Remote control operation & settings continued
5. Time control mode A
hr is at 70% brightness, the following 3 hrs is at 100% brightness,
the following 1 hr is at 70% brightness, the following 1hr is at 50%
brightness.
1. ON/OFF
Turn the light ON or OFF (when turned OFF solar charging is disabled).
2. Sync/test
To sync the remote control with the light, press and release the button. To test,
press it once. After 10 seconds of test mode, the light goes back to the previous
mode.
3. Induction mode 40% - 100%
This mode allows a constant 40% brightness (from dusk to dawn) unless motion is
detected and then increases to 100% output for 120 seconds.
4. Induction mode 20% - 80%
This mode allows a constant 20% brightness (from dusk to dawn) unless motion
is detected and then increases to 80% brightness for 30 seconds. This mode
increases the run time of the light and is very helpful for areas with decreased
charging time frames.
5. Time control mode A
This mode is a time based control mode. After dusk the first 0.5 hr is at 70%
brightness, the following 3 hrs is at 100% brightness, the following 1 hr is at 70%
brightness, the following 1hr is at 50% brightness, and then the final 5.5 hrs or until
dawn it is at 20% brightness.
6. Time control mode B
This mode is the second time based control mode. After dusk the first 0.5 hr is at
70% brightness, the following 3 hrs is at 100% brightness, the following 1 hr is at
70% brightness, the following 1 hr is at 50% brightness, the following 4.5 hrs is at
20% brightness and the final 1hr it is at 100% brightness.
PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION!
• The average full sun exposure period in the installation location should be
above 3.5 hrs per day in order to ensure a normal battery function.
• Always install the solar light in a position with the solar panel facing the equator
for charging optimisation (north in southern hemisphere).
• For best results, adjust tilt to at least 15 degrees for northern states and up to
35 degrees for southern states. This helps with charging optimisation and self
cleaning.
• Ensure the angle of the solar panel is adjusted to capture the most sun and is
away from shade where possible.
• Please make sure you conduct these tests and checks before mounting the
solar light.
• Remove the security plug from the remote control.
• Press the ON/OFF button on the remote control.
• Check that the red indicator light within the sensor is illuminated.
• If the red indicator light within the sensor is illuminated, cover the panel and
check if the solar light turns on (normally within 1 minute).
• If the red indicator light within the sensor is not illuminated, use a charger
to charge the inbuilt battery. Chargers are not included in each box but are
available upon request. It may require a few hours to charge the inbuilt battery.
• Before installation ensure battery is charged. Reference diagram below.
• We highly recommend charging all solar lights before installation for a minimum
of 4 hours before installation to ensure maximum operation, particularly in times
of minimal sunlight or areas of limited sunlight. (lights need to be ON to enable
solar charging)
• To ensure battery life, the solar lights should be charged every 3 months when
unused.
• Ensure the pole or mounting surface you are installing the solar light on is
suitable for mounting the weight and wind effects on the solar light.
1. Remove the light and bracket from the box.
2. Install the bracket onto the light and adjust the angle to suit the installation (15-
35 degrees recommended in instructions above).
3. Use the remote control to set the operation mode. The light module will flash
twice when receiving signal from the remote control. The default setting is
induction mode 40%-100%.
4. Mount the solar light to the pole securely and adjust the LED module angle to
suit the installation.
