Setup and Installation

  1. Battery Installation:

    Each MB852 unit requires 4 AA batteries (not included). To install, gently slide the unit out of its mounting bracket. Open the battery compartment, insert the batteries according to the polarity indicators (+/-), and close the compartment. Slide the unit back into its bracket.

  2. Choosing a Mounting Location:

    Select a location where the light can provide optimal illumination and where the motion sensor will effectively detect movement. Common locations include under cabinets, inside closets, pantries, or utility rooms.

  3. Mounting Options:

    The MB852 light can be installed using either the included double-sided tape or mounting screws.

    • Using Double-Sided Tape: Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Apply the tape firmly to the back of the light's mounting bracket, then press the light firmly onto the desired surface for at least 30 seconds.
    • Using Mounting Screws: Position the mounting bracket on the desired surface. Mark the screw holes. Drill pilot holes if necessary. Secure the bracket using the provided screws. Once the bracket is secure, slide the light unit onto the bracket.

Operating Instructions

The Mr. Beams MB852 light is designed for automatic operation, combining a motion sensor with a light sensor.

  • Automatic Activation: The light will only turn on when motion is detected and the ambient light conditions are dark enough. This conserves battery life by preventing activation in well-lit environments.
  • Auto Shut-Off: After motion ceases, the light will automatically turn off. The auto-shut off duration can typically be set to either 20 or 60 seconds, depending on the model's specific settings (refer to product packaging for exact switch location if available).
  • Motion Sensor Range: The motion sensor has a detection range suitable for indoor use. Ensure the sensor is not obstructed for optimal performance.

Maintenance

  • Battery Replacement: When the light output diminishes or the unit stops activating, it is time to replace the batteries. Each unit requires 4 AA batteries. To replace, slide the light unit out of its mounting bracket, open the battery compartment, replace all four batteries with new ones, ensuring correct polarity, and then reattach the unit to its bracket.
  • Cleaning: Wipe the light's surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water.
