Outdoor solar lighting systems use solar cells which convert sunlight into electricity. Electricity is stored in batteries for use at night. SATELIS PRO solar lights are easy to install and virtually maintenance free. Using them won’t increase your electric bill. Important Considerations In order to avoid deep discharge of the battery during storage, please fully recharge your battery every 4 months. Please make sure that the light is installed in an area with sufficient sunlight irradiance. A strict minimum of 3.5 hours/day of sunshine on average is recommended. Select the right operating mode according to local codes & regula- tions, and the local sunshine conditions. Keep it away from shadows. Self-cleaning occurs when the light fixture has a minimum angle of 15 degrees. Please save these installation instructions. Read all of the instructions carefully before attempting to carry out any installation or wiring. Do not open or attempt to repair the product on your own, as it many cause serious damage and would void the product warranty. Contact your local distributor for any questions concerning the installation. Range of the light module on the lighting fixture is 20–26 feet (6–8 meters). The ideal installation spacing is >16 feet (5 meters). When installing two or more lighting fixtures on one pole, select desired operating mode before installation. Interference can cause delay or malfunction when using the remote control to change operating modes after installation. Range of the light module on the lighting fixture is 20–26 feet (6–8 meters).

Interference can cause delay or malfunction when using the remote control to change operating modes after installation. Precautions When Working With Solar Panels When the solar panel is exposed to light, a voltage appears at the output terminals of the solar panel turning it into a source of electricity. To avoid a shock hazard, make sure the solar panel is covered with an opaque (dark) covering such as paper or cloth, during the installation. Do not make contact with the terminals when the panel is exposed to sunlight or any other light source.

brighter than other outdoor solar lights, and their performance overall is more reliable. 2. To charge the battery fully may take up to 12 hours. 3. The rechargeable battery can work continuously for 10 hours at full power. 4. The output will be reduced to 40% when the battery is below 40% of its capacity. 5. The battery will stop charging when the ambient temperature is below -40°F or above 140°F. Battery Status is indicated by the red/green indicator on the light fixture as follows: > Slow red light flashing (Every 2.5s) = Working > Slow red flashing (Every 5s)= Open circurt > Red light continuously on = Non-working > Quick red flashing (Every 0.5s)= Charge fault > Quick red flashing (Every 0.1s)= Over current or Short circuit Storage To avoid over discharge of the battery during storage, please rechargethe lighting fixture every 4 months. Use the dedicated charger to charge, and then reset the switch when done. 03 Battery Notes (IAP) Intelligent Adaptive Program Battery Control Technology In order to extend the off-grid autonomy of the SATELIS PRO 50W under shade trees, heavy rain, and thick clouds, our controllers now integrate an adaptive smart control feature to actively track battery capacity and adjust light output accordingly. Before integrating this feature, selecting a light output percentage on the remote would yield an accurate percentage of max LED brightness. Activating the IAP, the controller actively monitors the battery and regulates the electrical current to the LEDs. The controller makes the light output of a selected percentage on the remote relative to battery capacity rather than max LED output. This smart-control feature can increase the fixture’s off-grid performance by up to 40% ATTENTION Please contact SOLTECH for any battery questions. After connecting the wires between solar panel and the light, SATELIS PRO 50W will automatically turn on, and the indicator will begin flashing every 2.5 seconds. The light fixture will then turn on for 1 minute and then shut off again. This means the fixture is switching from open circuit mode to standard working mode. If you wish to shut off the light, you must first cover the solar panel, then press the off button on the remote. You can also just press the off button to turn off the light at night. When the solar panel detects light, the fixture will activate and resume normal operation, again. Battery pack Disconnect wires Disconnect wires Battery Replacement 1.

1. Installation and wiring must comply with the State and National Electrical Codes. 2. The SATELIS PRO 50W model is intended for outdoor use only and should not be installed in an unventilated area. it must be installed in an environment within the operating temperatures defined for the product. 3. The average sunshine in the installation area should be above 3.5 hours/day in order to ensure full function of the light fixture. Avoid areas with shades. 4. Before installation, if applicable, ensure the light pole and its foundation are solid enough to support the light fixture(s). 5. Before installation, ensure that the battery is fully charged. Install during sunny days if possible. 6. Before installation, press the ON/OFF key in the remote control and check whether it shows a red light on the indicator. Cover the panel and check if the light module turns on normally within 1 minute. After Installation The light fixture will automatically turn on at night and turn off during daylight. Important Considerations Orient the solar panel facing the equator (e.g. facing south if in northern hemisphere). Have a tilt angle of at least 15° to avoid dust accumulation (0°=horizontal plane).

relies on stored solar energy for autonomy. Angling your solar panels properly can boost the power intake of your solar lighting system. You want to angle your solar panels at a tilt based on the area’s latitude. Tip You can increase the tilt 15° in the winter or decrease 15° in the summer. In this way you can get the maximum sunlight to recharge the battrey. Strong sunlight Normal sunlight Less sunlight Key The area will dictate the installation of the fixtures and will sometimes prevent the lights from facing south. But that’s okay! Panels facing West & East won’t get as much light as Southern facing panels, but will still collect a good amount of sunlight. A North facing panel also works, but it will take longer to charge than any other direction. This would mean that the solar charge will be less optimal if installations are facing North. 0° 15° 15° 45° 60° 45° Arkansas Louisiana Mississippi Alabama Georgia South Carolina North Carolina Virginia West Virginia Kentucky Illinois Wisconsin Iowa Missouri Michigan Indiana Ohio Pennsylvania New York Massachusetts Rhode Island Connecticut New Jersey Delaware Maryland Tennessee Florida World Wide Panel Angles Best Facing Direction of Solar Panel Best Worst OK OK New Hampshire Vermont Maine 30° 30° 07 Panel Angle

When all cables are connected and solar panel detectes sunlight, the fixture will automatically turn on. To test, press the “Test” button once, the LED light will turn on to indicate the fixture has been turned on. During the day time, the indicator will slowly flashing red. That means the battery is charging. When using the remote for the first time, please remove the plastic piece at the bottom to make the remote turn on. 16ft–33ft The range of the remote control to the indicator is 16ft (Day time) to 33ft (Night time). Because the sunlight will impact the signal of the remote control, we suggest our users to setup the mode before they install the light. 3. 40%~100% Motion Sensor Mode Constant 40% brightness (turns on at dusk, turns off at dawn); 100% brightness turns on for 2 minutes when motion is detected. 4. 20%~80% Motion Sensor Mode (Default) Constant 20% brightness (turns on at dusk, turns off at dawn); 80% brightness turns on for 2 minutes when motion is detected. 5.
