Switching the LED spotlight on /off
The LED spotlight can be switched off with the push button, e.g. when you no long-
er need it. The head of the push button is raised a little more when the spotlight is
switched off (“OFF”) than when it is switched on (“ON”).
The rechargeable battery is charged in both push button positions, if suf-
ficient sunlight reaches the solar module.
After being switched on, the PIR sensor requires about 40 - 50 seconds to adjust to the
ambient temperature in the detection range. The light of the LED spotlight is activated
during this time. The light of the LED spotlight goes out after this time.
The PIR sensor is active when the brightness in the surrounding area is low (e.g. at
dusk or at night). If it detects a temperature change in the detection range, the LED
spotlight is activated for a pre-set time, see next chapter.
The integrated brightness sensor (between the two dials) prevents activa-
tion of the light during day (or when the brightness in the surrounding area is
sufficient to save energy).
Setting the switching time
The switch-on duration of the LED spotlight can be set to between 4 and 30 seconds
without steps using the “TIMER” dial:
• Turning the dial left counter-clockwise: the switch-on time is reduced
• Turning the dial right clockwise: The switch-on time is increased
If the PIR sensor detects a temperature variation in the detection range, then the LED
spotlight is switched on for the corresponding amount of time, after which it switches
off.
If a new temperature change is detected by the PIR sensor within this period, the
switching period is started over again.
The LED spotlight goes out if no further temperature change in the detection range is
detected by the PIR sensor.
Setting the sensitivity
The dial “SENSITIVTY” is used to set the heat change that activates the LED light.
• Turning the dial left counter-clockwise: The PIR sensor becomes less sensitive and
only reacts to larger temperature changes in the detection area.
• Turning the dial right clockwise: The PIR sensor becomes more sensitive and reacts
even to small temperature changes in the detection area.
The range can be increased by selecting a higher sensitivity setting. However, this
may lead to false activation.
Testing the PIR sensor
The test can only be conducted in the dark, as the LED spotlight and the PIR
sensor are deactivated during daylight in order to save energy.
• The rechargeable battery of the LED spotlight must be sufficiently charged.
• Move the “TIMER” dial all the way to the left in a counter-clockwise direction to-
wards “4S”.
• Move the “SENSITIVITY” dial all the way to the right in a clockwise direction to the
maximum sensitivity.
• Now cross the detection range. The LED spotlight must switch on when the PIR sen-
sor detects a temperature change in the detection range.
If you stop and do not move, the LED spotlight should switch off after a few seconds.
As described above, the LED spotlight remains switched on as long as a
temperature change is detected within the detection range of the PIR sen-
sor.
The LED spotlight goes out as soon as you leave the detection range and the
PIR sensor detects no temperature change.
• The tilt of the PIR sensor can be adjusted to increase or decrease the detection
range.
If you want to limit the detection range further, you can, for example, attach a trans-
parent tape to it.
Aligning the LED spotlight
Alignment and tilt of both LED spotlights can be adjusted to achieve the desired de-
gree of lighting. Do not use force when moving LED spotlights.
Maintenance and cleaning
The product does not require any maintenance and should never be disassembled for
any reason. The LED bulbs used are installed permanently and cannot be replaced.
Any maintenance or repair work must only be carried out by authorised personnel/
workshops.
The exterior of the product can be cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with water.
Never use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions since these could dam-
age the surface of the casing or impair operation.
Never aim the jet of the garden hose or a pressure washer at the LED spotlight or the
solar module!
It is advisable to thoroughly clean the solar module surface at least once a year, to
maximise the charging rate.
Disposal
The product must not be disposed of in the household waste.
Please dispose of the product, when it is no longer in use, according to the
current statutory requirements.
Troubleshooting
LED spotlight does not function.
• The securely mounted, non-replaceable rechargeable battery is empty. First, it
should be charged for two sunny days. Switch off the LED spotlight (move push but-
ton to the “OFF” position).
• Make sure that the connection plug on the cable end of the solar module is correctly
and properly plugged into the socket in the bottom side of the LED spotlight.
The PIR sensor does not work properly.
• The motion detection works on the basis of the detection of temperature variations
in the detection range. So mere motion is not enough for an object to be detected, it
has to be recognised by a change in temperature.
• Align the PIR sensor differently. Check its functionality; see section “Testing the PIR
sensor”.
• The range largely depends on the size of the moving object and its temperature dif-
ference compared with the background. If the PIR sensor is directed e.g. towards a
warm house wall, then a person moving through the detection range will be hard to
detect.
In winter, heavy clothes complicate correct triggering of the PIR sensor.
• In the ideal case, the detection range has to be crossed sidewise. Detection is
poorer if you move directly towards the PIR motion sensor.
The LED spotlight switches on for a longer period than it was programmed to do.
• The switch-on time is automatically restarted if a new temperature variation within
the detection range is detected by the PIR sensor during this period.
The light goes out when the PIR sensor detects no temperature variation during the
set time.
