1. Introduction
The Oximo WireFree™ Solar Panel is a solar panel that captures the sun's rays, converting this
energy into electrical energy to charge the Oximo WireFree™ Battery.
This will be used by the extended voltage range battery to power the Oximo 40 DC RTS low consumption motor.
These 3 components form the Oximo 40 WireFree™ RTS roller shutters motor kit.
Certain installations require two solar panels: an Oximo WireFree™ Y Cable is used for wiring the
two solar panels to the battery.
The Oximo WireFree™ Solar Panel is also referred to as "the solar panel" in this guide.
