Usage
Do not leave the mVELO with the battery in the car or in the sun, because the acceptable
ambient temperature can be exceeded. Do not use the mVELO and the battery by strong
variations of temperature and air humidity to prevent the appearance of condensation on
the surface of the devices. The temperature of the mVELO rises when using. It is usual.
Input: how to charge from solar power
In order to obtain as much solar energy as possible, the mVELO device uses
the MPP tracking method. MPP (maximum power point) means that the po-
wer characteristic of the solar cells are constantly monitored and kept within
the maximum capacity range. This result is an average additional solar yield of
up to 20% as compared with systems without MPP tracking.
How to connect the solar panel
1
Please connect your output plug of mVELO with the input of the
pedelec battery first before connecting the plug of the solar panel
to the mVELO input port. When connecting the solar panel make
sure to avoid any short circuit at the panel jack because it could
damage the solar panel.
See “Which panel fits to mVELO”

As soon as enough light is cast on the solar panel, the sun symbol
will appear on the display.

while changing the position of the solar
panel. The optimum position is reached when the display shows the
maximum value.
