Pre-Installation

We strongly recommend that you read this manual carefully before installation. Installation MUST be carried out by a qualified and licensed electrician.

Before assembling the product, make sure all parts are present. Compare parts with package contents list and hardware contents. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to assemble the product.

Recommended installation height for optimum coverage

• Install the motion sensor 2 meters-3 meters above the ground. Motion sensors are less sensitive when installed below 2 meters or above 3 meters.
• The Sentinel Security Light features 3 fixed independent motion sensor zones. Each sensor zone is 70°degrees and the total sensor coverage area is 210°degrees The detection distance per zone is 12 meters

Install the fixture on a height between 2 meters-3 meters above ground

Note: Outdoor ambient temperatures could effect the infrared emissions to the fixture sensors and the detection distances. The heat signature of a person or object during spells of higher ambient temperatures could decrease the detection distances slightly and during cold temperatures the detection distance could increase.
