Fonroche Lighting Flv4 Simple Bracket Solar Street Light Installation Guide

– Installation Manual –
Simple bracket solar street light 6.1 / 8.1

How does it work ?

The battery gets loaded during daytime with the electricity produced by the solar panel (PV).
Nighttime is detected by measuring the voltage of the solar panel :
– daytime PV voltage > 30V
– nighttime PV voltage = 0V  Avoid any shadow on the solar panel (trees, houses, traffic signs…). Shadows will considerably impact electricity production of the panel and hence reduce recharging of the battery. Avoid artificial light on the solar panel during nighttime. This could hinder correct detection of sun fall by the panel and can, worst case, completely disable switching on of the light.

Transport

Do not depalletise the solar panels before arriving at the construction site. FONROCHE guarantee is voided if the modules are handled before. All mechanical parts are collected together on a separate pallet. Do not disassemble the packages before arriving at construction site.

Reception

The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit damage immediately at receipt:

• Control if the parts have not been harmed during transport, otherwise please claim damage to the shipper within 48h after receipt (and inform FONROCHE Lighting). –
• Likewise, control the right fit bracket/pole, if any operating problem is found, claim damage to FONROCHE Lighting.

Installation must comply with the installation manual;all items provided must be installed otherwise the guarantee is voided.

Long-term storage

Power365 system:
Batteries must be stored within their original packing in a dry location.
The installation of batteries should happen before the date indicated on the packing. Contact FONROCHE Lighting in case you need to store them longer.

Mechanical parts:
Mechanical parts must not be stored directly on the ground or near a storage place of powdery products. The storage area should be sufficiently ventilated to avoid any deterioration.
Poles strapping should be removed for storage periods longer than 3 weeks.

Maintenance – swap

The client is responsible for returning any defective part to FONROCHE Lighting for expertise. After receipt of the defective parts, FONROCHE Lighting will determine the guarantee validity. Depending on the result of the expertise, the defective spare part may be charged to the client if the guarantee period has expired or if the default is the result of an event out of FONROCHE Lighting responsibility (bumps, falls, unadapted handling…).

Part list

1. Assemble the luminary on the bracket
   Use a draw wire (fish-tape) to draw the connector cable of the lantern through the bracket to the top.
   
2. Set the luminary
   For all the setup, every screw/nut system must be tightened to the torque advocated by FONROCHE*
   Be careful setting the nuts on the top side of the luminary
   *See table on page 4
3. Assemble the bracket on the pole and orientation
   Orient the luminary, fasten slightly each setscrew, and then tighten them all.
4. Insert the tube into the bracket
   Insert the cable into the tube.
   
5. Assemble the base support
   Set to 20° (unless otherwise stated).
   IMPORTANT
   Be so attentive to the lantern cable inside the tube when passing the screws N ° 3.
   
6. Assemble the support for PV modules
   Be careful to set the screws n°8 in the same way as illustrated in the scheme to avoid any problem when installing the battery.
7. Install the first PV binding, on the ground
   Install only one PV binding n°15 before erecting the pole
   
8. Erect the street light
   Once the street light erected, go to step 9.
9. Install the second binding, the battery and connect the luminary
   ♦ Same steps as step 7.
   ♦ Pass the cable under the battery.
   ♦ Energy Box label should be positioned always to upside (direction to PV).
   Do not leave the cable hanging under the support.
   
10. Assemble the PV
    
11. Orient the PV to the south
    ♦ Orient the PV towards the equator,
