IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ySAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS — This manual contains important instructions that should be followed
during installation and maintenance.
yThe installation and maintenance must be carried out by qualified technicians.
yWARNING—Smoking and fires are strictly prohibited at the installation site. Lead acid batteries can gener-
ate small amount of hydrogen which may cause explosion when exposed to fire. NEVER short circuit the bat-
tery (Never connect its “+” wire directly with the “-” wire.) because short circuits may damage the battery.
yDO NOT short circuit the solar panel or load while connected to the controller. This will DAMAGE the
controller.
yThe controller and battery should be protected from direct sunlight. Ensure adequate space for air flow
around it.
yBe very careful of the fragile components like solar panel and light fixture during transferring and installation.
yBe very careful of the finished surfaces of the pole, lamp arm, brackets and light fixture during transferring
and installation. The paint is easily damaged if not well protected.
yBe careful when working with copper wire and other components as they are sharp.
yEveryone except working staff should be kept at least 30 feet away from the job site.
yInstallation during rainy days is not recommended.

3. SOLAR STREET LIGHT INSTALLATION
A. PREPARATION
a) Study the Connection Diagram before Installation
Connection diagram
b) Cable Cutting and Labeling
yMeasure and cut the cable
The length of cable for solar panel = pole length + length of pole sleeve on the solar panel bracket
The length of cable for light fixture = pole length + lamp arm length
yLabel the cut cables as “panel cable” and “lamp cable”
c) Cable Stripping
yStrip wires for battery, light fixture, and solar panel. Wrap both the “+” and “-” wires of battery and solar panel
with insulation tape to avoid short circuit.

B. STORAGE BATTERY INSTALLATION
①. Assemble the connector of the battery box as per the following picture. Do not screw the connector too hard
or it may break.
②. Place the battery into the battery box.
③. Connect two batteries in series.
④. Wrap both the “+” and “-” wires of battery with insulation tape to avoid short circuit.
⑤. Pass the cable of the battery through the wire reinforced hose.
⑥. Cover the battery box, add the sealing ring and seal it tightly with fasteners.
⑦. Bury the battery box in the battery pit and pass the wire reinforced conduct through the PVC pipe (Refer to
the Foundation Drawing).
⑧. Fill some sands around the battery box ensure there is a proper operating temperature for battery in winter.
Pass wires through the connector Add sealing ring Seal the box
C. TEST THE LIGHTING SYSTEM BEFORE MOUNTING
①. Connect the controller with the output cable of the battery.
②. Connect light fixture with the controller. If the lamp lights up (Sometime it takes 1~2 minutes for the lamp to
light up), go on to the next step. If the lamp still doesn’t light up, check the connection and contact us.
③. Connect the solar panel with the controller. If the lamp turns off when the solar panel put under the sunlight
charging, you can start mount. If lamp is still on, check the connection and contact us.
④. The disassembly order should be: solar panel →light fixture →storage battery
Note
Follow the connection diagram in the previous page during connecting.
Connect “–”first, then “+”.
Avoid short circuit.

F. HOISTING
Lift the pole with a crane and put it on the foundation. Place the washer and screw down the nuts on each bolt.
Note
• Do not change the working mode or load without contacting FEIYA. The solar lighting system is custom
designed; it may work improperly after any changes.
• All bolts and cable terminals must be tightened to ensure reliable connection. Please make sure that the polarity
is not reversed, including each component, storage battery, controller, etc..
• As each solar street light is powered by an independent power supply (battery), they may not turn on or turn off
simultaneously.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Problem Cause Solution
Lamp does light up at all
Ambient light is much
stronger
The light source will start automatically when the
ambient light dims to a certain degree
Light source is damaged Replace it with the same light source
The output circuit is open,
short, or grounded Check the output circuit connection
The connection between the
storage battery's terminals is
an open circuit
Check the connection between the storage battery's
terminals and make sure it is okay.
The controller is damaged Repair the controller or replace it with the same
model controller.
Lamp works irregularly
or shuts off too soon
The solar panel is covered by
other things Clean the solar panel.
The voltage of the storage
battery is below 11.1V (22V
for 24V system)
1. If the low voltage is caused by too many rainy
days, it will recover automatically when the sun
returns.
2. Check the connection of the solar panel
3. Check the battery connection

MAINTENANCE
FEIYA’s solar street lights are designed to be essentially maintenance free . In certain regions with extreme
conditions, however, some level of maintenance is required to ensure the proper function of the lights. These regions
are typically where there is a risk of dust, snow, or ice covering the solar panels and thus reducing the power of the
lights. In regions with frequent rain, the tilt angle of the solar panels allow for self cleaning of dust. However, in
places where rain is infrequent, periodic manual cleaning of the panels may be required.
Typical maintenance schedule:
• Every Week: Inspection of street lights to ensure all the lights are working. If there are lights which are
not lit, perform analysis to understand cause and conduct repairs.
• Every 2 Month: Inspect street light panels and clean ones which are covered with dust or sand. The best
way to clean the panels is with a brush at the end of a long pole. Care should be taken to avoid damaging
the solar panels.
• Every 5-7 Years: Replace the solar street light batteries if the voltages drop below normal levels. The
battery has an expect life of 5-7 years.
Note
• Please do not use components from other suppliers for replacement without our allowance, as this may cause
damage to the lighting system.
• Do not use water to flush it from top to bottom when cleaning the solar panel
