Assembly and commissioning

Mounting the drive as well as deleting and setting the end positions (see guidance’s on RolSolar M-868 DC or RolSolar/D+ M-868 and radio transmitters).
• During initial commissioning only: the blind travels up and down briefly to signal that it is in programming mode. Transmitters can be programmed (maximum 16 pieces).

Assembly of the battery pack

Ideally, the battery pack should be installed close to the drive.
Installation of the battery pack including connector only inside the roller shutter case. The battery pack and connection cables must not be exposed to direct water contact. Attachment is carried out with the supplied retaining clips so that the blind or the winding is not affected.
Attachment with the retaining clips in such a way that the curtain or the winding is not affected.
Note:
Avoid loose hanging cables. Once the plug is connected, the drive is energised and ready to use.
Pay attention to the charge status of the battery pack.
If necessary, charge the battery pack using the charger before installing it.
Do not extend the connection line to / from the drive / battery pack / solar panel and guide it out of the winding area of the blind.
Do not replace the connection cable with Miniplug connector with an unpreassembled cable from the VariEco M DC.
Take care to ensure the connections are correct and secure.
Disconnect the battery pack from the drive before working on the drive or blind.
Only connect the drive with the power turned off.

Assembly of the solar panel

The solar panel is intended exclusively for outdoor installation. Never install it behind glass. Position the device so that it receives as much direct sunlight as possible. Avoid installing the solar panel where it can be exposed to shade.
Connector plugs must not be outdoors.
Ideally, the solar panel must be installed near the drive or on the roller shutter case.
Attachment depending on the version either by gluing (2 double-sided adhesive pads on the back) on a smooth and greaseless surface or with 2 suitable screws / blind rivets through the existing recesses. Tighten the screws carefully but not too tight.

Note: Avoid loose hanging cables.

Do not apply pressure to the battery pack in the long version in the lower area up to the beginning of the warning notice (e.g. by fastening with cable ties).

Installation instructions

The solar panel of the RolSolar system must not be shaded and must receive sufficient surrounding light. Depending on the type of motor used, adjust the power of the solar panel. Use the appropriate number of solar panels according to the following table.

Motortype|

Orientation

---|---
SOUTH| EAST| WEST| NORTH
RolSolar (/D+) M10-868| 1| 1| 1| 1 resp. 2 *
RolSolar (/D+) M20-868| 1| 2| 2| 2

Use 2 panels in case the shutter surface is above 3 m².

Assembly instructions

1| Roof overhangs or similar structures

Ensure that the solar panel has an unobstructed orientation to the sky. We recommend an overhang less than the double of the distance towards the roof overhang.

| Assembly instructions
---|---|---
2| Obstacles opposite the solar panel

Obstacles directly opposite the solar panel do reduce the solar efficiency of the system. For sufficient charging performance, we recommend a minimum distance according the picture shown beside.

| Assembly instructions
3| Limited view of the sky

Obstacles and overhangs often occur in combination. In such a case, make sure that the unobstructed visibility angle to the sky is at least 60°.

| Assembly instructions

Improving the solar performance

If the local conditions are insufficient to mount the solar panel correctly, you can make the following corrections.

1| Move the solar panel to the front of the building

If there is too much overhang, e.g. due to a balcony, you can move the panel to the front edge of the balcony. elero offers extension cables in various lengths for this purpose. Ask your elero partner for support.

|
---|---|---
2| Reallocate the solar panel to optimized position

If the panel is completely shaded, it can be moved to another building front. For this purpose, elero offers extension cables in various lengths. For mounting on plaster, use the available wall spacers for the solar panel. Ask your elero partner for support.

| Improving the solar performance
3| Double the solar power

elero solar systems can be operated with two solar panels. If the solar performance is not sufficient despite all optimization measures, a second solar panel can be installed to increase the solar performance. Ask your elero partner for support.
