esotec Float 25 User manual

3. Function and Intended Use
The solar lamp is designed for all season outdoor use. It may either be
operated oating on a water surface or standing on the ground. If the lamp
is operated oating, it has to be taken from the water surface in case of
frost.
An aluminum bottom prevents the globe from tumbling in case of wind on
the water surface or on the ground. When the lamp is mounted on the
ground it is additionally possible to use the 2 enclosed ground spikes to
fasten it in the ground.
The solar lamp has to be set up free from shadows and facing the sun.
Recommended are south, east or west sides. Shadowy north sides are not
appropriate for solar lamps.
The light color is alternating or lockable. This can be set by the infrared
remote control included in the scope of delivery.
The integrated rechargeable battery is charged by the solar module
installed inside the lamp. The lamp is automatically switched on when it is
getting dark and switched off at dawn or if the battery is discharged.
Powerful light emitting diodes (LEDs) are used as light source. Those LEDs
guarantee a high luminosity with a low current consumption and a lifetime
of more than 50000 hours.
Note: During longer periods with insufcient insolation, the accumulator is
charged insufciently via the sunlight. However, that does not mean that
the solar lamp is defective. Please wait for the next sunny days and the
light will work accordingly.
The rechargeable battery has to be exchanged every 2 years on
average!
4. Putting into Operation
1. Please carefully take all parts out of the package.
2. In order to avoid any discharging of the battery during the storage period,
this battery has to be installed before putting the lamp into operation. A bag
with the parts required for the assembly is included in the scope of supply.
Proceed as follows when installing the battery:
3. Open the bag and put the parts onto a table.
4. Take the rechargeable battery and insert it in the battery
compartment with the correct polarity (illustration 1).
5. Firmly press in the main switch of the lamp „SM1“ on the circuit
board (illustration 2). (The switch SM2 is of no signicance for the
putting into operation. It only serves for the control of functions
during service operations).
6. Now precisely insert the gasket into the groove (illustration 3).
7. Attach the aluminum lid. Make sure that the black bracket is above
the battery (illustration 4). The bracket protects the battery from
falling out in case of convulsions.
8. Now take the 4 screws and slightly tighten them manually
(illustration 5). Now take the enclosed tool and slightly tighten the
screws clockwise one after the other.
9. In a 2. and 3. stage (illustration 6) tighten the screws rmly. The
tightening in several stages prevents an irregular seat of the cover.
Thus, the lid sits atly and tightly on the gasket.

- Rechargeable batteries should only be replaced by structurally iden-
tical rechargeable batteries from the same manufacturer. Normal
batteries must not be used since these are not rechargeable.
- Make sure the rechargeable batteries are inserted with the correct
polarity.
- For long periods of time of non-use (for example, storage), remove
the inserted rechargeable batteries to avoid damages via the leaking

10. Now place the globe onto a water surface or place it on the ground.
When the lamp is mounted on the ground it is additionally possible
to use the 2 ground spikes to fasten it in the (illustration 7). When
the lamp is used on the water surface, it is possible to use a cord
(illustration 8) (not enclosed in the scope of supply) to limit the globe’s
range of motion. To fasten the cord, please use the 2 holes at the
bottom to thread the cord in.
Note: The duration of illumination strongly depends on the intensity
and duration of the solar radiation during the day. During the winter
months please generally expect a shorter light ON time. If the lamp
should not shine on the rst evening, please wait for a sunny day.
11. Take the remote control and pull
out the plastic strip to activate the
remote control (illustration 9).
12. The remote control allows the
comfortable control of the globe at
night.
Functions of the remote control:
„OFF“: The globe is switched
off. The globe is
switched off. The battery
is charged when the sun
is shining!
„Cycle“: The individual luminous
colors can be switched
through. Then, the
globe continues running
in the alternating color
mode.
„W“: Permanent light color white is activated.
„R,G,B ....“: The light color is rmly set by pressing the corresponding
color. Simply press the button “Cycle” again to return to the
alternating color mode.
6. Exchange of the rechargeable Battery
On average, the battery pack has to be exchanged by a new and identical
in construction battery every two years. Used here is a NiMh battery with
1.2 V/ 1300 mAh. A new battery pack is available from your retailer or the
manufacturer under www.esotec.de
Proceed as follows when exchanging the battery:
1. Loosen the 4 screws at the bottom of the globe one after the other (illustration
10) and take off the lid.
2. Now take out the used battery and replace it by a new, identical in
construction battery (illustration 11).
3. Now precisely insert the gasket into the groove (illustration 12).
4. Attach the aluminum lid. Make sure that the black bracket is above the
battery (illustration 13). The bracket protects the battery from falling out
in case of convulsions.
5. Now take the 4 screws and slightly tighten them manually (illustration
14). Now take the enclosed tool and slightly tighten the screws clockwise
one after the other.
6. In a 2. and 3. stage (illustration 15) tighten the screws rmly. The
tightening in several stages prevents an irregular tightening of the
screws and thus a potential leakage of the globe.
7. Malfunctions
1. The light color of the globe can not be controlled with the remote
control!
Remedy: Was the plastic strip on the bottom of the remote control
removed (only when the lamp is put into operation for the rst time)?
Remedy: Please note that the globe can only be remoted controlled at
night!
Remedy: Battery in the remote control too weak or used? Exchange
battery by an identical in construction type!
Remedy: No sunshine during the day. When the sky is cloudy and
there is no sunshine, the battery installed in the globe is not charged
sufciently! Wait for a sunny day!
2. The glove has no function!
Remedy: The battery in the light globe has reached the end of its
lifetime (exchange it every two years at the latest!)?
Remedy: No sunshine during the day. When the sky is cloudy and
there is no sunshine, the battery installed in the globe is not charged
sufciently! Wait for a sunny day!
Remedy: Is the globe switched on? See instructions item 4. part 5.
