3.4 - General notes on system use
In general, when the battery is not sufficiently charged, the energy
reserve will run out in a few days. For this reason, after installation
and connecting the product to the automation, the system 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).
The battery enables a finite number of automation manoeuvre cycles.
Therefore, if not constantly recharged using pannel or occasionally by
means of GO POWER, the battery low signal may be activated, with
sequential flashing of the Led and a series of beeps (this signal may
be temporary or permanent).
In particular, when powered by pannel, recharging may be influenced
by atmospheric conditions, or intense use of the automation (when
the maximum admissible number of manoeuvre cycles is exceeded).
When this occurs, the battery box may indicate the battery low sta-
tus.
Battery box charging can be restored in one of the following ways:
A) - By limiting use of the automation until lighting conditions improve
to enable the battery to recharge naturally, via the connection to the
photovoltaic panel.
To accelerate the recharging process, disconnect the battery box
from the automation control unit and wait for a few days to enable
the photovoltaic panel to store sufficient solar energy to recharge the
battery.
B) - Disconnect the battery box from the automation control unit and
the solar panel (if present). Then recharge battery box using the GO
POWER battery charger connected to the mains in a protected en-
vironment.
When the battery is recharging (via the photovoltaic panel or GO
POWER battery charger) the red led emits 2 short flashes every 5
seconds. Therefore check that this signal is present, also after instal-
lation, when the panel is exposed to the sunlight.
The "battery low" warning signal is cleared when the system reaches
sufficient electrical autonomy to enable automation operation.
If the automation is not used for extended periods, disconnect the
automation and photovoltaic panel connectors from the battery, and
store the latter in a cool and dry location.
WHAT TO DO IF... (troubleshooting guide)
• The automation control unit does not turn on and the battery does not supply any signal.
This may depend on incorrect connections or electrical wiring not fully inserted; otherwise the battery may be completely discharged,
without sufficient energy to indicate the battery low status.
In this case, follow the quick recharging procedure, using the GO POWER battery charger, or wait until the photovoltaic panel, correctly
connected, starts to recharge the battery.
• The battery tends to discharge too quickly.
This may be due to excessive ageing of the battery, in which case replacement is recommended; otherwise it may be due to excessively
intensive use of the automation, over the application limits envisaged in this manual, found in section 3.1 - 3.2.
• The battery no longer recharges.
This may be due to a malfunction of the photovoltaic panel caused by incorrect installation, incorrect cable connections, or malfunction
of the battery.

4. Maintenance
In general, these devices do not require special maintenance; how-
ever, regular checks over time will ensure system efficiency.
Therefore, to ensure correct maintenance, check every 6 months that
the photovoltaic panel has not accumulated dirt (leaves, sand, etc.)
as this may reduce efficiency.
Also check whether battery replacement is required, as the ageing
process reduces autonomy over time.
CAUTION – The battery must be replaced exclusively by skilled
and qualified personnel.
5. System device dis-
posal
This device is an integral part of the automation and therefore
must be disposed together with the latter.
As in installation, also at the end of lifetime of these devices, the dis-
assembly and scrapping operations must be performed by qualified
personnel.
This device comprise various types of materials: some of which can
be recycled while others must be scrapped. Seek information on the
recycling and disposal systems envisaged by the local regulations in
your area for the relative device category.
Caution! – some parts of these devices may contain polluting or
hazardous substances which, if disposed of into the environment,
may cause serious damage to the environment or physical health.
As indicated by the symbol alongside, disposal of these devices in
domestic waste is strictly prohibited.
Separate the waste into categories for disposal, accord-
ing to the methods envisaged by current legislation in
your area, or return the devices to the retailer when pur-
chasing new equivalent versions.
Caution! – local legislation may envisage serious fines
in the event of abusive disposal of this device.
Caution! – The battery contains pollutant substances; after
removing, never dispose of as standard waste. Dispose of or
recycle according to current local standards.
