Operating Instructions
Motion Sensor Operation
The lantern features a 180-degree motion sensor with a 30 ft. detection range. It is designed to automatically turn on when motion is detected within its range during nighttime hours.
- Automatic On/Off: The built-in photocell detects ambient light levels. The light will automatically turn off at daybreak and remain off during daylight hours.
- Motion Activation: When it is dark, the light will activate for a set duration (typically adjustable, refer to specific product settings if available) upon detecting motion.
- Sensor Adjustment: The motion sensor sensitivity and duration settings may be adjustable. Consult the physical product for any dials or switches, usually located near the sensor itself.
Photocell Functionality
The integrated photocell ensures energy efficiency by preventing the light from operating during the day. It automatically turns the light off at daybreak and allows the motion sensor to become active at dusk.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the fixture, turn off the power and wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish or glass.
- Bulb Replacement: Ensure power is off before replacing the bulb. Allow the old bulb to cool before removal. Use only medium-base bulbs up to 100 watts.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the wiring and connections for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the fixture is securely mounted.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | No power; faulty bulb; photocell malfunction; sensor obstructed. | Check circuit breaker. Replace bulb. Ensure photocell is not obstructed by light. Verify sensor is clear. |
| Light stays on during the day. | Photocell obstructed or receiving insufficient light. | Ensure no objects are blocking the photocell. Relocate fixture if necessary to a brighter area. |
