After activating, when the PV panel voltage is lower than 3.5V for 10 minute, the Controller will
turn on the light for a preset period of time according to the option selected.
When the PV panel voltage is higher than 3.5V for 10minute, the Controller will turn off the
light.
In NIGHT-LIGHT Mode, press and hold the Reset button can switch on the Light to test the
light.
Also, when the battery is lower than the Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) for 2 minutes, the load
will be cut off.
When the battery voltage becomes higher than Low Voltage Reconnect (LVR) setting, the
controller will automatically reconnect the load again.
The following chart shows the night light mode selections.

DESCRIPTION:
OFF – Load remain turned off.
X Hours On – Load is turned on for X hours after sunset.
Y / OFF / Z – Load is turned on after for Y hours after sunset, turned off during the night, then
turned on again Z hours before sunrise.
Dusk to Dawn – Load is turned on all night.
Measure Night Length
The load timer options that turn the load on again before sunrise require that the PV charge
controller to measure the length of the night. The default value of night length is 12 hours after
installation (or disconnect then reconnect the battery). The local length of night will take the
moving average of 4 consecutive nights.
If the solar array is disconnected during service, the controller will then record premature night
duration. This wrong night length data will be outdated after another 4 days of normal service.
Alternatively, the above error can be corrected by disconnect then reconnect the battery.
Verify Night-Light Mode selection
To verify the night-light mode selection. During night-light mode, press the reset button once.
The green LED will flash once per second. Count these LED flashes to confirm the correct
selection.
