Installation Instructions

• Connect the two pieces of the yard stake together by screwing Lower Stake  (C)into Upper Stake (B).
• Attach the assembled stake to the Connector Body (A) by screwing the top of Upper Stake (B) into the base of the Connector Body (A).
• Be sure to firmly tighten the assembled stake to the Connector Body (A) before installing into the ground.
• The connector body (A) shall be maintained at minimum of 6 inches above the ground.
• Plug the power cord into a GFCI receptacle. The power cord is a 6ft 14/3 SJTW cord.
  

Operating Instructions

• The power stake can be operated via the included remote control from up to 100 feet or manually via the buttons on the connector body (receiver)

Remote Control Operation

• Press the ON or OFF button to turn the receiver power on or off respectively.
• Press the Timer button plus the 2Hr, 4Hr, 6Hr or 8Hr button to turn on the receiver for a specified time. After that specified time, the receiver will turn off. This setting will be repeated daily.
• Press the Sensor button ( ) for dusk-to-dawn operation. This setting will turn on the receiver when sensing dusk and turn off the receiver at dawn.
• Press the Sensor button plus the 2Hr, 4Hr, 6Hr or 8Hr button to turn on the receiver for a specified time after sensing dusk. After that specified time, the receiver will turn off.

Remote Control Battery Information

• The RF (radio frequency) transmitter is powered by one 3V (CR2032) lithium battery (included with remote control).
• To replace the battery, remove the battery compartment cover away from the remote.
• Remove the old battery and place a new 3V (CR2032) lithium battery into the battery compartment.
• Install the new battery observing the positive (+) side up as indicated inside the battery compartment.
• Replace the battery compartment cover.
• Dispose or recycle spent/discharged batteries in compliance with all applicable laws. For detailed information, contact your local solid waste authority.
  

Manual Operation

• Press the timer control button (E) to turn on the receiver. The Power indicator (D) will be illuminated.
• Press the timer control button (E) until the Sensor indicator (D) is illuminated to activate the dusk-to-dawn setting. This setting will turn on the receiver when sensing dusk and turn off the receiver at dawn.
• Press the timer control button (E) until the Sensor indicator and the 2hr, 4hr, 6hr or 8hr indicator (D) are illuminated. This setting will turn on the receiver for a specified time after sensing dusk. After that specified time, the receiver will turn off.
• Press the timer control button (E) until the Timer indicator and the 2hr, 4hr, 6hr or 8hr indicator (D) are illuminated. The receiver will turn on immediately, then off after the specified time. This setting will repeat daily.
  

Operation Tips

• When set to ON, the receiver will provide continual power to all connected devices until the receiver is switched to OFF or switched to any of the other operating modes.
• In the sensor ( ) mode, temporary light sources like headlights, porch lights, streetlights and other external light sources will not interfere with the photocell function unless the external light source is on for more than 15 minutes. In that case, the receiver will shut off until darkness is restored. This function has been implemented to avoid flickering, or constant on/off for all connected devices.
• Once sensor ( ) mode activates at dusk in conjunction with the 2hr, 4hr, 6hr, or  8hr mode, the program cycle will complete before the timer resets. Headlights, porch lights, streetlights and other external light sources will not interfere with the active program.

Troubleshooting

• The receiver (connector body) doesn’t turn on – Make sure the AC power cord is securely plugged into an AC receptacle. Unplug the unit for a moment, and then plug it back in again. Check the receptacle by plugging in another device.
• The remote control doesn’t work – Make sure the battery is new. Make sure the transmitter and the receiver are set to the same channel. Stand closer to the receiver, the range should be up to 100 feet. Doors or walls will reduce the transmittance distance.
• In case of overloading, this product is equipped with a circuit breaker which will shut off all power. Eliminate the overload and then push to reset the circuit breaker for overload protection.
