DESCRIPTION

This light operates from a built-in lithium-ion battery charged from a solar panel. It will also hold three "C" alkaline batteries (not included) which are used as a backup power source. If the solar battery becomes depleted, the light will automatically switch to the alkaline batteries. When the solar panel has recharged the solar battery, the light will automatically switch back to the solar battery.

INITIAL BATTERY CHARGE

IMPORTANT: The solar panel requires full, direct sunlight to charge the battery. Clouds, rain, snow, and other weather conditions may not allow the solar panel to completely recharge the battery. Other obstructions such as buildings or trees may block the sun as well.

When installing the solar panel, make sure it is aimed as described below with a minimum amount of obstructions. If possible, mount the panel facing toward the southern sky.

- PRIOR TO USE, the solar panel will need to be connected to the battery (see Installation instructions) and the battery will require 3 to 7 days of full sun to completely charge with the control dial in the OFF position. Remove the rubber plug from the bottom of the light fixture and insert the end of the solar panel cable into the opening. If possible, aim the solar panel toward the south and tilt it approximately 50^ from horizontal. If the solar panel cannot be aimed toward the south, then tilt the panel approximately 30^ if possible.

  • Actual operating time will vary depending upon how frequently the light is turned on by the motion sensor.
  • Solar lighting is not designed to equal standard 120V lighting. The amount of light output is reduced to allow the sun time to fully recharge the battery between lighting cycles.
  • Solar collection is only effective in direct sunlight. Every hour the light is on requires a minimum of 16 hours of sunlight charging. Solar panels collect less than 10% of the sun's energy.

MOUNTING LOCATION

The most important thing to remember for the operation of your solar powered motion sensing light is that it works from the power received from direct sunlight. The more direct sunlight the solar panel receives in a day, the longer the light will operate.

Solar Light Fixture

The main unit contains the LEDs, motion sensor, and battery. When deciding where to mount this unit, keep in mind that the motion sensor that activates the light has a “field of vision” of 40 feet (12 meters) in front of the light and about 180^ detection angle at a surrounding air temperature of 77^ F ( 25^ C).

Solar Panel

The solar panel converts the sun's energy into electricity, thus charging the battery stored in the solar light fixture. The solar panel requires direct sunlight falling onto the face of the solar panel for as long as possible over the course of the day.

When choosing the location for the solar panel, make sure it is aimed toward the south and is tilted to a suitable angle to allow as much direct sunlight to fall upon it as possible. Make sure there is a minimum amount of obstructions between the solar panel and the sun.

Also, make sure your solar panel location is not too far away from the solar light fixture for the wires to reach and connect.

IMPORTANT SAFETY AND INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Before installing security light, read all instructions carefully and keep owner's manual for future reference.

  • WARNING: To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH never allow small children near batteries. If battery is swallowed, immediately notify a doctor.
  • WARNING: DO NOT mix old and new batteries. DO NOT mix battery types - such as alkaline, heavy duty, and rechargeable - in a single device. Battery leakage may occur.
  • WARNING: DO NOT DISPOSE OF BATTERIES IN FIRE. BATTERIES MAY EXPLODE OR LEAK.
  • CAUTION: Burn hazard. Allow the light fixture to cool before touching.
  • NOTICE: When replacing batteries, recycle used batteries or dispose of them in accordance with local regulations.
  • This fixture is designed for outdoor installation and should be mounted to a wall or eaves.
  • To achieve best results, this fixture should be mounted 8 feet (2.4 meters) above the ground.
  • Do not cut the solar panel wire. Discontinue use if the wire becomes frayed or broken.
  • Do not immerse components in liquid.
  • Do not use any other charging device other than the single solar charging panel provided with this light. Doing so may result in injury or damage to the light and voids any warranty.
  • Position the cord so that it is securely fastened and will not result in a hazard (such as tripping).

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

The motion sensor on this light fixture detects “motion” by the movement of heat across the coverage area. The motion sensor is more sensitive to the movement of heat moving across the coverage area and less sensitive to the movement of heat directly towards it.

  1. Carefully route the solar panel cable to the light fixture. Remove the rubber plug from the bottom of the light fixture and insert the end of the cable into the opening (see Figure 10). Note: Wrap any excess solar panel cable around the cord management system located on the rear of the solar panel. Leave enough loose cable to form a drip loop.

IMPORTANT: Turn the control dial on the side of the sensor to the OFF position and allow the battery to charge with 3 to 7 days of full sunshine before testing (see Figure 11).

OPERATION

Determining the Motion Sensor Detection Zone

The motion sensor is non-adjustable. It has a sensing angle of 180^ and a range of approximately 40 ft. depending on the surrounding temperature. When the control dial is set to the “TEST” position, the light will operate during the day or night. The light will stay on for 5 seconds after all motion is stopped. The motion sensor will need to completely warm up (60 seconds) before beginning the setup process.

  1. Turn the control dial to the TEST position (see Figure 11).
  2. Perform a "walk test": walk in an arc across the front of the motion sensor (see Figure 12).
  3. Watch the light. The light will come on indicating motion has been detected.
  4. Stop, wait for the light to turn off, and then begin walking again.
  5. Continue this process until the detection zone has been established.
  6. If needed, gently grasp the lamp heads and move them from side to side or up and down to adjust the light coverage area.

Adjusting the Light Timer

Turn the control dial to set the amount of time you want the lights to stay on after all motion has stopped (adjustble between 5 seconds and 5 minutes) (see Figure 13). Note: When set between 5 seconds and 5 minutes, the light fixture will only work after dark (sunset).
