humans approach
Check if the air temperature close to
human body temperature.
When the air temperature is close to human
temperature, motion detection may slow
down. It will return to normal after the air
temperature changes.
Check if the installation height is too
high.
It is out of motion detection range when
installation height exceeds 8m. It is
recommended to reduce the height or use
other operating modes.
Replace damaged motion sensor or
controllers.

1. Installation Direction of Solar Panel
Please choose the appropriate model depending on the sunlight intensity of the place and
required working time.
If the installation site is on the northern hemisphere, the solar panel should face to the south as
far as possible and if it is on the southern hemisphere, the panel should face to the north as much
as possible. (See 1)Picture
Make sure the sunlight is not blocked by any construction or trees during the installation or it will
affect the charging and discharging efficiency of the solar power system and the operation of the
street light. (See 2)Picture

It is suggested to choose the cantilever light pole for the LED street light and the cantilever should
be no wider than 60mm diameter. The diameter of the light pole top which is used to install the
solar power supply system should no more than 75mm.

3.How to place the Gateway ?
Road installation
Build wireless solar street light along the road, lamps have to divided into one or several
groups. Each group contains a Gateway and max 120 slave units. The Gateway should
be on the middle of each group.
Village/Factory/Park installation:
For installation at village/factory/park location, the Gateway is recommended placement
on the center of the area.

Drill holes on the pole. Firstly, determine
and mark the and LED street light AE3C split
position according to the optimum sun
radiation and road condition. Then drill a
Ф10mm hole at the position which is 88mm
away from the top of pole for fixing bracket.
Drill the other Ф25 hole on the pole where
the light is to be installed for threading
waterproof cables. (See Picture 4)
Joint the bracket to the AE3C unit. Thread
cables from the hole of bracket and set a
proper angle that solar panel can obtain
maximum energy from the sun (each scale
on the bracket is 6 degree). Fix the bracket
by fastening a M12 85 bolt. × (See Picture 5) Picture 5

At factory setting, AE3C units turn on at dusk and off at dawn automatically (light photosensitivity is
around 30lx). In the evening, AE3C units operate at dim mode when no one is not around, and
increase light output immediately when motion is detected, to conserve battery power. It ensures that
the light can work normally through days with limited sunlight.
