IMPORTANT: Always install the system assembly on the pole before inserting the batteries.
The assembly system should never be handled when the batteries are installed inside.

Note 1: The TX180 system is a 12Vdc system with one (1) 12V battery and one (1) 180W solar module. This system is
compatible with an LED luminaire operating at 12Vdc only.
Note 2: The TX360 system is a 24Vdc system with two (2) 12V batteries in series and two (2) 180W solar modules. This
system is compatible with an LED luminaire operating at 24Vdc. Do not use a 12Vdc luminaire on a 24Vdc system.
This will cause permanent damage to the LED driver.

STEP 1:
Using the 3/8-16 x 1¼” bolts and hardware (hex bolt, at washer, lock washer and hex nut), tighten the
two 30in “L” channels to the “main support” as indicated on the image.
STEP 2:
Using the 3/8-16 x 1” bolts and hardware (hex bolt, at washer, lock washer and hex nut), tighten the
two “L” channels (26in or 53in according to model) to the “30in L channel” as indicated on the image.

STEP 3:
Pass through the luminaire power cable (preinstalled in the battery box) into the 90 degree connector
to make it available for the luminaire connection. 10FT, #16 AWG is pre-wired.
STEP 4:
1. Determine the system’s orientation so that the solar panels are facing South.
2. Once the orientation is determined, use the drilling guide at the end of the document to drill holes
at the proper location.
3. Slide the system on the pole and use the 3/8”-16 x 6½” bolts and hardware to secure the system
into position. Bolts crosses the pole.
STEP 5:
Using the 5/16-18 x 1” bolts and hardware (hex bolt, at washer, lock washer and hex nut), install the
solar panels using their precut frame holes.
Note: The solar panel junction boxe needs to be on the down side.

STEP 6:
1. For the TX360 only, make a serial connection between the solar panels, as shown in the picture
(The positive cable of one panel with the negative cable of the other panel).
2. Then connect the two remaining cables to the MC4 (pre-wired) connector on the main battery com-
partment as shown on the image.
STEP 7:
1. Following the + and - (positive and negative) orientation as indicated in the battery compartment,
insert the batteries.
2. For the TX300 only, using the supplied cable, make a serial connection between the batteries
(The positive terminal of one battery with the negative terminal of the other battery).
3. Then, by respecting the cable polarities, complete the batteries connection by using the pre wired
cables in the battery compartment.

STEP 8:
Close the battery compartment door using the 1/4”-20 bolts
and neopren washers.
STEP 9:
Install the pole arm and the luminaire at the desired location,
minimum 18in underneath the battery compartment.
Hardware not provided for the pole arm.
Pole arm and luminaire specications are included herein.
The DC lighting xture has 3 wires:
Positive Red(+), Negative Black(-), and Dimming White
(signal). Please make all 3 connections for proper opera-
tion.
DAY-NIGHT TRANSITION
The TX360 solar system uses the solar panel to detect day and night periods. The night transition re-
quires a very low brightness level for 5 continuous minutes. This constraint prevents false night transi-
tions that could be caused by storm clouds in the evening. If the solar module is covered with debris,
the solar module voltage may be too low and may cause light synchronization errors. If the light works
erratically, make sure the solar module is clean. The light automatically corrects synchronization errors
whithin 24 hours.
IMPORTANT
If you wish to store the batteries, they need to be recharged before storing for a period of 15 days or
more in order to prevent damage to the battery. The batteries must be stored at 20°C room temperature.
The light must be installed in an open area, no trees or nearby structure, this could favor snow accu-
mulation and shading.
Never manipulate the battery compartment when the batteries are inside. Use the quick access door to
remove the batteries before handling. Failing to follow these recommendations can result in seri-
ous danger and dammage.
