1. Pre-Installation
Thank you for purchasing a SSL-B Series Solar Street Light.
This install guide covers basic setup, installation and use of your light.
For more information & warranty details, please visit:

1.1 System Overview
The ENSA™ SSL-B Series comprises motion-powered, solar-charged LED street lights, designed to deliver lighting to
any outdoor location. These pole-mounted lights provide superb coverage with a wide 145°x100° beam angle in cool
white colour. The light can be set to always be active from dusk to dawn, or only when motion is detected with the
adjustable motion sensor.
These lights are fully self-sufcient, not requiring any external cabling. This makes them excellent for use in remote
locations such as rural roads, power stations & construction sites, as well as general use in streets, parks, schools,
farms and more.

1.2.1 Solar Light Components
1.2.2 Operation Process
Solar Panel Assembly: This includes all solar panel
components including the panel itself, battery,
controllers, chassis & mounting arm.
The solar panel acts an ambient light sensor,
controlling dusk/dawn switch functions when it no
longer generates an adequate voltage from the sun.
This setting can be congured in Section 4.
The battery is Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4),
which has superior expected lifetime and temperature
tolerance compared to standard Lithium Polymer
batteries. It is also immune from thermal runaway
conditions to prevent res like standard LiPo batteries.
The mount arm of the solar panel offers 120° of tilt
on a Ø50~60mm pole, with an angle compass for
precise adjustment. It also has a spiked bird guard
vof the panel & a safety wire rope.
Sensor Assembly: The dark circle on the underside
of the panel, the sensor assembly houses the infrared
receiver for the remote control for light conguration.
It also houses the microwave motion detector. This
detects motion in a circular area under the Solar Light
in a total diameter of Ø15m (at 10m away from the
ground).
Light Assembly: This comprises of two high efciency
LED arrays mounted on a 60° tilt-adjustable bracket
to control light distribution. The array’s mount
positioned can be moved to better orient the light for
use.
SSL-B Series Solar Lights feature three main components that govern the function of the system. They are the solar panel
assembly (includes battery & solar controllers), the sensor assembly including infrared remote receiver & microwave
motion detector, and the LED light assembly with adjustable bracket. They are tightly integrated in the operation of the
entire system. This is further explained by component below.
The SSL-B Series Solar Light is highly customisable solar system, but how it operates is simple. The following details
the operation process of the SSL-B Solar Light after mounting.
1. During the day, the solar panel charges the battery. The LED light is off.
2. The solar panel detects that the sun has set. The LED light turns on.
3. The light is congured to be at set brightness at different time periods during the night.
4. The light is congured to use the motion sensor to control brightness before & after movement is detected.
5. The solar panel detects that the sun has rise. The LED light turns off.
6. The panel begins charging the battery during the day.
7. The cycle repeats.

2. Solar Light Mounting & Installation
2.1 Choosing an Installation Site
This section covers choosing an installation site, selecting a pole for the Solar Light, mounting the Solar Light to the pole
and adjusting the Solar Light for optimal use.
Follow these guidelines to ensure you get the best out of your Solar Light.
• To maximise exposure to the sun, solar panels must be installed to tilt north in the southern hemisphere and
south in the northern hemisphere.
• The Solar Light should not be installed in a location that blocks sun exposure by buildings or trees.
• See Section 2.4 for more detail.
Selecting a pole - It should be a tapered pole with 50~60mm spigot size.
Needs to be of sufcient strength to handle the weight and sail size of the solar light used.
May want to consider frangible poles depending on requirements. Tilt poles might help with installation.
Refer local requirements regarding wind and corrosion.
2.2 Choosing a Pole & Foundation
•The Ingress Protection rating of this product is IP65, which is suitable for outdoor lighting, but cannot be soaked
in water.
• The solar panel is fragile, do not scratch or strike the solar cells.
• Do not clean the solar panel with an abrasive sponge or soap. Use solar panel cleaning kits.
•The longest storage period of solar street lamps is 6 months after they are fully charged. If they are transported
or stored for a long time, they need to be checked, recharged otherwise the battery will be damaged.
• Charging temperature: 0~60°C. Discharge temperature: -20~60°C
• Do not store the product in a temperature exceeding 45°C.

1. Loosen locking screws
2. Position the Solar Light assembly over the pole
3. Slip the Solar Light assembly pole Ø50~60mm
4. Securely fasten the included locking security screws to the bracket with the included torx wrench. (Fig. 2.2b)
• Note: For poles greater than 4m in height, tapered poles are preferable for stability.

Caution: Solar panel must be installed 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°
2.4 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°.

1. Use a at head screwdriver to remove the bracket cover.
2. Once the cover is removed, use a 10mm Allen / hex key to loosen the panel adjustment screw.
3. Tilt the panel to the required angle with the LED light at the high side.
4. Tighten the screw after adjusting the angle to secure the solar panel in place.
5. Replace the cover.
