product in the event of transference to a new user.
1. Introduction
Dear Costumer,
Thank you for purchasing the solar light. With this solar light you purchased a product
manufactured according to the current state of technology.
This product fulfils all requirements of the valid European and
national regulations. The conformity was proved. The relevant
declarations and documentation are deposited with the manu-
facturer.
To maintain this state and guarantee a safe operation, you as the user will have to
follow this operating manual!
2. Safety Instructions
- In case of damages caused by not following this
operating manual, the warranty rights will expire!
We exclude liability for any consequential damages!
- We exclude liability for property or personal damages
caused by inappropriate handling or not following
the safety instructions.
- In these cases any guarantee rights will expire.
Due to safety and admission reasons (CE) it is not allowed to arbitrarily reconstruct
and/or change the solar light.
Therefore, please keep to the operating manual.
The accident prevention rules of the association of the industrial trade cooperative
association for electric plants and working material are to be considered in industrial
environments.
3. Intended use
The PIR Solar Lamp is distinguished by its bright light and selectable energy conser-
vation switch. The light source are 3 super bright Nichia LED´s.
The solar module in the upper section recharges the installed rechargeable battery.
When dark, the lamp automatically activates and then switches off automatically in
the morning or when the rechargeable batteries are out of energy.
The solar lamp can be operated in 2 modes. In the time of year where there‘s a low
amount of sun, the winter switching (energy conservation switch) can be used with
the PIR Movement Sensor. In the summertime or in countries with a high level of
sunshine, the summer switching without the PIR Movement Sensor is selected.
The product is designed for usage in the private area.
Note: Please make sure that the solar lamp is located in the southern direction
and that the sunshine freely reaches the solar module, i.e. is not blocked by shade.
When setting up the lamp in an area where there is no real access to sunshine, the
product cannot be made use of. In the winter, the solar module must always be kept
free of snow.
4. Assembly and Start-Up Procedure
1.
Carefully remove the parts from the packaging and unpack the accessories.
2.
Look for a suitable assembly site with access to enough sunshine on the solar
module of the lamp.
3.
Activate the lamp with the two slide switch on the underside of the solar head
(Illustration 1).
4.
The switch with the denotation
„ON“ and „OFF“
is the main switch for activa-
ting the lamp.
5.
The operation mode is selected with the other switch:
•
Winter mode (energy conservation switch): When dark, a small bright light
on the interior of the lamp turns on and the lamp lights up as an orientation
lamp. When determining a change in warmth before the movement sensor
(movement), the light is going to light auper bright for around 30 seconds. As
such, a longer period of readiness time for the lamp is achieved in the winter
or during bad weather.
•
Summer mode: when dark, the LED automatically turns on with super bright
light and lights up until the morning or the rechargeable batteries are out of
energy.
6.
Remove the plastic ground spike from the pipe on the underside of the lamp
(Illustration 2), twist the spike around and stick the ground spike into the pipe
of the lamp (Illustration 3). The lamp must also be mounted on the foot of the
retaining plate with the accompanying screws or nails. The accompanying nails
are only suited for assembly in grass or sandy soil. Under no circumstances
should the lamp be nailed into wood. The solar lamp is now activated.
Note: You generally cannot count on there being a long lamp duration in the winter
months. If the lamp doesn‘t yet function on the first evening, please wait until the lamp
has been recharged through one day of sunshine.
5. Replacing the rechargeable Batteries
After one to two years, the capacity of the rechargeable batteries tends to diminish and they
need to be replaced. The rechargeable batteries can be purchased at your local dealer or
directly from the manufacturer.
Attention: Before removing the lamp head, the light must be turned off, otherwise your eyes
could be damaged from the bright LED.
1.
Unscrew the three screws on the underside of the lamp (Illustration 4) and remove the
underside from the top section.
2.
Carefully unlatch the rechargeable battery compartment (Illustration 5 and 6) Remove
the rechargeable batteries from the holder.
3.
Put in the new rechargeable batteries in the right manner and close the encasement
accordingly in an inverse sequence.
Note: Used rechargeable batteries must be disposed of properly in an environmentally
sound manner and should not be simply thrown into the household garbage can. Your local
dealer is legally obligated to take back old rechargeable batteries.
6. Malfunctions
-
Lamp is not automatically switched on at darkness
- An outside light source (e.g. streetlight) simulates daylight and prevents the lamp from
switching on. Place the lamp at a darker location.
- Lamp is not switched on at darkness or only for a short period of time.
- Is the lamp connected?
- Accumulator weak or defective. Exchange of the accumulators.

Rechargeable battery notes
- Rechargeable batteries should not be played with by children. Never leave rechargeable
batteries lying around; they could be swallowed by children or pets.
- Rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into fire.
This leads to a danger of explosion!
- Leaking or damaged rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns when they come
into contact with skin. For this reason, please make use of suitable protective gloves.
- Rechargeable batteries should only be replaced by structurally identical rechargeable
batteries from the same manufacturer. Normal batteries must not be used since these
are not rechargeable.
- Make sure the rechargeable batteries are inserted with the correct polarity.
- For long periods of time of non-use (for example, storage), remove the inserted rechar-
geable batteries to avoid damages via the leaking rechargeable batteries.
