How Your Solar Powered Post Cap Works
- The solar panel converts sunlight energy into electricity during the day. The photocell
automatically turns the light on at night with the electricity stored in the batteries. It requires no wiring,
because it runs off the sunlight energy to recharge the batteries so there is no cost to run the solar cap.
- The number of hours the light stays on depends on your geographical location, weather conditions and
seasonal sunlight availability.
- Easy “Do-It Yourself” installation.
Each Classy Cap Includes:
- 1 Solar Post Cap Light
- 1 Mounting Screw
- 2 AA NiCad Rechargeable Batteries
Post Cap Installation
1) Twist the solar lid counter clockwise to remove from cap base as shown (fig.1).
2) Secure solar fixture to post using mounting screw provided as shown (fig. 1)
(pre-drill pilot hole into post to easily fasten screw). An outdoor silicone
may be applied to the bottom inside edge of cap for added security
3) Turn the on / off switch to on and twist the lid back into place.
4) Allow at least 8 hours of sunlight to fully charge the batteries.
To Replace The Batteries (battery replacement is about 1-2 years)
1) Twist the solar lid counter clockwise to remove from cap base as shown (fig.1).
2) Replace the batteries with new AA size 1.2 V NiCad rechargeable batteries.
Be sure to insert batteries in the proper direction.
3) Twist the lid back into place.
4) Allow the fixture to receive a full 8 hours of sunlight to allow the
rechargeable batteries to reach maximum capacity.
Troubleshooting
If the light does not turn on at dusk after 8 hours of charging:
- Check the batteries to make sure they are making secure contact with the terminal.
- Be sure the solar fixture is in a relatively sunny location.
- Make sure the light’s photocell is not affected by other light.
Caution
- Failure to insert batteries in the correct polarity, as indicated in the battery compartment, may
shorten the life of the batteries or cause them to explode or leak.
- Do not mix old and new batteries.
- Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon- zinc) or rechargeable (nickel cadmium) or
(nickel metal hydride) batteries.
- Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
Maintenance
Periodically clean light fixture with soft cloth and warm soapy water.
