fosera SCANDLE User Manual Instructions fosera Solar Hand and Table Lamp SCANDLE Thank you for buying the fosera SCANDLE. This system has been developed carefully according to German engineering standards. If it is used in the designated way, it will supply electric light and other services for many years. The system uses most modern and long lasting Li-battery technology. The solar module is made out of crystalline silicon in well proven glass based encapsulation. The lamp is using long lasting LEDs with highest efficiency. The system is designed with an intelligent plug and play system. This does allow a self installation by the user: fosera SCANDLE can be used in parallel with our fosera PSHS systems. fig. 1: Possible use of the fosera SCANDLE Security advice The plastic case must be opened by trained and authorized persons. If the plastic case is opened by another person the warranty is lost. Make sure the plastic case is never damaged. All components of the system (except the solar module) are designed for indoor use. Protect these components from rain and direct exposure of sunlight. The battery contains a high amount of electrical energy. It is important that any short circuit is prevented. Any repair, change and addition of the electric system must be only done by authorized persons. Make sure the cables do not get damaged. If the cables are damaged, make sure that they get repaired and replaced. Don t use loads and appliances which are not designed and certified for the system. Use only fosera modules or the fosera PSHS system to charge the battery. Other modules or changes are not allowed. Use for parallel connection only the special fosera cable for paralleling systems. This special cable is limiting the current which flows between the systems. The SCANDLE and the appliances are designed to operate in a range of 0 to +50 C. Lower and higher temperature can reduce the capacity and lifespan of the battery.
Content fig. 2: fosera SCANDLE with solar module The package should contain the following components: Solar Module (A) fosera SCANDLE (B) Instructions SCANDLE Check carefully if all components are included. fosera solar module (A) fosera SCANDLE (B) Following additional components can be connected: fosera cellphone charger (use only at daytime and with SCANDLE 200) fosera radio Further fosera lamps Installation 1. Mount the SCANDLE on the wall. Use the drill template on the packing carton. Don t mount the plastic case on or close to burning material such as wood. 2. Mount the solar module on a sunny place outside. Make sure that the solar module is completely in the sun and not shaded. Even if the module is partly shaded it will bring none or a strongly reduced power output. The module should face in the northern hemisphere to the south and in the southern hemisphere the north. The tilt angle should be selected according to the location. The angle should be at least 20 degrees to make sure that the rain can wash dirt from the module. Make sure that the solar module is strongly fixed to be stable during strong storms. 3. Connect the module to the SCANDLE. Therefore plug the black jack into the yellow socket in the SCANDLE. The charge indicator LED will light up during daytime. 4. Place the lamp and the other appliances (e.g. radio) where you wish them to be. Make sure that the cable does not get too long. For cable extension use only fosera cables. The cable must be passed in a way that it can t be damaged. 5. Connect the cable of the radio or the other appliances (e.g. phone charger etc.) into the blue sockets of the plastic case.

The slide switch (fig. 3 5) allows to switch between 3 different states. The user can choose between the dim and the bright mode or turn the SCANDLE off. The blue connector (fig. 3 4) can be used to connect a fosera radio or another fosera appliance. Use only fosera appliances. fig. 4: Extended system PSHS fosera radio H - 399 LO FM/TV/AM/SW POTABLE ECEIVE T fosera solar module fosera PSHS fosera parallel cable fosera lamp fosera SCANDLE
Maintenance The power output of the solar module will remain constant if it is cleared from time to time. Keep the SCANDLE and the appliances clean. Make sure that no water harms the battery or the appliances. After many years of use the battery has to be replaced. This has to be done by an authorized service person.
