LED unit 7 Motion detector 8 ON / OFF switch 9 Light ON time adjustment knob 10 Sensitivity adjustment knob CHARGING THE SOLAR LIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME Before you can use your solar light it must be charged using the solar module. Connect the solar module cable with the main unit. The ON / OFF switch on the main unit must be set to OFF. Put the solar module in a location where it will get maximum exposure to direct sunlight. Refer to the notes on suitable installation locations in the following section. Depending on the season, the weather and the location of the solar module charging may take up to 4 days before the light is ready for use.

Main Unit: The main unit contains the light, the motion detector and the batteries. Please note when installing the main unit that the monitoring range of the motion detector is a maximum of 180º

ithin an 10-metre range, depending on installation height. Use the screws included in the package (item 3 on the parts list) for installing the light on a firm surface, such as a wall. Use screws and screw anchors that are suitable for the installation surface. Installation:

• Loosen the screw (Fig. 1) of the wall bracket

• Press the release button on the top side (Fig. 2) and open the cover by pulling the wall bracket

It converts sunlight into electricity and charges the batteries. Please keep in mind when installing the solar module that the photovoltaic cell works best in DIRECT SUNLIGHT. The longer the photovoltaic cell is exposed to direct sunlight, the longer the light can be used. Ideally, the solar module should face south in order to capture direct solar radiation. Avoid shade of any kind. For Central Europe, we recommend an angle of approx. 30º - 40º. Use the screws included in the package (item 3 of the parts list) to install the solar module on a firm surface, such as a wall. Use screws and screw anchors that are suitable for the installation surface. Fig. 8 Fig. 9 Fig. 10 Fig. 11 Fig. 12 Position the cable between the photovoltaic cell and the main unit and connect the cable of the main unit with that of the photovoltaic cell by connecting the plug and the socket.

ADJUSTMENT AND INITIAL OPERATION

After successful installation of the solar light the device can be adjusted in a few simple steps. Important: Make sure the solar light has been charged as described under "Charging the Solar Light for the First Time" before the light is switched on. The main unit features a switch with two settings: ON: Setting used with the motion detector. OFF: Switches off the motion detector feature / LED light. Setting used for charging. Adjusting the Motion Detector Switch the button to the ON position after initial charging has been completed. Point the motion detector in the direction you wish to monitor. Set the

adjustment knob on the back side of the motion detector to "Minimum" (-) and the LUX adjustment knob to "Light" (

). Test the detection range by slowly circling the area to be monitored. If the solar light does not light up as desired the angle of the motion detector must be adjusted. The motion detector has two adjustment knobs:

(TIME) = light ON time: The length of time the light remains on after a movement has been detected can be adjusted to anywhere between approx. 10 seconds and 1 minute. Turn the TIME LUX 043313 SOL SH_LH Einzelstrahler 17.05.13 18:43 Seite 78 TIME knob towards the (+) sign to increase the light ON time or towards the (-) sign to decrease the light ON time. Please note: The selected cycle will start after the motion detector has been triggered. The cycle starts over with each subsequent detection.

/ (LUX) = Sensitivity: The LUX adjustment knob can be used to adjust the amount of ambient light required for the device to switch on. This helps to prevent the light from switching on during daylight hours. In the (

) position the light switches on

uring the day and at night, whereas in the (

position it only comes on at night. The desired ambient light at which the unit starts operating can be adjusted with the LUX adjustment knob.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

Please note: Before replacing the battery the switch on the lamp unit must be set to OFF and the solar module must be dis- connected from the main unit. To replace the battery, open the

over of the main unit as described in Fig. 1 and 2 in the section "Main Unit". Remove the old batteries from the holder and insert new ones If possible, charge the rechargeable batteries first using a standard charger for 1.2 V AA NiMH batteries. If unable to charge the batteries with a charger please follow the instructions in the section "CHARGING THE SOLAR LIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME". Reverse the instructions to re-assemble the device. Please note: Pay attention to correct polarity when inserting the batteries. Incorrect polarity may damage the device and the batteries.

GENERAL SAFETY NOTES

1. Only use the solar module included in the delivery. Using a

different solar module may result in injuries or damage to the light and may void the warranty.

2. When installing the cable make sure it is fastened securely

and does not pose a hazard (e.g., tripping hazard). Stop using the solar light if the cable is damaged or defective. CLEANING Keep the motion detector free from dust and deposits by wiping it with a damp cloth from time to time. Do not use chemicals or abrasives to clean the device. Keep the solar module free from dirt and deposits. A dirty photovoltaic cell is unable to fully charge the batteries. This may reduce the life of the battery and result in an unreliable device. STORAGE To avoid damaging the batteries, follow these steps to store your light inside the house for longer than two or three days:

1. Turn the switch to the OFF position.

2. Store the light and the solar module in a location where they

will be exposed to sunlight or ambient light every day. The rechargeable batteries require light in order to stay charged during storage.

3. If storing the unit for an extended period it must be fully

charged every four months. Avoid long storage times to maintain performance. MALFUNCTIONS (FAILURE / CAUSE ➔ REMEDY) The light doesn't turn on when there is movement within the monitoring range. Possible Solutions: Make sure that:

The switch is in the ON position. - The LUX adjustment knob is not turned too far towards () - The motion detector is set at the correct angle for detecting movement. - The photovoltaic cell is aligned to receive as much direct sunlight as possible during the day. - The battery charge is not too low (charge over 3-4 sunny days with the switch set to OFF).

he light turns on during the day. Possible Solutions: - Make sure the LUX adjustment knob is not turned too far towards (
