APOLO
KIT APOLO is a solar energy system for low voltage (LV) automations. Suitable for gates far from the electrical network and to simplify installations when it is impossible to pass electrical cables. The controller allows switching off the engine control board whenever it is in standby. In this way, all automation components are without power, leading to energy savings, increasing energy efficiency and battery life. Other features that stand out:
- Durability and longer battery life
- Includes battery discharge protection system
- Superior battery capacity – 12Ah
- Ease of installation
- Provides more savings and energy efficiency
CONFIGURATION INFORMATION
For a better configuration of the system, we recommend that you activate the
automatic closing setting for the shortest possible time, so that the control
board does not remain connected for too long to power the accessories
continuously. If it is a door that remains open for long periods, you can use
the opening limit switch or the multifunction outputs and send a signal to the
APOLO KIT control board (MCHSOLAR) to turn it off when it is in the
open position.
However, if you use a continuous external impulse such as, for example, a
timer clock and the control board does not switch off on opening, remove the
impulse for it to close again using the automatic closing logic.
Whenever sun exposure is less than 20 hours/15 days, it is prudent to place 2
panels in parallel, in order to obtain a higher charging current and,
consequently, a faster battery charge.
It is only possible to use door
status input in MCHSOLAR, when the motors have limit switches on opening and
closing. If the motors do not have limit switches (e.g.: swing gate motors),
the closing order can only be sent via the multifunctional outputs or using
position sensors or magnetic contacts. The use of automatic closing is also
required in this mode.

INSTALLATION
The orientation and inclination of the solar panel depends on where you are in the world. In the northern hemisphere, the panel must face south and vice versa.
The solar panel should be located in a shade-free area, away from trees and tall structures, which could create shade at some time of the day or year.
It is extremely important to remember that the path of the sun is higher
during the summer months and there may not be as many shadows in a given area,
but in winter there is, due to the fact that the sun is lower. Also, trees can
grow and create larger shadows over time.
PANEL TILT BY LOCATION

SOLAR PANEL FIXING SUPPORT
-
BOX
PANEL SUPPORT FIXATION
-
Fix the fixing plate (A) to the wall, using the screws (not included) indicated for the surface.
-
Place the support (B) on the already fixed plate, with the screws (M5 x 12mm DIN912) that come with the product.
-
Place the panel on the support and fix it with the screws (M5 x 12mm DIN912) that come with the product.
Possibility of fixing to a tube,
with the aid of clamps (not included), as in the side image.
BOX FIXATION
- Fix the box in an area close to the solar panel, making the necessary holes with screws indicated for the surface.
BATTERY CONNECTION
Batteries are shipped from
the factory with the connection cable disconnected, so as not to waste
energy during transport. In the image, check the cable (K) that
interconnects the 2 batteries and must be connected.
The APOLO system is only
compatible with Motor line or 12 Bits remote controls
PROGRAMMING REMOTE CONTROLS FOR FULL OPENING
- Press the LEARN button once, the LED will flash with an interval of 0.5 seconds.
- Press the remote control button you want to program.Press the remote control button you want to program.
PROGRAMMING REMOTE CONTROLS FOR PEDESTRIAN OPENING
- Press the LEARN button for 2 seconds until the LED flashes at a 0.2 second interval
- Press the remote control button you want to program
- The LED will be on for 2 seconds to confirm the operation.
ERASE ALL THE REMOTE CONTROLS
- Press the LEARN button for 10 seconds.
- The LED will be on for 2 seconds to con firm the operation.
PROGRAMMING
CONTINUOUS / LOW CONSUMPTION POWER SUPPLY
In order to be able to program
the course in the control board, the supply needs to be continuous and without
interruption, so there is a jumper that allows you to define whether the
output has continuous supply or low consumption.
POWER SUPPLY
CONTINUOUS| LOW CONSUMPTION
(JMP)| (JMP)
- Jumper (JMP) in position 1-2 provides continuous power to the control panel.
- When programming is finished, place the jumper (JMP) in position 2-3, so that the control board can enter low consumption mode.
The jumper leaves the factory
with continuous power.
DELAY ADJUSTMENT
When BOX APOLO receives an order, it supplies power to the engine control board and transmits the received order.
After the control board receives power, it may take a few seconds until it goes into standby and can receive maneuver orders (depending on the unit used). This will lead to a delay between the order given by BOX APOLO and the control board. This time must be adjusted using the ON Delay potentiometer.
When the automation completes the closing maneuver, BOX APOLO switches off the motor control board after the time set on the SD Delay potentiometer.
- Adjust the opening order delay time (0 to 10 seconds).
- Adjust the delay time after the motor completes the closing maneuver until the power supply to the control board is cut off.
BATTERY
CHECK BATTERY STATUS
If APOLO BOX receives a maneuver order and the battery does not have enough charge (min. 22V), it will ignore the order received and the LED will flash 3 times with an interval of 0.2 seconds, to signal that the battery is discharged.
In a situation where it is already supplying power to execute a maneuver and the battery charge is not enough (below 22V for 2 consecutive minutes), the control board will automatically cut the power supply to prevent damage to the battery.
