ments simultaneously in their seats, but only half way.
04. Attach the motor connector again (phase 4) and complete insertion of
the battery and control unit.
05. Lastly, refit the cable ducting support and the lower cover of the gear-
motor.
For further information on the battery, refer to its specific instruction manual.
A.5 - Connecting the solar power supply system
(SOLEKIT)
CAUTION! - The PR200 battery is an optional
device that enables the automation to run exclu-
sively on solar power. If this is envisaged in the
automation, the device must be connected to the
control unit only after completing all the other
tasks described in this manual.

The "ALTO"system can operate also with the SOLEKIT solar power sup-
ply system. Special technical provisions have been envisaged to minimise
energy consumption when the automation is stationary, by turning off all
devices not essential to operation (for example, the photocells). In this
way all energy available and stored in the battery is used to move the
gate.
To connect the SOLEKIT to the "ALTO" control unit, refer to fig. 36 and
the following procedure.
01. Remove the control unit from its seat as described in paragraph A.1.
02. Disconnect the automation from the power mains and remove the
PR200 backup battery (if fitted). CAUTION! - When the automa-
tion is powered by "SOLEKIT", it cannot and MUST NEVER BE
POWERED at the same time by the mains or the PR200 backup
battery (if fitted).
03. Connect the adaptor cable (supplied with the kit SOLEKIT) to the
socket on the control unit, taking care to observe polarity (refer to the
cable instruction leaflet. Caution! – the cable connector can only be
inserted in one direction).
04. Lastly, insert the control unit in its seat, refit the cable ducting support
and refit the lower cover of the gearmotor.
For further information on the SOLEKIT device, refer to its specific instruc-
tion manual.
A.5.1 - SOLEKIT application limits: maximum possible number of
cycles per day within a set period of the year
The SOLEKIT photovoltaic power supply enables the automation to oper-
ate completely autonomously for a limited number of manoeuvres per
day, i.e. for as long as the energy generated by the photovoltaic panel and
stored in the battery remains above the level of consumption with gate
manoeuvres. A simple calculation enables an estimate of the maximum
number of cycles per day (1 cycle = opening + closing) performed by the
automation in a certain period of the year, provided that a positive energy
balance is maintained.
The first step in calculating the energy available, is dealt with in the
SOLEKIT instruction manual; the second step in calculating the energy
consumed and therefore the maximum number of cycles per day, is dealt
with in this paragraph.
• Calculating the energy available
To calculate the energy available, proceed as follows (refer also to the
SOLEKIT instruction manual):
01. On the terrestrial map supplied in the SOLEKIT instruction manual,
locate the point of system installation; then read the value Ea and the
