Solar spotlight with PIR sensor
Item no. 807611
Intended use
The product is designed for use as a decorative light source and/or to accent garden paths.
The solar cell charges the three rechargeable NiMH batteries with sucient sunlight.
A PIR motion sensor activates the LED spotlights in the dark when it detects temperature changes
within the detection range.
The solar module with integrated solar cell can either be screw mounted, set up using a ground
spike or fastened to a pole or a beam with a special pole clamp.
Choose a site for set-up with as little shade as possible so the rechargeable battery can charge
suciently.
It is imperative that you follow the safety instructions and all other information contained in this
user manual.

Functioning of the PIR motion sensor
The PIR motion sensor reacts to temperature changes in the detection range, e.g. when a person
enterstherangewhosetemperatureisdierentthanthatofthebackground(likeawall).
The range for detecting temperature changes within the detection range depends on the follo-
wing:
• Thedierenceintemperaturebetweenthemovingobjectandthebackground(surroundings)
• Thesizeofthemovingobject
• Thedistanceoftheobjecttothemotionsensor
• Ambienttemperature
Detecting temperature changes through glass is not possible.
Installation
a) Solar module
Choose a sport for set-up with as much sunlight as possible. The more sunlight that
shines on the solar cell in the solar module, the quicker and fuller the rechargeable
batterywillchargeandthelongerthelightONtimeinthedarkwillbe.
The solar module should face south and ideally should be installed so that the midday
sun shines down on the solar cell in the solar module vertically.
If you set up the product beneath trees or bushes where only a small amount of sunlight
can reach the solar cell, the rechargeable batteries will not charge suciently and the
three LED spotlights will light up at night only very briefly if at all when activated by the
PIR motion sensor.
Duringthewintermonthsorduringextendedperiodsofadverseweather,therechar-
geable battery will also not charge suciently.
Before setting up the solar module, make sure the LED spotlight and PIR motion sensor
cables reach the solar module
Wall installation
Fasten the solar module mounting foot to a stable surface using 2 screws and screw anchors if
necessary. When drilling any holes or fastening the screws, make sure not to damage and cables
or wiring.
Depending on the surface, use suitable screws and screw anchors.
Then fasten the solar module to the mounting foot.
Installation using the pole clamp
First stick the L-shaped metal bracket through the
solarmodulemountingfoot(heedproperorientation)
andpivotitoutwards90°.Seeillustrationonright.
Fit the plastic plate onto the metal bracket, then
screw on the wing nut.
To prevent injuries, the plastic cap finally should be
placed on the thread.
The clamp can be fastened to e.g. a pole or a beam,
etc. Move the plastic plate and tighten the wing nut.
Then fasten the solar module to the mounting foot.
Set-up using the ground spike
Screwthegroundspiketothesolarmoduleandstickthegroundspikewiththesolarmoduleinto
the ground e.g. in a flower a bed.
Donotuse anytoolstoinserttheground spike(e.g.ahammer).Exertingforce can
causedamagetotheproductandresultsinlossofwarranty!
b) LED spotlights
The three LED spotlights can be screw mounted or set up in a garden using the ground spike. To
usethegroundspike,youmustrstunscrewtheroundbaseplatefromtheLEDspotlights;then
screw the ground spike to the LED spotlight.
Donotuse anytoolstoinserttheground spike(e.g.ahammer).Exertingforce can
causedamagetotheproductandresultsinlossofwarranty!
Lay the cables between the LED spotlight and the solar module so that it cannot be tripped over.
Place the cable somewhere where they will not be driven over or stepped on. Also shield the
cables from sharp corners.
c) PIR motion sensor
The PIR motion sensor can either be screwed to the LED spotlights or set up using a ground
spike.
A plastic tube is included for elevated installation to increase the PIR motion sensor‘s
detection range for temperature changes.
