Installation Steps

Turn off the power at fuse or circuit box

1. Unscrew the two bolt nuts (D), remove the two rubber pads (E) and the cross bar unit (A) from the backplate.

2. Attach the cross bar unit (A) to the outlet box by using two mounting screws (B). Adjust the length of the preinstalled headless screws if necessary.
   Note: Make sure that the headless screws are lined up horizontally to make the fixture level.

3. Pull out the source wires from the outlet box. Make wire connections using wire connectors (C) as follows:
   • Connect the hot wire (usually black insulation) from the fixture to the black wire from the power source.
   • Connect the neutral wire (usually white insulation) from the fixture to the white wire from the power source.
   • Attach the fixture ground wire (usually green insulation or bare wire) to the cross bar unit (A) with the green ground screw. Then, depending on local code, then connect it to the house ground wire with the wire connector  (C). Carefully put all of the wires back into the outlet box.

4. Attach the backplate of the fixture to the cross bar unit (A) by inserting headless screws into set holes on the backplate, then secure it with two rubber pads (E) and two bolt nuts (D).
   Note: With silicone caulk compound, caulk completely around where the backplate meets with the wall surface to prevent water from seeping into the outlet box.

5. Install the bulb (not included). Check relamping label at socket area or packaging for maximum wattage allowed.

Turn on the power at fuse or circuit box.

The Position of Control Panel

Step 1: Rotate the sensor lens from left side to right side to show the adjustable knobs and slide switch.
(See Fig.1)
Step 2: Adjust time, low level brightness and sensitivity by turning the knobs and choose the mode you want by sliding the switch.
(See Fig.2 and Fig A).
Step 3: Restore the sensor lens to original position by rotating the lens from the right side to the left.
(See Fig.3)

Function and Operation

MODES OF OPERATION
Choose a mode by sliding the slide switch. The light will turn on immediately when power is applied. Wait for 30 seconds to allow the sensor to warm up.

1. TEST MODE (daytime and nighttime operation.)
   • The light will turn to low-level brightness (0~50%).The light will turn to high-level brightness (full brightness) when motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion continues. The light will turn to the low-level brightness you set after 5 seconds when motion is no longer detected.

2. OFF MODE (nighttime operation only)
   • At dusk, the light stays off and will turn to high-level brightness (full brightness) when motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion continues. When the motion stops, the light will stay on for the predetermined time set (5 ~ 180 seconds), then the light will turn off automatically.

3. AUTO MODE (nighttime operation only)
   • At dusk, the light will turn to low-level brightness (0~50%). The light will turn to high-level brightness (full brightness) when motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion continues. When the motion stops, the light will remain on for the predetermined time set (5~180 seconds), and then turn to the low-level brightness you set.
   • The light will turn off automatically at dawn.

4. PC MODE (nighttime operation only)
   •  The light will turn on (full brightness) automatically at dusk and turn off automatically at dawn.

5. Manual Override MODE (nighttime operation only)
   • To shift to the manual override mode, set the switch to “OFF” or “AUTO” mode. Turn the wall switch “OFF” and then turn it “ON” within 3 seconds. The light will stay on through all night. To restore to the “OFF” or “AUTO”  mode, turn the wall switch “OFF” and then turn it “ON” within 3 seconds again. (See Fig.4)
   • The light will last for one night only and turn off automatically at dawn.

Note:

1. The low level brightness can be adjusted from 0 to 50% by rotating “LOW LEVEL” knob. (See Fig.5)
2. Always keep the wall switch in the “ON” position (including the daytime).
3. Please notice the warm up time is 30 seconds, any operations are invalid during this time.

Customization Options Shut-off Delay

1. The Shut-off delay is the length of time that the light will stay in high-level brightness after motion stops.
2. The Shut-off delay can be adjusted by using the “TIME” knob when the slide switch is set in “OFF” or “AUTO” mode.
3. The range of shut-off delay is 5 seconds to 3 minutes.
4. Rotate the knob clockwise for increasing the shut-off delay.
5. Rotate the knob counterclockwise for decreasing the shut-off delay.

Sensitivity of Motion Sensor

1. The sensitivity can be adjusted from 5 to 40 feet by using the “SENS” knob. (See Fig.5).
2. Turn the knob clockwise for increased sensitivity.
3. Turn the knob counterclockwise for decreased sensitivity.

NOTE:

1. The sensitivity of the motion sensor will increase as the environmental temperature gets colder. For best performance, gently clean the lens with a soft cloth every 1 or 2 months to ensure maximum sensitivity.
2. When installed at a height of 6.5 feet, at 77 degrees Fahrenheit the light will provide a maximum detection distance of 40 feet and detection range of 180 degrees. (See Fig.6 Fig.7)
3. The sensor will be more sensitive to motion across its detection path than motion directly towards it. (See Fig.8)
4. To reduce possible interferences, do not mount the fixture near a heat source like an air conditioner, vent or furnace exhaust, or in a direction facing any reflecting object or other light source.

Where you install your lantern is important:
Be sure the light is mounted straight on the wall;
otherwise, the detection distance may be limited. ![VAXCEL T0435 Motion Sensor Dusk to Dawn Outdoor Wall Light
