Caution! Never install the solar panel(s) behind glass, or in
the shade. Always leave the photovoltaic cells unobstructed,
do not put anything in front of them.
The three components that make up the Oximo 40
WireFree™ RTS kit must be installed on the same side as
the roller shutter.
Somfy recommends that all components be fitted
systematically to the left of the roller shutter, even when
fitting a solar panel. If it proves necessary to fit a second
solar panel, it would no longer be possible if the components
are fitted on the right hand side of the roller shutter.
3.2 Mounting the solar panel(s)
Caution! Do not damage the cables during installation.
Deburr all drill holes.
Caution! Mount the solar panel the right way round, it must
be inclined upwards.
3.2.1 Rivet mounting
Somfy recommends rivet mounting the solar panel(s), to
ensure a secure hold over time.
3.2.1.1 Scenario with 1 solar panel
Drill 1 hole with diameter 15 mm (A) and 2 holes with
1)
diameter 4.2 mm (B) on the front of the casing, as per the
diagram opposite.
Feed through the solar panel wire inside the casing via
2)
the drilled hole (A).
Protect the wire from the hole edges by positioning the
3)
protective foam at that point.
Mount the solar panel in the two drilled holes (B), using
4)
aluminium pop rivets with diameter 4 mm and max length
6 mm.
Remove the protective film from the photovoltaic cells.
5)
3.2.1.2 Scenario with 2 solar panels
Always place the two solar panels one beside the other,
rather than one on top of the other.
Drill 1 hole with diameter 15 mm (C) and 4 holes with
1)
diameter 4.2 mm (D) on the front of the casing, as per the
diagram opposite.
Cut the notch situated beside the cable output on the
2)
right-hand solar panel.
Cut the notch situated on the opposite site from the cable
3)
output on the left-hand solar panel.
Caution! Do not scratch or damage the solar panel.
Feed the wire from the right-hand solar panel into the
4)
notch made.
Mount the right-hand solar panel in the 2 drilled holes on
5)
the right (D), using aluminium pop rivets with diameter 4
mm and max length 6 mm.
