Operation

Before using for the first time

Activate house number light by setting the programme selector switch to ON.
The house number light stays in test mode for one minute before it starts to work in its normal operating mode.

Test mode

In test mode the house number light is switched ON regardless of ambient brightness. The red LED is also lit in test mode. No LED light can be seen during the day because of its low level of brightness.

Setting the chosen operating mode by programme selector switch

OFF: factory setting.
The power consumers (LEDs) are deactivated.
ON: house number light active. It switches ON when ambient light falls below the light level threshold (2 lux).
Depending on battery charge, the house number light is adjusted to optimum brightness. The house number light switches OFF again automatically at dawn.

Charging the battery manually
