Installation guide
ⅠPurpose of this guide
This guide contains information regarding the installation and safe handling of solar street lights. All instruction should be read and understood before attempting to install. If there are any questions, please contact our sales department for further explanation. The installer should conform to all the safety precautions in the guide when and installing the lamps. Local codes should also be followed in such installation.
Before installing the solar street light, the installer should become familiar with the mechanical and electrical requirement for such a system. Keep this guide in a safe place for future reference (care and maintenance) and in case of sale or disposal of all the solar street lights
ⅡGeneral
The solar street lamp installation is different from traditional one especially for solar panel and battery. The installation and construction procedure is as below: location selected, cement base pouring, preparation in field (battery placing, solar panel and bracket connection), post assembling (threading, light installation, panels and brackets mounting), pole lifting, battery connection, controller fixed, post location re-checked, and final inspection.
1. Location selected
(1).Field survey. Make sure no shelter around and enough lifted space (no high-tension cable surrounding)
(2).According to street lamp road installation standard and requirement, there are three decoration methods for fixing post. Unilateral, bilateral cross and bilateral symmetry three kinds. Post height are based on effective road width and decoration method, and separation distance are about the height and light illuminate angle (General is three times of height)
2.cement base pouring：
(1). Embedded part dimension.
According to factory providing information and our actual demand, we suggest post height and embedded items dimension as below:
(2).Digging hole.
According to embedded parts dimension to ensure hole size, especially reserve enough place for battery. Details as below:
(3). Cement base pouring.
Use C20 standard concrete to pour，and tamp cement base heavily with bobbing machine. When pouring, do not make concrete splash whereon screw rod to slow down installation. When threading PVC pipe, take as the drawing requirements to make sure no concrete inside. Notice there is 250mm gap between down pipe terminal to flat surface. Finally make sure the surface is horizontal with a tester to ensure four feet in the same level.
ⅢPreparation ：
1. As the installation requirements, prepare all the necessary tools and list them
2. Transport and carry all the components listed, and check the quantity and models one by one.
ⅣInstallation：
1. Battery installation.
Before operation, make sure battery models are the same as configuration listed (if a group, make sure connection method first. If in parallel, should not be over 4 pcs). Connect each terminal firmly and place them in battery cabinet. Seal the cabinet well with screws to avoid water seepage. Next put the cabinet in the hole and cover or bury it. What doing it, choose a fine day. After burying finish, check the voltage whether normal or not.
2. Mounting solar panel.
Fix the panel into the bracket firmly with screws and connect as the requirement (in series or parallel).After connection, make a test for the output voltage whether meet the installation. In general, the tested voltage should not lower than 18V in 12V system. If 24V system, the voltage not lower than 36V.
3. Post assembling
Check the installation position and direction. Confirm the length of wires stripping required. Each terminal should be peeled out 150mm in general. And then install lamp and check the position and levelness based on post. After wire connection, notice the positive and negative poles and inspect terminals whether fixed hard. All these done should
