esotec pro Line Series Manual

3. Operation and intended use
The solar light as well as the solar module are designed for year-round
outdoor use.
Keep the solar module snow-free during the winter months to ensure
proper operation. If possible, the solar module should face South and be
placed in a shade-free area. North sides (of buildings, etc.) are not suitable
for solar products. The light colour of the lamp has two different settings.
The built-in rechargeable battery pack is charged by the external solar
cell. The light automatically switches on at dusk and switches off at dawn.
Light is produced by high-performance LEDs (light-emitting diodes). These
LEDs guarantee high luminosity at a low rate of power consumption and
a lifetime of over 50,000 hours. Don´t put the lamp on a water surface!
Note: The battery may be insufficiently charged by sunlight if longer peri-
ods without sunlight occur. This does not mean, however, that the solar
light is faulty. Simply wait for the next sunny day and the light will work
once again.
As a rule, the battery pack should be replaced once every 2 years!
4. Using the light for the first time
1. Carefully remove the parts from the packaging.
2. Screw the base carefully in a counter-clockwise direction (Figure 1).
3. Plug the battery pack into the socket. (Figure 2).
Caution: Once the connector is plugged in, the LEDs start to light up.
To avoid damage to the eyes, do not look directly at the light.
Note: The plug connector is touch-safe and protected against inverse
polarity. Do not use excessive force when inserting the connector.
4. Screw the base clockwise back onto the globe. Ensure that the seal is
in the correct position (Figure 3).
5. Now take the 5 m cable and insert the connector into the socket of the
solar light extension cable and screw the union nut tight (Figure 4).
6. Now find a sunny spot within reach of the cable to place the solar modu-
le.
7. Plug the connector on the other end of the cable into the socket at the
back of the solar module and screw the union nut tight (Figure 5).

Rechargeable battery notes
- Rechargeable batteries should not be played with by children. Never
leave rechargeable batteries lying around; they could be swallowed
by children or pets.
- Rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled
or thrown into fire. This leads to a danger of explosion!
- Leaking or damaged rechargeable batteries can cause chemical
burns when they come into contact with skin. For this reason, please
make use of suitable protective gloves.
- 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
rechargeable batteries.

Connection
solar module
Ball joint
5.

Note: The light should now be dark during daylight. The solar module also
has a twilight sensor function. If the solar module is in darkness, then the
voltage of the solar module drops and the light will switch on automatically.
8. The solar module can be placed on the ground using the ground spike.
The position of the spherical joint can be adjusted for best alignment
towards the sun.
Note: Illumination time is highly dependent on the intensity and duration
of sunlight (solar irradiation) during the day. Illumination time is generally
expected to be less during the winter months. Should the light not switch
on on the first evening, please wait for a sunny day.
5. Colour setting
The light has 2 different colour settings. These are selected using the
button underneath the light (Centre). Press the button to select the option
you want.
1. Light color changes every minute
The light color changes every minute slowly between every color.
2. Fix the lighting color
When you want to fix the lighting color to permanent light, please press
the switch on the bottom of the light. To start color changing please push
the switch again.
6. Replacing the battery pack
As a rule, the battery pack must be replaced every 2 years with a new
one of the same size and type. It is a LiFe battery with 3,2 V/ 1500 mAh.
Replacement batteries are obtainable from your dealer or the
manufacturer. www.esotec.de
Battery pack LiFe3,2V/ 1500mAh spare part No.: 901026
The following is the correct procedure for replacing the battery:
1. Loosen the connections at the bottom of the lamp.
2. Rotate the bottom from the lamp counter-clockwise.
3. Remove the battery pack connector plug from the circuit board and
remove the used battery from its bracket.
4. Replace the battery with a new, identical battery.
5. Close the lamp in the reverse order used to open it, and remember to
reconnect the solar module cable.
Note: Used batteries, whether rechargeable or not, must be disposed of
in an environmentally friendly manner and should not be disposed of in
domestic rubbish bins. Your dealer is obliged by law to accept old batteries
for disposal.
7. Troubleshooting
Lamp does not switch on at nightfall.
- An ambient light source (e.g. street light) simulates natural light in the
solar module and prevents the light from switching on automatically.
Place the solar module in a darker place.
Lamp does not switch on at nightfall, or switches on only briefly.
- Check the connector plugs on the solar module cable and battery are
properly connected.
- Battery is weak or faulty. Replace the battery at least once every 2
years.
