General

Product contents

  • Energy unit including rechargeable battery with integrated protection circuit (pre-charged, ready for use)
  • 2 wall holders and 4 plugs for slotted holes
  • 1 connector for connecting cable of drive
  • 4 screws and wall plugs (in assembly kit)
  • Assembly instructions 13 829.4401

Intended use

  • The elero energy unit (hereafter referred to as the “device”) consists of a solar panel for transforming sunlight into elec-trical energy and a built-in rechargeable battery that stores this energy. The energy unit may only be used to operate a single elero 12 Volt
  • DC drive for sun shading systems.
  • Do not combine RolSolar type drives to the energy unit, as these contain their own charging control on the circuit board
  • Only combine a single unidirectional radio drive and a unidirectional radio transmitter from elero to form the energy unit

Exclusion of liability

  • elero accepts no liability whatsoever for personal injury or damage caused by uses other than those listed above, modifications to the device, incorrect use and/or failure to observe the instructions. Liability for material defects is excluded in such cases.

Safety instructions

CAUTION

  • General safety instructions for use, including installation of sun protection systems and accessories, can be found in the “Safety instructions” leaflet supplied with each drive. Please read these assembly instructions carefully as the procedure in this manual is a prerequisite for correct use of the product.
  • Some components of electrical/electronic systems or devices carry dangerous voltages during operation. Any intervention by unqualified personnel or failure to comply with warnings may lead to personal injury or material damage.
  • Figures included are for illustration purposes only. The illustrations may differ from your product with respect to minor details and are provided for general information only. elero GmbH is continually striving to improve all products. As a result, the specifications, features and technology of this product may be changed at any time. The information provided is based on current information at the time of publication.
  • No claims can be derived from the technical data, images and information in this manual.

Assembly

  • 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.
  • Ideally, the energy unit should be installed close to the drive. Do not exceed the maximum length of the connecting cable of the drive or radio receiver Combio-868 JA DC. Install the unit horizontally only.
  • Before mounting, make sure that the end cover with snap-in function and the cover flap are securely positioned on the aluminium profile.
  • Before mounting, make sure that the end cover with snap-in function and the cover cap are securely positioned on the aluminium profile.
  • A. Mount the two holders as shown in the following diagram at a distance of 497 mm from each other, if possible on a smooth surface. For wall mounting, align the holders vertically. Before final installation, check the drill hole location for suitability (installation surface) and structural stability. If necessary, use longer screws and wall plugs than those provided. Close the fixing holes of the two wall holders with the cover caps (item ⑬).
  • B. Insert the aluminium profile of the energy unit into the wall holders.
  • C. Adjust the length of the connecting cable of the drive as necessary. Remove the connector from the supplied assembly kit and install it on the connecting cable as shown in “Socket pin assignment” (see reverse side).
  • D. Insert the connector of the connecting cable of the drive (or the elero Combio-868 JA DC) into the socket of the energy unit and screw it on.
  • NOTICE:
  • Once the plug is plugged in, the drive or Combio-868 JA DC is live and ready for use.
  • E. To program the drive resp. radio receiver Combio-868 JA DC, see the manual of drive resp. radio receiver manual.elero-22-150-0001-Energy-Unit-FIG-2

Socket pin assignment

The brown, white and blue wires are connected to one terminal inside the device (consolidated as a positive terminal in one connection terminal). Wiring is now completed.

Important:

  • After completing the wiring or replacing the rechargeable battery, always check that the drive direction (extension or retraction) is correctly assigned to the [UP ▲] and [DOWN ▼] buttons.
  • The correct assignment is determined by whether the drive is installed on the right or left side.
  • If the direction is incorrectly assigned, do not swap the positive and negative terminals inside the device. Instead, re-program the radio drive or the elero Combio-868 JA DC or adjust the [UP ▲] and [DOWN ▼] assignment in the switching unit (venetian blind button/switch).

Replacing the rechargeable battery

  1. Unscrew the connecting cable with Quickon connector of the drive from the energy unit and pull it out.
  2. Remove the energy unit from the wall holders.
  3. Open the power unit: On the side with the connection socket, pull out the black cover cap together with the connection socket forcefully but carefully.
  4. Slide the accumulator including cables and terminals out through the opening downwards.
    • CAUTION
    • Danger of short circuit.
    • Take the necessary precautions in the presence of electrical low voltages.
  5. Disconnect the connection terminals Wago single on the rechargeable battery and correctly reconnect them after replacing the battery.
    • Remove the connection terminal of the red positive terminal of the new battery.
    • Connect the free red wire of the new battery to the positive terminal of the 5-pin connection terminal.
    • Remove the connection terminal of the black negative terminal of the new battery.
    • Connect the black wire of the new battery to the negative terminal of the connection terminal (black wire) (“black to black”).
    • Use the other two terminals of the new battery as short circuit protection on the old battery.
  6. Carefully push the battery along with the cables and connection terminals back into the housing.
  7. Carefully place the end plug on the housing without pinching the cables and snap it into place.
  8. Insert the energy unit back into the holders.
  9. For optimum efficiency, align the energy unit with the panel surface as perpendicular as possible to the direction of the incident solar rays.
  10. Re-insert the connector of the connecting cable of the drive (or the elero Combio-868 JA DC) into the socket of the energy unit and screw it on.

The drive is now ready for use again.
Maximum storage time of the rechargeable battery before first charging: 6 months at 20 °C. The built-in rechargeable battery will be discharged after that.

Installation instructions and improvement of the solar yield

1. Roof overhangs or similar structures Ensure that the solar panel has an unob­ structured orientation to the sky. We recom­ mend an overhang less than double of the distance towards the roof overhang.| elero-22-150-0001-Energy-
Unit-FIG-4

2. Obstacles opposite the solar panel|
Obstacles directly op­posite the solar panel efficiency of the system. For sufficient charging recommend a minimum distance according to the picture shown beside.| elero-22-150-0001-Energy-Unit-FIG-5

3. Limited view of the sky Obstacles and over­ hangs often occur in combination. In such a case, make sure that the unobstructed visi­ bility angle to the sky is at least 60°.|
4. 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.|
