6. Operating Instructions

Once installed and powered on, the security flood light will operate based on its motion sensor and selected settings.

6.1 Initial Power-Up

Upon first power-up, the light may stay on for a short period (e.g., 30-60 seconds) as it calibrates. It will then enter normal motion-sensing mode.

6.2 Adjusting Settings

The motion sensor unit typically has two adjustable dials:

• TIME: Controls how long the light stays on after motion is detected. Options usually include 1, 5, or 10 minutes.
• SENS (Sensitivity): Adjusts the detection range of the motion sensor, from approximately 8 feet to 60 feet. Turn clockwise for higher sensitivity/longer range, counter-clockwise for lower sensitivity/shorter range.

6.3 Manual Override Mode

This fixture may feature a manual override function, allowing it to function as a switch-controlled light for constant illumination. To activate, quickly turn the light switch OFF then ON. The light should stay on continuously. To return to motion-sensing mode, quickly turn the light switch OFF then ON again. Refer to your specific user guide for exact instructions on activating and deactivating manual override.

6.4 Photocell Operation

The integrated photocell prevents the light from activating during daylight hours, conserving energy. The motion sensor will only become active when ambient light levels are low enough (e.g., at dusk or night).

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your security flood light.

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the fixture and motion sensor lens with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Bulb Replacement: Ensure power is OFF at the circuit breaker before replacing bulbs. Allow bulbs to cool completely before handling. Replace with E26 PAR38 bulbs, not exceeding 120W per socket.
• Inspection: Annually inspect wiring and connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
