4.2 Mounting the LED Strip

The LED strip comes with strong double-sided tape for easy installation. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oil before applying. Peel off the backing tape first, then the double-sided tape, and firmly press the strip onto the desired surface.

4.3 Cutting and Connecting the LED Strip

The LED strip can be cut to your desired length. Look for the designated cut lines, typically marked every 5cm. Do not cut the copper points, as this will break the circuit and prevent the strip from lighting up. If you need to connect cut sections, ensure the positive (+) and negative (-) electrodes on the strip match the corresponding terminals on the connector clasp.

4.4 Motion Sensor Adjustment

The motion sensor switch allows for customization of time delay, LUX value, and sensor distance. To access the adjustment dials, open the back cover of the sensor. Use a small screwdriver to turn the dials:

  • Time Delay (2-280s): Clockwise to reduce delay, anti-clockwise to increase.
  • LUX Value (10-300lux): Clockwise to reduce light sensor value, anti-clockwise to increase.
  • Sensor Distance (10cm-7M): Clockwise to reduce distance, anti-clockwise to increase.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Motion Activated Mode

When the motion sensor is enabled and the ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position, the LED strip will automatically turn on when motion is detected within its range. The light will remain on for the set time delay and turn off if no further motion is detected. The PIR sensor switch typically works best in dark environments according to its default setting.

5.2 Manual ON/OFF Mode

You can manually control the LED strip using the integrated ON/OFF switch. Ensure the switch is in the 'ON' position for the motion sensor to function. If the ON/OFF switch is in the 'OFF' position, the motion sensor will not activate the lights.

6. Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the LED strip and sensor. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse in water.
  • Adhesive: Ensure the adhesive backing remains clean and dry for optimal adhesion. If re-applying, clean the surface thoroughly.
  • Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the kit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

7. Troubleshooting

  • Lights keep turning on and off rapidly: This is often due to a time delay setting that is too short. Adjust the time delay dial on the motion sensor to increase the duration the lights stay on after motion is detected.
  • LED strip not lighting up:
    1. Check all connections to ensure they are secure and correctly aligned (positive to positive, negative to negative).
    2. Verify that the ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position.
    3. If a section of the strip is not lighting up after cutting, the copper point might be broken. Try cutting at the next designated line and re-connecting.
  • Motion sensor not detecting movement:
    1. Ensure the motion sensor is not obstructed.
    2. Adjust the sensor distance and LUX sensitivity dials on the motion sensor. The sensor typically works best in darker environments.
