Swann alpha series Wireless Motion Sensor 3-Head Spotlight with Remote Control
OVERVIEW
Spotlight
The ambient light sensor prevents the spotlight from automatically activating during the daytime to preserve battery life
Remote Control
Keeping the LED Light on continuously for prolonged periods of time will significantly shorten battery lifespan and reduce operating time.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Spotlight
The spotlight requires four D size batteries (not supplied). For reliable, long-lasting performance, use only high quality alkaline batteries. To install batteries (see Figure 1 ):
- Unscrew the battery compartment cover on the rear of the spotlight with a small Philips screwdriver and lift it off.
- Insert batteries according to the polarity markings (+ and -) indicated inside the battery compartment.
- Replace the battery compartment cover and screw it back into place with the previously removed screws.
Remote Control
WARNING! This product contains a button/coin cell battery. If the
button/coin cell battery is swallowed, it can cause internal chemical burns in
as little as two hours and lead to death. Dispose of used batteries
immediately. Keep new and used batteries away from children. If the battery
compartment does not close securely, stop using the product. If you think
batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body,
seek immediate medical attention.
Australia: If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed
inside any part of the body, immediately call the 24-hour Poisons Information
Centre on 13 11 26 for fast, expert advice and go straight to the nearest
hospital emergency room.
The remote control is powered by a CR2025 battery which comes pre-installed.
- To activate the battery, simply pull the plastic film out from the bottom of the remote control.
- To replace the battery, remove the locking screw on the back of the remote control using a small Phillips screwdriver, then push the tab on the left of the battery tray towards the right and pull out the battery tray from the remote control (see Figure 2). Place a new “CR2025” battery on the tray with the positive (+) side facing up. Insert the tray back into the remote control and secure with the locking screw.
USING THE REMOTE CONTROL
- Point the remote control in the direction of the spotlight to operate it. Ensure the distance is within 5 meters/16 ft and there is no obstruction between the remote control and the spotlight.
- If you have more than one spotlight unit in the vicinity, the remote control should be pointed, as close as possible, to the spotlight you want to operate. This will prevent other spotlights from receiving unwanted IR signals. IR signals emitted by the remote control may interfere with the operation of other nearby electronic devices.
- When pressing any button on the remote control, the spotlight will flash the Red Enforcer LED light once to confirm it has received the command.
- If you set both “Light on Motion” and “Enforcer on Motion” to , the spotlight will temporarily stop detecting motion for 1 hour. After 1 hour, the spotlight will revert to automatic mode (i.e., spotlight will activate when motion is detected). You can reenable the motion sensor at any time by pressing the “Light on Motion” button.
- If you want the spotlight to activate only the red and blue Enforcer lights when motion is detected, perform the steps below in the following order:
1. Press the “Light on Motion” button.
2. Press the “Enforcer on Motion” button.
3. Press the “Light on Motion” button.
PAIRING WITH THE INDOOR ALARM RECEIVER
You can pair the spotlight with your existing Indoor Alarm Receiver to get sound alerts when motion is detected.
- Turn the front cover of the spotlight counter-clockwise to the unlock position (see Figure 1 on previous page) so it is no longer powered. Leave the batteries inside the battery compartment.
- Decide which Sensor Channel (1, 2 or 3) you want to assign to the spotlight, then press and hold the desired Sensor Channel Number button on the side of the Indoor Alarm Receiver until the corresponding Sensor Channel LED indicator lights up and a beep is heard. The Indoor Alarm Receiver is now in pairing mode.
- Within 25 seconds, power up the spotlight by turning the front cover clockwise to the lock position to secure the battery compartment (see Figure 3 on previous page). The Sensor Channel melody sounds with the corresponding Sensor Channel LED indicator blinking on the Indoor Alarm Receiver to confirm successful pairing.
- If pairing is not completed within 25 seconds, the Sensor Channel LED indicator goes off and the Indoor Alarm Receiver is no longer in pairing mode. Repeat steps above to pair the spotlight again.
TIP: For more information on operating the Indoor Alarm Receiver such as adjusting the EN volume, refer to the instruction manual that came with your alarm system.
MOUNTING THE SPOTLIGHT
- The spotlight can be deployed outdoors, for example near the entry to your driveway or garage, or mount it near a likely access point such as the front door/ entrance to your home or business.
- For optimal coverage, mount the spotlight approximately 2 meters/6.5 ft above the ground, pointing slightly downwards at an angle where the most likely approach path of visitors and vehicles is across the front of the spotlight. Motion detection is less effective when movement is directly towards or away from the front of the spotlight (see Figure 3 ).
- You can adjust the detection range of the spotlight using the Motion Sensitivity – Low / Med / High buttons on the remote control. In general, the higher the Motion Sensitivity setting, the greater the possibility of false triggering. To reduce false triggering, choose a lower Motion Sensitivity setting.
To mount the spotlight:
- Attach the mounting plate to the mounting surface using the supplied screws (see Figure 4 ). If mounting on drywall/masonry, install wall anchors first.
- Align the slots on the rear of the spotlight with the tabs on the mounting bracket then press and slide down into the bracket until it locks into place.
- Adjust the angle and direction of the LED light panels as desired (see Figure 5 ).
