- In "OFF" mode, slide the "TIME" switch to the desired time (30s/1min/3min). At dusk, the light stays off. The light turns to high-level brightness (5000K) when motion is detected, and stays on as long as motion continues. When the motion is no longer detected, it remains on for the predetermined shut-off delay time you set (30s/1min/3min), and then turns off automatically.
- The light turns off automatically at dawn.
- AUTO MODE (nighttime operation only)
- In "AUTO" mode, slide the "TIME" switch to the desired time setting (30s/1min/3min). At dusk, the light turns on to low-level brightness. When motion is detected, the light turns to high-level brightness (5000K) and stays on as long as motion continues. When the motion is no longer detected, the light at high-level brightness (5000K) remains on for the predetermined time you set (30s/1min/3min), then switches back to low-level brightness automatically.
- The light turns off automatically at dawn.
Note: You can adjust the low-level brightness color temperature (2700K/4000K/5000K) by using the "CCT" slider switch on the sensor head. (See Fig.5)
-
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 full brightness color temperature (2700K/4000K/5000K) by using the "CCT" slider switch on the sensor head. (See Fig.5)
5. 3 HOURS (3H) MODE (nighttime operation only)
- In "3H" mode, the light turns to high-level brightness at preselected color temperature (2700K/4000K/5000K) in dusk, and stays "ON" for 3 hours, then it turns to low-level brightness at preselected color temperature (2700K/4000K/5000K). It turns to high-level brightness (5000K) when motion is detected, and stays on as long as motion continues. When motion is no longer detected, it remains on for the predetermined shut-off delay time you set (30s/1min/3min), then returns to the predetermined low level brightness automatically.
- The light turns off automatically at dawn.
Note: You can adjust the CCT color (2700K/4000K/5000K) by using the "CCT" slider switch on the sensor head. (See Fig.5)
6. Manual Override (nighttime operation only)
- To temporarily override the settings in "OFF" or "AUTO" or "3H" mode for on-demand continuous high-level brightness at night, turn the wall switch "OFF" then turn it "ON" twice within 3 seconds, the light remains on all night long. To shift back to "OFF" or "AUTO" or "3H" mode, turn the wall switch "OFF" then turn it "ON" twice within 3 seconds again. (See Fig.6)
- The light turns off automatically at dawn.
Note: To make sure the above functions operate properly, always keep the wall switch in the "ON" position (including the daytime).
Customization Options:
Shut-off Delay
- The shut-off delay is the length of time the light will stay at brightness after motion is detected.
- You can set the shut-off delay by pushing the Time slider switch so it points to the desired time setting (30s/1min/3min).
Notes:
- The sensitivity of the motion sensor will increase as the environmental temperature gets cooler. For best performance, gently clean the lens with a soft cloth every 1 or 2 months to ensure 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.7)
-
The sensor detects movement across a detection range of 240 degrees. (See Fig.8)
- The sensor will be more sensitive to motion across its detection path than motion directly towards it. (See Fig.9)
- 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 reflective object or other nearby light source.
Please follow these steps to test the GFCI to work properly. (See Fig.10)
Step 1: Press the RESET button on the GFCI receptacle, the RESET button will stay in, the indicator light will illuminate in green and the power is on.
Step 2: Press the TEST button. The indicator light will turn off, the flow of electricity for the GFCI receptacle will shut off, the RESET button will pop out from its "ON" position.
Step 3: Press the RESET button to restore power, the GFCI receptacle will work properly.
