Setup and Installation
The Heathco HZ-5846-WH security light is designed for either wall mount or eave mount installation. Ensure the mounting location provides adequate coverage for the desired detection area and is within reach of the electrical supply.
Installation Steps:
- Power Disconnection: Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning installation.
- Mounting Location: Select a suitable wall or eave location. The fixture should be mounted at a height that allows for optimal motion detection and light coverage.
- Wiring: Connect the fixture's wires to the household wiring according to local electrical codes. Typically, this involves connecting the black wire to live, white wire to neutral, and green/bare copper wire to ground.
- Secure Fixture: Mount the fixture securely to the junction box or mounting surface using the provided hardware.
- Adjust Lamp Heads and Sensor: The lamp heads and motion sensor are tool-free adjustable. Position them to cover the desired area.
- Power Restoration: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power at the circuit breaker.
Operating Instructions
Your Heathco HZ-5846-WH security light features a 180-degree motion detection zone and adjustable settings for optimal performance.
Motion Sensor Adjustment:
- Range: The motion sensor can detect movement up to 40 feet. Adjust the sensor's angle to modify the detection range and area. Avoid pointing the sensor at heat sources or moving objects (e.g., trees, traffic) that could cause false triggers.
- On-Time: The light-on time can be adjusted up to 5 minutes. Use the control dial (if present, typically on the sensor unit) to set how long the light remains illuminated after motion is detected.
Manual Override:
This fixture includes a manual override function. To activate the manual override, quickly turn the light switch OFF then ON. The light will remain ON continuously. To return to motion-activated mode, quickly turn the light switch OFF then ON again. The light will then operate based on motion detection.
Maintenance
The Heathco HZ-5846-WH security light utilizes energy-saving LED technology, meaning you will never need to change a bulb.
- Cleaning: To maintain the appearance and performance of your fixture, periodically clean the lens and housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the fixture for any signs of damage or loose connections. If any issues are found, disconnect power and consult a qualified electrician.
Troubleshooting
If your security light is not functioning as expected, refer to the following common issues and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn ON. | No power; faulty wiring; sensor not detecting motion. | Check circuit breaker; verify wiring connections; adjust sensor angle and range. |
| Light stays ON continuously. | Manual override activated; constant motion in detection zone; faulty sensor. | Toggle power switch to reset manual override; reposition sensor; contact support if sensor is faulty. |
| Light turns ON/OFF frequently. | Sensor detecting unwanted motion (e.g., trees, traffic, animals). | Adjust sensor angle and sensitivity to exclude unwanted motion sources. |
| Detection range is poor. | Sensor obstructed or incorrectly aimed. | Clear obstructions; adjust sensor angle for optimal coverage. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, please contact customer support.
