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.

1.1 System Overview
The ENSA™ SSL-B Series is comprised of 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 beam in a 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 for
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 when mounted at 10m
above the ground.
Light Assembly: This comprises of a high efciency
LED array mounted on a 60° tilt-adjustable bracket to
control light distribution. The array’s mount position
can be moved to better orient the light.
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. These components are tightly integrated in the
operation of the entire system. See below for further explanation.
The SSL-B Series Solar Light is a 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 AND/OR
• Use the motion sensor to control brightness before & after movement is detected
4. The solar panel detects that the sun has risen. The LED light turns off.
5. 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 use 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.
• 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 and recharged, otherwise the battery may be damaged.
• Charging temperature: 0~60°C. Discharge temperature: -20~60°C
• Do not store the product in a temperature exceeding 45°C.

When selecting a pole and foundation to install the solar panel on, there are several requirements to keep in mind:
• Using a tapered pole is recommended.
• The pole’s height should be equal to or higher than the solar panel’s recommended install height - this is 5 ~ 7m
for 20W/30W models & 8 ~ 10m for 50/60W models.
• The pole must have a spigot size of 60mm (adapters available).
• The pole must be strong enough to hold the weight of the solar panel - this can range up to 39kg (60W model).
• The foundation and fasteners should be strong enough resist high wind speeds. A shallow concrete foundation is
recommended.
ENSA™ can supply two pole models that t these install requirements. These galvanised poles include 4 x M20
foundation bolts (600 x 25mm), a bolt template ring and 60mm spigot adapter.
• SLR-POL4 (4.5m / 14.7ft)
• SLR-POL6 (6.0m / 19.7ft)
Consider frangible poles depending on requirements. Tilt poles may help with installation.

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

2.4 Adjusting the Solar Panel Tilt Angle
Tilt Angle
North
To ensure your solar panel absorbs as much light as possible, it’s important to adjust the solar panel angle.
For Australia and all locations in the southern hemisphere, the lower edge of the solar panel must point north. Locations
in the northern hemisphere must have the lower edge of the panel pointing south.
1. Use a 5mm Allen Key to remove the two panel adjustment bolts. (Fig. 2.5b). Warning: The panel will freely move
after the bolts are removed.
2. Once the the bolts are removed, tilt the panel to the desired angle. Replace the bolts after adjusting the angle to
secure the solar panel in place.
3. Use a 8mm Allen Key to tighten the large bolts above the angle adjuctment bolts.
How to adjust tilt angle:
Fig. 2.4b
Solar panel angle bolt
We recommend adjusting the solar panel to a tilt angle that is optimised for winter.
This is to achieve better light absorbtion in winter and a consistent amount of light
absorbtion year-round.
The formula for calculating the optimal winter tilt is (Installation Latitude x 0.89)+24,
when the latitude is above 25°, or Installation Latitude x 0.87 if the latitude is less than
25°. Refer to Fig 2.5a for the optimal Winter Tilts for Australian Capital Cities.
For example Sydney has a latitude of 33.8688° S, therefore the panel should be tilted
directly north with an angle of 54° (33.8 x 0.89 = 30, then 30 + 24 = 54°)
If you are unable to use the optimal winter tilt or it is impractical to tilt the panel north,
while still illuminating the desired area, set a tilt angle of 5° and rotate the unit to the best
lighting position. Note that this will reduce charging performance, which may reduce
operating time.
