02 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing SATELIS THERMO Urban Lighting Products.
Introduction
The high-performance SATELIS THERMO series is a municipal-grade solar outdoor
lighting system that provides bright off-grid light. This heavy-duty
commercial dedicated series is ideal for highways, city streets, large parking
lots, and area lighting. It comes in a wide choice of configurations, lighting
outputs, and recommended pole heights. The SATELIS THERMO series is optimized
to provide years of bright, reliable light. Industry-leading efficiency, dense
batteries, and advanced controls to guarantee the highest possible off-grid
autonomy.
Important
In order to avoid deep discharge of the battery during storage, please fully
recharge your battery every 4 months. Please make sure that the light is
installed in an area with sufficient sunlight irradiance. A strict minimum of
3.5 hours/day of sunshine on average is recommended. Select the right
operating mode according to the local legislation needs and the local sunshine
conditions. Keep it away from shadows. Self-cleaning available when the light
fixture have minimum angle of 15 degrees.
Please save these instructions. Read all of the instructions carefully before attempting to carry out any installation or wiring. Do not open or attempt to repair the product on your own, as it many cause serious damage and would void the product warranty. Contact your local distributor for any questions concerning the installation.
Range of the light module on the lighting fixture is 20–26 feet (6–8 meters). The ideal installation spacing is >16 feet(5 meters). When installing two or more lighting fixtures on one pole, select desired operating mode before installation. Interference can cause delay or malfunction when using the remote control to change operating modes after installation.
Precautions when working with solar panels
When the solar panel is exposed to sunlight, a voltage appears at the output
terminals of the solar panel turning it into a source of electricity. To avoid
a shock hazard, make sure the solar panel is covered with an opaque (dark)
later such as paper or cloth during the installation. Do not make contact with
the terminals when the panel is exposed to sunlight or any other light source.

05 Battery Notes
- The LiFePO4 -battery-powered SATELIS THERMO lights are visibly brighter than other outdoor solar lights, and their performance overall is more reliable.
- To charge the battery fully may take up 6 to 12 hours.
- Output will be reduced to 40% when the battery is below 40% of its capacity.
- Battery will stop charging when the ambient temperature is below 5°F or above 145°F.
Battery Status is indicated by the red/green indicator on the lighting
fixture as follows:
> Slow red light flashing (Every 2.5s) = Working
> Slow red flashing (Every 5s)= Open circurt
> Red light continuously on = Non-working
> Quick red flashing (Every 0.5s)= Charge fault
> Quick red flashing (Every 0.1s)= Over current or Short circurt
Storage
To avoid over discharge of the battery during storage, please recharge the
lighting fixture every 4 months. Use the dedicated charger to charge, reset
the switch when done.
Battery Replacement
1. Loosen the screws of the battery pack.
2. Disconnect the wire connectors.
3. Take out the battery pack.
4. Replace with a new one, connect the wire connectors.
5. Tighten the screws.
(IAP) Intelligent Adaptive Program Battery Control Technology
In order to extend the off-grid autonomy of the SATELIS THERMO 50W under shady trees, heavy rain, and thick clouds, our controllers now integrate an adaptive smart control feature to actively track battery capacity and adjust light output accordingly. Before integrating this feature, selecting a light output percentage on the remote would yield an accurate percentage of max LED brightness. Now with (IAP), the controller actively monitors the battery and regulates the electrical current to the LEDs. The controller makes light output of the selected percentage on the remote relative to battery capacity rather than max LED output. This smart-control feature can increase our off- grid performance by up to 40%.

06 Installation and Wiring Compliance
- Installation and wiring must comply with the State and National Electrical Codes.
- The SATELIS THERMO 50W models are intended for outdoor use only and should not be installed in an unventilated area, and shall be installed in an environment within the operational temperatures defined for the product.
- The average sunshine in the installation area should be above 3.5 hours/day in order to ensure full function of the lighting fixture. Avoid areas with shades.
- Before installation, if applicable, please ensure the light pole and its foundation are solid enough to withstand the lighting fixture(s).
- Before installation, please ensure that the battery is fully charged. Install during sunny days if possible.
- Before installation, please press the ON/OFF key in the remote control and check whether it shows a red light on the indicator. Please cover the panel and check if the light module turns on normally within 1 minute.
After Installation
The lighting fixture will automatically turn on at night and turn off during
daylight.
Important
Always orient the solar panel facing the equator (e.g. facing south if in
northern hemisphere).
Always have a tilt angle of at least 15° to avoid dust accumulation
(0°=horizontal plane).

10 Panel Angle
The Solar charge in a battery pack won’t last forever. The off–grid system relies on stored solar energy for autonomy. Angling your solar panels properly can boost the power intake of your solar lighting system. You want to angle your solar panels at a tilt based on the area’s latitude.
Alaska
Tip
You can increase the tilt 15° in the winter or decrease 15° in the summer. In
this way you can get the maximum sunlight to recharge the battery.
Hawaii
Key
Strong sunlight Normal sunlight Less sunlight
Best Facing Direction of Solar Panel
The area will dictate the installation of the fixtures and will sometimes prevent the lights from facing south. But that’s okay! Panels facing West & East won’t get as much light as Southern facing panels, but will still collect a good amount of sunlight. A North facing panel also works, but it will take longer to charge than any other direction. This would mean that the solar charge will be less optimal if installations are facing North.

A When using the remote for the first time, please remove the plastic piece at the bottom to make the remote turn on.
B The range of the remote control to the indicator is 16ft (Day time) to 33ft (Night time). Because the sunlight will impact the signal of the remote control, we suggest our users to setup the mode before they install the light.
1. On/Off
When off is selected, the light will stop working. The solar panel will not
charge the battery and the battery will not supply electricity to the light.
2. Connect/Test
Remote control device can be connected with any lighting fixture.
When all cables are connected and solar panel detectes sunlight, the fixture
will automatically turn on. To test, press the “Test” button once, the LED
light will turn on to indicate the fixture has been turned on. During the day
time, the indicator will slowly flashing red. That means the battery is
charging.
