INSTALLATION
NOTE
When scheduling the installation, make sure that the outside temperature does not
drop below freezing on the day of installation or on the next three days after installa-
tion. On the first few days, the system will record the new environmental conditions,
such as hours of daylight. During this period, the battery may initially be discharged
completely. This in combination with very low temperatures can cause damage to the
battery.
STEP 1
MOUNTING THE POWER UNIT TO THE LAMP UNIT
Unpack the power unit carefully and check it for shipping damage. Remove the trans-
port safety mounting (4 pieces) from the bottom of the power unit using the 5mm
Allen wrench.

ATTENTION
Do not press on the solar panels!
Unpack the lamp unit and check it for shipping damage. Connect the yellow plug on
the power unit with the yellow plug on the lamp unit (pay attention to the white mar-
kings!). Then connect the black plug on the power unit with the black plug on the lamp
unit (pay attention to the white markings once again!).

Unpack the lamp pole and check it for shipping damage.
All cables must then be stowed in the holding tube of the light housing. Take the
screws from the transport safety mounting and secure the lamp unit to the power
unit.
PLEASE SELECT THE CORRECT END OF THE LAMP POST WHEN MOUNTING! THE UPPER
END HAS A TOTAL OF 6 DRILL HOLES!

Then slide the power unit/lamp onto the lamp post to the stop (see figure 3).
Now you can fix and center the lamp post by tightening the 6 M8 threaded pins
(see figure 4).

LAMP UNIT ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Remove the fitted coverings on the side of the lamp unit and loosen the 4
screws. The desired angle of the lamp unit can now be selected and then
fixed by retightening the screws.
BY LOOSENING THE SCREWS ON
THE SIDE OF THE LAMP UNIT,
THE ANGLE CAN BE ADJUSTED.
STEP 5
INSTALLING THE LAMP POLE
Mount the lamp pole in either a screw foundation or a pipe foundation as
is described in the following pages. When standing up the lamp pole, it is
necessary to use mechanical aid.

COMMISSIONING AND PROGRAMMING
One the lamp unit is connected to the power unit, the aron lamp is ready for operation
(step 1). No further steps are necessary.
The performance of a solar lamp is limited by the sunlight available at its location. As
such, the quality of individual components and their optimal interaction play a criti-
cal role, which is maximally achieved through the precise control system of the aron
lamp..
NOTE
Each aron lamp is equipped with its own control system. Switch-on times depend on
the performance of the modules connected to the aron lamp. For that reason, there
may a slight variance in switch-on and switch-off times, even for lamps in the same
location.

CARE OF THE SOLAR LAMP
Because the solar lamp is exposed year-round to wind and weather, it makes sense to
give the lamp a thorough cleaning once a year.
Use a damp cloth to clean the glass and the solar module. Remove any leaves, residue,
or insects from these surfaces.

YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
DISPOSAL OF PACKAGING
The packaging protects the solar lamp from damage during transportation. The pa-
ckaging materials are selected for their environmental friendliness and ease of disposal
and can therefore be recycled. Recycling these materials saves raw materials and redu-
ces waste.
DISPOSAL OF THE SOLAR LAMP
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. However, they
also contain harmful substances necessary for their proper function and safety. If dis-
posed of or handled improperly these substance can cause damage to human health
and the environment. Never dispose of your old appliance in a normal waste bin. Use
the special collection points set up for disposing of and recycling electrical and electro-
nic equipment. When in doubt, contact your dealer.
