aiSUN™ Solar Light CPU

This guide describes how to complete the assembly of your light system when it is outfitted with an aiSUN™ 
CPU.  aiSUN™ features & troubleshooting information is provided

.

What does the aiSUN™ CPU do?

aiSUN™ is a unique solar charging controller and LED luminaire controller packaged into one intelligent solar 
light CPU.  aiSUN™ performs the following 2 tasks:
1.  Charges batteries: Electricity generated by the PV module is modulated and controlled by the aiSUN™ 

to properly and safely charge the solar light’s NRGLife™ batteries.

2.  Operates the LED Luminaire: Using a factory-installed configuration, aiSUN™ turns on the LED luminaire 

after sunset and turns off the luminaire before sunrise as configured per each location.  This includes 
dimming and response to motion detection in some configurations.

aiSUN™ is factory configured for your location.  No adjustments are required.  Lights are programmed to run 
in one several operating modes.

Operating mode is shown on the unit label as: HH.LLL.LLL.HH.LLL
