- Choose Location: Select a suitable outdoor location, such as an entrance, patio, or garden area, ensuring the desired detection range and angle can be achieved. Avoid placing near heat sources or objects that might cause false triggers.
- Prepare Wiring: Turn off the main power supply at the circuit breaker. Run appropriate electrical wiring to the chosen installation point.
- Mounting: Securely attach the floodlight to the wall or mounting surface using appropriate screws and anchors. Ensure the mounting is stable and can support the weight of the unit.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the electrical wires (Live, Neutral, Earth) to the corresponding terminals inside the floodlight's wiring compartment. Ensure all connections are tight and properly insulated.
- Seal Connections: Ensure all cable entries and the wiring compartment cover are properly sealed to maintain the IP55 weather protection.
- Adjust Floodlight Angle: Once mounted, adjust the LED panels to direct the light beam as desired. The panels can pivot 30° backward and 60° downward.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power at the circuit breaker.

5. Operation and Settings
The theLeda 1020943 offers various adjustable settings to customize its operation:
- Accessing Controls: The adjustment controls are located under the front panel of the floodlight. Carefully open the panel to access them.
- Time Duration: Adjust the length of time the light remains on after motion is detected.
- Light Sensitivity (Lux): Set the ambient light level at which the motion detector becomes active. This prevents the light from turning on during daylight hours.
- Detection Range: Fine-tune the motion sensor's detection range to suit your specific area.
- Master/Slave Function: If multiple units are installed, configure them for synchronized operation using the Master function. Refer to the detailed wiring diagram for multi-unit setup.
- Remote Control (Optional): For convenient adjustment, the Theben theSenda S or theSenda P remote controls (not included) can be used. Refer to the remote control's manual for pairing and operation instructions.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your theLeda 1020943 floodlight, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power supply; Lux setting too high; Motion sensor obstructed or faulty. | Check power connection and circuit breaker; Adjust Lux setting; Clear obstructions from sensor; Test sensor functionality. |
| Light stays on continuously. | Time duration setting too long; Constant motion in detection area; Faulty sensor. | Adjust time duration setting; Reduce detection range or reposition; Contact support if sensor is faulty. |
| Light turns on without apparent motion. | Detection area too wide; Environmental factors (e.g., moving branches, small animals, heat sources). | Adjust detection range; Reposition floodlight to avoid false triggers; Use masking clips if available. |
| Detection range is too short. | Incorrect mounting height; Obstructions; Sensitivity setting too low. | Verify mounting height as per instructions; Remove obstructions; Increase sensitivity setting. |
