When the automation is powered by the solar panel, 60 seconds after a
manoeuvre is completed, the control unit automatically switches off the
"ECSbus" output (and all connected devices), Flash output and all LEDs,
with the exception of the ECSbus LED, which flashes at slower intervals;
this indicates the "Standby" function. When the control unit receives a

9.2.3 - Calculation of maximum number of cycles per day
This product is specifically designed to operate also with the PF solar
power supply system. Special technical measures are in place to minimise
energy consumption when the automation is stationary, by turning off all
devices not essential to operation (for example photocells and the key-
operated selector switch). In this way all energy available and stored in the
battery is used to move the gate.
Warning! - When the automation is powered by the solar power
system IT MUST NEVER BE POWERED at the same time by the
mains supply.
Usage limits: maximum number of cycles per day, in a given period of
the year.
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 part of the available energy calculation, is explained in the
instructions manual; the second part of the energy consumed calcula-
tion and therefore, the maximum number of cycles per day, is explained
in this chapter.
Establish how much energy is available
To calculate how much energy is available (also see the solar power sup-
ply's instruction manual) proceed as follows:
01. In the ground map supplied in the PF kit instruction manual, locate
the system installation point; then obtain the value of Ea and the
14 – English
command, it restores normal operation (with a short delay). This function
is used to reduce consumption; an important factor when the unit is pow-
ered by photovoltaic panels.

degrees of latitude of the location (e.g. Ea = 14 and degrees =
45°N)
02. In the graphs (North or South) shown in the PF kit instruction manual,
locate the curve which relates to the degrees of latitude of the posi-
tion (ex. 45°N)
03. Choose the period of the year for which you wish to do the calcula-
tion, or choose the lowest point of the curve if you wish to carry
out the calculation for the harshest period of the year; then find the
corresponding Am value (i.e., December, January: Am= 200)
04. Calculate the available energy value Ed (produced by the panel) by
multiplying: Ea x Am = Ed (i.e. Ea = 14; Am = 200 thus Ed = 2800)
Establish how much energy is consumed
To calculate the energy consumed by the automation, proceed as follows:
05. From the table below, choose the box where the weight row inter-
sects with the column with the opening angle of the gate. The box
contains the severity index (K) for each manoeuvre (i.e. motor with
180 kg leaf and opening of 95°; K = 105).
