LX25, LX50, LX95 SERIES
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• Always install the lighting fixture on the pole before installing the battery.
• The lighting fixture should never be handled with battery installed inside.
• The battery compartment contains a "quick connector" to connect the battery, identified as "BATTERY".
• The battery compartment also contains two additional wires marked "EXTERNAL SOLAR PANEL *OP-
TIONAL* ". These two wires must never be connected to the battery, they are used when an additional
external solar panel is installed.
INSTALLATION
1. Install the lighting fixture on a pole with an outer diameter of:
• 101mm (4in) for the LX25 and LX50 (round or square sleeve is available for LX25, LX50);
• 127mm (5in) LX95 (square sleeve only on the LX95);
2. Slide the lighting fixture on top of the pole;
3. Use the 1/4"-20 bolt to secure the luminaire to the pole, choose the drilling pattern according to your model
(LX25-50 or LX95);
4. Once the light is in place, open the battery box door and insert the battery. The battery is standing up for the
LX95. The battery is lying on its side for the LX25 and LX50 as shown in the figures below;
5. Make a quick connection with the quick connect cable;
6. A green indicator light indicates that the luminaire is functionnal.
7. Close the battery box door, the installation is now complete.
LEARNING DELAY
The light requires a 24-hour delay to operate properly according to it's program.

  • Page 2 LX25, LX50, LX95 SERIES ORIENTATION AND AUTONOMY 1.1 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES To avoid a loss of autonomy and a malfunction: Solar Module Autonomy Period Orientation losses • The luminaire must be installed horizontally and must never be tilted; • The luminaire must be installed at the end of the post; Annual • The luminaire must be installed in an open space with no trees or structures South Summer (≈ optimal) nearby, this could favour snow accumulation and shading; Winter • The solar module must be ideally oriented towards the south, otherwise see table “ORIENTATION AND AUTONOMY”. Annual -17% Failing to follow these recommendations can result in loss of system performance. East / West Summer -9.8% FACTORS AFFECTING AUTONOMY: Winter -28% Lack of sunshine, very low ambient temperature, snow accumulation due to trees Annual -35.8% or structures nearby, shading due to nearby trees or structures, solar module North...
  • Page 3 LX25, LX50, LX95 SERIES 1.2 STORAGE AND HANDLING: If you wish to store the luminaire, the battery needs to be recharged before stor- ing for a period of 15 days or more in order to prevent damage to the battery. The luminaire must be stored at 20°C room temperature. The luminaire should never be manipulated when the battery is inside. Use the quick access door to remove the battery before handling. 1.3 DEEP DISCHARGE PROTECTION This protection significantly increases battery lifespan. This protection also pre- vents permanent damage to the battery caused by very deep discharges during cold weather. When the battery reaches a 50% state of charge, the battery is automatically disconnected from the system until it’s state of charge reach- es 85% i.e. about 1 day of sunshine in summer and about 4 days of sunshine in winter. 1.4 PIR SENSOR TIME DELAY FEATURE ADJUSTMENT Please be careful, the time delay trimpot is a fragile component. The Time Delay (30 seconds to 30 minutes) adjustment trimpot is located under the lens assembly. The trimpot is accessed easily. Gently unscrew the lens as- sembly. Do not remove the thumbscrew collar; it holds the sensor in place on the fixture. Set the time delay to the desired setting. The time delay can be set from 30 seconds (fully counterclockwise) to 30 minutes (fully clockwise). We recom- mend not to go over 5 minutes. The time delay starts when no more presence is detected. 1.5DAY-NIGHT TRANSITION The fixture uses the solar panel to detect day and night periods. The night transi- tion requires a very low brightness level for 5 continuous minutes. This constraint prevents false night transitions. Avoid exposing the luminaire to an artificial light source that may cause synchronization errors by simulating the day. If the fixture operates erratically, make sure the solar module is not covered with debris or heavy snow. The luminaire automatically corrects synchronization errors after 24 hours. The occupancy sensor has its own photocell, which does not activate when the ambient brightness is too high.
