The solar panel voltage is lower than the light control on voltage, and after a

The solar panel voltage is higher than the light control off voltage, and after
a preset time delay , the controller will switch off the load.
The solar panel voltage is lower than the light control on voltage, and after a
time delay, the controller will switch on the load. From this point on, the load
will work for a preset period of time (1 to 14 hours) before being switched off.
In this mode, whether it's day or night, users can press and hold the "OK"
key to switch on or off the load; this mode is often used in some special
occasions or during commissioning.
As long as the solar panel voltage is lower than the light control on voltage,
the controller will immediately switch on the load;
As soon as the solar panel voltage gets higher than the light control off
voltage, the controller will immediately switch off the load.
This mode is usually used during system installation and commissioning.
This mode is suitable for applications requiring 24-hour operation, and after
being switched on, the load keeps outputting in this mode.
