a. Installing the battery
- Install the battery inside the control unit and connect it, making sure to match up the +/- poles (fig.3)
- Attach it using the retaining lug supplied (fig.3-3).
Note:
The performance of the storage cell charge depends on the temperature of the surrounding environment
where it is installed. Optimum efficiency is obtained in moderate temperatures, whereas it is significantly reduced
at low temperature.
b. Wiring
Note: the panel is pre-wired.
- Cut the cable according to your installation
1: panel connection to the control box
2: Connect the adapter with cigarette lighter plug to the control unit.
- Strip the cables in order for the connections to be made properly to the control box and to the adapter with
cigarette lighter plug (fig.2)
- Follow the diagram carefully for correct system operation (fig.3)
Ensure that the connection polarities are respected.
- The switch 1 (fig.3-1) makes it possible to regulate the threshold of alarm:
12V*
1 2 3
ON DP
11V
1 2 3
ON DP
10V
1 2 3
ON DP
11.5V
1 2 3
ON DP
10.5V
1 2 3
ON DP
* : setting not recommended for gate opening mechanisms
- When the threshold is reached, a series of beeps warns you that the battery charge is low. You can recharge the
battery quickly by using the power supply charger (option: CH UNIVERSAL 15) or limit the use of the opening
mechanism while waiting for the lighting conditions to improve and allow the battery to recharge through the
photovoltaic panel.
- If you wish to recharge the battery, you must disconnect the terminals.
- When the battery reaches 10V, an additional protection is activated and the outputs are cut off. The battery will
be reactivated when it rises above 11V again.
- Reset: In the event of incorrect connection, over-consumption for more than 15 minutes, etc. the system is bloc-
ked. A reset is then necessary: Disconnect the panel and remove the fuse (fig 3-4) for a moment.
c. Battery charge status:
(fig 3-2)
Orange LED: Battery voltage between 10 and 11V
Red LED: Voltage < 10V
Green LED: Battery voltage > 11V
Green LED flashing: Battery fully charged
d. Fastening the photovoltaic panel
- To ensure optimum performance the photovoltaic panel must be positioned in such a way that it is able to capture
the maximum amount of solar power during the day. This means that the direction and angle of the panel must be
calculated according to its installation location.
Recommendation:
installing the photovoltaic panel at a 45° angle facing towards the South provides the opti-
mum conditions for capturing the maximum amount of solar power.
Use of a mounting bracket for fastening the selected panel angle to suit your needs is recommended (bracket not
supplied).
- Select the appropriate location for installing the photovoltaic panel. The panel must receive the maximum amount
of sunlight during the day and during different periods of the year in order to operate correctly.
