5. Operating Instructions
The Steinel L 585 S features adjustable settings for optimal performance.
5.1 Adjusting Detection Area
The 180° infrared motion detector has a maximum range of 10 meters. The detection area can be precisely adapted to local conditions:
- Vertical Pivoting Lens: The Fresnel lens can be pivoted vertically by 70° to fine-tune the detection angle.
- Detection Area Covers: Use the supplied covers to mask out specific segments of the detection area, preventing unwanted triggering (e.g., from passing traffic or pets).
5.2 Adjusting Time and Twilight Thresholds
The light-on time and twilight threshold are controlled by continuous rotary controls located on the unit:
- Time Setting: Adjusts how long the light remains on after motion is detected (typically 8 seconds to 35 minutes).
- Twilight Setting: Determines the ambient light level at which the sensor becomes active (ranging from 2 to 2000 lux). Set to a lower lux value for activation only in darker conditions, or a higher value for activation even in brighter conditions.
