6.2 Excessive discharge protection for the
battery
Each time the motor receives a command to raise or lower,
it checks the battery voltage to ensure it is not discharged
below 10 V.
- If the battery voltage is above 11.5 V: the motor is opera-
ting normally.
If the voltage is below 11.5 V and above 10 V:
-
When the Up button is pressed, the roller shutter stops
-
briefly when raising.
When the Down button or STOP/my button is pressed,
-
the roller shutter does not perform the requested opera-
tion but performs two brief movements in the same
direction.
These actions indicate a low battery level.
If the voltage is less than 10 V:
-
The roller shutter will not operate.
-
Thanks to the solar panel(s), the battery voltage will rise
back up above 12 V, and the motor will resume normal
operation.
However, there is an alternative solution to recharge the
battery using the Somfy compatible external battery char-
ger, see next section.
Caution! Never leave the battery discharged.
6.3 Maintenance
The service life of the Oximo WireFree™ Battery is between
3 and 5 years.
If the roller shutter behaves abnormally as described in
-
the previous section, and the motor does not return to
normal operation after a sunny period:
Have the battery recharged by a professional, using
the Somfy compatible external battery charger: see
section 7.4.
If this happens again within the 3 year period: one solar
-
panel is not sufficient to charge the battery:
Check the number of solar panels required according
to the configuration, and add a solar panel if need be.
See manual for Oximo WireFree™ Solar
Panel.
If this happens again after the 3 year period:
-
Replace the battery
: see section 7.5.
