Installation Steps
- Turn off the power at fuse or circuit box.
-
The fixture mounting bracket is pre-assembled on the light fixture. Unscrew both the decorative cover and the fixture mounting screw in order to remove the mounting bracket.
-
Install the mounting strap to the outlet box with the stamped word “FRONT” facing away from the outlet box, using two mounting screws that best fit the outlet box. Mounting bracket should sit flush against wall surface when secured.
(Choose one matching pair of suitable mounting screws from the 3 pairs provided). -
Pull out the source wires from the outlet box. Using a 1/8″ flat-head screwdriver connect the black wire from the outlet box to the “L” interface of the terminal station on the mounting bracket. Connect the white wire from the outlet box to the “N” interface of the terminal station on the mounting bracket. Connect the Ground wire from outlet box to “GND” interface of the terminal station on the mounting bracket. Carefully tuck the wires back into the outlet box.
-
Place mounting bracket against the outlet box, insert the mounting bracket screw through the mounting bracket hole, thread mounting bracket screw into the center hole of the mounting strap. Tighten the mounting bracket screw securely.
-
Attach the backplate of the light fixture to the mounting fixture mounting screw. Then push the decorative cover firmly into the fixture mounting screw hole on the light fixture. Tighten the fixture mounting screw securely.
-
With silicone caulking compound, caulk completely around where the back plate meets the wall surface.
CAUTION: Be sure to caulk completely where the back plate meets the wall surface to prevent water from seeping into the outlet box.
- Turn on the power at the main fuse or circuit breaker box.
Adjusting the Sensor Head:
-
Aim sensor head toward desired detection area, maintaining a 5° – 40° downward angle to allow moisture to drain.
Note: Make sure sensor head is positioned with control knob facing towards the ground. -
You can rotate the sensor head up and down to change the coverage area. (See Fig. 1)
Note: Range set too high may increase false triggering. (See Fig. 2 and Fig. 3)
Adjusting the Light Head:
- Gently grasp the light heads and tilt them up or down, left or right to adjust the light coverage area. Keep the light heads at least 1″ (25mm) away from the sensor.(See Fig. 4)
- Keep the light heads 30° below horizontal to avoid water damage and electrical shock.
Sensitivity of Motion Sensor
- You can adjust the sensitivity of the motion sensor by using the “SENS” selector located on the right side of the sensor head. (See Fig.5)
- Adjust motion sensor sensitivity to HIGH (H), MEDIUM (M), or LOW (L) to achieve desired performance.
- Approximate range for each setting: 70 ft. (H), 50 ft. (M), 30 ft. (L).
Modes of Motion Sensor
Choose a mode by rotating the switch on the bottom of the sensor of the
fixture. (See Fig.5)
Note: When power is first applied, the light will be on and warm up lasts 30 seconds.
-
TEST MODE (daytime and nighttime operation.)
- Slide the Time switch to the “Test” position.
- The light turns to high-level brightness (5000K) when motion is detected, and stays on as long as the motion continues. Then it reverts back to low-level brightness (0~50%) and CCT color (2200K-5000K) as per setting about 5 seconds after motion is no longer detected.
-
PC MODE (nighttime operation only)
- In “PC” mode, the light turns on at full brightness at dusk and remains on until dawn.
Note: You can adjust the CCT color (2200K~5000K by using the CCT color (2200K -5000) knob on the backplate. (See Fig.6)
- In “PC” mode, the light turns on at full brightness at dusk and remains on until dawn.
-
AUTO MODE (nighttime operation only)
- Select “AUTO” on mode switch, slide the Time switch to the desired shut- off delay time setting 30s/min/3min.
- At dusk, the light turns on to selected low level brightness (0~50%) and CCT (2200K ~ 5000K). When motion is detected, the light turns to full brightness (5000K) and stays on as long as motion continues.
- When the motion is no longer detected, the light will remain on at full brightness (5000K), for the predetermined time you set (30s/1min/3min), and then automatically switch back to selected low level brightness (0-50%) and CCT (2200K-5000K).
- At dawn, the light turns off automatically.
Note: You can adjust the low level brightness (0~50%) and CCT color (2200K-5000K) by using the low-level brightness (0~50%) knob and CCT color (2200K~5000K) knob on the backplate (See Fig.6)
-
3 HOURS (3H) MODE (nighttime operation only)
- Select “3H” on mode switch, slide the Time switch to the desired shut-off delay time setting (30s/1min/3min), select the Low Level brightness level (between 0~50%) and CCT (between 2200~5000K).
- At dusk, the light will turns on in early evening mode at full brightness (100%) and pre-selected CCT (2200K~5000K), and remain at those settings for 3 hours.
