02 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing SATELIS PRO solar-powered area light.
Outdoor solar lighting systems use solar cells which convert sunlight
into electricity. Electricity is stored in batteries for use at night.
SATELIS PRO solar lights are easy to install and virtually maintenance
free. Using them won’t increase your electric bill.
Important Considerations
In order to avoid deep discharge of the battery during storage, please
fully recharge your battery every 4 months. Please make sure that the
light is installed in an area with sufficient sunlight irradiance. A strict
minimum of 3.5 hours/day of sunshine on average is recommended.
Select the right operating mode according to local codes & regula-
tions, and the local sunshine conditions. Keep it away from shadows.
Self-cleaning occurs when the light fixture has a minimum angle of
15 degrees.
Please save these installation instructions. Read all of the instructions
carefully before attempting to carry out any installation or wiring.
Do not open or attempt to repair the product on your own, as it many
cause serious damage and would void the product warranty. Contact
your local distributor for any questions concerning the installation.
Range of the light module on the lighting fixture is 20–26 feet (6–8
meters). The ideal installation spacing is >16 feet (5 meters). When
installing two or more lighting fixtures on one pole, select desired
operating mode before installation. Interference can cause delay or
malfunction when using the remote control to change operating modes
after installation.

malfunction when using the remote control to change operating modes
after installation.
Precautions When Working With Solar Panels
When the solar panel is exposed to light, a voltage appears at the
output terminals of the solar panel turning it into a source of electricity.
To avoid a shock hazard, make sure the solar panel is covered with an
opaque (dark) covering such as paper or cloth, during the installation.
Do not make contact with the terminals when the panel is exposed to
sunlight or any other light source.

1. Super Capacitor battery-powered SATELIS PRO lights are visibly
brighter than other outdoor solar lights, and their performance overall
is more reliable.
2. To charge the battery fully may take up to 12 hours.
3. The rechargeable battery can work continuously for 10 hours
at full power.
4. The output will be reduced to 40% when the battery is below 40% of
its capacity.
5. The battery will stop charging when the ambient temperature is below
-40°F or above 140°F.
Battery Status is indicated by the red/green indicator on the light
fixture as follows:
> Slow red light flashing (Every 2.5s) = Working
> Slow red flashing (Every 5s)= Open circurt
> Red light continuously on = Non-working
> Quick red flashing (Every 0.5s)= Charge fault
> Quick red flashing (Every 0.1s)= Over current or Short circuit
Storage
To avoid over discharge of the battery during storage, please
rechargethe lighting fixture every 4 months. Use the dedicated
charger to charge, and then reset the switch when done.
03 Battery Notes
(IAP) Intelligent Adaptive Program Battery Control Technology
In order to extend the off-grid autonomy of the SATELIS PRO 50W
under shade trees, heavy rain, and thick clouds, our controllers
now integrate an adaptive smart control feature to actively track
battery capacity and adjust light output accordingly. Before integrating
this feature, selecting a light output percentage on the remote would
yield an accurate percentage of max LED brightness. Activating the
IAP, the controller actively monitors the battery and regulates the
electrical current to the LEDs. The controller makes the light output of
a selected percentage on the remote relative to battery capacity rather
than max LED output. This smart-control feature can increase the fixture’s
off-grid performance by up to 40%
ATTENTION
Please contact SOLTECH for any battery questions. After connecting
the wires between solar panel and the light, SATELIS PRO 50W will
automatically turn on, and the indicator will begin flashing every 2.5
seconds. The light fixture will then turn on for 1 minute and then shut
off again. This means the fixture is switching from open circuit mode to
standard working mode. If you wish to shut off the light, you must first
cover the solar panel, then press the off button on the remote. You can
also just press the off button to turn off the light at night. When the
solar panel detects light, the fixture will activate and resume normal
operation, again.

04 Installation and Wiring Compliance
1. Installation and wiring must comply with the State and National
Electrical Codes.
2. The SATELIS PRO 50W model is intended for outdoor use
only and should not be installed in an unventilated area. it must be
installed in an environment within the operating temperatures
defined for the product.
3. The average sunshine in the installation area should be above
3.5 hours/day in order to ensure full function of the light fixture.
Avoid areas with shades.
4. Before installation, if applicable, ensure the light pole and its
foundation are solid enough to support the light fixture(s).
5. Before installation, ensure that the battery is fully charged. Install during
sunny days if possible.
6. Before installation, press the ON/OFF key in the remote control
and check whether it shows a red light on the indicator. Cover the
panel and check if the light module turns on normally within 1 minute.
After Installation
The light fixture will automatically turn on at night and turn off
during daylight.
Important Considerations
Orient the solar panel facing the equator
(e.g. facing south if in northern hemisphere).
Have a tilt angle of at least 15° to avoid dust accumulation
(0°=horizontal plane).

The solar charge in a battery pack won’t last forever. The off–grid system
relies on stored solar energy for autonomy. Angling your solar panels
properly can boost the power intake of your solar lighting system. You
want to angle your solar panels at a tilt based on the area’s latitude.
Tip
You can increase the tilt 15° in the winter or decrease 15° in the summer.
In this way you can get the maximum sunlight to recharge the battrey.
Strong sunlight Normal sunlight Less sunlight
Key
The area will dictate the installation of the fixtures and will sometimes
prevent the lights from facing south. But that’s okay! Panels facing West
& East won’t get as much light as Southern facing panels, but will still
collect a good amount of sunlight. A North facing panel also works, but
it will take longer to charge than any other direction. This would mean
that the solar charge will be less optimal if installations are facing North.

2. Connect/Test
Remote control device can be connected with any lighting fixture.
When all cables are connected and solar panel detectes sunlight, the fixture
will automatically turn on. To test, press the “Test” button once, the LED
light will turn on to indicate the fixture has been turned on. During the
day time, the indicator will slowly flashing red. That means the battery
is charging.
When using the remote for the first time, please remove the plastic
piece at the bottom to make the remote turn on.
16ft–33ft
The range of the remote control to the
indicator is 16ft (Day time) to 33ft (Night
time). Because the sunlight will impact
the signal of the remote control, we suggest
our users to setup the mode before they
install the light.
3. 40%~100% Motion Sensor Mode
Constant 40% brightness (turns on at dusk, turns off at dawn);
100% brightness turns on for 2 minutes when motion is detected.
4. 20%~80% Motion Sensor Mode (Default)
Constant 20% brightness (turns on at dusk, turns off at dawn);
80% brightness turns on for 2 minutes when motion is detected.
5. Night Owl Mode
Changes as natural light decreases/increases (turns on at dusk); 70%
brightness for 0.5 hour, 100% brightness for 3.5 hours, 70% brightness
for 1 hour, 50% brightness for 1 hour, 20% brightness for 5 hours
(turns off at Dawn).
6. Early Bird Mode
Changes as natural light decreases/increases with increased brightness
near dawn for early risers (turns on at dusk); 70% brightness for 0.5
hour, 100% brightness for 3.5 hours, 70% brightness for 1 hour, 50%
brightness for 1 hour, 20% brightness for 4 hours, 100% brightness
for 1 hour (turns off at Dawn).
Important
Dusk and dawn time may be diffrent in other locations and seasons.
The sensors of our products will follow the light patterns of where it is
installed. The time period shown in the chart above is just an example
to help you understand the different lighting modes only.
