Each unit can activate from 1 min. up to 4 max. motors.
Operation of motors is sequential, not simultaneous.
PLEASE NOTE: Control system can be automatised if properly connected to a solar control unit STECA
mod. 502 and 503 or PB 404.
IMPORTANT DATA CONCERNING ELECTRIC MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Each motor is supplied ith a 20 mt po er cable and connection to control unit; such length is
dimensioned for a proper system functioning.
The mark of control unit considers motors connection by using the supplied electric cable.
ATTENTION. In case of modifications to the length of electric cables of motors:
−the mark of control unit ceases;
−electrical connections must be redesigned according to ne lengths;
−lifeline protection level and system phase displacement must be checked again;
−a ne certificate of compliance concerning the electric system must be issued by a qualified and

4. INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLY AND STARTING
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE ADDRESSED TO QUALIFIED TECHNICAL PERSONNEL.
In order to facilitate the installation operations and ensure the proper system functioning, it is
recommended to follo those instructions and cautions.
4.1 SETUP AND WIRING
1. Ensure that the appliance has been kept intact, a ay
from damages during transportation.
2. Choose the suitable position to place the electricity
box, according to the distance from solar control
unit and ECLIPSE solar collectors. Control unit does
not need any maintenance service, but it has to be
placed a ay from direct eather agents.
3. Open the cover by unscre ing the n.4
locking scre s. For a more
comfortable ay of ork, you should
remove the cover from the box base.
4. Place the appliance box in the chosen
position and use a pencil to dra the
drill hole on the support (wall or
other).
5. Drill ith a drill bit diameter corresponding to the all plug or fixing scre .
6. Mount the appliance box, by fixing all scre s permanently.
7. Open ith a cutter or a pair of scissors the rubber cable gland, for running all connection cables. During
the drilling process, pay special care not to touch the electronic board ith the blade as that could
cause irreversible damages.

8. Complete the electrical iring path and make the proper electrical connections by follo ing the iring
diagram on page 13. To facilitate the electrical connections gently remove the electrical junction boxes
and then replace them properly.
4.2 RESET AND FIRST TURN ON
The control unit is able to operate properly only if at the time of first turn on all the plastic layers are on
the back of the solar collector. In order to check this alignment, the control unit contains the "RESET"
function.
The "RESET" function checks - in sequence - the position of the plastic layers fixed to each collector/motor
and opens the layers completely, irrespective of the position they are. The "RESET" function goes on about
40 seconds; it’s very important to ait until the end of the process and not activate any control before.
The "RESET" function has to be run al ays at the first turn on of the control unit and hen it’s not kno n
the position of the plastic layers (for example after a maintenance operation).
To run the "RESET":
1. the control unit has to be not po ered (Schuko disconnected);
2. S itch all DIP s itches (SW1) as sho n in the table belo (up ords).
3. Plug the all socket Schüko to po er the control unit. The BLUE led on the front cover lights up and
the RED led starts flashing for about 40 seconds: the control unit rotates the plastic layers on the
backside of each solar collector connected, in sequence.
4. When the RED led goes out the "RESET" is finished; cut the po er by disconnecting the all socket
Schüko.

4.3 PROGRAMMING
The control unit is equipped ith a protection system that allo s to exclude the motors ith anomalies.
For the correct operation it is necessary to enable the motors connected to the control unit, s itching the
micros itches (SW1), depending on the number of motors connected, as sho n in the chart belo .
PLEASE NOTE: The programming of the control unit can be performed only when it is not powered
(Schuko disconnected). The programming will have no effect if it’s done without first disconnect the
power.
PLEASE NOTE: For the correct operation of the encoder, except for the "RESET" function, micros itches n.
5 and n. 6 must be placed in OFF position (do n ard).
4.4 STARTING
Completed the programming of the control unit:
1. close the cover by connecting the electrical junction box of the buttons, keep the proper mounting
direction and scre the n.4 locking scre s;
2. connect the plug to a Schüko socket and po er the control unit;
3. run the test by checking the light blue LED, as indicator of correct po er supply and functioning.

4.5 SUPPLEMENTARY CONNECTIONS
1. Connection in series of multiple control units
For connection in series of multiple control units, it is necessary to connect W and Z terminals of the
upstream control unit to A and B terminals of the do nstream control unit (see diagram belo ).
In this ay, the over temperature input signal is replicated on each cascade control unit, by using a single
solar control unit.
2. Switching-off remote control (holiday function)
The forced s itching-off control can be remoted at distance by the control unit (for ex. in the house), by
connecting to C and D terminals an I/O s itch (as iring diagram on page 13).
The s itching-off of the s itch ill activate motors and make the plastic covering layers close; hen
s itching-on the s itch, the signal functioning coming from the solar control unit is restored.
Conditions for the s itching-off control use are the same as for the manual mode functioning (see section
5.2).
3. Anomalies alarm remote signal
In order to display any kind of anomaly, the alarm control can be remoted at distance by the control unit,
by connecting to X and Y terminals a arning signal (flashing light or beeper) and follo ing the iring
diagram on page 13.
