After fixing the panel and battery, route the panel cable through the tube
or protection ducting through to the battery.
With reference to the instruction manual of the automation to be pow-
ered, remove the control unit protection cover. Then pass the end of the
power cable (with wires stripped) through the automation (where the
other cables are routed) and through the dedicated cable clamp. Then
route the cable through the protection ducting (if present) through to the
battery.
Caution! – Do not connect the power cable to the control unit; leave
access to the control unit open and leave the cable clamp loose.
STEP 5 – Assembly of " L" socket on the photovoltaic pa nel
cable
If the cable is too long, it can be shortened, taking care to strip the wires
so that their length is equal to the values specified in the figure below (ca -
u tion! – different lengths may impair subsequent assembly of the socket).
Then proceed with assembly of the GREY "L" type socket on the end of
the panel cable, as follows:
01. Insert the various elements of the socket on the cable, taking care
to observe the sequence as shown in fig. 7;
CAUTION! – Do not modify the electric jumper on the connector
(fig. 8).
02. Using a slotted screwdriver, attach the blue wire to terminal n° 1 on
the connector and brown wire to the earthing terminal (4) (fig. 9):
Note – The reference numbers and symbols are printed on the
connector below the terminals and on the opposite side.
03. After fixing the two wires, insert the connector in its casing (fig. 10).
Important – The correct position of the connector is that with
the earthing symbol in the lower position (see fig. 10);
04. Then pull the cable outwards from the socket and insert the seal
and washer (fig. 11-a-b). Lastly, tighten the cable clamp (fig. 11-c)
using a wrench, to guarantee completely sealed closure.
05. After assembling the socket, position the seal supplied on the con-
nection side (fig. 12).
STEP 6 – Assembly of " L" socket on the power cable
If the cable is too long, it can be shortened, taking care to strip the wires
so that their length is equal to the values specified in the figure below
(Caution! – different lengths may impair subsequent assembly of the
socket).
Then proceed with assembly of the BLACK "L" type socket on the end
of the power cable, as follows:
01. Insert the various elements of the socket on the cable, taking care
to observe the sequence as shown in fig. 7;
CAUTION! – Do not modify the electric jumper on the connector (fig. 8).
02. Using a slotted screwdriver, attach the blue wire to terminal n° 1
on the connector and the brown wire to the earthing terminal (4)
(fig. 9):
Note – The reference numbers and symbols are printed on the
connector below the terminals and on the opposite side.
03. After fixing the two wires, insert the connector in its casing (fig. 10).
Important – The correct position of the connector is that with
the earthing symbol in the lower position (see fig. 10);
04. Then pull the cable outwards from the socket and insert the seal
and washer (fig. 11-a-b). Lastly, tighten the cable clamp (fig. 11-c)
using a wrench, to guarantee a completely sealed closure.
05. After assembling the socket, position the seal supplied on the con-
nection side (fig. 12).
STEP 7 – Connecting the photovoltaic panel to the battery
To connect the panel to the battery, proceed as follows:
01. Connect the GREY "L" type socket to the "IN" connector on the
battery (fig. 14);
02. To select the most suitable connection configuration for the con-
nection 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! – For safety reasons, the operations described in
Step 8 must be performed exclusively by a skilled and quali-
fied technician.
To connect the battery to the automation, proceed as follows:
01. Access the control unit of the automation and insert the power
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.
02. Connect the BLACK "L" type socket to the OUT connector on the
battery (fig. 17);
03. Fix the socket by means of the safety screws supplied, with refer-
ence to fig. 18. Note – If frequent disconnection of the connector
from the battery is envisaged, use the screw in fig. 16-a. Otherwise
use the screw in fig. 16-b.
––– General note –––
IMPORTANT – After connecting the product to the automation, the sys-
tem 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 pro-
ceed:
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. SYA1( optional accessory).
