OPERATION
Note: The LED light is designed to work at night only
The solar pump is designed mainly for use during summer hours, but it will also work in spring
and fall as long as the sunlight conditions are good enough in your region. The pump’s
performance depends on the orientation of the solar panel towards the sun (see section 2) and
the strength on sunlight.
This ASC solar pump kit comes with three operation modes: Continuously On, 4hrs Timer, and
Daily 4hrs Timer.
a.
CONTINUOUSLY
ON
MODE
:
This mode works best if you want to maximize the pump’s daily
usage
. Press [power on/off] button, the top indicator light [continuously on] will be on. The
pump will run continuously until the battery runs out of power. The pump will
automatically restart when the battery is recharged under proper sunlight.
b.
4hrs TIMER MODE
:
This mode works when you only want the pump to run upon your
request.
Press [timer mode] button repeatedly until the second indicator light [4hrs
timer] is lit – the pump will run for 4 hours and shut down. It will NOT restart until you press
the [power on/off] button.
c.
DAILY 4hrs TIMER MODE
:
This mode works best if you want the pump run at the same time
every day.
Press [timer mode] button repeatedly until the third indicator light [daily 4 hrs
timer] is lit – the pump will run for 4 hours and shut down (in standby) for 20
hours. This setting will repeat daily at the same time. You can reset the pump’s daily start
up time by switching it to a new desired time using this mode. Note: the third indicator light
will be blinking slowly when the pump has run for 4 hours and then will switch
to standby mode. In order to save the battery power, the indicator light will turn off
after darkness sets in but you can activate the indicator light and check its status with a
