esotec Verla 50 Manual

3. Intended Use
The solar module built into the upper part converts sunlight into electricity. The
built-in battery is charged with this energy.
The light can be operated in three different modes depending on the time of
year and the installation location. These operating modes can be conveniently
selected using a button on the PIR sensor.
When the battery is empty, the light switches off automatically. The solar light
is suitable for year-round outdoor use. The nighttime lighting duration is heavily
dependent on the amount of sunlight and the angle of incidence on the solar
module during the day. Solar lights must always be placed in the sunlight
without shadows. Operation on the north side or in the shade of trees or
bushes is not recommended!
4. Installation
1. Carefully remove the parts from the packaging.
2. Mount the lamp either using the screws and dowels supplied or via the
earth spike included in the scope of delivery (item 1) at the intended loca-
tion.
Note: Please note the detection range of the motion sensor. The
detection angle is 120° and the range is max. 8 m.
3. 3 different operating modes can be selected using the button on the
PIR sensor (point 2). The solar module should be covered. Proceed as
follows:
Note: When switching on and changing the operating modes, the lamp
lights up for a short time until the corresponding mode is activated.
- press button: (Mode A): The lamp
does not light up in the dark, upon
movement the lamp lights up with
600 lm, 10 seconds after the last
movement the light switches off!
- press button: (Mode B): The lamp
shines at a dimmed level with 20
lm in the dark, upon movement the
lamp shines with 400 lm, 10 sec-
onds after the last movement the
lamp goes back to 20 lm.
- press button: (Mode C): The lamp always shines at 100 lm in the dark.
The PIR sensor is switched off.
- press button: Lamp switched off, battery is still being charged!
Note: The duration of the light depends heavily on the intensity and dura-
tion of sunlight during the day. In the winter months, you can generally
expect less lighting time. If the light does not light up on the first evening,
please wait for a sunny day.

Warning:
- Batteries do not belong in the hands of children. Never leave batteries
lying around openly, there is a risk of them being swallowed by children
or pets.
- Batteries must never be short-circuited, dismantled or thrown into fire.
There is a risk of explosion!
- Leaking or damaged batteries can cause burns if they come into con-
tact with the skin, so use suitable protective gloves in this case.
- When changing the batteries, only batteries of the same construction
may be used. Under no circumstances should old batteries be used as
they cannot be recharged.
- Make sure the polarity is correct when inserting or connecting the bat-
teries.
- If the device is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. storage),
remove the inserted batteries to avoid damage from leaking batteries.

of the solar module and remove the
cover.
3. Take out the old battery and discon-
nect the connector.
4. Replace the battery with an identical
type and reconnect the connector.
Note: The plug connection is protect-
ed against polarity reversal. Please
do not use force!

mentally friendly manner and do not belong in the household waste. Your
dealer is legally obliged to take back old batteries.
6. Malfunctions
The lamp does not switch on in the dark
- An extraneous light source (e.g. street lamp) simulates daylight and pre-
vents the light from being switched on. Place the lamp in a darker place
- See picture below: No leaves or dirt on the solar module, no extraneous
light at night, no shadow on the solar module!
The lamp does not switch on or only switches on briefly in the dark.
- Is the light switched on?
- Battery weak or defective? Replace the battery!
