5.0 Maintenance and Product Care
Although the R829 is designed to be maintenance free, maximum performance can be
maintained with clean solar panels and lenses. Clean the unit on a regular basis, especially if it is
installed in a dusty environment. Use water and a soft sponge or cloth for cleaning and a mild,
non-abrasive cleaning agent for more stubborn residue. Rinse well.
Note: Pressure washers should not be used. Water forced up into the louvers may soak internal
components.
•
Clean solar panels more frequently during drier months, as they may become soiled more
quickly.
•
Check all electrical and mechanical connectors yearly to ensure they are clean, secure
and undamaged.
•
The main battery housing has several vents and drain holes. Ensure that they are free of
debris.
•
Visual inspect exterior assembly for cracks, missing or broken hardware or other potential
problems.
Note: Exercise extreme caution when handling the battery packs. They are capable of
generating enormous short-circuit currents. Remove all jewelry (bracelets, metal-strap watches,
rings) before attempting to handle or disassemble the battery packs.
Note: The batteries are comprised of four sealed lead-acid cells each. Consult your local
municipal by-laws for information on recycling the cells.
Do not discard batteries in the garbage. Please recycle!
6.0 Troubleshooting
The most obvious fault that may occur with the R829 is that the light will not flash. If this is the
case, there are two things that can be checked correct this problem:
1. Check the battery connection and the LED signal head connection to ensure that the
connectors are fully inserted. As the light is designed to function as soon as the battery is
plugged in, this should be fairly simple to diagnose.
2. Certain units have batteries that utilize inline fuses. In the
case of system malfunction, open the inline fuseholder
(pictured left), and check the state of the fuse. If the interior
filament is intact, the fuse itself is functional, otherwise
replace the fuse with Cooper-Bussman model ABC-4 (4-
amp fuse).
If your R829 light still will not operate correctly, contact
Carmanah’s Customer Service Department at 1-877-722-8877 or contact your distributor.
