, this
indicates a regulator fault. This can be the
result of a power surge due to a thunder storm,
a faulty connection, or a defective component.
The regulator must be returned to AS POOL for
analysis.
-
Rectifier test: 24 V DC (Direct Current) on the
square rectifier: the "+" terminal is perpendicular
to the other 3 terminals. The "-" terminal is
diagonally opposite.
-
Thermal circuit breaker test: 24 V DC on the
terminals marked "+" and "-" at the connecting
cable connections.
-
If a voltage is not present or of a different value,
check again making sure that the multimeter
tips are in contact with the terminals and that
your multimeter is calibrated and on the correct
measurement position. A voltage that is absent or
different from the indicated voltage indicates that
the tested component is defective. Replace it or
request its return to AS POOL for analysis.
-
If the voltage is correct the box is in perfect
working order.
7.1.2
Checking the power supply cable between the
electric box and the roller motor
-
Reconnect the cable that supplies the roller in the
electric box and disconnect it from the roller post
at its entry from the screw terminals marked "+"
and "-".
-
Step by step, check for the presence of the
indicated voltage on the following terminals:
-
Connecting cable test: 24 V DC in the box at
the terminals marked "+" and "-" where the
connecting cable is connected. The 24 V DC on
the terminals for the 2 wires arriving at the post.
If the voltage is below 22 V, this voltage will not be
sufficient for the correct operation of the motor.
-
If voltage is not present or the value is different, it
means that your cable is defective, cut, damaged
or has the wrong resistance, or is located too near
to a cable with a different voltage that disrupts its
operation. Replace the cable. Make a temporary
connection using another cable directly between the
electric box and the motor to carry out new tests.
7.2 For the solar models
CAUTION: It is imperative to orient the solar panels
facing SOUTH, directly exposed to sunlight and away
from any shade
7.2.1
Measure the voltage output from the solar panel
-
Disconnect the green wire from the battery "+".
-
Disconnect the + and - wires from the solar panel
on the regulator. Measure the direct voltage
between these two wires (a panel correctly
positioned receiving direct sunlight supplies a
voltage > 24 V and < 50 V).
-
There must be a voltage greater than 24 V DC,
if this is the case, go to step 2.
-
If the voltage is less than 24 V, measure it again
directly between the black and red wires of the
solar panel.
