These instructions relate ONLY to this product and contain important infor-
mation for using the product for the first time. Please keep these instructions
for later reference and should always accompany the 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 regula-
tions. The conformity was proved. The relevant declarations and documentati-
on are deposited with the manufacturer.
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 pump system is designed for the outdoor use in garden ponds. The
integrated accumulator is charged depending on the solar radiation to the
solar module and the pump will produce water correspondingly.
- A direct and shadow-free solar radiation is required for the function of the
pump.
- When starting the pump, the integrated accumulator may be partially
discharged and the pump will not produce/lift any water. Please charge the
accumulator in the accumulator station for one day with solar radiation and
leave the pump switched-off while charging (switch in position “OFF”). For
more details, please see the manual of the accumulator box.
- On days with little sunshine, we recommend to operate of the pump in inter-
val mode (pump runs for approx. 15 minutes every hour) and to control the
operating voltage to 6 V (see manual of the accumulator box).
- The pump system is particularly characterized by its ease of installation and
assembly. No tools are required for the assembly.
- The pump must not be used for the production/lifting of drinking water.
- The power (operating voltage) of the pump may be adjusted by means of a
controller on the accumulator station.
- In order to avoid any disturbing gurgling, simply shorten the standpipe.
- In order to safely interrupt the production (of water) and protect the system
against unauthorized activation, you will have to switch-off the pump system
and disconnect the cable between accumulator box and pump.
4. Assembly and commissioning
The pump system consists of the following components:
1. 8 Wp solar module with ground spike.
2. Submerged pump in a plastic housing with a 5 m connection cable.
3. Accumulator box with a 6 V/ 3,2 Ah accumulator.
4. Standpipes and 4 water nozzles.
5. LED Light ring with twilight sensor mounted on an adapter.
Note: Before assembly, please carefully read the manual of the accumu-
lator box. It contains important information and notes!
1. Completely unroll the connection cable at the pump.
2. Attach the adapter to the pump and then the standpipes onto the adapter.
Then, insert the LED light ring onto the standpipe by means of the included
adapter. Now, attach the desired sprinkler onto the standpipe (illustration
above on the left).
3. Now, release the cap at the cable of the pump, pull out the sealing plug and
insert the plug of the LED light ring into the socket. Screw the cap nut tight
(illustration above on the right).
4. Put the pump onto a stone in the pond. Please avoid placing the pump
directly at the ground of the pond because here, a particularly high amount
of dirt is sucked in by the pump and the nozzles will be clogged quickly.
Note: This pump is equipped with a dry run protection function. At the side
of the pump, there are two sensor points. Those sensor points shall be
completely under water. If one of the sensor points rises from the water, the
pump is automatically switched-off in order to protect the pump. Please also
see the pump manual.
5. Please make sure that the accumulator box is switched-off and now connect
the plug of the pump with the socket at the accumulator box.
6. Completely unroll the cable at the accumulator box and insert the plug into
the back side of the solar module.
7. Now, screw the ground spike tight at the back side of the solar module by
means of the cap nut and insert the solar module at a sunny and shadow-
free place.
Note: Before switching on the system, please carefully read the manual of the
accumulator box. It contains important information and notes!
Note: Do not apply force when inserting the solar module. The front side of the
solar module is fragile.
Attention: Risk of injury! A broken may not be repaired anymore and has to be
disposed of it in an environmentally sound manner.

5. LED Illumination
The LED illumination of the light ring is automatically activated at dusk. Apart
from the 3 LEDs, a twilight sensor is installed as light sensor. This sensor looks
like an LED but is not illuminated.
