INSTALLATION

Location – It is important that the installation location is carefully considered, avoiding shady areas. The best solar panel position is south facing, however the light can work facing in other directions when in full sunshine. The PIR must face the direction in which the motion is to be detected. Ensure there is no other lights which could interfere with the Sensors, imitating daylight.
To be mounted on a wall or lamp post at a height of 3-6m.
LAMP POST – Straight Pole (50-60mm diameter)
TURN ON THE LAMP PRIOR TO INSTALLATION (see modes & settings)

  1. Ensure the 4 x bottom socket screws on the fitting are tightened with the allen key provided.
  2. Hook a U-Brackets around the back of the lamp post at the desired height and insert them into one set of centre holes of the lamp bracket from behind.
  3. Fasten the 2 x washers, lock washers and nuts onto the front of the U-Bracket at the inner side of the lamp bracket to secure the lamp in position. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with second U-Bracket.
  4. Optional Tilt – loosen the 2 x screws on both sides of the lamp to adjust the lamp angle. Adjust up to 20 degrees upwards and 10 degrees downwards. Retighten screws when positioned at desired angle.

HIWAY MAX TECHNOLOGY

The Hiway MAX is a highly efficient solar light with high capacity LiFePO4 batteries and a fast charging Monocrystalline solar panel. This means that even on cloudy and rainy days, it will re-charge efficiently. The high battery capacity gives enough power for up to 6 nights. The 4800 lumen light output is impressively bright, powerful enough to illuminate car parks, driveways and paths, making them safe to navigate at night.
In particularly long periods of dull weather, illumination time is likely to be affected. To boost charge, turn the light off for 1-2 nights which will result in the light charging but not illuminating. Then turn the light back on as normal. It is recommended that Mode B (Motion Sensor Mode) is used at times when weather is poor to help retain charge.

MODES / SETTINGS

The Hiway MAX is an auto-adjust, multifunction solar light. All modes will only function during darkness. When switched on during daytime, the LEDs will illuminate initially and then turn off after approximately 4 seconds.
Lamp automatically flashes once after every time the Main Button / Remote Control Buttons are pressed to confirm successful programming.
BUTTON CONTROL
Press the main power button on the lamp to select the relevant working mode

  • Press once for On / Mode A – Constant Lighting (from dusk, 4 hours at 60% brightness, then, sensor mode – Pre-set)
  • Press a second time for Mode B – PIR Mode (100% full brightness when movement is detected, then, returns to 30% brightness after 20 seconds of no detection)
  • Press a third time to turn off (remote control will not work if switched off at main button)

NOTE: Main Button Control settings are factory pre-set. To change time and brightness, the remote control must be used.
