General safety precautions

**** Hazard from vapours or electrolyte fluid!
Vapours or electrolyte fluid may escape if the rechargeable battery is damaged or used improperly. Coming into contact with them may result in severe injury (e.g. loss of sight, acid burns).

Never open the rechargeable battery enclosure or the rechargeable battery itself.
Do not allow vapours or electrolyte fluid to come into contact with your eyes. In the event of contact with eyes:
– Do not rub your eyes.
– Immediately rinse eyes with plenty of clean water (such as tap water).
– Seek medical advice.
Do not touch any electrolyte fluid that has escaped.
Immediately move product away from naked flamed or sources of heat.
Immediately remove contaminated clothing.

**Hazard from LED light!**
Looking directly into the LED light when it is ON could damage your retina.

Never look into the LED light at short range or for any prolonged period (> 5 minutes).
– The light must not be installed in explosive atmospheres.
– For troublefree operation, choose an installation site that is not exposed to vibration or shock.
– Protect the solar panel from mechanical strain (e.g, tree branches).
– The product must not be modified or altered in any way.

XSolar GL-S

Proper use

Installation

Check all components for damage.
Do not use the product if the solar panel or LED panel is damaged.

Operating reliability will be limited if the product is used in adverse conditions (e.g. installed in shade or behind glass, solar panel not facing the right direction)

Choose an appropriate site with plenty of sun light for installing the solar panel (facing south).
Avoid shade from porches, overhanging roofs or trees.
Pay attention to detection reach (Ill. 4.1).
Assemble baseplate and profile (Ill. 4.2).
loosely screw into place and then tighten screws alternately on completing installation.
Mark drill holes (Ill. 4.3).
Drill holes and fit rawl plugs (Ill. 4.4).
Screw baseplate to the standing surface (Ill. 4.4).
Remove light holder (Ill. 4.5).
Make settings (Ill. 4.6).
➔ “5. Operation”
Screw light holder to SensorLight (Ill. 4.7).
Mount SensorLight on profile (Ill. 4.8).
Aim LED panel with motion detector in the right direction (Ill. 3.4).
Aim solar panel to get the strongest sunlight for the longest time possible (Ill. 3.4).
Check compass (for southfacing position) (Ill. 3.4).

Operation

Before using for the first time
• Activate light by setting the programme selector switch to P2.
The light stays in test mode for one minute before it starts to work in programme P2.
Test mode
During the test sequence the light works in daytime mode.
On detecting movement, the light switches ON for 1 minute with a stayON time of 10 sec. irre spectively of lightlevel setting. The programme is automatically activated after this time elapses.
The red LED stays ON all the time in test mode.
Setting the chosen operating mode by programme selector switch
– P0: OFF (factory setting).
Loads (LED panel and sensor) are deactivated.
– P1: Sensor mode.
Light only switches ON after receiving a signal from the motion detector.
– P2: Sensor mode with basic light level.
Light switches ON after receiving a signal from the motion detector.
Light permanently ON in the morning and evening hours at reduced basic light level.
Stay-ON time and brightness
– StayON time is determined when the light is used for the first time.
– During the first night, basic lighting is switched OFF in the morning in programme 2.
– StayON time and brightness can be automati cally matched to ambient conditions, e.g. stay ON time is longer in summer than it is in winter.
– Basic lighting level provides nighttime illuminati on at approx. 3% light output. Light is switched to maximum output when movement is identified in the detection zone. The light then returns to basic lighting level (approx. 3%).
The period basic lighting is provided for is mat ched to ambient conditions. Using basic lighting reduces light availability. If it is not needed, it is recommended to switch it OFF (P1) to ensure lighting availability in less sunny periods.
Charging the battery manually
The red LED in the motion detector flashes if battery capacity is too low (e.g. in poor weather).
The battery can be recharged with a standard micro USB charging adapter (not included). Battery recharging can take up to 6 hours.
Risk of damage to property from penetrating moisture
When open, the micro USB charging socket (E) is not protected from the ingress of water.
• Only recharge batteries in a dry room.
• Connect micro USB charging adapter.
– Red LED flashes: charging in progress
The LED may take up to 10 minutes to start flashing if the battery has run down to very low level.
– Red LED shows: battery is fully charged.

Remove micro USB charging adapter.
– Red LED goes out.

Risk of damage to property when light is not in use
If the light is not used for a prolonged period (e.g. in storage), the battery may suffer irreparable damage from exhaustive discharge.

Set programme selector switch to P0.
The battery must be on full charge before taking the light out of service.
Regularly charge the battery while the light is not in use.
