INSTALLATION:
The Heliosol is designed to be mounted on any flat surface or column, with the solar panel located up to approximately 2m away to ensure
maximum light exposure. The higher the light is mounted, the larger the illuminated area with slightly less intensity. A 4m extension cable is
available to extend the distance between solar panel & flood light –this may increase the charging time slightly.
Location –It is important that the installation location is carefully considered, avoiding
shady areas. The best position for the solar panel is south facing; however, it will still
charge the battery when facing in other directions, especially when in full sunshine.
Ensure there are no other lights which could interfere with the panel, imitating daylight.
Always mount the solar panel higher than the floodlight to avoid light interference.
SURFACE MOUNTING
1. Experiment with desired position of both the flood light and solar panel,
ensuring there is enough slack in the cable to safely hook up when they are
mounted in the desired location in prime charging position. It is recommended
that cables are connected to ensure there is enough cable (with slack)
between the panel and unit before final mounting.
2. Once happy with the positioning, mark the mounting holes of each bracket in
the desired location. See diagram below and “to scale”template attached.
3. Drill out the holes and use relevant screws / plugs for the mounting surface
and secure both the solar panel (white) and floodlight (black) brackets in place.
4x M10 anchor bolts supplied.
4. Attach the white solar panel bracket to the solar panel using the 2x M5
hexagonal bolts, 4x flat washers and 2x locking nuts (see diagram). Do not
overtighten to allow adjustment. Note: the screw head and
smaller flat washer should be located on the inside of the
panel, with the larger flat washer and locking nut on the
outside of the panel. Allen key supplied. 8mm spanner
required.
5. Attach the black floodlight bracket to the floodlight using the
2x M8 hexagonal bolts, flat washers and lock washers (see
diagram). Do not overtighten to allow adjustment after
installation. 14mm spanner required.
6. Adjust the angle of the solar panel & flood light, as desired, and
tighten into position with the socket wrench / spanners used
previously. Adjust solar panel to approx. 45 degrees upwards for maximum charge effectiveness.
7. Connect the floodlight and solar panel cables (see below). Check the waterproof cable connector(s) are secure.
COLUMN MOUNTING
1. Follow steps 4 and 5 above.
2. Attach the relevant 76mm or 60mm brackets to both the floodlight
bracket and solar panel bracket as per the instructions.
3. Mount the bracket securely onto the column with the solar panel as
high as possible.
4. Continue with steps 6 and 7 above.
CONNECTIONS:
The Heliosol uses a simple, modular, plug & play system (DC). If the flexible connector has been mis-
figured in transit, simply massage into shape and round off with the cap.
To connect together each waterproof connector:
1. Locate the top notch and groove (see fig. A).
2. Firmly push together both connectors, aligning the top notch and groove (in point 1) and the
2 pins (see Fig. B).
3. Ensure the red o-ring is present (see Fig. B)
4. Secure the connectors with the screw cap (turning clockwise) to create a watertight
connection (see Fig. C).
5. Turn on the system via the remote control to test all fittings are working as expected. Turn
the power back off until fully installed. Note: in daylight the solar panel will need to be
covered to mimic darkness when plugged into the floodlight to enable testing.
IMPORTANT:
If buried or laid on a muddy surface, cable should be placed inside conduit or piping to protect from water-logging, damage and chemicals
found in soil. If this method is not followed, cable warranty may be void. Cables can also be hooked up on fences safely, however protective
sleeving is still recommended.
