Troubleshooting - Conrad 57 70 10 Bedienungsanleitung

Getting Started
☞
If the top surface of the solar cell or refl ectors of the LED spot-
light is covered the transport protection fi lm then remove it
now.
• Remove the rubber gasket (1) on the bottom side of the LED
spotlight. Then insert the plug (2) of the solar module cable end into
the socket (3).
• The LED spotlight is delivered with an empty rechargeable battery. Be-
fore initial setting into operation, ideally the rechargeable battery should
be charged for 2 days in the sunshine.
The LED spotlight can be deactivated for this purpose by means of the
on/off switch (4) (when the spotlight is switched off, the switch stands out
slightly further from the housing).
• The LED (A) serves as a function display. In standby mode, the LED
blinks once every 5 seconds. When motion is detected by the integrated
PIR motion detector, the LED blinks fast (about twice a second). If the
rechargeable battery is fl at, the LED blinks slowly once a second; In this
case, the PIR motion detector does not work and the LED spotlight is not
activated.
Setting the switching time
The time for the activation of the LED spotlight can be adjusted with the
dial (see fi gure, right).
If the PIR motion sensor detects temperature variation in the detection
range (red LED (A) fl ashes fast), then the LED spotlight is switched on for
the corresponding amount of time and then switches off.
If a new temperature change is detected by the PIR motion sensor within
this period, the switched-on period returns to the start again.
The LED spotlight goes out if no further temperature change in the detec-
tion range is detected for the corresponding time.
Setting the brightness control
This knob allows the switching threshold to be set, i.e. the ambient bright-
ness at which the motion switch is activated.
Turning the dial counter clockwise to the left in the "Night" direc-
tion will make the motion sensor activate when it is darker; turning
it clockwise to the right in the „Day" direction will make the motion sensor
activate in brighter environment.
Testing the motion sensor
• Previously, the rechargeable battery of the LED spotlight should be suffi ciently charged. Switch off the LED
spotlight with the on-off switch on the underside (see picture in Chapter "Getting Started," Pos. 4). The
solar module charges the battery in the LED spotlight after 2 sunny days. Then switch the LED spotlight
on again.
• Turn the brightness control knob to the "Day" position.
• Turn the dial for the switched-on period to the "5 sec" position.
• Leave the detection range of the PIR motion sensor.
• Now cross the detection range. LED spotlight should now switch on.
☞
As described above, the LED spotlight remains switched on as long as temperature variation is
detected within the detection range.
The LED spotlight goes out as soon as you leave the detection range and the PIR motion sensor
detects no temperature variations for 5 seconds.
Maintenance and Cleaning
The product does not require any maintenance and should never be disassembled for any reason.
Any maintenance or repair work must only be carried out by authorised personnel/workshop.
The exterior of the product can be cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with water. Under no circumstances
should you use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions, since these could damage the housing
or impair operation.
Never aim the jet of the garden hose or a pressure washer at the LED spotlight or the solar module!
It is advisable to thoroughly clean the solar module surface at least once a year, to maximise the charging
rate.
Disposal
a) General instructions
Dispose of the unserviceable product according to the relevant statutory regulations!
Remove the rechargeable battery installed in the LED spotlight and dispose of it separately from
the product.
b) Disposal of spent rechargeable batteries
As the end user, you are required by law (Battery Ordinance) to return all spent rechargeable batteries;
disposing of them in the household waste is prohibited!
Contaminated rechargeable batteries are labelled with these symbols to indicate that disposal in
the domestic waste is forbidden.
The symbols for dangerous heavy metal constituents are: Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb =
Lead.
You can return used rechargeable batteries free of charge to any collection facility in your local authority, to
our stores or to any other store where rechargeable batteries are sold.
Hence you fulfi l the legal requirements and make your contribution to protecting the environment!

Troubleshooting

LED spotlight does not function.
• Check the position of the on/off switch of the LED spotlight (see picture in Chapter "Getting Started," Pos. 4).
• Make sure that the battery pack is plugged in inside the LED spotlight. For this purpose, just remove the
wall-mounting plate fastening screw on the bottom side of the LED spotlight and then detach the LED
spotlight from the wall-mounting plate. If the L-shaped metal arm is used, the latter should be removed fi rst.
• The rechargeable battery is delivered in an uncharged state. First, it should be charged for two sunny
days. To do this, switch off the LED spotlight, using the on/off switch.
• Make sure that the connection plug on the cable end of the solar module is correctly and properly plugged
into the socket in the bottom side of the LED spotlight.
The PIR motion sensor does not work properly.
• The motion detection works on the basis of the detection of temperature variations in the detection range.
So mere motion is not enough for an object to be detected, it has to be recognised by a change in tem-
perature.
• Adjust the orientation of the motion sensor. Check its functionality; see section "Testing the motion sensor".
• The cover provided can reduce the detection range.
• The range is largely depends on the size of the moving object and its temperature difference compared
with the background. If the motion sensor is directed e.g. towards a warm house wall, then a person mov-
ing through the detection range will be hard to detect.
In winter, heavy clothes complicate correct triggering of the motion sensor.
• In ideal case, the detection range has to be crossed sidewise. The detection is poorer, if you move directly
towards the PIR motion sensor.
The LED spotlight switches on for a longer period than it was programmed to do.
• The device is automatically restarted if a new temperature variation within the detection range is detected
by the motion sensor during this period.
The light goes out only when the motion sensor detects no further temperature variation in the detection
range during the set time.
