Chamberlain 815LM Manual

Solar Powered LED Motion
Sensor Light
Model 815LM
FEATURES
• Turns on light when motion is detected.
• Automatically turns light off.
• Photocell keeps the light off during daylight hours.
• Battery Protection Circuitry. Unit will shut down when battery
is low. Unit will automatically resume operation when battery is
recharged to a safe level.
INITIAL BATTERY CHARGE
The solar panel requires full, direct sunlight to charge the
battery. Clouds, rain, snow, and other weather conditions
may not allow the solar panel to completely recharge the
battery. Other obstructions such as buildings or trees may
block the sun as well.
When installing the solar panel, make sure it is aimed as
described below with a minimum amount of obstructions. If
possible, mount the panel facing toward the southern sky.
• PRIOR TO USE, the battery will require 3 to 7 days of full sun
to completely charge with the ON-TIME switch in the OFF
position. Plug the solar panel cable into the bottom of the
battery case. If possible, aim the solar panel toward the south
and tilt it approximately 50° from horizontal (see illustration on
next page). If the solar panel cannot be aimed toward the south,
then tilt the panel approximately 30° if possible.
• To verify battery is charged, slide the ON-TIME switch to TEST.
Wait 2 minutes for sensor to warm up. If light comes on when
motion is detected after warm up period, battery is charged and
ready for use. If light does not come on, slide the ON-TIME to
OFF. Recheck the light the next day.
• Actual operating time will vary depending upon how frequently
the light is turned on by the motion sensor and amount of
sunlight collected.
• Solar lighting is not designed to equal standard 120V lighting.
The amount of light output is reduced to allow the sun time to
fully recharge the battery between lighting cycles.
UNPACKING
Be sure to remove all contents from packaging and verify all items
are present before assembling this light fixture. This package
includes the following items:
Solar Light Fixture
Battery Case
Mounting Screws (2 sizes)
Tapered Screw (3)
INSTALLATION
For best performance, mount the fixture about 8 feet (2.4 m)
above the ground. For best solar collection, mount the solar panel
on a southern facing surface. Note: If fixture is mounted higher
than 8 ft. (2.4 m), aiming the sensor down will reduce coverage
distance.
1. Mount Solar Panel. Allow for enough wire to reach the battery
case. Attach triangular base to a solid surface using three
tapered screws. IMPORTANT: Caulk around the base and on
top of the tapered screw heads after installation.
Note: See Initial Battery Charge and illustration on next page for
solar panel setup information.
