3. Intended Use, Installation and Connection
• The solar module is designed for the all-season outdoor installation and is intended
for the generation of electric current by means of solar energy. It is particularly
important that the solar module is installed free from shadow and facing south.
• The energy station and the LED lamp is designed for indoor use.
• Multimedia devices may be supplied with energy or charged via the integrated
USB port.
• The enclosed adapter cable set is suitable for the connection of iPhone 4 to 6 and
Samsung S2 to S6+.
• Up to 3 LED lamps may be supplied with energy via the 3 x 6 V outputs. One
LED lamp including switch and a 5 m cable is included in the scope of delivery.
Additional LED lamps are available as accessories (eotec Art.-No: 121000 under
www.esotec.de)
4. Putting into Operation
1. Carefully take all parts out of the packaging.
2. Choose a sunny, shadow-free place for the solar module within reach of the
cable.
3. Set up the solar module by means of the stand and plug the connector at
theendofthecableintothesocket„solarmodule“atthefrontoftheenergy
station.ThegreenLED“Akku”(battery)willstartashingquicklyincaseof
solar irradiation.
4. Now switch the toggle switch an at the front of the energy station into the
position„EIN“(ON).ThegreenLED“Akku”(battery)willashslowlyifthe
solar module is plugged in and the sun is shining.
5. Atthethree„6V=“outputs,itispossibletoplugineachoneLEDlampwith
a 5 m cable and switch and to supply them with electricity. One LED lamp is
included in the scope of delivery Two additional lamps may be connected as
accessories.
6. Multimedia devices may be supplied with energy or charged on the USB
outlet. Included for the connection is an adapter cable set for iPhone 4 to 6
or Samsung S2 to S6+.
7. Please note that the energy station and LED lamps are only suitable for the
operation.
5. LED Display „Akku“ (battery)
Flashing green:
The battery is charged via the solar module.
Permanent green Iight:
The battery is charged and ready for operation. No charging by the solar module!
Red:
Battery goes weak. In a short time the outputs will be switched off. Charging by
the solar module is necessary.
Flashing red:
Battery is exhaustively discharge, the outputs are switched off. Charging by the
solar module is necessary.
6. Exchange of Battery
A 6 V/ 4Ah AGM battery is integrated in the energy station. This battery will have
to be exchanged every 2 – 3 years depending on the maintenance and use.
When exchanging the battery, proceed as follows:
1. Putthetoggleswitchatthefrontoftheenergystationintotheposition„AUS“
(OFF).
2. Disconnect all plug from the energy station.
3. Unscrew the 4 screws at the front of the energy station with an appropriate
screwdriver (pic. 1).
4. Carefully remove the front panel of the energy station.
5. Now the battery may be pulled out by means of the black loop. For this
purpose, please pull strongly (pic. 2).
Note: The battery is protected at the back by means of a Velcro fastener. The
pullingoutrequiressomephysicaleffort.
6. Pull off the connections from the old used battery and remove the Velcro
fastener.
7. Now take an identicalin construction battery and afxthe Velcro fastener
onto the new battery. You may possibly use a double-faced adhesive tape in
order to ensure a secure fastening.
8. Nowattach thecable lugsonthe newbattery withcorrectpolarity (black=
negativepole,red=positivepole).
9. Nowre-insertthenewbatteryandpressitrmlytowardsthebackwall.
10. Now put on the front panel and re-screw the 4 screws.
11. Now re-connect the plugs with the energy station and put the switch at the
frontoftheenergystationintotheposition„Ein“(ON).
Note: Used batteries or accumulators must be disposed of in a non-polluting
wayanddonotbelongintothedomesticwaste.Yourdealerisrequiredbylaw
to take back old batteries.
7. Malfunctions:
No function at all: fuse defective!
A micro-fuse is installed in the cable to the battery in order to protect the electronics
and the battery. The fuse rating amounts to F 3.15 A/ 250 V. For the exchange, only
use replacement fuses with identical fuse rating! For the exchange of the fuse, please
switch off the energy station and disconnect all cables. Unscrew the 4 screws at the
front panel and carefully take off the panel. The fuse is installed in the red positive
lead. Unscrew this lead and replace the defective fuse with a new one with the fuse
rating of F 3.15 A/ 250 V and retighten the fuse holder (pic. 3). Close the housing and
put the battery station into operation.
Battery is quickly charged and quickly discharged: battery defective!
Aquickly chargedanddischarged batteryisanindicatorthattheintegratedbattery
has reached the end of its service life. Please replace the battery by an identical in
construction battery as described in item 6.

Rechargeable battery notes
- Rechargeable batteries should not be played with by children. Never leave rechar-
geable 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 identical rechar-
geable 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.
