Adding Or Removing Devices - Nice Mhouse SL1S Instructions D'installation Et D'utilisation

The PF solar power system enables complete power autonomy of the
automation, until the energy produced by the photovoltaic panel and
stored in the battery remains above the amount consumed during gate
manoeuvres. A simple calculation enables an estimate of the maximum
number of cycles per day performed by the automation in a certain period
of the year, provided that a positive energy balance is maintained.
The first step in calculating the energy available, is dealt with in the
PF instruction manual; the second step in calculating the energy con-
sumed and therefore the maximum number of cycles per day, is dealt
with in this chapter.
Calculating the energy available
To calculate the energy available (refer also to the PF instruction manual)
proceed as follows:
01. On the terrestrial map supplied in the PF kit instruction manual,
locate the point of system installation; then read the value Ea and
the degrees of latitude of this location (E.g. Ea = 14 and degrees =
45°N)
02. On the graphs (North or South) supplied in the PF kit instruction man-
ual, locate the curve for the location's latitude (e.g. 45°N)
03. Choose the period of the year on which to base the calculation, or
select the lowest point of the curve to calculate the worst period
of the year; then read the corresponding value Am (e.g. December,
January: Am= 200)
04. Calculate the value of energy available Ed (produced by the panel)
multiplying Ea x Am = Ed (e.g.Ea = 14; Am = 200 therefore Ed =
2800)
Calculating the energy consumed
To calculate the energy consumed by the automation, proceed as follows:
05. On the table below, select the box corresponding to the intersection
between the line with the weight and the column with the opening
angle of the gate leaf. The box contains the value of the severity
index (K) for each manoeuvre (e.g. SL1S with a leaf of 250 Kg and
opening of 3.5 m; K = 200).

10.3 - ADDING OR REMOVING DEVICES

An automation using SL1S-SL10S enables devices to be added or
removed at any time.
Caution! - Do not add devices before ensuring that they are fully
compatible with SL1S-SL10S; for further details, contact the NICE
technical assistance.

06. On the table A below, select the box corresponding to the intersec-
tion between the line with the Ed value and the column with the K
value. The box contains the maximum possible number of cycles per
day (e.g. Ed = 2800 and K= 200; cycles per day ≈ 14)
If the number obtained is too low for the envisaged use or is located in the
"area not recommended for use", the use of 2 or more photovoltaic pan-
els may be considered, or the use of a photovoltaic panel with a higher
power. Contact the Nice technical assistance service for further informa-
tion.
The method described enables the calculation of the maximum possible
number of cycles per day that can be completed by the automation while
running on solar power. The calculated value is considered an average
value and the same for all days of the week. Considering the presence
of the battery, which acts as an energy "storage depot", and the fact that
the battery enables automation autonomy also for long periods of bad
weather (when the photovoltaic panel produces very little energy) it may
be possible to exceed the calculated maximum possible number of cycles
per day, provided that the average of 10-15 days remains within the envis-
aged limits.
Table B below specifies the maximum possible number of cycles,
according to the manoeuvre's severity index (K), using exclusively the
energy stored by the battery. It is considered that initially the battery
is completely charged (e.g. after a prolonged period of good weather or
recharging via the optional PCB power supply unit) and that the manoeu-
vres are performed within a period of 30 days.
When the battery runs out of the stored energy, the led starts to indicate
the battery low signal by flashing briefly every 5 seconds, accompanied
by a "beep".

10.3.1 - ECSBus
ECSBus is a system that enables connections of ECSBus devices using
just two wires, which convey both electrical power and communication
signals. All devices are connected in parallel on the same 2 wires of the
ECSBus; each device is recognised individually as it is assigned a unique
address during installation.
