3. Intended use
The PIR Solar Lamp is distinguished by its bright light and selectable energy con-
ervation switch. The light source is a small 5 mm LED and a high-output 1 W, 4
s
chip LED.
The solar module in the upper section recharges the installed rechargeable battery.
When dark, the lamp automatically activates and then switches off automatically in
the morning or when the rechargeable batteries are out of energy.
The solar lamp can be operated in 2 modes. In the time of year where there's a low
amount of sun, the winter switching (energy conservation switch) can be used with
the PIR Movement Switch. In the summertime or in countries with a high level of
sunshine, the summer switching without the PIR Movement Switch is selected.
The product is designed for usage in the private area.
Note: Please make sure that the solar lamp is located in the southern direction and
that the sunshine freely reaches the solar module, i.e. is not blocked by shade.
When setting up the lamp in an area where there is no real access to sunshine, the
product cannot be made use of. In the winter, the solar module must always be kept
free of snow
.
4. Assembly and Start-Up Procedure
1. Carefully remove the parts from the packaging and unpack the accessories.
2. Look for a suitable assembly site with access to enough sunshine on the solar
module of the lamp.
3. Activate the lamp with the two slide switch on the underside of the solar head
(Illustration 1).
- The switch with the denotation
ting the lamp.
The operation mode is selected with the other switch:
-
Winter mode (energy conservation switch): When dark, the small LED on the
A.
interior of the lamp turns on and the lamp lights up as an orientation lamp.
When determining a change in warmth before the movement switch (movement), a 1 W super-bright LED switches on for app. 30 seconds after determining the last movement and lights up at a level several times stronger. As such,
a longer period of readiness time for the lamp is achieved in the winter or during
bad weather.
B.
Summer mode: when dark, the 1 W LED automatically turns on and lights up
until the morning or the rechargeable batteries are out of energy
4. Remove the plastic ground spike from the pipe on the underside of the lamp
(Illustration 2), twist the spike around and stick the ground spike into the pipe of
the lamp (Illustration 3). The lamp must also be mounted on the foot of the retaining plate with the accompanying screws or nails. The accompanying nails are
only suited for assembly in grass or sandy soil. Under no circumstances should
the lamp be nailed into wood. The solar lamp is now activated.
Note: You generally cannot count on there being a long lamp duration in the winter
months. If the lamp doesn't yet function on the first evening, please wait until the
lamp has been recharged through one day of sunshine.
"ON" and "OFF" is the main switch for activa-
