IMPORTANT: Always install the system assembly on the pole before inserting the batteries.
The assembly system should never be manipulated when the batteries are installed inside.
LIST OF MATERIAL
A) Solar module with integrated control system and wiring. (1 per system)
B) Battery main enclosure (1 per system)
C) Battery, 12V (1 per system)
D) Stainless Steel Hardware, 1/4”-20 (ZX60) or 5/16”-18 (ZX100) for system assembly
E) LED Luminaire (12Vdc compatible only)

STEP 1:
Using the supplied 1/4”-20 (ZX60) bolts or the 5/16”-18 (ZX100) bolts and hardware (hex bolt, lock
washer, at washer), fasten the battery compartment to the solar module as indicated on the image.
Orientation of the battery box is critical, use the “Door on this Side” sticker to conrm orientation.
Step 2: Find the optimal system orientation
a) First determine the system orientation so that the solar
module faces true south.
b) Use the drill guide at the end of the document to drill the
pole at the appropriate locations.
c) Install the system on the pole. Use the 1/4”-20 bolt and
hardware (bolts, at washer, lock washer and nut) through
the pole to secure in place.

STEP 3:
Insert the luminaire power cable located in the battery
main enclosure through the 90 deg connector located
at the bottom to make it available for the luminaire con-
nection. Supplied cable: #16 AWG, 6ft cable length,
pre-installed on the control side.
Step 4:
Insert the battery inside the compartment and make
the connection using the quick connector labeled
“BATTERY”.
Conrm proper system operation by observing a green
indicator light behind the system status window.
Important note: Never wire the “External PV” cable
directly on the battery, this will cause irreversible
damage to the battery. The “External PV” cable is
used to add a solar module as needed.
STEP 5:
Close the quick access door.

STEP 6:
Install the tenon and light at the desired location. Refer to the tenon drawing and luminaire installation
guide herein for more details.
Avoid having the luminaire illuminate the solar module surface. This would cause synchronization
errors as the articial lighting coming from the luminaire would simulate daylight causing the
luminaire to turn ON and OFF every 5 minutes.
The 12Vdc luminaire requires 3 connections: Red positive (+), Black negative (-) and White dim-
ming (signal). It is important to make all 3 connections so that the system operates correctly according
to current or future operating proles.

SOLAR PANNEL ORIENTATION
AND AUTONOMY
1.1 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
To avoid a loss of autonomy and a malfunction:
• The luminaire must be installed horizontally and must never be tilted;
• The luminaire must be installed in an open space with no trees or
structures nearby, this could favour snow accumulation and shading;
• The solar module must ideally oriented towards the south, otherwise see
table “ORIENTATION AND AUTONOMY”.
Failing to follow these recommendations can result in loss of system per-
formance.
FACTORS AFFECTING AUTONOMY:
Lack of sunshine, very low ambient temperature, snow accumulation due
to trees or structures nearby, shading due to nearby trees or structures,
solar module orientation (see table), sunshine below the monthly aver-
ages.
1.2 STORAGE AND HANDLING:
If you wish to store the luminaire, the battery needs to be recharged before storing for a period of 15 days or more
in order to prevent damage to the battery. The luminaire must be stored at 20°C room temperature.
The luminaire should never be manipulated when the battery is inside. Use the quick access door to
remove the battery before handling.
1.3 DEEP DISCHARGE PROTECTION
This protection signicantly increases battery lifespan. This protection also prevents permanent damage to the
battery caused by very deep discharges during cold weather. When the battery reaches a 50% state of charge,
the battery is automatically disconnected from the system until it’s state of charge reaches 85% i.e. about
1 day of sunshine in summer and about 4 days of sunshine in winter.
1.4 DAY-NIGHT TRANSITION
The xture uses the solar panel to detect day and night periods. The night transition requires a very low bright-
ness level for 5 continuous minutes. This constraint prevents false night transitions. Avoid exposing the luminaire
to an articial light source that may cause synchronization errors by simulating the day. If the xture operates
erratically, make sure the solar module is not covered with debris or heavy snow. The luminaire automatically
corrects synchronization errors after 24 hours. The occupancy sensor has its own photocell, which does not
activate when the ambient brightness is too high.
