Note: The duration of illumination strongly depends on the intensity
and duration of the solar radiation during the day. During the winter
months please generally expect a shorter light ON time. If the lamp
should not shine on the first evening, please wait for a sunny day.
5. Automatic Energy Management
This specifically developed function ensures the optimal utilization of the
stored energy in the rechargeable battery.
The lamp is automatically switched on at dusk. The luminous power is
automatically reduced to 70% after three hours. The luminous power
is reduced to 50% after another three ours. The lamp is automatically
switched off after another two hours. That means, that the lamp is usually lit
the whole night in the summer half-year and that a significant optimization
of the duration of the light ON time can be achieved in the winter half-year.
6. Exchange of the rechargeable Battery
On average, the battery in the light globe has to be exchanged by a new
and identical in construction battery every two years. Used here is a Li-ion
battery with 3.2 V/ 1500 mAh.
A replacement battery is available from your
retailer or the manufacturer under
www.esotec.de
Proceed as follows when exchanging the battery:
1. Move the switch at the bottom side of the solar module into the position
(OFF).
2. Unscrew the 4 screws at the bottom side of the solar module with an
appropriate screwdriver and carefully remove the lid.
3. Take out the used battery and
replace it by a new, identical in
construction battery (illustration
5). Pay attention to the correct
polarity of the battery when
inserting it!
4. Now reattach the lid and screw
the 4 screws back in with a
suitable screwdriver.
5. Move the switch at the bottom
side of the solar module into
the position (ON). The spot is
ready for use again!
7. Malfunctions
1. The lamp is getting darker and darker at night!
Remedy: The lamp is equipped with an energy management. See item
5.
2. The globe is not activated at darkness!
Remedy: The battery in the lamp has reached the end of its lifetime?
The batteries shall usually be exchanged by new and identical in
construction batteries every two years!
Remedy: Is the switch at the bottom side of the solar module in position
„ON“?
Remedy: It the solar module illuminated by extraneous light (e.g.
spot)? Position the lamp at a darker place.
