6.3 - Connecting the Solemyo system
Thecontrolunitisdesignedtobepoweredwiththe“Solemyo”photovoltaic
system(photovoltaicpaneland24Vbattery).ToconnecttheSolemyobattery
to the control unit, use the socket on the control unit that is normally used for
thebufferbattery(seeparagraph6.2).
IMPORTANT!
- When the automation is powered by the “Solemyo” system, it MUST
NOT BE POWERED at the same time from the electrical mains.
- The Solemyo system can be used only if the “Everything in stand by”
function on the con trol unit is ON and the connections are as shown in
the diagram in g. 5a.
