Introduction Outdoor solar lighting systems use solar cells which convert sunlight into electricity. Electricity is stored in batteries for use at night. TEMPO Mobile Solar Light Tower combined with SUNLIKE solar lights are easy to install and virtually maintenance free. Using them avoids trenching, cabling, and electricity costs . Important 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. A strict minimum of 3.5 hours/day of sunshine on average is recommended. Select the right operating mode according to local codes and solar conditions. Keep it away from shadows. Self-cleaning occurs when the light fixture has minimum angle of 15 degrees above horizontal. Luminaire Options Please save these instructions. Read all of the instructions carefully before attempting to carry out any installation or wiring. Do not open or attempt to repair a SOLTECH luminaire 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 lighting fixtures is 2026 feet (68 meters). The ideal installation spacing betweeen fixtures is <16 feet (5 meters). When installing two or more light fixtures on one pole, select desired operating mode before installation. Radio frequency interference can cause delay or malfunction of the remote control when changing operating modes, after installation. Precautions when working with solar panels When the solar panel is exposed to sunlight, 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. 26.0 inches Red & Green Indicator 17.0 inches 36.0 inches 4.0 inches Light Module Charging Point DC14.6V 3.75A Red & Green Indicator 36.0 inches 17.0 inches 4.0 inches Light Module Charging Point DC14.6V 3.75A Indicator 17.0 inches Light Module 4.0 inches 04 Charging Point DC14.6V 3.75A 5.8 inches 7.5 ft 3.9 inches 15.8 inches 3.4 inches 7.2 inches 13.0 ft 14.3 ft 40.0 inches 05 02 Specifications Specifications Max Height Collapsed Height Mast Material Mast Profile Mast Sections Operation Mast Max Load Max Wind Speed Warning Strips Lift Limit Stopper Lifting Eyes Fork Pockets Wheel Mast Flange Weight Dimensions TEMPO 14.3 ft (Without Luminaire) 7.5 ft (Without Luminaire) Steel Square 3 Manual Winch 1500 Lbs 110 Lbs 90 mph Included Included X4 Included N/A Removable 770 Lbs (Without Sand Ballasting and Luminaire) 40.0 inches X 40.0 inches X 90.0 inches (Collapsed Without Luminaire) 06 Luminaire Specifications SUNLIKE 20W LED Nominal Power 20W Solar Panel 18V 36W Battery Weight 256WH 12.8V 20AH LiFePO4 21.4 lbs Lumen Output@5000K 4,000 CRI LED Chip EPA > 70 Lumileds 5050 (215lm-CR>70) 4.75 Waterproof Rate IP65 Casting Aluminum Efficiency@5000K 200 lm/W * Charging Time 7hrs Run Time(@Full Power) Operation Mode Installation Height * Operating Temperature * Charging Temperature 10hrs Remote control and One-key Setting 9 to 16ft -4 °F to 122 °F 32 °F to 149 °F Maximum Autonomy SUNLIKE 30W 30W 18V 52W 384WH 12.8V 30AH LiFePO4 29.8 lbs 6,000 > 70 Lumileds 5050 (215lm-CR>70) 6.26 IP65 Aluminum 200 lm/W 7hrs 10hrs Remote control and One-key Setting 9 to 20ft -4 °F to 122 °F 32 °F to 149 °F SUNLIKE PRO 30W 30W 18V 52W 320 WH 12.8V 25AH Superior 47.1 lbs 6,000 > 70 Lumileds 5050 (215lm-CR>70) 6.26 IP65 Aluminum 200 lm/W 7hrs 11hrs Remote control and One-key Setting 9 to 20ft -4 °F to 140 °F -58 °F to 140 °F Motion Sensor Mode 40%100% 35hrs 20%80% 55hrs 40%100% 35hrs 20%80% 55hrs 40%100% 25hrs 20%80% 50hrs Time Control Mode Night Owl 28hrs Early Bird 25hrs Night Owl 28hrs Early Bird 25hrs Night Owl 23hrs Early Bird 20hrs Constant Mode 100% 11hrs 70% 15.5hrs 40% 27hrs 100% 11hrs 70% 15.5hrs 40% 27hrs 100% 11hrs 70% 15hrs 40% 26hrs * The temperature can impact the battery's charging and normal operation.

The offgrid 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 Key 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 bank. Strong sunlight Normal sunlight Less sunlight Best Facing Direction of Solar Panel Montana Wyoming Colorado New Mexico North Dakota South Dakota Nebraska Kansas Minnesota Wisconsin Iowa Illinois Missouri Michigan Indiana Ohio Kentucky Vermont Maine New Hampshire New York Massachusetts Rhode Island Connecticut Pennsylvania New Jersey West Virginia Delaware Maryland Virginia OK Worst OK Oklahoma Texas Arkansas Tennessee North Carolina South Carolina Louisiana Alabama Mississippi Georgia Florida Best 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.

Because the sunlight will impact the signal of the remote control, we suggest our users to setup the mode before they install the light. 1. On/Off When off is selected, the light will stop working. The solar panel will not charge the battery and the battery will not supply electricity to the light. 2. Connect/Test Remote control device can be connected with any lighting fixture, one at a time. To connect, press the button once. It also functions as a test button. To test, press the "Test" button once, the red light will indicate the fixture is charging, green light indicates that the fixture is operating. Testing lasts for 10 seconds, and then it goes back to the mode previously in use. (IAP) Intelligent Adaptive Program Battery Control Technology In order to extend the off-grid autonomy of the SOLTECH solar products under shady 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. Now with (IAP), the controller actively monitors the battery and regulates the electrical current to the LEDs. The controller makes light output of the selected percentage on the remote relative to battery capacity rather than max LED output. This smart-control feature can increase our off-grid performance by up to 40%. Important Dust and dawn time can vary for different locations and seasons. The sensors in our products will monitor the light levels where it is installed. The time period shown in the chart above is just an example to help you understand the different lighting modes. 015 07 Remote Control Guide 7. 100% Constant Mode 100% brightness from dusk to dawn. 8. 70% Constant Mode 70% brightness from dusk to dawn. 11.
