• The spotlight works best if the sensor area of the motion
sensor is crossed horizontally. As far as possible, install the
motion sensor in such a way that the main direction of
approach is not straight in front of the sensor.
Ideal installation location for the solar panel
The solar panel is the main source of current for the spotlight.
It absorbs sunlight, converts it into electricity and then uses this
to charge the rechargeable batteries. The longer the solar panel
is subjected to direct sunlight, the quicker the rechargeable
batteries will charge. In order to ensure that the spotlight
functions optimally, please note the following requirements:
• Position the solar panel
12
in a place where it can absorb as
much sunlight as possible throughout the day. Positioning it
so that it is south-facing and therefore exposed to direct
sunlight with an inclination angle of approx.30°–40° is the
best way of achieving this.
• Avoid shade of any kind and ensure that it is not covered
(e.g. by dirt, foliage or snow).
• Do not mount the solar panel behind a pane of glass, as
this will filter out infrared rays necessary to charge the
rechargeable batteries.
• When choosing an installation location, note the length of
the charging cable (5m).
• To avoid condensation build-up, ensure that the drain
openings on the back of the solar panel are facing
downwards.
