Solar LED lamp SOL 80
Important:
Make sure that the solar light was charged as described in the section „Initially
Charging the Solar Powered Light" before you activate the light.
On the main unit, there is a switch with two settings: AUTO and OFF.
AUTO: Position for operation using motion sensor.
OFF:
Switches the motion sensor function / LED-light off
Position for charging.
Setting up the motion detector
Once the initial charging is completed, set the switch to AUTO.
Aim the motion detector in the direction from which you wish to detect motion. Set the
TIME-control on the underside of the motion detector to "Minimum" (-) and the LUX-
control to the "bright" ( ) position. Test the monitored area by walking around the area
to be monitored slowly. If the solar light does not come on as desired, the motion sensor's
aim needs to be adjusted.
There are three controls on the motion detector:
TIME / SENS / LUX
1. TIME = Light duration: You can set the time that the light stays on after motion has
been detected to a period of between around 10 seconds and 1 minute.
Turn the TIME-control in toward (+) to increase the light duration and toward (-) to
reduce the light duration.
Note: The time period set begins after the motion detector has been triggered.
Each time motion is detected, this period begins again.
2. SENS = Sensitivity: The device's sensitivity depends on the ambient temperature.
The lower the temperature, the greater the motion detector's sensitivity.
Use the SENS-control in order to set (or adjust) the motion detector's sensitivity and
compensate for changes in the ambient temperature. The sensor is most sensitive
when SENS-selector dial is completely turned toward (+).
3. LUX = Response sensitivity: With the LUX-control, you can set the ambient light level
at which the device activates. This keeps the lights from coming on in daylight. In the
( ) position, the light will activate day and night, while in the ( ) position, it will only
come on at night. You can set the light level at which you want the unit to activate
using the LUX-selector dial.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
Note: When replacing the battery the slider switch on the lighting unit must be set to OFF
and the solar module's plug must be separated from the main unit.
To replace the battery, first remove the device from its supporting surface. Then loosen
the screws on the housing on the back of the lighting unit. Carefully loosen the battery
connector cable and remove the battery bracket. Remove the battery from the housing
and put a new battery in. Re-assemble the device by reversing this sequence.
Note: Make sure the correct poles are connected when connecting the battery. Incorrect
polarities can damage the device.
