“Rimini LED”

These instructions relate ONLY to this product and contain important infor­mation 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 regula­tions. The conformity was proved. The relevant declarations and documentati­on 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

!

- 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.

- 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.

- 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. 5 Wp solar module with ground spike.

2. Submerged pump in a plastic housing with a 5 m connection cable.

3. Accumulator box with a 6,4 V/ 1,5 Ah Li-Fe 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 accumu­lator box. It contains important information and notes!

handling or not following the safety instructions.

1. Completely unroll the connection cable at the pump.

2. Attach the adapter to the pump outlet 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.

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.

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.

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 shadow­free place.

Note: Before switching on the system, please carefully read the manual of the
accumulator box and pump. 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.

6. Malfunctions

Solar pump does not work:

- Accumulator box switched-on?

- After a long standstill in winter, it is required to charge the accumulator via

the solar module. The accumulator should be exchanged every 2 - 3 years.

- Accumulator is discharged. Wait for sunshine and, if required, switch-off the

accumulator box for one day and have it recharged.

- Pump clogged. Cleaning according to the manual of the pump!

- Check plug connection at the cable.

7. Storage during the winter

In case of sub-zero temperatures, i.e. during the winter, the pump and the accumu­lator box have to be stored at a warm place. Before storing it, clean the pump with
lukewarm water as described in the manual of the pump. Switch-off the accumulator
box (position “OFF”), for further notes, see manual of the accumulator box.
