HOW SOLAR HORN WORKS
Solar panel must be placed outdoors. The solar panel collects and converts sunlight into DC power while the
pre-installed rechargeable batteries store the energy to power the horn.
Solar light illumination time
It depends on the seasonal sunlight availability in your geographical area under certain weather conditions.
Stronger or longer sunlight hours enable batteries to store more energy which provides more horn runtime. On
the contrary, weaker or shorter sunlight hours reduce the lighting hours and its brightness as well.
Solar panel mounting locations
Solar panel must be placed outdoor at a location with its solar panel receiving direct sunlight at least five hours
each day. Shadowed locations will not allow batteries to be fully charged and will reduce both the brightness of
the light and the lighting hours. Precautions (prior to first time use)
1. To maximize battery capacity, the solar panel should be fully charged by direct sunlight for five hours
before initial use.
2. Under extremely cold temperatures, the batteries may not charge fully. In such cases, the horn may not
run as long.
INSTALLATION:
MOUNTING
This solar panel includes a permanent mounting system
that allows for mounting to square/round poles or flat
surfaces such as a wall or post shown in figure 1.
Position the solar panel in a location that receives the
maximum amount of sunlight throughout the day. This
may need adjusted depending on the season. With pole
mounting, loosen the adjustment bolts to fit solar panel
onto pole. Once mounted, tighten bolts snug to secure
panel to pole. For surface mounting, remove additional
plate and use the existing mounting holes to mount
