Symptoms
Troubleshooting steps
Process
1
No light at night
Check that the lamp can be manually
activated.
Refer to “Activation and Installation” section
on this user guide and run activation tests.
Check if the solar panel is blocked
from the sunlight by houses, trees and
other obstacles.
Clear obstructions or change installation
location.
Check if there is any artificial light
source(s) shining on the solar panel
during the night.
Remove the artificial light source(s) of
interference or change the installation
location.
Examine status of each component
based on the repair guide.
Replace the damaged component(s).
2
A serious shortage
of working time
Check if the solar panel is blocked
from the sunlight by houses, trees and
other obstacles.
Clear obstructions or change installation
location.
Check if the surface of the solar panel
is dusty or covered.
Clean the surface of solar panels as
detailed above.
Examine if the battery pack is
damaged as per the repair guide
instructions.
Replace damaged battery.
3
Lighting does not
follow the normal
operating mode of
turning on and off
Reprogram.
4
Lights fail to turn
on properly when
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.
Troubleshooting
With the gateway switched off, i.e., its red indicator lamp is
off, insert the 2G/4G SIM card into the slot according to the
picture.
Please use LEDSUN EDGE APP to remotely control and configure the street light, visit

2Gateway Communication
Push the switch button of the solar engine controller for 5
seconds to active it (This step is not needed if the solar
engine has been activated), then push the switch button of
the Gateway for 5 seconds to see its red indicator lamp
turns on.
Wait until the Gateway's communication is connected
successfully, i.e., its yellow indicator lamp turns on.
Add Gateways/Lights on App

the Gateway column.
Test Network Communication
Click the light column → Click 'Remote Control' to turn on/off the lights remotely via the App, for
testing the network communication is successful, before you proceed to install the solar light.
Mark Pole Numbers
After the solar light is installed, mark a serial number on its pole as the pole number. And on the App,
change the Equipment Name of the solar light to the same as its pole number for future maintenance
convenience. Open and keep the GPS access of your mobile phone, open LEADSUN EDGE App
within 1m of the light pole, and update/get the Longitude and Latitude coordinates of the solar light on
the page of “Edit Equipment”. This is very important for analyzing the light’s network signal status.
