Calibration

Objective / topic
Your SamYSolar+® uses an electronic compass sensor (among other things) to keep
the solar module correctly aimed towards the sun at all times.
E
This sensor has been calibrated at the factory, so the system should work wit-
hout problems in most cases.
However, motor vehicles often exert a certain infl uence on the function of the
compass sensor by slightly distorting the geomagnetic fi eld.
Your system uses an automatic calibration routine to continuously adapt to any
changes in conditions. This means that when the system is in normal operating
mode, you can always rely on the solar panel being correctly aligned towards the
sun. However, it is completely impossible to anticipate the magnitude of any exter-
nal infl uence on the system in every specifi c case.
We therefore recommend that a one-off calibration of the system is performed
after installation.
In cases where the system detects a strong external infl uence, this calibration will
be expressly requested by the microprocessor.
Condition / preparation:
To perform the calibration you will need a large enough open space where you can
perform the manoeuvre without disturbing or obstructing other road users.
Procedure:
To perform the calibration, start the vehicle in a suitable place. The control panel

Repeatedly press until the message appears on the display.
You can now start the calibration mode by pressing the and buttons at the
