6. Operation
The motion sensor flood light features adjustable settings for time duration, sensing distance, and light sensitivity (LUX).
6.1 Sensor Adjustments
Locate the three adjustment dials on the bottom of the sensor head:
- TIME: Adjusts how long the light stays on after motion is detected (typically 10 seconds to 7 minutes).
- SENS (Sensitivity): Adjusts the motion detection range (from approximately 16.4 ft to 72 ft).
- LUX (Light Sensitivity): Determines the ambient light level at which the sensor activates. Set to 'Sun' for 24-hour operation or 'Moon' for night-only operation.

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your flood light, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power, incorrect wiring, LUX setting too high (daylight). | Check circuit breaker. Verify wiring connections. Adjust LUX setting to 'Moon' for night operation. |
| Light stays on continuously. | Continuous motion detected, TIME setting too long, LUX setting on 'Sun'. | Check for constant motion in detection area. Adjust TIME setting. Set LUX to 'Moon'. |
| Light flashes on and off. | Intermittent motion, power fluctuations. | Clear detection area of small moving objects. Check power supply stability. |
| Detection range is too short/long. | SENS setting incorrect, obstructions. | Adjust SENS dial. Ensure no obstructions block the sensor's view. |
