•Always keep the solar panel surface clean free of dirt and debris. Clean it periodically as required with
soft cloth, water, do not use chemicals. Do not use abrasive materials. A dirty solar panel will charge the
battery with less power which may result in shortening the battery life or malfunctioning of the unit.
•Ensure the solar panel always receives maximum sunlight. Avoid shading. Tilt the panel so that the
sunlight falls perpendicular on the panel.
•During installation, take care not to damage or scratch the sensor window.
•When fitting is stored and not used for prolonged period of time it is recommended to store the
battery charged.
•If you wish to store your light indoors, follow the steps below to prevent damage to the battery: - Turn
the switch OFF. - Store the fitting with solar panel exposed to room light or outdoor light.
•During prolonged storage, unit must be fully charged once every four months on the full sunlight for a
period of about 10 hours.
•Not suitable for commercial use.
The solar security light will provide optimal performance and range when installed on approximately
1.8m-2.5m height above the ground, on the wall as shown on FIG 1. The detection range is
approximately 4m-10m by 110 degrees, refer Fig2.
1) Select a suitable location where the solar panel can receive full sunlight. Ideally the solar panel should
face north. The sensor should face towards the field where the movement is expected across the
detection area Fig 2. (Note that the sensor is not adjustable.)
2) Remove the screw ‘S’ from the bottom of the base Fig 4.
3) Remove the mounting bracket ‘A’ from fitting ‘B’ by sliding if off.
4) Drill two suitable size holes in the mounting surface. Attach the mounting bracket ‘A’ to the mounting
surface securely using suitable fixings.
5) Slide the fitting ‘B’ back onto the mounting bracket ‘A’ and replace screw ‘S’ removed earlier. Tighten
it firmly.
6) Rotate the solar panel towards North more as possible; if unsure use a compass to determine north.
7) Adjust the solar panel “P’ inclination angle using arm ‘C’ behind the panel. Slide the arm ‘C’ into the
appropriate slot ‘D’ on the base and push it in until it clicks, refer Fig 4.
8) Note that the solar panel inclination angle varies from your geographical location and the time of the
year. Ideally the sunlight should fall perpendicular on the solar panel at midday.
10) Adjust the LED light panel ‘L’ towards the area you wish to illuminate.
11) Adjust the TIME, the SENSITIVITY and the LUX to the desired level. The dials are located on the
bottom of the sensor.
12) Allow charging for minimum 10 hours.
13) Turn the switch ‘E’ ON, located on the bottom of the base, Fig 3.
NOTE: For initial charge, turn the switch ‘OFF’ and allow the sunlight to charge the battery for minimum
10 hours in summer or for 3 sunny days in winter. Depending of the frequency of usage the charging
process may need to be repeated in winter time to maintain normal operation.
Before usage charge the battery for minimum of 10 hours. The solar security light is equipped with
ON/OFF switch and a PIR (Passive Infra-red) motion detector. To operate the LED light the switch must
be turned on.
A multi-cell technology Fresnel-style lens is used to divide the sensors basic detection range into
multiple separate segments or zones. The sensor automatically scans for movement between these
zones, and then will activate the LED light when it detects movements, depending on the Sensitivity and
Lux setting.
