4. Related information(Definitions)
Battery Under-voltage: When the battery voltage is under the low-voltage
protection setting, the output current will be stopped.
Recovery-voltage: The battery is allowed to output only when the correct voltage
is restored.
Lighting control: PV voltage is under the setting of lighting voltage, light’s on; PV
voltage is above the setting of lighting voltage, light’s off.
Timer control mode: The Timing Control can be set in five different intervals. Each
Interval can be set from 0-9hours. This can help save power/current.
Sensor mode: When infrared or microwave sensor detects movement, the light will
be brighter, otherwise lights will go out once no motion is detected. The lighting
can be adjusted as desired.
Delay sensor mode: During the lighting period, the primary method of lighting is
timer control mode, the secondary method of lighting is sensor mode.
Morning light mode: Lighting before sunrise
Power saving mode: when this mode is activated, the controller will adjust the
output based on battery voltage.
For example:
Assuming the battery setting as below
Average voltage: 12.5V
Under-voltage: 9V
Recovery: 11.1V
Power saving: on
Start saving power: 11V
Super saving power: 10V

battery will operate.
2. Start Saving Power and Super Saving Power must be above Under-voltage,
Start Saving Power voltage must be above Super Saving Power voltage
settings.
3. Only G3 has “model 1” & “model 2” options. G4 and G5 are “power saving
models”, same as “model 1”.
