Frequently Asked Questions - PPIC90600 ABUS

How to orient the solar panel for optimal performance?

In the northern hemisphere, orient the panel towards the south; in the southern hemisphere, towards the north. Tilt it approximately 30° from horizontal to maximize sun exposure.

Can I use this solar panel with any ABUS camera?

This panel is specially designed for ABUS WiFi Cam cameras with built-in battery. It replaces the original red cover and connects via a micro-USB cable.

What should I do if the camera battery does not charge in sunny weather?

Check that the operating mode is set to "Solar" in the app (Menu > Settings > Advanced settings > Operating mode). Also ensure the micro-USB cable is fully inserted and the panel is clean.

How to ensure watertightness of the micro-USB connection?

Firmly insert the micro-USB plug into the camera port, then ensure the rubber seals are properly positioned. If the plug is not connected, replace the rubber cap on the red cover.

Does the solar panel work in cloudy weather?

Yes, but electricity production is reduced. A few hours of sunlight per day are generally enough to fully recharge the battery. Weather and seasonal conditions affect performance.

What is the recommended tilt angle?

Tilt the panel approximately 30° from an imaginary horizontal line. This angle allows capturing maximum sunlight throughout the day.

How to clean the solar panel?

Regularly remove dust and dirt with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive products that could scratch the surface and reduce efficiency.

Why does charging stop below 0 °C?

To protect the camera battery, charging is automatically interrupted when the temperature is below 0 °C. The battery could be damaged if charged in very cold weather.

Is the solar panel cable long enough?

The cable is 3 meters long, allowing you to move the panel away from the camera if necessary. Use the provided cable ties to secure the cable and avoid tension.

How to install the new red cover provided?

First remove the original red cover from the camera by pulling on the rubber anchor. Then insert the new cover, making sure it is perfectly flat and centered to ensure watertightness. Use a small screwdriver to help position the rubber fastener.

Safety information

INSTALLATION

Consider the following factors when positioning the solar panel.

These factors can affect the solar panel's efficiency:

• Mount the solar panel in a place that receives a steady level of sunlight all year round. For a charged camera battery, usually only a few hours of direct sunlight per day are enough.
• Weather conditions, seasonal changes and geographical location will affect the solar panel's power generation.
• Dirt or debris on the panel can adversely affect the absorption of sunlight.

1

Mark the position of the required 3 drill holes at the desired location, using the drilling template or the wall bracket and a pencil or other utensil to do so. You can unscrew the bracket to do this. When choosing a location, also consider the maximum length of the solar panel cable.

Drill the holes and insert the screw anchors provided.

Secure the wall bracket with the enclosed screws.

2

Turn the ball joint of the bracket with the thread into the corresponding opening on the back of the solar panel. Tighten the enclosed union nut so that the ball joint and solar panel are firmly connected.

3

Finely adjust the solar panel so that it receives as much sunlight as possible throughout the day. We recommend tilting the solar panel at an angle of approx. 30° to an imaginary horizontal line. Now tighten the ball joint with the wing screw.

4

On the back of your WiFi Battery Cam, completely remove the original red cover by pulling out the rubber anchor of the red cover completely.

INSTALLATION

Insert the new red cover that came with the solar panel so that the new cover sits completely plane to the back of the WLAN Battery Cam and ensures waterproofing.

Tip: To position the small rubber anchor on the inside of the new cover, you can use a narrow object, such as a very small screwdriver. Make sure that the anchor holds the new red cover securely.

Important: To ensure the required watertightness, the new cover must sit flat and centered all around with no bulging.

Connect the micro USB plug of the solar panel cable to the micro USB port of the Wi-Fi battery cam. Make sure that the connector is properly and firmly seated. Also make sure that the rubber seals are seated correctly to ensure waterproofness. Tip: In the live view of the app, you can see via the battery symbol - similar to the charging of a smartphone - as soon as the solar panel charges the camera battery in sunshine.

Once all the components have been assembled, check again that the new cover on the back of the camera and the micro-USB connector are fitted tightly so that the connection is waterproof. Depending on the mounting situation on site: You can use the cable clamps to fix the cable between the solar panel and the camera to provide strain relief or as desired.

COMMISSIONING

For operation with solar panel please ensure:

App

- App2Cam Plus -

•The latest firmware version must be installed on your WLAN base station and WLAN battery cam.

Check version? In the app, follow the path:

Overview -> Menu -> Settings -> Advanced Settings ->

Camera 1 or 2 Settings -> Operating Mode

IMPORTANT NOTES

The best location for your solar panel is where...

√ it is installed so that it receives as much sunlight as possible throughout the day: usually facing the south if in the northern hemisphere (e.g. in Europe, North America, Asia), or facing the north if in the southern hemisphere (e.g. in South America, Australia).
√ It is aligned at an angle of approx. 30° (in relation to an Imaginary horizontal line)

Also note the following:

• Regularly remove dust and dirt from the solar panel.
- When the temperature drops below 0°C , the camera is no longer charged via the solar panel so as to protect the battery
- Make sure the micro USB plug is properly inserted into the micro USB port of the camera for proper waterproofing.
- If the micro USB plug is not connected to the micro USB port, you must correctly place the rubber cap on the red cover of the camera for the required waterproofness.
- For information on the ABUS WiFi Battery Cam with base station, please refer to the camera's operating instructions.
