degrees of latitude of this location
02. On the graphs (North or South) supplied in the SOLEKIT instruction
manual, locate the curve for the location's latitude (e.g: 45°N).
03. Choose the period of the year on which to base the calculation, or
select the lowest point of the curve to calculate the worst period
of the year; then read the corresponding value Am (e.g. December,
January: Am= 200).
Calculate the value of energy available Ed (produced by the panel)
multiplying Ea x Am = Ed
.
• Calculating the energy consumed
To calculate the energy consumed by the automation, proceed as follows:
05. On the table below, select the box corresponding to the intersection
between the line with the weight and the column with the opening
angle of the leaf. The box contains the value of the severity index
(K) for each manoeuvre (e.g. gearmotor with standard arm on leaf of

06. On the
select the box corresponding to the intersection
between the line with the Ed value and the column with the K value.
The box contains the maximum possible number of cycles per day
If the number obtained is too low for the envisaged use or is located in the
"area not recommended for use", the use of 2 or more photovoltaic pan-
els may be considered, or the use of a photovoltaic panel with a higher
power. Contact the Nice technical assistance service for further informa-
tion.
The method described enables the calculation of the maximum possible
number of cycles per day that can be completed by the automation while
running on solar power. The calculated value is considered an average
value and the same for all days of the week. Considering the presence
of the battery, which acts as an energy "storage depot", and the fact that
the battery enables automation autonomy also for long periods of bad
weather (when the photovoltaic panel produces very little energy) it may
be possible to exceed the calculated maximum possible number of cycles
per day, provided that the average of 10-15 days remains within the envis-
aged limits.

to the manoeuvre's severity index (K), using exclusively the energy
stored by the battery. It is considered that initially the battery is com-
pletely charged (e.g. after a prolonged period of good weather or recharg-
ing via the optional PCB power supply unit) and that the manoeuvres are

performed within a period of 30 days.
When the battery runs out of the stored energy, the led starts to indicate
by a "beep".
If the "ALTO" is used on a single leaf gate (with only one gearmotor),
the maximum possible number of cycles corresponds to the value in the
tables, multiplied by 1.5. For example, if the calculated number of cycles
is 30 and the gate has one leaf only, the number of cycles will be: 30 x
1,5 = 45.
A.6 - "Stand-by" function when the device PR200
and/or SOLEKIT is installed
When the automation is powered by the backup battery PR200 or the
photovoltaic system SOLEKIT, the "standby" function is activated auto-
matically 60 seconds after completion of an automatic manoeuvre cycle.
This turns off the "BUS" output and all connected devices, the outputs
"Flash", "Els" and all leds, with the exception of the BUS led which
user sends a command, the control unit restores power and starts the
manoeuvre
A.7 - Using the "BUS" input/output
112
Only devices compatible with ECSBus technology must be connected to
200
the terminal "BUS" (this is explained in detail in paragraph 3.3.3). Impor-

tant – Following testing of the automation, each time new devices
are connected to (or removed from) the "BUS" terminal, the learn-
ing procedure must be performed as described in paragraph A.10.
A.8 - Using the "STOP" input
STOP is the input that causes immediate shutdown of the manoeuvre
(with brief inversion). This input can be connected to devices with contact
types Normally Open, Normally Closed (NC) or devices with a constant
When set accordingly, more than one device can be connected to the
STOP input, also different from one another. For this function, refer to

Warning! – If devices with safety functions are connected to the "STOP"
input, only devices with a constant 8,2k
