• The automation control unit does not turn on and the led
remains off.
This may be caused by incorrect connections or electric wires not
fully inserted. Otherwise the battery may be totally discharged, in
which case no signal can be sent: in this case a rapid recharge is
required by means of power supply unit (mod. PBC) or wait for the
photovoltaic panel (connected correctly) to recharge the battery.
• The battery tends to discharge too quickly.
This may depend on excessive ageing of the battery, in which case it
should be replaced; otherwise it may be due to excessively intensive
use of the automation, over the application limits envisaged in this
manual, found in chapter 3.
Otherwise the automation may not be compatible for operation with
PF, or the automation is incorrectly configured for low consumption,
or too many accessories are connected.
In general, this product does not require special maintenance; how-
ever, regular checks over time will ensure system efficiency.
Therefore, to ensure correct maintenance, check every 6 months
that the photovoltaic panel has not accumulated dirt (leaves, sand,
etc.) as this may reduce efficiency.
Also check whether battery replacement is required, as the ageing
process reduces autonomy over time.
Take into account that 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: The ideal situation is to avoid excessive dis-
charging of the battery due to very frequent and repetitive manoeu-
vre cycles over periods of time.
Product disposal
This product is an integral part of the automation and therefore
must be disposed together with the latter.
As in installation, also at the end of product lifetime, the disassembly
and scrapping operations must be performed by qualified personnel.
This product comprises various types of materials: some may be
recycled others must be disposed of. Seek information on the recy-
