GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
AND PRECAUTIONS
The design and manufacture of the devices making up the Solemyo
system and the information in this manual fully comply with current
standards 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 strictly 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.
– If the power cable in the pack is used outdoors, it must be entirely
protected with special ducting suitable for the protection of electric
cables.
– 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 system, 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 spec-
ified in this manual. Operations other than as specified can cause malfunc-
tions. The manufacturer declines all liability for damage caused by
makeshift modifications to the devices.
– never place devices near to sources of heat and never expose to naked
flames. This may damage system components and cause malfunctions,
fire or hazardous situations.
– ensure that the devices cannot come into contact with water or other liq-
uids. During installation ensure that no liquids penetrate the devices
present.
– the device 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 device mainte-
nance and disposal procedures.
KNOWLEDGE OF THE SYSTEM AND
PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
1 – Description and intended use
SOLEMYO is an autonomous power system designed for Nice auto mations
for gates and garage doors (the list of compatible automations is provided on
the sheet in the product pack and 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 various
devices of the system and other than as specified in this manual.
The Solemyo system is particularly suitable for power supply to automations
located far from the fixed power mains.
It comprises 3 standard devices, the combination of which enables different
configurations, able to store solar energy or electrical mains energy for use
when required by the automation on which the system is installed.
The various system devices are available in the following packs:
- PSY24: the core of the system. This device can store electrical energy pro-
duced by SYP during the hours of sunlight, making it available at any time of
day, including days with adverse weather conditions. The same device can
also store energy from the fixed electrical mains, via SYA1. The pack con-
tains the PSY24 battery, cables, connectors for automation connections, fix-
ing hardware and this manual;
- SYP: this is a device able to convert sunlight directly into electrical energy.
The pack contains a SYP photovoltaic panel, for recharging PSY24, and fix-
ing hardware;
- SYKCE: this is a complete kit for autonomous photovoltaic power supply.
The pack contains the PSY24 and SYP devices, cables, connectors for
automation connections, fixing hardware and this manual;
- SYA1: this device enables periodic or emergency recharging of PSY24 via
the electrical mains in a protected environment. The pack contains a SYA1
battery charger.
2 – Preliminay installation checks
To ascertain suitability of the system with respect to the specific features 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 "Techni-
cal characteristics".
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, taking
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 photo-
voltaic 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 pro-
tected against the risk of accidental impact.
f) in particular, for each device ensure the following:
SYP 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 sensi-
tive 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 capacity of
the panel.
– check the possibility of correctly positioning and inclining the panel,
with reference to the technical instructions in Chapter 4.
PSY24 battery
To ensure optimal efficiency of the battery and prolonged battery lifetime, it
should be installed in a location – in the vicinity of the automation to be
powered – protected against high summer temperatures and low winter
temperatures.
In fact the battery charge performance depends on the ambient temper-
ature where the battery is installed: optimal efficiency is obtained at medi-
um temperatures, while efficiency is considerably reduced at low temper-
atures.
On the other hand, battery lifetime is influenced above all by high sum-
