• Automatically comes on when motion is de-

tected.

• Automatically turns light oﬀ.

• Photocell keeps the light oﬀ during daylight

hours.

UNPACKING

Be sure to remove all contents from packaging and

verify all items are present before assembling this

light ﬁxture. is package includes the following

items:

REQUIREMENTS

• When installing, do not turn the light on before

the battery is charged. Charge the battery by

keeping the switch in the OFF position and the

solar collector pointed directly at the noon sun

for 2 sunny days. If not charged, the light will

not work.

• When FULLY charged, the solar light will operate

a maximum of 15 days without sunlight. Actual

operating time will vary depending upon how

frequently the light is triggered.

2. Mounting light on a solid, vertical surface

(wall) using two round-head screws.

• Determine mounting location. IMPORTANT:

Mount ﬁxture with the light above the sen-

sor.

• Open battery com-

partment door and

remove batteries and

tab. Note: Discard

plastic tab.

• Drill one 1/16" pi-

lot hole for keyhole

mounting screw and

insert screw. Note:

Leave approximately

1/8" (3 mm) of the

screw threads ex-

posed.

• Using the keyhole

on the back of the

light, temporarily

hang light ﬁxture on

screw.

3. Mounting light on a solid, horizontal surface

(eave) using two round-head screws.

• Determine mounting location. IMPORTANT:

Mount ﬁxture with the sensor facing the

detection zone.

• Follow the directions for vertical surface

mounting to complete installation. Note:

e light ﬁxture will not need to be leveled

for horizontal mounting.

INSTALLATION

For best performance, mount the ﬁxture about 8

feet (2.4 m) above the ground.

Note: Mounting ﬁxture higher than 8 ft. (2.4 m)

will reduce coverage distance.

1. Mount solar panel base on a solid surface using

three tapered screws. Adjust the panel to point

directly at the noon sun. Avoid obstructions

such as trees or buildings that may block sun

light. Allow for enough wire to reach the case.

Keep ball joint at bottom.

Note: You will want to re-aim the solar panel as

the seasons change to keep it pointed directly

at the noon sun.

Three Mounting Holes for Solar Panel Base

Mounting Holes (3)

• Level light ﬁxture.

• From inside the battery compartment, mark

location of second screw in the mounting

hole.

• Remove light and drill one 1/16" pilot hole

in second location.

• Hang light on keyhole screw and insert sec-

ond screw through mounting hole. Tighten

securely.

4. Plug the solar panel cable into the side of the

sensor housing. Note: Allow extra cable to hang

below the sensor housing for water to drip oﬀ

5. Install 3 Ni-Cd rechargeable AA batteries

(included) into battery compartment according

to markings.

Note: Rechargeable batteries will

eventually lose their ability to hold a charge.

When this happens, replace with Ni-Cd or

Ni-MH rechargeable AA batteries available

at most stores.

TEST AND ADJUSTMENT

Note: Sensor has a 30 second warm up period

before it will detect motion. When switching

modes wait 30 seconds.

1. Slide the sensor switch to the TEST position.

2. Place the RANGE adjustment in the medium

position (halfway between MIN and MAX

position).

Least Sensitive Most Sensitive

Sensor

Motion

Adjustment of Coverage Area

e sensor detects “motion” by the movement of

heat (body heat) across the coverage area. However,

following are examples of objects that also produce

heat and can cause the sensor to false trigger:

• Pools of Water • Air Conditioners

• Dryer Vents • Fenced-In Animals

• Heating Vents • Automobile Traﬃc

If you suspect that a heat source of this type is falsely

triggering the sensor, try reducing the RANGE

or aiming the sensor away from the heat source

in question.

Note: e detector is less sensitive to motion directly

towards it and more sensitive to across motion.

OPERATION

Place the sensor switch in the 1 or 5 minute mode

for normal operation. If the light is not needed, put

the switch in the OFF position.

Mode: On-Time Works: Day Night

Test 5 Seconds x x

Auto 1 or 5 Minutes x

THINGS TO REMEMBER

• Periodically clean the solar panel with a soft cloth

and warm water. Do not hose spray. Keep the col-

lector clear of snow and leaves. Make sure trees

and other objects do not block sunlight from the

panel.

• If not to be used for several weeks, turn the unit

OFF. Store it with the panel connected and where

the panel can gather sunlight.

• Solar collection is only eﬀective in direct sunlight.

Every hour the light is on requires a minimum of

8 hours of sunlight charging.

• Several days of use with overcast skies may dis-

charge the batteries. e light will not work until

the batteries are recharged.

3. Walk through the coverage area noting when

the lights turn on. Increase RANGE only as

needed. A larger RANGE setting may cause false

triggering and reduce battery life.

Note: Wait 5

to 10 seconds after light turns oﬀ to retest.

4. Replace battery compartment door.

5. After dark, adjust the light to cover desired

area.

animals or automobile traﬃc.

2. Range is set too high.

1. Reduce RANGE.

2. Reduce RANGE.

Light stays on continu

-

ously.

like an air vent, dryer vent, or brightly-

colored heat-reﬂective surface.

2. Light control is in TEST.

1. Relocate light or reduce RANGE.

2. Set control switch to 1 or 5 minute posi-

tion.

Light ﬂashes on and oﬀ. 1. Heat being reﬂected from other objects

may be aﬀecting the sensor.

2. Light control is in the TEST mode and

warming up.
