Function

The solar cell 5 converts energy from sunlight into electricity. This recharges the rechargeable batteries inside the rechargeable battery compartment 10 via the connection cable.

These rechargeable batteries store the electricity fed by the solar cell. Fully charged rechargeable batteries will provide about 2 hours of light on the „PIR“ setting, and about 8 hours on „AUTO“.

In summer completely drained rechargeable batteries take about 2 to 4 days to fully recharge in constant sunlight. The rechargeable batteries must be charged prior to initial use (see „Charging rechargeable batteries“).

- Before use

● Charging the rechargeable batteries

Note: The rechargeable batteries inside the main unit 1 are fully charged at delivery. However, they may already have lost charge during transport from the manufacturer to the retail location. Therefore charge the rechargeable batteries prior to use. During summer, initial charging will take at least one day in constant sunlight.

Set the switch 6 to the „OFF" position.

Note: In constant sunlight (depending on the season) drained rechargeable batteries should take two to ten days to charge.

Note: the built-in charging controller of the product prevents the rechargeable batteries from overcharging.

Replace the rechargeable batteries if the light output does not improve after charging (Fig. E).

Assembly

Note: Before mounting, decide where you want to mount the solar cell 5 and the main unit 1. Please remember the connection cable between the solar cell and the main unit is approx. 2.5 m long.

- Mounting the main unit

Please remember when selecting the location for mounting the main unit 1

1. The connection between the LED spotlight 2 and the main unit is flexible and should be able to illuminate the selected area. Please remember to slightly loosen the swivel screw before moving the LED spotlight. Tighten the swivel screw afterwards (see Fig. F).
2. Depending on the mounting height (ideally between 1.80 m - 2.00 m) the motion detector 3 has a detection range of max. 12 m with a detection angle of 90° horizontally and 90° vertically.
3. Be sure the motion detector is not illuminated by street lighting at night. This can influence its functioning.

☐ Secure the main unit 1 using two of the enclosed wall plugs 8 (ø 6 mm) and two of the enclosed screws 7 (4 x 30 mm) (see Fig. B). Note: The enclosed mounting material is suitable for ordinary masonry construction. Other wall substrates may require other fastening materials. Seek specialist advice when in doubt.

After mounting, check that the main unit is fitted securely.

- Mounting the solar cell

The solar cell 5 requires direct sunlight when possible. Ideally, the solar cell surface will be directed to the south. The enclosed bracket 9 will ensure the solar cell is mounted horizontally.

☐ Mount the bracket 9 of the solar cell 5 to a vertical wall using the enclosed screws 7 (4 x 30 mm) and the enclosed wall plugs 8 ( 6 mm) (see Fig. C).

Note: The enclosed mounting material is suitable for ordinary masonry construction. Other wall substrates may require other fastening materials. Seek specialist advice when in doubt.

After mounting, verify the solar cell 5 is fitted securely by the bracket 9.

☐ Then attach the solar cell as shown in Fig. C.

□ Next adjust the solar cell to face south.

- Connecting the solar cell to the main unit

After mounting the two operating units (main unit 1 and solar cell 5) run the connection cable so it is not subjected to mechanical stress. Use typical installation material such as cable clamps or conduit to fasten the connection cable, to prevent damage to the insulation.

☐ Connect the plug connector 4 from the main unit connection cable and the solar cell (see Fig. D).

- Start-up

Note:

☐ Connect the main station 1 to the solar cell 5 before using for the first time. The solar cell 5 also works as a twilight sensor, while the motion detector 3 only responds to movement.

☐ When selecting the setup location for the solar cell 5 be sure the solar cell, just as the twilight sensor, are not affected by other light sources, e.g. street lighting.

The switch 6 on the main unit 1 (Fig. A) features the following functions:

Position „OFF“: Motion detector 3 and LED spotlight 2 are off. In direct sunlight the rechargeable batteries are charged by the solar cell 5. Use this setting to charge drained rechargeable batteries (see „Charging the rechargeable batteries”).

Position „AUTO“: The solar cell charges the rechargeable batteries in sunlight. The product automatically switches on or off once the solar cell 5 detects dusk or dawn. To ensure a long life the LEDs will not be fully powered in this setting, but only provide approx. 20 % of their full light power (eco mode). When fully charged, the rechargeable batteries will provide approx. 8 hours of light in this setting.

Position „PIR“: The solar cell charges the rechargeable batteries in sunlight. The solar cell 5 automatically switches the product on in twilight or the dark when the motion detector 3 detects movement. The light ON time is preset to approx. 1.5 minutes. If additional movement is detected during these 1.5 minutes, the light ON time will reset. In this setting the LEDs will be fully powered. With the rechargeable batteries fully charged the charge on this setting will provide light for a total of approx. 2 hours.

● Maintenance / changing rechargeable batteries

To ensure good solar cell 5 performance the solar cell must be cleaned regularly (see „Cleaning and care“).

Change the rechargeable batteries as follows:

☐ Remove the main unit 1 from the wall.
☐ Slide the switch 6 to the „OFF” position.
☐ Loosen the cover screws 11 the back of the main unit 1 using a cross-tip screwdriver (see Fig. E).
☐ Remove the back of the main unit. Use a flat-head screwdriver to help if necessary.
☐ Remove the rechargeable batteries from the rechargeable battery compartment 10 and replace with new rechargeable batteries with the same technical data. Be sure to insert the rechargeable batteries in the correct direction. The correct polarity is shown inside the rechargeable battery compartment.
☐ Close the back of the main unit with the arrow facing upward and secure the cover screws (see Fig. E).

- Winter-time use

The low amount of sunlight may reduce the light ON time at night depending on the on-time. Due to the low position of the sun please also verify the solar cell 5 is out of shade throughout the day in winter and remove ice and snow as necessary.

If the light ON time is inadequate due to the weather, recharge or replace the rechargeable batteries (see „Charging the rechargeable batteries“ or „changing rechargeable batteries“).

- Cleaning and Care

☐ Switch off the product before cleaning.
Use a slightly dampened, lint-free cloth and mild cleaning agent to clean.
☐ Regular check the motion detector 3 and solar cell 5 particularly for dirt.
☐ Regularly clean the motion detector and solar cell to ensure proper functionality.
Especially keep the solar cell free of snow and ice in winter.
