5. Use and operating mode
After the
40 WireFree™ DC RTS kit has been installed and commissioned, the Somfy battery charges with
Oximo
electrical energy via the solar panel.
The electrical energy transmitted by the solar panel is stored by the Somfy battery to supply the Oximo 40 WF
RTS motor.
6. Cleaning
Never let snow accumulate on the solar panel and ensure that its photovoltaic cells are not covered by snow,
leaves, etc.
Keep the photovoltaic cells clean by cleaning them with clean water, using a soft cloth to avoid scratching them.
