Therefore, please keep to the operating manual.
The accident prevention rules of the association of the industrial trade coope-
rative association for electric plants and working material are to be considered
in industrial environments.
3. Intended Use and Function
The solar underwater spotlight is designed for outdoor operation.
The 6 spotlights are designed in protection class IP 68 and may therefore
be used under water.
The solar module is designed in protection class IP 44 (splashproof) and
may also be used outdoors. Immersing the solar module into water is not
permitted. The individual cable splices shall always be connected rmly and
the respective protective cap shall always be closed tightly. The spotlights
have to be taken out of the water during the winter and in case of frost. This
product is constructed in protection class III (protective extra-low voltage).
The light is automatically switched on at darkness and is switched off in the
morning light or when the batteries are discharged. The maximum duration
of illumination with a full battery and without recharging amounts to approx.
8 hours. The solar module installed in the upper part of the housing charges
the integrated storage battery. The illumination may be switched on and off
via a switch on the back side of the solar module.
This product is not a toy and is designed for use in a private environment.
Note: Make sure that the solar module is preferably faced to the South
and that shadows are avoided. The product can not be used when faced
to the North.
4. Start-up
1. Carefully take out the parts from the package and unwrap the
accessories.
2. The 6 LED light rings may be attached to the
disc holders. This disc may then be lled with
small stones in order to better x the disc in
the pond.
3. Now look for an appropriate place where to mount the solar module
within reach of the spotlights. Please make sure that this place faces
south and that no shadow falls onto the solar module. The solar module
may be inserted into the ground by means of a ground spike. The ball
joint is used in order to optimally adjust the solar module towards the
sun.
4. Now connect the spotlights, T-pieces according to the drawing below.
Note: The plugs are moisture-proof. Firmly connect the plugs, pay
attention to a secure seat of the gasket at the plug and rmly close the
screw cap.
5. Now insert the plug into the socket on the
back side of the solar module.
6. Now put the switch (1) on the back side of the
solar module into the position “ON”. The solar
spotlights are now activated.
5. LED Display
A red LED is installed apart from the ON-/OFF-switch on the back of the
solar module. In position “ON”, the red LED ashes if the integrated batteries
are charged by the solar module. At darkness and when the underwater
spotlight is switched on, the LED will change into a permanent light.
This LED display serves for the function check of the solar module.
6. Exchange of the Storage Batteries
The capacity of the batteries will become
weak after one to two years which requires
an exchange of the batteries. The batteries
are available from your (local) dealer or the
manufacturer.
1. Unscrew the 4 screws on the back of the
battery compartment an remove the cover.
2. Remove the batteries from the holders.
3. Insert the new batteries with correct polarity
and close the housing in reverse order.
Note: Used batteries have to be disposed of in an environmentally sound
way and do not belong into the household waste. Your dealer is required by
law to take back old batteries.
7. Malfunctions
Lamp is not activated/switched on at darkness
- Is the lamp switched on? Are the plugs of the spotlights inserted rmly?
- A source of extraneous light (e.g. street lamp) simulates daylight on the
solar module and prevents the activation. Place the lamp at a darker
place.
At darkness, the lamp is not activated at all or only for a short time.
- Incorrect polarity when exchanging the batteries?
- Battery weak or defective? Exchange the batteries or charge them with
a commercially available battery charger!
- Are the plug connections of the spotlights inserted tightly?
