ASB HOUSING
Made of ABS, shock resistant, light, and rigid.
Anti-UV treated.
Two 2.6 Ah lithium batteries replaceable, lifespan of 4 to 6 years.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ONE BUTTON ONLY FOR THE 3 OPERATION MODES
- – SMART MODE, automatic intensity adjustment.
- — PERSONALIZED MODE, adjustable from 0 to 500 lumens.
- – FORCED ON MODE, adjustable from 5 to 500 lumens.
FIRST SHORT CLICK ON CONTROL BUTTON = MODE 1 – SMART MODE = VISUALIZED BY ONE
FLASH
ASB switches on automatically at nightfall. tt knows both how much energy it
has and how many hours it must provide light for. It adapts its intensity to
remain active all night, with greater power generated at the beginning and end
of the night. It switches off automatically at sunrise.
- The ASB automatically optimizes its level of brightness in accordance with its battery strength.
- We can therefore guarantee optimum performance based on your location and local weather conditions.
To lock this mode: First enable SMART MODE as instructed above. Then press and
hold the control button for 10 seconds until the LEDs flash rapidly. SMART
MODE is now locked.
To unlock this mode: Press and hold the control button until the LEDS flash
rapidly for 10 seconds. SMART MODE is now unlocked. SMART MODE will still be
enabled until another mode is selected.
Motion detector is on by default in this mode.
To switch the motion detector on or off, the ASB must first be switched off.
Then press and hold the control button for 10 seconds, until the LEDs flash
rapidly = setting confirmed.
SECOND SHORT CLICK ON CONTROL BUTTON = MODE 2 – PERSONALIZED MODE = VISUALIZED
BY TWO FLASHES (Adjustable from 0 to 500 lumens)
At nightfall, the ASB automatically switches on whenever a movement is
detected. In PERSONALIZED MODE, it switches on to the pre-set brightness
level. The ASB switches off automatically at daybreak (standby power pre-set
to 0 lumens).
Motion detector on (lighting at 500 lumens for 30 seconds).
DIMMING INFORMATION: pauses at 150 and 300 Im (when setting the level of
brightness, the ASB pauses at these levels before continuing after 0.5 s).
Press and hold the control button to change the settings. To reverse the
direction of the power level, take your finger off the control button, then
press and hold again.
Motion detector is on by default in this mode.
To switch the motion detector on or off, the ASB must first be switched off.
Then press and hold the control button for 10 seconds, until the LEDs flash

THIRD SHORT CLICK ON ADJUSTMENT BUTTON = MODE 3 – FORCED ON MODE = VISUALIZED
BY THREE FLASHES
(Adjustable from 5 to 500 lumens)
The ASB switches on at a pre-set level of 500 lumens, with 5h to 200h of
lighting autonomy when fully charged, depending on the level of brightness
selected. Motion detector off (the ASB remains on until the batteries have run
down).
DIMMING INFORMATION: pauses at 150 and 300 Im (when setting the level of
brightness, the ASB pauses at these levels before continuing after 0.5 s).
Press and hold the control button to change the settings. To reverse the
direction of the power level, take your finger off the control button, then
press and hold again.
FOURTH SHORT CLICK ON THE CONTROL BUTTON = OFF
USEFUL INFORMATION
When the ASB flashes (rapidly three times every 10 seconds), it means that
the battery is more than 75% charged.
If the battery is completely empty, the ASB will switch itself back on at the
last recorded setting as soon as it has sufficient charge.
For optimum use, do not cover the solar panel.
