5. Operating Instructions
The Balic Sensor 50 features dual sensor technology for convenient control:

Sensor Modes:
- Motion Sensor (M) with Dim Function: This mode is activated by a switch on the housing. In this mode, the light turns on or off with a simple hand movement near the sensor. To dim the light, hold your hand steadily near the sensor until the desired brightness is reached.
- Distance Sensor (D): This mode is also activated by a switch on the housing. In this mode, the light reacts to objects approaching or moving away from the sensor. This is ideal for applications like drawers or cabinet doors, where the light turns on when opened and off when closed.
Switching Sensor Functions:
A switch located on the housing allows you to toggle between the Motion Sensor (M) and Distance Sensor (D) functions. Refer to the diagram above for the switch location.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Balic Sensor 50, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power supply; Sensor obstructed or dirty; Incorrect sensor mode. | Check power connection; Clean sensor area; Ensure correct sensor mode (M or D) is selected. |
| Sensor is not responding. | Sensor obstructed or dirty; Ambient light too strong; Incorrect sensor mode. | Clean sensor area; Test in different lighting conditions; Verify sensor mode. |
| Dimming function not working. | Not in Motion Sensor (M) mode; Hand not held steadily. | Switch to Motion Sensor (M) mode; Hold hand steadily near the sensor for a few seconds. |
| Light turns on/off unexpectedly. | Distance Sensor (D) mode active and detecting nearby objects; Sensor interference. | If in Distance Sensor (D) mode, ensure no objects are constantly moving near it. Consider switching to Motion Sensor (M) mode if this behavior is undesirable for your application. One user noted that taping the distance sensor allowed for external on/off control, suggesting it can be sensitive. |
