Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

To achieve best results for outside use, the

Sensor Light should be mounted on a wall of a

building, often replacing an existing light tting.

Ideally the Sensor Light should be mounted

2 metres (7ft) above the area to be scanned.

(Refer Fig. 1)

• The unit is suitable for permanent outdoor

installation

• To avoid damage to unit - do not aim the

sensor towards the sun.

• To avoid nuisance triggering, the sensor

should be directed away from heat sources

such as barbeques, air conditioners, other

outside lighting, moving cars and ue vents.

Do not aim towards reective surfaces such as

smooth white walls, swimming pools etc.

The Sensor Light scanning specications

(approximately 8 metres at 120°) (Refer Fig. 2)

may vary slightly depending on the mounting

height and location. The detection range of the

unit may also alter with temperature change.

Before selecting a place to install the Sensor

light you should note that movement across the

beam is more effective than directly toward or

away from the sensor (Refer Fig. 3).

THE SENSOR LIGHT muST BE

INSTALLED BY A LICENSED

ELECTRICIAN.

Your Sensor Light must be wired to its own

switch. Do not interconnect with other lights on

the same switch.

For installation/maintenance purposes the

electrical supply must be isolated at the

switchboard by removing the fuse or switching

the circuit breaker OFF. Simply isolating the

electrical supply at the wall switch is not

sufcient isolation to prevent an electrical shock.

STEp 1

Remove front trim and diffuser from lamp body

by undoing top screws. Position lamp body

against wall and mark by undoing the top

screw marking mounting screw positions.

Make allowance in positioning for the cable to

wire the light to enter through the cable entry

hole at the bottom left of the lamp body.

STEp 2

Drill the wall to take suitable mounting screws.

• Care should be taken to avoid drilling or

screwing into concealed electrical wiring.

• For solid brick we suggest that you use

screws and masonry plugs. Fix the mounting

bracket to the wall, leading the supply cable

through the cable entry of the mounting

bracket.

Your Sensor Light is now ready to be wired.

STEp 6

Insert light globe into tting (60 watt max.

ES globe - not supplied).

STEp 7

Ret diffuser and front trim. Ensure silicone

rubber gasket is correctly in place.

NOTE: It is advisable to use a separate

independent wall switch to ensure the simplest

operation of this unit.

In normal operation when rst switched on,

the unit will operate only in automatic mode.

The unit will not operate the lamp in daylight.

When dark, the light will be activated by

movement across the detection area.

• To switch off completely, switch the wall

switch to OFF.

This Sensor light has a built-in photoelectric cell

that automatically senses daylight and keeps

the light off during daylight hours.

NOTE:

1. This highly responsive unit may occasionally

activate due to rapid environment changes.

2. To avoid false triggering do not install this unit

near wiring of large appliances such as

air conditioners, refrigerators, uorescent

lights etc.

3. When rst switching on allow approximately

30 seconds warm up time for sensor

operation to settle to normal sensitivity.

During daylight hours, the unit can be ‘walk’

tested by turning the daylight level (“LUX”) control

fully clockwise. Test by switching the unit on and

walk slowly across the detection area.

Check that the light will remain on for a period

set by adjusting the timer, from approx 10 seconds

to 3 minutes depending on the setting after

the last movement in the sensing area occurs.

(Refer to adjusting the daylight level and

time delay)

First, switch off the mains power to the unit. If

unit has been operating, allow it to cool before

handling. Open the lamp by unscrewing the

fasteners on the front trim and diffuser, then

remove the diffuser and remove/replace bulb,

(use only 240 volt a.c. ES bulb 60 watt max),

ret diffuser. Compact uorescent bulbs may be

tted in this light.

For normal operation, the daylight level (“LUX”)

control is set to fully anti-clockwise. For walk

testing in daylight the LUX control is set fully

clockwise.

If you nd in normal operation that you would

like the light to come on sooner, adjust slightly

back from the full anti-clockwise position. See

gure 5 below. To adjust the time delay turn the

time adjusting arrow clockwise to increase the

delay and anti-clockwise to decrease the

delay. The time delay is from approximately

10 seconds to 3 minutes. It is recommended

to use shorter time delays.

Detection Range : 8 metres at 120° scan

approx.

Time On (xed) : 10 s to 3 min approx.

(This problem does not always occur

but a faulty switch or noisy uorescent

light may cause the Sensor Light to

switch on.)

Should the false triggering become

troublesome, consider:

(A) Replacing a faulty switch.

(B) Replacing noisy uorescent tubes

and/or starters.

one or more of the above suggestions

have been carried out, false triggering

6. On during daytime. Check daylight level (“LUX”) control is

fully anti-clockwise.

2. Time delay set too long. Turn time control anti-clockwise

To avoid dust build up and ensure proper functioning of the Sensor Light, wipe the sensor lens lightly

with a damp cloth every 3 months.

Care should be taken when cleaning to prevent scratching. A soft cloth or ne-hair brush should be

used together with a nonabrasive cleaner. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners on any part of

your Sensor Light.
