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 (B) away from the light body (A). FIG. 1
  2. Install 3 x Alkaline “C” 1.5V batteries (not included) into the battery compartment. Make sure the polarity  (+ & -) of the batteries is correct as shown in thebattery compartment. FIG. 2

WALL MOUNT

OPTION 1 – WALL MOUNT

  1. To attach light fixture to the mounting plate, tilt the top of the light body (A) slightly downward in the back, and align the top edge of the back of the light, over the tabs on the top of the mounting plate (B). Now gently push the light onto the mounting plate until you hear a “Click” sound. This indicates that the device is securely attached to the mounting plate. FIG. 3
  2. Place the mounting plate (B) against the wall. Ensure the mounting plate (B) is flush against the surface. Mark the hole location. FIG. 4
  3. If mounting to a wood surface, you can install the mounting screw through the mounting plate and into the wood. You can also drill 1 pilot hole into the wood with a 3mm drill bit and then install the screw. FIG. 4 If mounting to wall board or brick, drill 1 pilot hole with a 6mm drill bit. Insert the wall plug into the hole and attach the mounting plate to the wall with the screw. FIG. 4

OPTION 2 – EAVE MOUNT

  1. Place the mounting plate (B) against the ceiling or eave (see illustration). Ensure the mounting plate (B) is flush against the surface. Mark the hole location. FIG. 4a

OPERATION

Adjusting The Light
The ball and socket joint (2) allows the light to move in a variety of positions. The motion sensor gets 110° of coverage. Think about the area you want the motion sensor (D) to cover and ensure the sensor is facing this area. Gently grasp the lamp head (C),slightly tilt it in the desired direction. FIG. 5

Motion Sensor Activation
This motion sensor light works in automatic mode. The light 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.

Detection Range
The maximum detection range is approximately 6m in a 110° detection area. FIG. 6
