Simple bracket solar street light 6.1 / 8.1
How does it work ?
The battery gets loaded during daytime with the electricity produced by the
solar panel (PV).
Nighttime is detected by measuring the voltage of the solar panel :
– daytime PV voltage > 30V
– nighttime PV voltage = 0V Avoid any shadow on the solar panel (trees,
houses, traffic signs…). Shadows will considerably impact electricity
production of the panel and hence reduce recharging of the battery. Avoid
artificial light on the solar panel during nighttime. This could hinder
correct detection of sun fall by the panel and can, worst case, completely
disable switching on of the light.
Transport
Do not depalletise the solar panels before arriving at the construction site. FONROCHE guarantee is voided if the modules are handled before. All mechanical parts are collected together on a separate pallet. Do not disassemble the packages before arriving at construction site.
Reception
The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit damage immediately at receipt:
- Control if the parts have not been harmed during transport, otherwise please claim damage to the shipper within 48h after receipt (and inform FONROCHE Lighting). –
- Likewise, control the right fit bracket/pole, if any operating problem is found, claim damage to FONROCHE Lighting.
Installation must comply with the installation manual;all items provided must be installed otherwise the guarantee is voided.
Long-term storage
Power365 system:
Batteries must be stored within their original packing in a dry location.
The installation of batteries should happen before the date indicated on the
packing. Contact FONROCHE Lighting in case you need to store them longer.
Mechanical parts:
Mechanical parts must not be stored directly on the ground or near a storage
place of powdery products. The storage area should be sufficiently ventilated
to avoid any deterioration.
Poles strapping should be removed for storage periods longer than 3 weeks.
Maintenance – swap
The client is responsible for returning any defective part to FONROCHE Lighting for expertise. After receipt of the defective parts, FONROCHE Lighting will determine the guarantee validity. Depending on the result of the expertise, the defective spare part may be charged to the client if the guarantee period has expired or if the default is the result of an event out of FONROCHE Lighting responsibility (bumps, falls, unadapted handling…).

-
Assemble the luminary on the bracket
Use a draw wire (fish-tape) to draw the connector cable of the lantern through the bracket to the top.
-
Set the luminary
For all the setup, every screw/nut system must be tightened to the torque advocated by FONROCHE
Be careful setting the nuts on the top side of the luminary
See table on page 4 -
Assemble the bracket on the pole and orientation
**** Orient the luminary, fasten slightly each setscrew, and then tighten them all. -
Insert the tube into the bracket
Insert the cable into the tube.
-
Assemble the base support
Set to 20° (unless otherwise stated).
IMPORTANT
Be so attentive to the lantern cable inside the tube when passing the screws N ° 3.
-
Assemble the support for PV modules
Be careful to set the screws n°8 in the same way as illustrated in the scheme to avoid any problem when installing the battery. -
Install the first PV binding, on the ground
Install only one PV binding n°15 before erecting the pole
-
Erect the street light
Once the street light erected, go to step 9. -
Install the second binding, the battery and connect the luminary
♦ Same steps as step 7.
♦ Pass the cable under the battery.
♦ Energy Box label should be positioned always to upside (direction to PV).
Do not leave the cable hanging under the support. -
Assemble the PV
-
Orient the PV to the south
♦ Orient the PV towards the equator,
♦ Tighten the 8 setscrews,
♦ Position the luminaries straight in order to optimize the lighting. -
Connect the PV to the battery
-
Initialize the battery
-
Validate your installation
Detach one connector of each PV with the « Universal tool disconnect » n°1.

Streetlight Labeling
Last step of installation – Check-list
Checkpoints| Installer check
(write OK or no)
---|---
Are lanterns straight positioned to optimize the lighting?|
Are the 16 pressure screws installed and correctly tightened?|
Is the PV oriented to the south?
If several solar street lights are installed, are the PVs oriented towards the
same direction?|
Is the PV set to 20° tilt (unless otherwise stated)?|
Are all the cable ties installed (so that the cables will not hang anywhere)?|
Are all the parts installed on the solar streetlight?
If parts remain, please check on this manual to find out what has been
forgotten and please be careful to install everything.|
Have the nut-screws systems been correctly tightened according to the
tightening torques recommended at page 4?|
Trouble shooting
Problems | Causes | Solutions |
---|---|---|
The light remains switched on during the day | Wrong connection of the PV | · |
Check that the solar module is correctly connected to the Power 365 battery
system unit.
Defect of the solar module| · Verify open circuit voltage on the cable towards
the module. You should measure a voltage between 30 and 40 V. If not, the
module is damaged.
The light doesn’t work| Open circuit voltage during the night is higher than
detection threshold for day/night detection| · Check that the solar module
doesn’t catch stray light from the surrounding.
The light doesn’t work during installation test| Bad cables connection| ·
Check that all connectors are connected and correctly locked onto the Power
365 battery system unit.
If the installation happens too late in the evening, the system unit doesn’t
detect the solar module and the system stays in low-power transport mode.| ·
Wait until next day so that the output voltage of the solar module is high
enough.
he light doesn’t work after it has been working for several days| Batteries
are discharged| · Check the connections of the solar module.
· Check that there is no shadow on the solar module.
· Check tilt angle and orientation of the solar module.
· Wait some days if it is winter, if not call FONROCHE Lighting for further
actions.
