TWIN LED SOLAR STREET LIGHT
INSTALLATION MANUAL

How does it work ?
The battery gets loaded during daytime with the electricity produced
by the
solar panel (PV).
Nighttime is detected by measuring the voltage of the solar panel :
- daytime
 PV voltage > 30V
- nighttime
 PV voltage = 0V
Avoid any shadow on the solar panel
(trees, houses, traffic signs…). Shadows will
considerably impact electricity production of the panel and hence reduce
battery charging.
Avoid artificial light
on the solar panel during nighttime. This could hinder correct
detection of dusk by the panel and
can, worst case, completely disable light to
switch on.

Transport
Do not depalletise the solar panels before arriving at the
construction site. FONROCHE guarantee is voided if the modules are
handled before.
All mechanical parts are collected together on a separate pallet. Do
not disassemble the packages before arriving at construction site.
Reception
The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit
damage immediately at receipt:
-Control if the parts have not been harmed during transport,
otherwise please claim damage to the shipper within 48h after
receipt (and inform FONROCHE Lighting).
-Likewise, control the right fit bracket/pole, if any operating
problem is found, claim damage to FONROCHE Lighting.
Long-term storage
Power365 system:
Batteries must be stored within their original packing in a dry location.
The installation of batteries should happen
before the date indicated on the packing.
Contact FONROCHE Lighting in case you need to
store them longer.
Mechanical parts:
Mechanical parts must not be stored directly on the ground or near a storage
place of powdery products. The storage area should be sufficiently ventilated
to avoid any deterioration.
Poles strapping should be removed for storage periods longer than 3 weeks.
Maintenance - swap
The client is responsible for returning any defective part to FONROCHE
Lighting for expertise. After receipt of the defective parts, FONROCHE Lighting
will determine the guarantee validity. Depending on the result of the
expertise, the defective spare part may be charged to the client if the
guarantee period has expired or if the default is the result of an event out of
FONROCHE Lighting responsibility (bumps, falls, unadapted handling…).
Installation must comply with the installation manual ;
all items provided must be installed otherwise the
guarantee is voided.

Assemble the lanterns on the bracket
Set the luminaries
Use an electrician needle (fish-tape) to draw the
connector cables of the 2 lanterns through the bracket to
the top.
For all the assembly, every screw/nut system must be
tightened to the torque recommended by FONROCHE

Wait another min max, light
must switch OFF
If light switches OFF, installation is OK.
You can then bind all the cables with cable ties.

Check points
Installer
check
(write OK or
no)
Are lanterns straight positioned to optimize the lighting ?
Are the 16 pressure screws installed and correctly tightened ?
Is the PV oriented towards the equator ?
If several solar street lights are installed, are the PVs oriented towards the same direction ?
Is the PV set to 20° tilt (unless otherwise stated) ?
Are all the cable ties installed (so that the cables will not hang anywhere) ?
Are all the parts installed on the solar streetlight ?
If parts remain, please check on this manual to find out what has been forgotten and please be careful to
install everything.
Have the nut-screws systems been correctly tightened according to the tightening torques recommended
at page 4 ?

Page 16 of 16
The light remains switched
on during the day
Wrong connection of the PV
Check that the solar module is correctly connected
to the Power 365 battery system unit.
Defect of the solar module
Verify open circuit voltage on the cable towards the
module. You should measure a voltage between 30
and 40 V. If not, the module is damaged.
The light doesn’t work
Open circuit voltage during the
night is higher than detection
threshold for day/night
detection
Check that the solar module doesn’t catch stray
light from the surrounding.
The light doesn’t work
during installation test
Bad cables connection
Check that all connectors are connected and
correctly locked onto the Power 365 battery system
unit.
If the installation happens too
late in the evening, the system
unit doesn’t detect the solar
module and the system stays in
low-power transport mode.
Wait until next day so that the output voltage of the
solar module is high enough.
The light doesn’t work after
it has been working for
several days
Batteries are discharged
Check the connections of the solar module.
Check that there is no shadow on the solar module.
Check tilt angle and orientation of the solar module.
Wait some days if it is winter, if not call FONROCHE
Lighting for further actions.
For any other problem, please contact FONROCHE Lighting
