Frequently Asked Questions - XSolar GLS STEINEL

How to turn on the XSolar GLS lamp for the first time?
Set the program selection switch to P2. The lamp goes into test mode for one minute, then operates in P2 mode with detector and marker light.
What to do if the lamp does not turn on?
Check that the switch is not on P0 (off). Recharge the battery via the micro USB port if the red LED flashes. Also check the detection zone and the orientation of the solar panel.
How to manually recharge the battery?
Use a micro USB adapter (5 V, max. 1 A) not supplied. Plug it into the micro USB socket (E). The red LED flashes during charging, lights up steady when 100% full. Full charging can take up to 6 hours.
What is the range of the motion detector?
The maximum range is 5 meters for an installation height of 1 meter. The detection angle is 140°.
How to set the programs P0, P1, and P2?
Use the program selection switch (M). P0: complete off. P1: lights up only on motion detection. P2: lights up on detection + permanent marker light at 3%.
What does the flashing red LED in the detector mean?
The red LED flashes when the battery capacity is too low. Recharge the battery with the micro USB adapter. If it flashes while charging, it is normal.
How to orient the solar panel for better performance?
Orient the solar panel towards the south (use the integrated compass) with a tilt angle of 55°. Avoid shading (eaves, trees) to maximize sun exposure.
Can I use the lamp indoors?
No, the lamp is designed for outdoor use (IP44 rating). The solar panel needs direct sunlight. Using it behind glass greatly reduces charging.
How to clean the solar lamp?
Clean the solar panel and housing with a soft cloth and a mild detergent. Do not use abrasive products or solvents.
Where to buy a replacement battery?
The replacement battery is referenced as XSolar (EAN 007841006488). Contact Steinel customer service or a qualified electrician for replacement.

STEINEL XSolar GLS - General safety precautions - 1

Hazard from vapours or electrolyte fluid!

Vapours or electrolyte fluid may escape if the rechargeable battery is damaged or used improperly. Coming into contact with them may result in severe injury (e.g. loss of sight, acid burns).

  • Never open the rechargeable battery enclosure or the rechargeable battery itself.
  • Do not allow vapours or electrolyte fluid to come into contact with your eyes. In the event of contact with eyes:
  • Do not rub your eyes.
    – Immediately rinse eyes with plenty of clean water (such as tap water).
  • Seek medical advice.
  • Do not touch any electrolyte fluid that has escaped.
  • Immediately move product away from naked flamed or sources of heat.
  • Immediately remove contaminated clothing.

STEINEL XSolar GLS - General safety precautions - 2

Hazard from LED light!

Looking directly into the LED light when it is ON could damage your retina.

  • Never look into the LED light at short range or for any prolonged period (> 5 minutes).
  • The light must not be installed in explosive atmospheres.
  • For trouble-free operation, choose an installation site that is not exposed to vibration or shock.
  • Protect the solar panel from mechanical strain (e.g, tree branches).

– The product must not be modified or altered in any way.

3. XSolar GL-S

Proper use

  • SensorLight with LEDs as the source of light.
  • For installing on profiles outdoors.
  • Automatically provides light at places where no mains power is available.
  • With independent power supply from solar panel and rechargeable battery.
    – Autonomous detection of the smallest of movements by means of integrated infrared sensor.

→"5. Operation"

5. Operation

Before using for the first time

- Activate light by setting the programme selector switch to P2.

The light stays in test mode for one minute before it starts to work in programme P2.

Test mode

During the test sequence the light works in daytime mode.

On detecting movement, the light switches ON for 1 minute with a stay-ON time of 10 sec. irrespectively of light-level setting. The programme is automatically activated after this time elapses.

The red LED stays ON all the time in test mode.

Setting the chosen operating mode by programme selector switch

- P0: OFF (factory setting). Loads (LED panel and sensor) are deactivated.

- P1: Sensor mode.

Light only switches ON after receiving a signal from the motion detector.

– P2: Sensor mode with basic light level.

Light switches ON after receiving a signal from the motion detector.

Light permanently ON in the morning and evening hours at reduced basic light level.

Stay-ON time and brightness

- Stay-ON time is determined when the light is used for the first time.

– During the first night, basic lighting is switched OFF in the morning in programme 2.

- Stay-ON time and brightness can be automatically matched to ambient conditions, e.g. stay-ON time is longer in summer than it is in winter.

– Basic lighting level provides night-time illumination at approx. 3 % light output.

– Light is switched to maximum output when movement is identified in the detection zone. The light then returns to basic lighting level (approx. 3%). The period basic lighting is provided for is matched to ambient conditions. Using basic lighting reduces light availability. If it is not needed, it is recommended to switch it OFF (P1) to ensure lighting availability in less sunny periods.

Charging the battery manually

The red LED in the motion detector flashes if battery capacity is too low (e.g. in poor weather). The battery can be recharged with a standard micro USB charging adapter (not included). Battery recharging can take up to 6 hours.

Risk of damage to property from penetrating moisture

When open, the micro USB charging socket (E) is not protected from the ingress of water.

- Only recharge batteries in a dry room.

- Connect micro USB charging adapter.

- Red LED flashes: charging in progress The LED may take up to 10 minutes to start flashing if the battery has run down to very low level.

- Red LED shows: battery is fully charged.

- Remove micro USB charging adapter.

- Red LED goes out.

Risk of damage to property when light is not in use

If the light is not used for a prolonged period (e.g. in storage), the battery may suffer irreparable damage from exhaustive discharge.

  • Set programme selector switch to P0.
  • The battery must be on full charge before taking the light out of service.
  • Regularly charge the battery while the light is not in use.
