Motion Sensing Solar Panel with Street Light
Note: This solar panel system is fitted with undervoltage protection, which disconnects the load at
approximately 10.8V(SSL-B50) or 21.6V(SSL-B60). If you are not receiving any voltage on the output
wires, place the panel in direct sunlight for a minimum of one hour and re-test. The output will be
reconnected automatically when battery voltage reaches approximately 11.5V(SSL-B50) or
23.0V(SSL-B60).
Must be installed in direct sunlight. Shade will negatively impact performance.
This solar panel includes a motion-activated LED light. For more information, refer to 4. Solar Panel
LED Conguration.

2. Installation
2.1 Installation Site
The solar panel should face north.
For the best solar panel efciency, ensure that sunlight is not blocked by buildings or trees.

1. Drill an 8mm hole in the pole
(minimum 15cm down from the top
of the pole) on the same side that
the camera will be mounted. This
is for the solar panel cable to run
through.
2. Feed the twin power cable
connected to your solar panel
through that hole
3. Place the solar panel bracket on top
of the pole, pointing north.
• Note: If you need to cover a different
area with the light beam, keep the
panel at after repositioning .
4. Securely fasten the included grub
screws to the bracket. Tighten the
locking bolts to prevent the grub
screws from loosening. (Fig. 2.1b)
• Note: For poles greater than 4m in
height, tapered poles are preferable
for camera stability and pole
strength.

Caution: Solar panel must be placed so it is in direct sunlight all day.
Any shading will greatly reduce the solar panel’s performance!

To ensure your solar panel absorbs as much light as possible, it’s important to adjust the solar panel
angle to an ideal angle, depending on your region (refer to table below).
For Australia and all locations in the southern hemisphere, the solar panel must be tilted directly north.
Locations in the northern hemisphere must have the panel tilted directly south. The angle of tilt is
determined by the installation location and is calculated as installation latitude + 15°.
IMPORTANT: Failure to direct the panel correctly will cause system failure through insufcient power
Example tilt angles for Australian cities
Sydney Melbourne Canberra Perth Brisbane Hobart Adelaide Darwin
49° 53° 50° 47° 42.5° 58° 50° 27.5°
1. Use a at head screwdriver to remove the bracket cover.
2. Once the cover is removed, use a 10mm allen key to loosen the panel adjustment screw and tilt the
panel to the required angle with the LED light at the high side.
3. Tighten the bolt after adjusting the angle to secure the solar panel in place.
4. Replace the cover.
How to adjust tilt angle:
2.2 Adjusting the Solar Panel Tilt Angle
Tilt Angle
N°
For example, Sydney has a latitude of 34°, therefore the solar panel should be tilted directly north with
an angle of 34 + 15 = 49°.
If you are uncertain the of your area, Google makes it easy to nd the latitude for any location: For
example, searching for “latitude Newcastle NSW Australia” will return 32.9283° S, 151.7817° E. The
latitude is the rst number shown (32.9283) which rounds up to 33°.

Note: Enabling the LED light and sensor will increase power consumption and reduce
battery power available for the system.
Incorrectly editing power settings can permanantly damage the solar panel, solar battery
and/or LED light. Consult ENSA for more information. Only edit power settings exactly
as outlined in this guide.
This section covers how to set up the motion-activated LED light on the solar panel. Our example
will show you how to congure your solar panel & light with the remote control, showing you the steps
required to set up the light to activate after motion is detected at night.
The solar panel’s motion-activated LED light is disabled by default. Solar panel conguration
requires the remote control (provided on request).
1. Battery Type: Type of battery installed in the solar panel (Li_Po=LiFePO4battery or Lead acid).
Warning: SSL-B50/60 uses LiFePO4battery, DO NOT change this parameter.
2. Boost Charge: Battery overcharge voltage. To protect the battery from overcharging, the battery
stops charging when it is above this voltage.
3. Voltage Low: Battery cut-off voltage. When the battery voltage falls below this value, output will
be disabled.
4. Recover Voltage: Minimum voltage for the battery to start. Battery output is enabled or resumed
from cut-off when battery voltage is above this value.
5. Power Saving: When turned on, the battery will adjust power output automatically to save energy
(On/Off).
6. Turn-On PV Voltage: The light turns on when the solar panel is below this voltage (dark). Note:
LED light turns on/off condition must meet other settings.
7. Output Current: Set the constant current output level.
8. Drive Mode:
Time Control - 5 individual intervals of maximum 9 hours each can be set to turn LED light on.
Move Sensor - Motion detect. The LED light will switch to higher intensity when it detects
movement. If no movement is detected, the intensity will be lower to save power. The intensity
can be adjusted for both settings to meet customer’s requirements.
9. Light Delay: The on-time delay after last detection motion. Suggested value: 30 seconds.
10. First/Second/Third/Fourth/Fifth Time: User-programmable light on/off schedule. Maximum 9
hours for each setting.
11. Light Ratio: Set light output (%) for when movement is detected.
12. Idle ratio: Set light output (%) for when no movement is detected.
Understanding Settings:
Before adjusting solar panel settings, familiarise yourself with the setting denitions below:

4.3 Remote Control
1. Take the solar panel outside and wait for it to charge in the sunlight for at least one hour.
2. Use the remote control and point it towards the black sensor at the back of the solar panel and
press Power. The remote control will be powered up. It will then try to connect the solar panel.
•If connection is successful, the LCD will show “Read OK”.
•If connection fails, the LCD will show “Disconnect”
Note: Direct sunlight can interfere with the transmission. The sensitivity of the transmitter is
higher when in dark environment.
Important: Do not change the device number otherwise it may not work properly.
