Excessive Discharge Protection For The Battery; Operation With An Rts Sun Sensor - SOMFY Oximo 40 Manual Del Usuario

7.4 Excessive discharge protection for the
battery
Each time the motor receives a command to raise or lower,
it checks the battery voltage to ensure it is not discharged
below 10 V.
- If the battery voltage is above 11.5 V: the motor is opera-
ting normally.
- If the voltage is below 11.5 V and above 10 V:
- When the Up button is pressed, the roller shutter stops
briefly when raising.
- When the Down button or STOP/my button is pressed,
the roller shutter does not perform the requested opera-
tion but performs two brief movements in the same
direction.
These actions indicate a low battery level.
- If the voltage is less than 10 V:
- The roller shutter will not operate.
Thanks to the solar panel(s), the battery voltage will rise
back up above 12 V, and the motor will resume normal
operation.
However, there is an alternative solution to recharge
the battery using the Somfy compatible external battery
charger.
See manual for Oximo WireFree™ Battery.
Caution! Never leave the battery discharged.

7.5 Operation with an RTS Sun sensor

To add or remove a sensor, refer to section 8.3.
The operation of the Oximo 40 WireFree™ RTS with an RTS
Sun sensor depends on the position of the roller shutter.
7.5.1 The roller shutter is not at the lower end limit
If the Oximo 40 DC RTS motor is linked to an RTS Sun
sensor, with the Sun function activated, the favourite posi-
tion activated and the battery voltage above 11.5 V, then the
roller shutter will move in accordance with the information
sent by the RTS Sun sensor.
7.5.1.1 Sun appearing
- When the sunshine reaches the threshold set with the RTS
Sun sensor and lasts for at least two minutes, the roller
shutter will move to the preset favourite position (my).
7.5.1.2 Sun disappearing
- When the sunshine is below the threshold set with the
RTS Sun sensor, the shutter will rise to the upper end limit
after a time delay of 15 to 30 minutes.
7.5.2 The roller shutter is at the lower end limit
If the roller shutter is at the lower end limit, irrespective of
the signals sent by the RTS Sun sensor, the shutter will not
move and remains in the lower end limit position.
