GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
AND PRECAUTIONS
The design and manufacture of the devices making up the product
and the information in this manual fully comply with current stan-
dards governing safety. However, incorrect installation or program-
ming may cause serious physical injury to those working on or
using the system. For this reason, during installation, always strict-
ly observe all instructions in this manual.
If in any doubt regarding installation, do not proceed and contact the
Nice Technical Assistance for clarifications.
WORKING IN SAFETY!
Warning – for personal safety it is important to observe these
instructions.
Warning – Important safety instructions:
Keep these instructions in a safe place.
Observe the following warnings:
– make electrical connections exclusively as envisaged in this
manual incorrect: connections could cause serious damage to the
system.
– the power cable supplied must be suitable for indoor use, and
therefore must be protected by means of a tube embedded in the
wall or an external duct.
– never touch metal parts of the sockets on the battery casing with
metal objects.
Considering the risk situations that may arise during installation
phases and use of the product, the devices supplied in the pack
must be installed in observance of the following warnings:
– never make any modifications to part of the devices other than those
specified in this manual. Operations other than as specified can cause
malfunctions. The manufacturer declines all liability for damage caused
by makeshift modifications to the product.
– never place devices near to sources of heat and never expose to
naked flames. This may damage system components and cause mal-
functions, fire or hazardous situations.
– ensure that the devices cannot come into contact with water or other
liquids. During installation ensure that no liquids penetrate the devices
present.
– the product packaging material must be disposed of in full observance
of current local legislation governing waste disposal.
Warning! – Keep this manual in a safe place to enable future product
maintenance and disposal procedures.
KNOWLEDGE OF THE PRODUCT AND
PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
1 – Description and intended use
SOLEMYO is a system for solar power designed for Nice auto mations
for gates and garage doors (the list of compatible automations is provid-
ed on the sheet attached with the manual, which can also be consulted
on the website www.niceforyou.com).
Any other use is to be considered improper! The manufacturer
declines all liability for damage resulting from improper use of the
product and other than as specified in this manual.
SOLEMYO uses exclusively solar power to power the automation, with a
constant and permanent supply of electrical energy (fig. 1). The system
is particularly suitable for the automation of gates located far from the
fixed power mains.
The system comprises a photovoltaic panel (mod. SYP) and an electric
battery (mod. PSY24):
– the photovoltaic panel is a device able to convert sunlight directly
into electrical energy.
– the battery is a device that stores the electrical power produced by
the photovoltaic panel during the hours of sunlight, making it available at
any time of the day, including days with bad weather. This device is
equipped with a carry handle, a led indicating operating status and two
plugs for connection of the photovoltaic panel and the automation to be
powered. The rear of the battery is also fitted with 4 holes for wall-
mounting.
2 – Components to set up a complete power supply
system
Fig. 2 illustrates all components used to set up a complete power sup-
ply system. The components are:
a) Photovoltaic panel mod. SYP, with connection cable;
b) Bracket for fixture of the photovoltaic panel;
c) Metal hardware (screws, washers, etc.);
d) Electric battery (mod. PSY24);
e) Power cable for connection between the battery and auto mation;
f) "L" type sockets;
g) Screws for "L" type socket fixture.
• Optional Accessories (not supplied in pack)
For battery type PSY24, a power supply unit is available (mod. SYA1 –
optional accessory) for temporary connection to the electrical mains (for
further information, refer to chapter 4).
3 – Preliminary installation checks and product applica-
tion limits
To ascertain suitability of the product with respect to the specific fea-
tures of the automation to be powered, the following checks should be
performed as well as a check for compliance of the technical data in the
chapter "Product technical specifications".
In the vicinity of the automation to be powered, locate the ideal point for
installation of the photovoltaic panel and the location for the battery, tak-
ing into consideration the following restraints:
a) the application limits specified in this chapter;
b) the maximum length of the power cable (3 m) and the cable of the
photovoltaic panel (3 m);
c) the space available in the vicinity of the automation to be powered.
Also check the following:
d) ensure that the selected surfaces for installation of the two devices
are solid and guarantee a stable fixture.
e) ensure that each device to be installed is in a sheltered location and
protected against the risk of accidental impact.
f) in particular, for each device ensure the following:
Photovoltaic panel
– ensure that the selected panel installation site guarantees 100%
direct exposure to sunlight (full sun) every day of the year.
– ensure that the selected panel installation site is far from vegetation,
walls or other situations that may create shade, even partial, on the
sensitive surfaces of the panel.
Caution! – this surface must be exposed to direct sunlight in all
points; partial shade, even if small in size (for example caused by
a leaf or other object) will significantly reduce the power capaci-
ty of the panel.
– check the possibility of correctly positioning and inclining the panel,
with reference to the technical instructions in Chapter 5.
Battery
To ensure optimal efficiency of the battery and prolonged battery life-
time, it should be installed in a location – in the vicinity of the automa-
tion to be powered – protected against high summer temperatures
and low winter temperatures.
In fact the battery charge performance depends on the ambient
temperature where the battery is installed: optimal efficiency is
obtained at medium temperatures, while efficiency is considerably
reduced at low temperatures.
On the other hand, battery lifetime is influenced above all by high
summer temperatures, which accelerate part ageing. Normally the
average lifetime is approx. 4-5 years; this also depends on the inten-
sity of automation use.
