- Adjustable Extension Arm: Allows the sensor to extend below PAR 38 bulbs while maintaining 270-degree coverage, or can be retracted for a more compact appearance.
- SMART Setting: Learns user behaviors and adjusts settings automatically for optimized performance.
- ECO Setting: Minimizes energy consumption.
- Mounting Versatility: Designed for both eave and wall mounting.
Installation and Setup
Safety Precautions
- Always turn off power at the circuit breaker before beginning installation.
- Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about any part of the installation process.
- Ensure all wiring connections are secure and comply with local electrical codes.
Mounting Instructions
- Choose Location: Select a suitable location for mounting, either on an eave or a wall, ensuring optimal coverage for the desired area.
- Prepare Wiring: Route the electrical wires from the fixture to the sensor's connection points. The sensor is designed for corded electric power.
- Connect Wires: Connect the sensor's wires to the fixture's wiring according to the provided wiring diagram (refer to the diagram usually included with the product packaging).
- Secure Sensor: Securely attach the sensor to the mounting surface using appropriate hardware.
- Adjust Arm: Adjust the extension arm as needed to position the sensor head for optimal detection, especially if using PAR 38 bulbs.
Operating Instructions
Initial Power-Up
After installation, restore power at the circuit breaker. The sensor may undergo a brief calibration period.
Setting Modes
- SMART Setting: Activates an adaptive mode where the sensor learns and adjusts its sensitivity and timing based on detected patterns.
- ECO Setting: Engages an energy-saving mode, optimizing power consumption while maintaining essential functionality.
- Hi-Lo Feature: Can be configured to provide low-level accent lighting during specific periods (dusk to dawn or timed). Refer to the product's physical controls or specific instructions for adjusting this feature.
Adjusting Sensitivity and Time
The sensor typically includes controls for adjusting motion sensitivity and the duration the light remains on after motion ceases. These controls are usually dials or switches located on the sensor body. Experiment with settings to find the optimal performance for your environment.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the sensor lens with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the sensor and its wiring for any signs of damage or wear.
- Environmental Factors: Ensure the sensor is not obstructed by growing foliage or new structures that could interfere with its detection range.
