Product Installation - Nice Solemyo SYKCE Instrucciones Y Advertencias Para La Instalación Y El Uso

• Application limits – Graph A - B - C
Graphs A, B and C indicate the solar power available, on the basis of
the location's latitude, at all times of the calendar year, with the automa-
tion powered exclusively using SYKCE. The graph curve is generated
taking into account the quantity of daylight recorded at a specific latitude
within a year.
To obtain the maximum possible number of cycles per day, proceed as
follows:
01. On graph A, B or C (depending on the latitude of your system)
identify the period of the year concerned, then locate value "Cb"
on the vertical axis, corresponding to this period, as shown in the
example in the graph.
02. Then use value "Cb" to make the calculations as stated in the
addendum sheet.
Warning – During the day, if the photovoltaic panel remains in the shade
for a certain period of the day (in particular from 10 am to 2 pm) the
maximum possible number of operating cycles decreases in proportion
to the hours without panel exposure to sunlight.

4 – Battery charge autonomy
When the automation is subject to intensive use, exceeding the maxi-
mum possible number of manoeuvre cycles, the battery may indicate
the battery discharged status with regular flashing of the Led and emis-
sion of beeps (this signal may be temporary or permanent). In these cas-
es, recharge the battery in one of the following ways:
a) using the back-up power supply unit (mod. SYA1 – optional accesso-
ry) for a quick recharge, using a fixed power mains connection;
b) limiting use of the automation until lighting conditions improve to
enable the battery to recharge via the photovoltaic panel.
In both cases, the "battery discharged" warning is cleared when the sys-
tem reaches sufficient electrical autonomy to enable automation operation.

PRODUCT INSTALLATION

5 – Component assembly and connections
STEP 1 – Optimal photovoltaic panel positioning
As a general rule, the panel must be positioned so that it can be con-
stantly illuminated by sunlight during the day and throughout the year.
This means that its horizontal position and vertical angle must be calcu-
lated precisely on the basis of the location where it is to be installed.
Therefore, after performing the checks specified in chapter 3, and con-
sidering the various options for panel installation as shown in fig. 6, pro-
ceed as follows:
• Ensure the correct position of the panel on the horizontal plane as
follows:
a) In the installation site, determine the cardinal points NORTH and
SOUTH, with the aid of a compass or a geographical map of the location.
b) Then position the panel in the direction NORTH or SOUTH, according
to the following:
– if the installation site is in a country North of the equator (United
States; Europe; Russia; etc.) the panel must be positioned exactly
SOUTH;
– if the installation site is in a country South of the equator (Latin
America; Australia; Indonesia, etc.) the panel must be positioned
exactly NORTH.
For further information, refer to fig. 4.
• Ensure the correct position of the panel on the vertical plane as
follows:
Considering the fact that maximum efficiency of the panel is also
required in the winter period, i.e. when the daily hours of sunlight are
fewer than in the Summer, the panel should be positioned at an angle
that receives the sun rays at right angles (frontal) to the sensitive surface.
This angle corresponds to the latitude of the location and can be read
on any commercial geographical map. For example, Madrid has a lati-
tude of 40°; Venice 45°; or London approx 50° etc. For further informa-
tion, refer to fig. 5.
STEP 2 – Fixing the photovoltaic panel in the selected site
After establishing the precise position of the panel, fit all components of
the support bracket according to the instructions in fig. 3.
Then fix the panel bracket to the selected surface as shown in fig. 6.
STEP 3 – Fixing the battery in the selected site
After performing the checks specified in chapter 3 establishing the pre-
cise position for the battery, fix the latter onto the selected surface as
shown in fig. 13. Note – For fixture, use two screws on the underside,
only if the battery is to be secured in a fixed position and not removable.
STEP 4 – Cable routing
IMPORTANT! – the power cable supplied must be suitable
for indoor use, and therefore must be protected by means
of a protection duct.
