3. Function and intended use
The solar house number light is designed for year-round outdoor use. It is
made of high-quality materials and thus guarantees a long function over
many years.
The powerful solar module is designed in shingle technology, the solar
house number light must be mounted on a shadow-free sunny wall.
A south, east or west side is recommended. Shady north sides or the
assembly under a shady roof projection are not suitable for solar house
number lights.
The built-in battery is charged by the solar module installed in the upper
part. The solar module consists of high-quality crystalline solar cells with
space-saving shingle technology and is laminated absolutely weatherproof
behind glass.
The house number can be set between the light colours warm white or cold
white using an enclosed IR remote control. It is also possible to switch it
ON or OFF.
At night the light switches on automatically and illuminates the number
with a weak light. If a movement is registered by the PIR sensor, the light
illuminates with maximum luminosity for approx. 20 seconds after the last
movement.
Powerful light emitting diodes (LEDs) are used as the light source. These
LEDs guarantee high luminosity with low power consumption and a service
life of over 30,000 hours.
Note: During longer periods without sunlight, the battery is insufficient-
ly charged by the sunlight and the lamp does not work in the evening.
However, this does not mean that the solar light is defective. Wait for the
next sunny days and the lamp will work again accordingly.
The battery should be changed every 3-4 years on average!
4. Commissioning
1. Carefully remove the parts from the packaging.
2. Determine the location of the solar house number light. It must be a
shadow-free, sunny place. We recommend south, east or west sides.
North sides are not suitable for solar house number lights!
3. Stick your house number onto the white sur-
face of the solar house number light using the
enclosed letters and numbers.
4. Unscrew the 4 screws on the back of the
solar house number light with a suitable
screwdriver (pic. 1) and remove the cover.
5. Remove the battery from the transport box
and connect the socket on the battery cable
with the plug on the cable of the circuit board
(pic. 2).
Note: The plug is protected against reverse
polarity! Please do not use force!
6. Now carefully insert the battery into the bat-
tery compartment and stow the cable (pic. 3).
7. Now place the cover of the battery compart-
ment so that the two arrows look at each
other (pic.).
8. Turn the 4 screws back in with a suitable
screwdriver.
9. Now mount the plastic holder on the wall with
the 3 screws provided (pic. 5) and mount the
house number light (pic. 6 rear view).
10.Now secure the solar house number light by
falling down or stealing it with the help of the
threaded screw (pic. 7 rear view).
11.Now pull the plastic strip out of the battery
compartment of the IR remote control.
12.In darkness you can now set the light colour
of the solar house number light by pressing
the corresponding button or switch off the
solar house number light. To do this, hold
the IR remote control in the direction of the
illuminated area of the solar house number
light!
Note: The battery is also charged in the
„OFF“ position!

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.
Disposal:
Dear customer,
please cooperate in avoiding waste. When you intend to dis-
pose of the product in future, please consider that it contains
valuable raw materials suited for recycling.
Therefore, do not dispose it of with domestic waste but bring

Note: The duration of the light depends strongly on the intensity and
duration of sunlight during the day. In the winter months you should
generally reckon with less light duration. If the lamp does not yet light
up on the first evening, please wait for a sunny day.
5. Changing the battery
On average, the batteries in the solar module must be replaced every 3-4
years by new batteries of the same type and design. A Li-Fe battery 3.2
V/ 1500 mAh is used here. You receive the spare accumulator with your
dealer or with the manufacturer under www.esotec.de
Please proceed as follows when exchanging the battery:
1. Press the OFF button on the remote control and switch off the solar
house number light.
2. Loosen the locking screw and remove the
solar house number light.
3. Loosen the 4 screws of the cover at the back
(pic. 8) of the solar house number light with
a suitable screwdriver and remove the cover.
4. Remove the used battery from the battery
compartment and release the connection
by pressing the lock (pic. 9) on the plug and
releasing the plug connection.
5. Now take a new battery of the same cons-
truction and reconnect the plug connection
(pic. 9).
Note: The plug is protected against reverse
polarity! Please do not use force!
6. Now carefully insert the battery into the bat-
tery compartment and stow the cable (pic.
10).
7. Now place the cover of the battery compart-
ment so that the two arrows look at each
other (pic. 11).
8. Turn the 4 screws in again with a suitable screwdriver.
9. Replace the house number light.
10.Now secure the solar house number light by falling down or stealing it
with the help of the threaded screw.
11.Now set the desired light colour with the IR remote control at night.
Note: Used batteries or accumulators must be disposed of in an
environmentally friendly manner and should not be disposed of with
household waste. Your dealer is legally obliged to take back the old
batteries.
6. IR remote control
The IR remote control allows the light colour of
the LEDs to be easily changed from the outside
without removing the luminaire. Hold the IR remo-
te control against the illuminated surface and
press the desired button (Fig. 12).
1 = White means light colour cold white
2 = Warm White means light colour warm white
OFF = Lamp switched off (battery will still be
charged!)
The transparent fuse strip in the battery com-
partment must be pulled out when the unit is put
into operation for the first time. After some time,
the battery in the IR remote control is exhausted
and must be replaced. Simply push in the lock on
the battery compartment of the IR remote control
on the side and pull out the battery compartment
(Fig. 13). Replace the battery with a new one of
the same size (CR2025, 3 V/ Lithium) and slide
the battery compartment back into the IR remote
control.
7. Malfunctions
Lamp does not switch on at night!
Remedy: Is the solar module illuminated by extraneous light (e.g. spot-
light)? Position the solar house number light in a darker place!
Remedy: Is the luminaire switched on?
Remedy: Has the security strip been removed from the IR remote
control?
Remedy: Is the battery in the IR remote control exhausted?
Remedy: Has the battery in the lamp reached the end of its service
life? As a rule, the batteries must be replaced with identical types every
3-4 years!
Remedy: Is the solar module illuminated by extraneous light (e.g. spot-
light)? Position the solar module in a darker place!