- After the 3 hours the light will transition to late night setting and initiate motion sensor operation. During late night setting, the light will transition to selected low level brightness (0~50%) and CCT (2200K~5000K) and brighten instantly whenever motion is detected. When motion is detected, the light turns to full brightness (100%) and stays on as long as motion continues. When motion is no longer detected, the light will remain on at full brightness (5000K) for the predetermined time you set (30s/1 min/3min), and then automatically switch back to selected low-level brightness (0~50%) and CCT (2200~5000K) settings.
- At dawn, the light turns off automatically.
Note: The low-level brightness and CCT color settings are adjustable by using the low-level brightness (0~50%) knob and CCT color (2200K~5000K) knob on the bottom portion of the backplate (See Fig.6)
-
CUSTOM MODE (nighttime operation only):
- Select “CUSTOM” on mode switch, slide the Time switch to the desired shut-off delay time setting (30s/1 min/3min), select the Low Level brightness level (between 0~50%) and CCT (between 2200~5000K).
- At dusk, the light will initially turn on in early evening setting, at full brightness and selected CCT (2200K ~ 5000K), and off at dawn automatically.
- To set a specific time for the light to transition into late night setting and initiate motion sensor operation you will utilize the wall switch to which the light is connected. During late night setting, the light will transition to selected low level setting (0~50% brightness) and CCT setting (2200~5000K) and brightens instantly to full brightness at 5000K whenever motion is detected.
- To set the specific transition time, turn the wall switch to “OFF” and back to “ON” two times within 3 seconds. The light will remember that time and go into late night setting/motion-sensor operation at that specified time every night.
- For example, a homeowner wants to have the light stay on at full brightness (2700K) from dusk to 8pm and would then like the light to go into late nighUmotion sensor mode from 8pm until dawn. To achieve this, the homeowner turn the wall switch “OFF” and “ON” twice within 3 seconds at 8pm. This sets the time the light goes into late nighU motion sensor mode every day at 8pm.
- When motion is detected, the light turns to full brightness (5000K) and stays on as long as motion continues. When motion is no longer detected, the light will remain on at full brightness (5000K) for the predetermined time you set (30s/1 min/3min), and then automatically switch back to selected low-level brightness (0~50%) and CCT (2200~5000K) settings.
- To revert the light back to Default, turn the wall switch “OFF” and then turn it back “ON” after 5 seconds.
Note: The default setting will be the same function as “PC Mode” if no specific transition time is set. You can also adjust the low-level brightness (0~50%) and CCT color (2200K~5000K) by using the low-level brightness (0~50%) knob and CCT color (2200K~5000K) knob on the bottom portion of the backplate (See Fig.6)
-
MANUAL OVERRIDE (nighttime operation only)
- To temporarily override the settings in “AUTO” or “3H” mode for on-demand continuous high-level brightness at night, turn the wall switch “OFF” and then “ON” twice within 3 seconds., The light will then remains on all night long.
- To shift back to “AUTO” or “3H” mode, turn the wall switch “OFF” and then “ON” twice within 3 seconds again. (See Fig.7)
- The light automatically turns off at dawn.
-
CCT COLOR SWITCHING
- CCT Color adjustable function apply to low-level brightness in Auto mode when no motion is detected, and during the start of 3H, PC, and Custom mode.
Note: To make sure the above functions operate properly, always keep the wall switch in the “ON” position (including the daytime).
- CCT Color adjustable function apply to low-level brightness in Auto mode when no motion is detected, and during the start of 3H, PC, and Custom mode.
Customization Options
Shut-off Delay
- The shut-off delay is the length of time the light will stay at brightness after motion has ceased to be detected.
- You can set the shut-off delay by rotating the delay time knob arrow so it points to the desired time setting within “TIME” range. To increase the shut-off delay, turn the knob clockwise. To decrease the shut-off delay, turn the knob counterclockwise.
Performance Notes
-
The sensitivity of the motion sensor will increase as the environmental temperature gets cooler. You may wish to make adjustments when the season changes.
For best performance, gently clean the lens with a soft cloth every 1 or 2 months to assure maximum sensitivity. -
For best performance, install fixture at least 8 feet above the ground. At such a height, the fixture will provide a detection distance of up to 70 feet at 77 degrees Fahrenheit. (See Fig.8)
-
The sensor detects movement across a detection range of 240 degrees. (See Fig.9)
-
The sensor will be more sensitive to motion across its detection path than motion directly towards it. (See Fig.10)
-
To reduce possible nuisances, 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.
Troubleshooting
- The light does not come on at all:
- Make sure the wall switch and circuit breaker are on.
- Make sure the wiring is correct.
- Cover the sensor with dark color cloth to verify that the ambient light level is not too high.
- The light comes on for no apparent reason
- Re-aim the motion sensor.
- Decrease the sensitivity setting.
- Do not use a dimmer or timer to control the light fixture. Replace the dimmer or timer with a standard on/off wall
- The light flashes on and off:
- Reposition the lamp heads away from the motion sensor.
- Reposition the motion sensor.
- The motion sensor is in “TEST” mode and warm up.
