Operation
• Connect the three LED spotlights‘ round plugs
to the corresponding sockets (2) on the solar
module.
Insert the round plugs securely into the so-
ckets to ensure sealing.
Lay the cables so that they cannot be bent or
damaged by rubbing on sharp corners.
• Connect the PIR motion sensor‘s plug to the jack socket (3) on the solar module. Insert the plug
securely into the socket to ensure sealing.
• Turn on/off the product using the switch (1).
Switch position „ON“:
The rechargeable batteries charge with sufficient sunlight. The PIR motion sensor monitors the
detection range for temperature changes in the dark.
If a change in temperature is detected (e.g. if a person enters the sensor‘s detection range), the
LED spotlights are activated for approx. 30 seconds.
Switch position „OFF“:
The rechargeable batteries do not charge, the PIR motion sensor is deactivated, the LED spot-
lights do not turn on.
Changing the rechargeable batteries
Rechargeable batteries have a limited life span. Replace the rechargeable batteries
when the illumination period is only very short despite sufficient sunlight (or at least
every 2 years).
• Open the rechargeable battery compartment by unscrewing the four screws from the recharge
-
able battery compartment lid on the back of the solar module and then removing the lid.
• Replace the 3 rechargeable batteries with 5 identical rechargeable batteries (see „Technical
Data“). Observe correct polarity (po and negative/- terminals) during installation. Dispo
-
se of used rechargeable batteries in an environmentally friendly fashion, see section „Dispo
-
sal“.
You may also use rechargeable batteries of higher capacity.
• Replace the battery compartment lid correctly (make sure that the rubber seal sits correctly
between the rechargeable battery compartment lid and the solar module) and tighten the four
screws to fasten.
Maintenance and cleaning
The product is maintenance-free part from occasionally replacing the rechargeable battery. The
LEDs are permanently installed and non-replaceable.
Maintenance or repairs may be carried out by a professional only.
Clean the exterior of the product using a clean, soft, dry cloth only. To remove tougher stains,
slightly dampen the cloth with lukewarm water.
Never use any aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions as they may cause damage to the
housing or the product to malfunction.
Do not apply too much pressure to the cover of the solar module solar cell to prevent scratching.
You should clean the solar cell cover at least once a year. Dust and dirt reduce the
charging current.
Disposal
a) General
Do not dispose of the product with your household waste.
Please dispose of the device at the end of its service life in accordance with legal
regulations; e.g. return the device to a public collection point.
Remove the rechargeable batteries from the solar module and dispose of them separa-
tely.
b) Disposing of used rechargeable batteries
As the end user, you are legally bound to return all used rechargeable batteries; disposing of used
rechargeable batteries with household waste is prohibited.
Rechargeable batteries containing hazardous substances are marked with the symbol
shown opposite, which indicates that disposal with household waste is prohibited.
The designations for the heavy metals involved are: Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb =
Lead.
You can dispose of your used rechargeable batteries free of charge at collection points in your
community, at our stores and everywhere rechargeable batteries are sold!
You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the environment.
Troubleshooting
The LEDs do not light.
• The rechargeable batteries are empty (no sunlight on the solar cell for a longer period of time,
e.g. during bad weather conditions or wintertime).
• The rechargeable batteries are empty upon first use. Wait for one or two sunny days so there is
enough natural light to sufficiently charge the rechargeable batteries.
• The on/off switch must be at position „ON“ in order for the solar module to charge the rechar
-
geable batteries so the PIR motion sensor can activate the LED spotlights in the dark.
• The rechargeable batteries are not properly installed.
• The PIR motion sensor is poorly positioned.
• The PIR motion sensor activates the LED spotlights in the dark only.
• The PIR motion sensor only reacts when it detects temperature changes within the detection
range (e.g. when a person moves in front of a cool background).
The LEDs light up only briefly.
• If the PIR motion sensor detects a change in temperature within the detection range, the LED
spotlights are only activated for 30 seconds..
• Check whether the solar module is correctly positioned and not obstructed by any objects or
plants.
• The rechargeable batteries are exhausted and do not provide any power. Replace the recharge
-
able batteries with new ones.
You can also try to discharge and charge the rechargeable batteries with a standard NiMH
round cell charging device several times in order to “refresh” the rechargeable batteries. High
quality charging devices offer such a function.
