Frequently Asked Questions - SOL 80 ALU IP 44 BRENNENSTUHL

How to charge the battery before first use?

Place the solar panel in direct sunlight and set the lamp switch to OFF for 3 to 4 sunny days. You can also remove the batteries and charge them with a suitable NiMH charger (AA 1.2V 2200mAh).

Why does the lamp not turn on at night despite motion detection?

Check that the switch is set to ON. Ensure the LUX setting is not too sensitive to daylight (turn the knob towards the moon icon). Also check that the batteries are sufficiently charged and the detector is aimed at the desired area.

What to do if the lamp flashes rapidly?

The batteries are probably discharged. Set the switch to OFF and fully recharge via the solar panel (3-4 days in direct sunlight). Then set back to ON.

How to adjust the lighting duration after detection?

Use the TIME knob on the motion detector. Turn towards (+) to increase the duration (up to 60 s) or towards (-) to decrease it (10 s). Each new motion restarts the activation time.

Can the lamp be used in broad daylight?

Yes, set the LUX knob to the brightest position (sun icon/). The lamp will respond to motion even in daylight. For twilight operation, turn towards the moon icon.

How to replace the batteries?

Set the switch to OFF, disconnect the cable, remove the safety screw and slide the lamp off its support. Open the battery compartment, replace with 3 NiMH AA 1.2V 2200 mAh batteries observing polarity. Recharge for 3-4 days before use.

What to do if the lamp turns on in daylight while I want night operation?

The LUX brightness threshold is too sensitive. Turn the LUX knob towards the moon icon (twilight) or further to reduce daylight sensitivity.

What is the range and angle of the motion detector?

The PIR detector has a maximum range of 10 m and a horizontal detection angle of 130° at 25°C. The recommended installation height is 2 to 2.5 m.

How to clean the solar floodlight?

Clean the solar panel and motion detector regularly with a soft damp cloth. Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaners. A clean panel ensures better charging.

What to do during prolonged storage (e.g., winter)?

Set the switch to OFF and store the device in a place where the solar panel receives minimal indirect light. Recharge the batteries every 4 months by exposing the panel to sun for 3-4 days, or remove and charge the batteries with a suitable charger.

Important information before operation:

Before first use charge the integrated rechargeable batteries. Follow these steps:

Charge with solar energy via the solar module:

Connect the solar module cable with the LED lamp. The lamp switch must be set to OFF position. Find exact information regarding the switch settings below. Place the solar module in a location where it is as long as possible in direct sunlight. Observe the instructions for best placement in the next section.

Depending on the time of year, weather and position of the solar module charging can take several days before the lamp is ready to use. As a guide, charging time if fully unloaded is approx. 3-4 days in full sunshine.

Directions for use SOL 80 ALU IP 44

Alternatively charge with external charger:

You can charge the appliance before first use with a suitable charger (not supplied). Remove the batteries from the lamp and charge directly in the battery charger. Check the charger specifications. The charger must be compatible for charging NiMH batteries (AA / 1.2 V / 2200 mAh).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS SOLAR MODULE AND LAMP

Figure A (South) Figure B (South)

LED lamp:

The lamp consists of a light fitting with 8 high performance LEDs, a light casing with battery compartment and a rotating movement detector. Observe the motion detector's detection area when selecting the installation location. The movement detector has a range of 10 m in an angle of 130^ horizontally at an ambient temperature of 25^ C. The recommended installation height above ground level is 2 m to 2.5 m. Install the lamp's mounting plate with the supplied screws on a suitable surface. Place the lamp on the mounting plate and secure with the safety screw (see Figure A).

Solar module:

The solar module converts the radiation energy in the sunlight in electric energy. This environmentally friendly solar energy charges the batteries and allows the use of this lamp independently from mains power supply. Please remember that the installation site of the solar module needs direct sunlight for best performance. Do not place the module in the shade and direct it South, if possible. In Central Europe a tilt angle of approx. 30^ is recommended. This also ensures to a certain degree self-cleaning from leaves, dust and snow by wind and rain. Install the solar module with the supplied mounting screws on a solid surface. Set the tilt angle accordingly with the mounting bracket (see Figures A and B). Adjust the solar module to the desired direction.

SETUP AND OPERATION

After successful installation connect the solar module cable with the lamp. The solar LED lamp is now ready to use.

Important:

Remember to charge the batteries before first use of the lamp. The switch must be in OFF position. Charging with the solar module takes approximately 3-4 sunny days.

SWITCH SETTINGS:

On top of the lamp casing you find the main switch with two possible settings (Figure C):

ON: Position when switched on.

The batteries are charged via the solar module, the lamp is activated via the motion detector.

