INSTALLATION

Installation Advice:
Since motion detectors react to variations in temperature; avoid the following situations:

• Do not aim motion detectors at objects with highly-reflective surfaces, like swimming pools, mirrors,etc.
• Do not install motion detectors near heat sources such as heating outlets, air conditioning systems, dryer vents, lighting fixtures, etc.
• Do not aim the motion detector at objects that move in the wind, such as tree limbs or bushes,large plants, etc.

Mounting Location
This light fitting is rated to IP44, this means that it is suitable in areas that may receive light rainfall. Please ensure the desired location does not exceed the rating.
Recommended installation height is 1.8 – 3.0m above ground.

Special Note: Care and consideration should be taken when the unit is located close to property boundaries, to avoid unnecessary spill light or glare to neighbours, and to avoid unwanted activation from passing pedestrians or vehicles.
Pre-install

1. Gently pull the bottom tab (1) of the wall mounting plate (C) away from the light body (B). FIG. 1
2. Install 4 x Alkaline “D” 1.5V batteries (not included) into the battery compartment. Make sure the polarity (+ & -) of the batteries is correct as shown in the battery compartment. FIG. 2

OPTION 1 – WALL MOUNT

1. Remove the two rubber gaskets, and ensure the mounting plate is level & the UP arrow is correctly orientated, then mark hole locations.
2. If mounting to a wood surface, you can install the mounting screws through the mounting plate and into the wood. You can also drill 2 pilot holes into the wood with a 3mm drill bit and then install the screws. Reinstall the 2 rubber gaskets to keep the unit weatherproof.  FIG. 3 If mounting to wall board or brick, drill 2 pilot holes with a 6mm drill bit. Insert the wall plugs into the holes and attach the mounting plate to the wall with the screws. Reinstall the 2 rubber gaskets to keep the unit weatherproof. FIG. 3
3. Attach the light fixture to the mounting plate. FIG. 4
4. Press the unit on the bottom to the mounting plate. You should hear a “Click” sound. This indicates that the device is securely attached to the mounting plate. FIG. 5

OPTION 2 – EAVE MOUNT

1. Place the mounting plate against the ceiling. Mark the hole locations. Drill suitable holes and insert the wall plugs. Fix the mounting plate to the ceiling using the two mounting screws with a very long Phillips-head screwdriver. FIG. 3a
2. Attach the light fixture (B) to the mounting plate (C). Support the back-plate from behind with one hand and push the light onto the back-plate with the other hand. FIG. 4a
3. Press the unit on the bottom to the mounting plate. You should hear a “Click” sound. This indicates that the device is securely attached to the mounting plate. FIG. 5a

Control Settings
Operation Selector Switch

OFF
Select ‘0’ to completely switch off the device.
15s
This is the normal AUTOMATIC motion sensing mode. The light(s) will stay as long as unit detects motion. After the unit no longer senses motion, it will turn off after 15 seconds. Any re-triggering will extend the time for another 15 seconds.
XTEN
The light(s) will stay on at 100% brightness for 12 seconds and then drop to 20% for a further 48 seconds if no further motion is detected. If motion is detected again, the lights will go back up to 100% for 12 seconds and then drop to 20% for a further 48 seconds. Any re-triggering will extend the on time for the same period.
ECO
This is energy saving mode and can extend battery life by up to 30%. The light(s) will come on at 70% brightness and stay on as long as motion is detected. After the unit no longer senses motion, it will turn off after 15 seconds. Any re-triggering will extend the time for another 15 seconds.
DUSK LEARN

Your motion sensor light is factory preset to only work after dusk. For most people, this will be the best setting and you will not need to make any adjustments.
However, if desired, you can set your own “dusk” level; this will determine how dark it needs to be before the motion sensor works.
If you would like your sensor lights to come on at a different level of darkness, for example when it is a little lighter outside, then simply push the Dusk Learn button and it will remember the current light level and become active at this light level from now on. When you push the button, the light(s) will blink once to confirm the dusk level has been set. Default factory setting is 0~10 lux.
To return the default factory setting, press the Dusk Learn button twice within 2 seconds; the light(s) will blink twice to indicate that you have returned to default factory setting.
Lamp Head Adjustment
Each lamp head (A) can be tilted down by 40°and upward by 65°. It can be panned out 90° and panned in 20°. FIG. 6

OPERATION

Motion Detection Adjustment
The sensor detects 180°, providing wall to wall coverage. It can also be adjusted more to one side or the other if desired, by rotating the sensor (D). FIG. 7

Detection Range
The maximum detection range is approximately 10m in a 180° detection area. FIG. 8

Using The Diffuser Panel
If you want to reduce glare, attach a diffuser panel to each lamp head as shown below. To remove the diffuser panels (E), first hold the diffuser panel from the front. Next, gently lift the top of the diffuser panel from its back edge with your fingernail while gently pulling up and forward to remove the diffuser panel from the lamp head (A).

PIR LENS MASKING
The PIR lens mask supplied can be used when needed for restricting detection angles of the PIR (Fig 9). Removing the smallest centre segment provides a 20˚ detection area, while removing the largest centre segments provides maximum 140˚ angle. The mask clips into place. Remove one segment at a time, aim, and check in walk test mode. Continue removing segments until correct coverage is achieved. The purpose of the lens mask is to block out areas not desired for detection. Apply to PIR lens as required for your location.
