Step 7: Calibration

Your SamYSolar+® uses an electronic compass sensor (among other things) to keep
the solar module correctly aimed towards the sun at all times. This sensor has been
calibrated at the factory, so the system should work without problems in most ca-
ses. However, motor vehicles often exert a certain influence on the function of the
compass sensor by slightly distorting the geomagnetic field.

Your system uses an automatic calibration routine to continuously adapt to any
changes in conditions. This means that when the system is in normal operating
mode, you can always rely on the solar panel being correctly aligned towards the
sun. However, it is completely impossible to anticipate the magnitude of any exter-
nal influence on the system in every specific case. We therefore recommend that a
one-off calibration of the system is performed after installation. In cases where the
system detects a strong external influence, this calibration will be expressly reques-
ted by the microprocessor.
The actual calibration is performed by slowly and steadily driving two complete cir-
cles with your vehicle. The system then determines the external influences so that
they can subsequently be compensated for.
To perform the calibration you will need a large enough open space where you can
perform the manoeuvre without disturbing or obstructing other road users.
To perform the calibration, start the vehicle in a suitable place. The control panel
should now display the message .

Now press key repeatedly until the message is shown in the
display. You can now start the calibration mode by pressing the and buttons at
the same time. The message is displayed as confirmation.
CALIBRATE
Next, slowly complete 2 full circles with the vehicle. It does not matter whether
you do this clockwise or anti-clockwise. However, it is important that the circles
are smooth, with no zigzagging. The calibration is complete after two circles, after
which the system automatically exits the calibration mode.
