External Sensor Floodlight i n s ta l l ati o n g uide
P lease read all instructions prior to installation and set-up. We recommend you keep this Guide for future reference. T his product may only be installed by a licensed electrician according to IEC wiring regulation. F or protected outdoor use only – the sensor must be adequately protected from the weather and may only be exposed to intermittent rain otherwise the unit may be damaged. T o avoid dust build-up and ensure proper functioning of the sensor light, wipe the sensor lens lightly with a damp cloth every 3 months. D o not attempt to open or modify the unit; there are no user serviceable parts.
Suitable for use under an eave or verandah, this motion activated twin sensor floodlight is ideal for driveways, entranceways, courtyards or other protected outdoor traffic areas where trips or falls could be a hazard. Unit can be installed to either a wall or ceiling with adequate shelter. With a 180° detection angle, to a 12 metre radius, the floodlights automatically turn on whenever movement is detected. Lights automatically turn off again after no movement is detected for a set period of time. Alternatively, the light can be manually operated via a mains power switch. Features adjustable settings for light sensitivity (controls the light level at which the sensor will switch on) and time delay (set light duration from 5 seconds to 3 minutes). Light can be set to operate only in low light conditions or throughout day and night. The sensor can also be adjusted 90° vertically.

6 Connect the power cable to the Terminal Block, ensuring the cable passes through the Grommet.
2 Unscrew the Fixing Cover Screws, then remove the cover and Cable Grommet.
7 Affix the back plate to the mounting surface with the Mounting Wall Screws (supplied).
3 Remove the Strain Relief and Terminal Block. 4 Use the plastic back plate to mark the position of the required screw holes onto mounting surface.
8 Re-fit the Terminal Block and Strain Relief. 9 Re-fit the cover.
5 Drill the wall to depth of about 40 mm and fit the wall plugs (supplied). Care should be taken to avoid drilling or screwing into concealed electrical wiring.
10 Insert the PAR38 bulbs, ensuring the sealing rubber (supplied) is placed on the lamp holder prior to installation of PAR38 lamp.

When adjusting lamp holders, ensure that the PAR38 lamps are not touching or in close proximity to sensor head: heat from the PAR38 lamps may distort the unit. 2
Choosing a Location Before selecting a place to install your Sensor Floodlight, note that movement across the scan area is more effective than movement directly toward or away from the sensor. If movement is made walking directly towards or away from the sensor and not across, the apparent detection range will be substantially reduced.
✘✘
Ideally the Sensor Floodlight should be mounted 1.8 to 2.5 metres (6 to 8 feet) above the area to be scanned. The scanning reach of the Sensor Floodlight is approximately 12 metres at 180° however this may vary slightly depending on the mounting height and location.

Always mount the Sensor Floodlight in a sheltered position (ie under the eaves of the house or under a verandah or awning). The sensor may be exposed to intermittent rain however the sensor must be protected from exposure to prolonged rain or direct sunlight to avoid damage.
Please note, the detection range of the unit may also alter with temperature change.

Set-up & adjustment Sensor position and sensor settings (time and lux controls) should be set at time of installation.
Lock
FYI: Duration
FYI: Lux (light sensitivity)
The length of time the light remains switched on after it is activated can be adjusted from 5 seconds to 3 minutes. Rotating the TIME control knob clockwise from ( + ) to ( – ) will reduce the duration time.
The Lux control module has an in-built sensing device (photocell) that detects daylight and darkness. Adjusting the LUX control knob will establish the level of light in which the floodlight will operate.
Sensor Sensor settings
The ☼ position denotes that the floodlights will work in both light and dark (during both day and night). The ☽ position denotes the floodlights will only work in darkness (at night).
Once the light has been triggered by the PIR sensor any subsequent detection will start the timed period again from the beginning.
Positioning the sensor
3 Have another person move across the centre of the area to be scanned and slowly adjust the angle of the sensor arm until the unit senses the presence of the moving person, causing the floodlights to switch on.
All lock nuts and screws on sensor and lamp holders must be loosened before making any adjustments to the position of the sensor. To avoid damage to unit, do not aim the sensor towards the sun. Also avoid aiming the sensor towards reflective surfaces such as smooth white walls or swimming pools.
Adjusting the settings 1 Adjust the TIME control knob to the required setting. With the dial rotated clockwise towards the – it will go ON for 5 seconds. With the dial rotated anticlockwise towards the + it will go ON for 3 minutes.
To avoid nuisance triggering, the sensor should be directed away from heat sources such as barbecues, air conditioners, other outside lighting, moving cars, flue vents or areas of strong electromagnetic disturbance
2 To set the floodlights to automatically switch “on” at night, turn the LUX control knob from ☼ to ☽. If the floodlights are required to switch on earlier (ie dusk), wait for the desired light level, then slowly turn the LUX control knob towards ☼ while someone walks across the centre of the detection area. When the floodlights switch on, release the LUX control knob. You may need to make further adjustments to achieve your ideal light level setting.
1 Turn the LUX control knob to light ☼ position and ensure that the TIME control knob is set at minimum ( – ). Turn power off at the wall switch and wait at least 30 seconds for the control circuit to stabilise. Within 60 seconds, the floodlights on the sensor light will now switch on and will remain on for about 30 seconds. 2 Direct the sensor toward the area to be scanned by adjusting the elbow joint and the swivel joint on the sensor arm.
To set the floodlights to automatically switch “on” both day and night, turn the LUX control knob to ☼. 4
Manual control In MANUAL MODE, the floodlights will remain on until power is turned off at the mains switch, and will not be affected by TIME or LUX level. When mains power is first switched on, the PIR detector enters into the “WARMUP” period for about 1 minute, then automatically changes into AUTO MODE. To change from AUTO MODE to MANUAL MODE, switch power off at the light switch for about 4 seconds, then switch back on. During MANUAL MODE or AUTO MODE, switching power off at the light switch for over 30 seconds will reset the PIR detector to WARM-UP period (after which the unit will automatically revert to AUTO MODE).
Troubleshooting Problem Light does not switch on when there is movement in the detection area Light switches on for no apparent reason False triggering
Light remains on
Possible cause No mains power Globes faulty or missing Nearby lighting is too bright Controls set incorrectly Sensor positioned in wrong direction
Suggested remedy Check all connections, and fuses/switches Check. Replace Redirect sensor or relocate the unit Readjust sensor angle or control knob Redirect sensor and/or adjust
