connection of all system devices, refer to the example shown in
fig. 15
.
Note
– If frequent disconnection of the battery plug is
envisaged, use the screw in
fig. 16-a
. Otherwise use the screw
in
fig. 16-b
.
Caution!
- When the battery is recharging via the photovoltaic panel,
the red led emits 2 short flashes every 5 seconds. Therefore check
that this signal is present when the panel is exposed to the sunlight.
STEP 9 – Connecting the battery to the automation
To connect the battery to the automation, proceed as follows:
01.
Connect the
BLACK
“L” type socket to the “
OUT”
connector
on the battery (
fig. 17
);
02.
To select the most suitable connection configuration for the
connection of all system devices, refer to the example shown in
fig. 18
.
Note
–
If frequent disconnection of the battery plug is
envisaged, use the screw in
fig. 16-a
. Otherwise use the screw
in
fig. 16-b
.
03.
Access the control unit of the automation and insert the pow-
er cable connector in the buffer battery socket on the control
unit. To locate this socket, refer to the instruction manual of the
automation to be powered.
Caution! - when the automation is powered by SoleKIT, it
must NEVER BE POWERED via the mains at the same time.
–– General note ––
IMPORTANT
– After connecting the product to the automation,
the system may not be operative immediately; this depends on
the fact that the battery may be discharged due to the natural
process of discharging over time, even when stored. In this case,
there are two ways to proceed:
A)
Disconnect the battery from the automation control unit and
wait for a few days for the photovoltaic panel to receive sufficient
sunlight in order to recharge the battery;
B)
Proceed with rapid recharge of battery using back-up power
supply unit mod. PBC2 (optional accessory).
–– Visual and audible signals ––
The SoleKIT is equipped with a led and a buzzer.
• When the battery is recharging (via the photovoltaic panel or
battery charger) the red led emits 2 short flashes every 5 sec-
onds Therefore check that this signal is present, also after instal-
lation, when the panel is exposed to the sunlight.
• When the battery has completed charging via the battery charg-
er, the led remains permanently lit.
• When the battery is discharged, the red led emits one short
flash every 5 seconds, accompanied by a beep.
–– Notes for use ––
• NEVER leave the battery connected to the automation if
the photovoltaic panel is not also connected and opera-
tional.
Caution! -
If the battery is not sufficiently recharged, the reserve
will run out within a few days.
• If the automation is not used for prolonged periods,
detach the connectors of the automation and photovol-
taic panel from the battery and store the latter in a cool
and dry location.