OFF: Lamp and movement detector are switched off, battery charging via solar module still active.

Position during delivery and recommended position during longer periods of non-use.

Switch position during fast battery charge without operational lamp.

Figure C

MOVEMENT DETECTOR

This is a passive infrared sensor detecting motion due to heat radiation changes within the protected area, which turns the lamp on/off.

Set the main switch after initial charging to ON position.

Turn the movement detector until you have access to the control knobs (see Figure D).

Directions for use SOL 80 ALU IP 44

CONTROL KNOBS TIME / SENS / LUX

1. TIME = Light duration

Set the lamps On time after detecting motion within the detection area between 10 and 60 seconds. Turn the TIME control knob towards (+) to increase the On time and towards (-) to decrease the On time.

Note: The set On time starts with triggering the motion detector. After further movement is detected in activated lamp mode the On time is started again. A red indicator light in the motion detector signals motion detection.

2. SENS = Sensitivity

The ambient temperature influences the motion detector's sensitivity.

The lower the ambient temperature, the more sensitive is the motion detector. Use the SENS control knob to adjust to changing temperatures. The sensitivity increases on the (+) side of the control knob.

3. LUX = response sensitivity

Twilight setting to differentiate between daylight and twilight operation. Set the lamps desired response threshold continuously between approx. 2 and 2000 Lux. This adjusts the lamps response sensitivity to the ambient brightness. With the control knob in (○) position the motion detector responds in daylight and at night. The lamp is enabled during night and day → daylight operation. With the control knob in (D) position the motion detector responds only in twilight→twilight operation. Adjust according to ambient brightness with the control knob.

Set the control knob further to (D) if the lamp responds too sensitive in daylight.

Set the control knob further to (D) if the lamp does not switch on in twilight or at night despite setting to (C). In this case the motion detector might be compromised by other light sources such as street lights.

FUNCTION TEST

Set the TIME control knob to minimum (-) and the LUX control knob to bright position (✗). Turn the motion detector back until the arrow (at the bottom of the motion detector) is directed to the centre of the detection area. Test by walking slowly through the detection area. Achieve the desired response time and sensitivity by adjusting the three described control knobs.

Check the motion detector's direction if the lamp does not respond as desired and adjust die control knob settings, if necessary.

MAINTENANCE AND NOTES ON BATTERIES

The integrated rechargeable batteries last with proper and correct use of the lamp 800-1000 charge cycles. This corresponds to up to 2 years.

If reliability and brightness of the lamps decrease, first try to achieve a better battery capacity by charging similar to initial charging (see description above, 3-4 days charge with switch in OFF position or with separate battery charger) or change the batteries.

CHANGE BATTERIES:

Change the batteries if the lamp does not turn on or the batteries are exhausted.

Set the main switch to OFF position, disconnect the connecting cable, loosen the safety screw and slide the lamp from the mounting plate.

Open the battery compartment cover, remove the batteries and replace with same type batteries (see technical data). Observe the correct polarity when replacing the batteries. Assemble the lamp in reverse order. Charge the new batteries before first use for at least 3-4 days via the solar module as instructed.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. DC power is generated as soon as light strikes the solar module. Only use the supplied cables and do not shorten the cables.
2. Only use the supplied solar module. The solar module is adjusted to lamp and batteries. The use of a different solar module can result in personal injury or damages to the lamp and will void your warranty.
3. Install the cable safe and secure and without causing any danger (e.g. trip hazard). Do not use the solar lamp with a defective or damaged cable.

CLEANING

Keep the motion detector free of dust and debris; clean it regularly with a damp cloth. Do not use any chemicals or aggressive agents for cleaning the device. Ensure that the solar module is free of dirt and debris at all times. A dirty solar cell cannot charge the batteries properly. This can result in premature aging of the batteries and malfunctions of the device.

STORAGE

Observe the following steps to avoid damages to the batteries when storing the lamp for a longer period of time without direct sunlight:

1. Switch the lamp off (switch in OFF position).
2. Store the lamp with connected solar module in a place, where the solar module is subjected at least indirect lighting, if possible. This prevents deep drain of the batteries.
3. During a longer storing period of the lamps (e.g. during winter) of more than 4 months ensure regular recharge of the batteries. Place the lamp with connected solar module for several days (3-4) in direct sunlight or remove the batteries and regularly charge with a suitable battery charger.

FAQ / TROUBLESHOOTING:

1. Problem: Lamp does not turn on if there is movement in the detection area.

Solution: Ensure that:

• the lamp is switched on (switch in ON position);
• the brightness is not set too dark. Set the LUX control knob further towards ☐;
• the motion detector is directed to detect movement. Ensure that the arrow under the motion detector points towards the detection area;
