Installation Instructions for Kamr – Part 1
When the Solar Street Light is delivered the controller will be sent in ‘ship
mode’, which prevents excessive battery discharging during transit. This
needs to be changed to the ‘on’ mode before installing the light.
The mode selection switch is located on the front panel of the battery
pack and controller module. During normal operation the mode switch is
hidden due to the insertion of a weather seal rubber plug. The plug can be
easily pulled out to show the mode switch (see fig 1). Please ensure the
rubber plug is re-inserted after inspection to prevent water ingress.
Change the switch to the following modes of operation using the switch
(fig 2):
Mode selection
1.
On Mode – This is the normal operating position. Please ensure
that when the Street Light is installed the mode switch is ALWAYS
in this position.
2.
Ship Mode – This position is selected when the unit is not in use.
This is typically when the unit is stored or packed and being
transported to site for installation. The controller automatically
enters a power down state to conserve battery power.
3.
Test Mode – This position is used to check the operation of the
light under test conditions. This should not be selected for normal
light operation.
