Start-up − The LEDs are permanently installed and cannot be replaced. If the light source has reached the end of its service life, replace the entire spotlight. − Stop using the spotlight if its plastic parts exhibit cracks or breaks or are deformed. Only replace damaged parts with corresponding original spare parts.
Start-up 1. Take the spotlight out of the packaging. 2. Check to make sure that the delivery is complete (see Fig. A and B). 3. Check whether the spotlight or the individual parts show signs of damage. If this is the case, do not use the spotlight. Contact the manufacturer at the service address specified on the warranty card.
Start-up Choosing an installation location Ideal installation location for the spotlight Motion sensors are electronic sensors that recognise movement in their environment and work as electrical switches, responding to this movement. Heat sources are sensed using the lens. If a heat source in the sensor’s range changes or moves, the spotlight will switch one for the configured time.
Page 17
Start-up • 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.
Assembly Assembly WARNING! Risk of electric shock! Improper installation may result in an electric shock. − Ensure that there are no cables or other electrical lines behind the location where the spotlight is attached. To avoid triggering the spotlight unintentionally, the spotlight must be fitted firmly.
Operation 6. Place the housing of the spotlight onto the rear panel. 7. Fasten the housing on the rear panel by screwing the fixing screw tight. Mounting the solar panel 1. Choose a suitable surface for installation (see chapter “Choosing an installation location”). 2.
