5.2 Wiring
The fixture requires hardwired installation. Follow these steps for safe wiring:
- Prepare Mounting Plate: Secure the metal mounting ring to your electrical box. Ensure the center nipple faces the desired lighting area.
- Route Wires: Pull the house's black (Live) and white (Neutral) wires through the top-left opening of the mounting ring. Pull the house's green (Ground) wire through the right side.
- Ground Connection: Attach the house's green wire to the green screw on the fixture's base, wrapping it clockwise. Then, wrap the fixture's green wire clockwise around the same screw. Tighten the green screw securely. This connection can temporarily support the fixture during further wiring.
- Live Connection: Twist the fixture's black wire and the house's black wire together clockwise. Insert both into a wire nut and twist the nut clockwise until snug. Ensure no bare wire is exposed.
- Neutral Connection: Repeat the process for the white (Neutral) wires, twisting them together and securing with a wire nut.
- Tuck Wires: Carefully push all wired connections and wire nuts into the electrical box, ensuring no wires are pinched.
- Secure Fixture: Align the fixture's base with the mounting ring. Insert the long screw through the center of the fixture's base and thread it into the nipple on the mounting ring. Gently tighten the screw until the fixture is secure against the mounting surface. Do not overtighten.

5.3 Adjusting Light Heads
The three light heads are adjustable to direct illumination where needed. Loosen the screws on the side elbows of each arm to adjust the angle, then tighten securely once the desired position is achieved. The motion sensor itself can also be angled.

6. Operating Instructions
The motion sensor has three adjustable dials to customize its operation:
- LUX (Light Sensitivity): Controls the ambient light level at which the sensor activates.
- "+" setting: Lights will be triggered at both day and night.
- "-" setting: Lights will only be triggered at night (when it's dark enough).
- TIME (Duration): Adjusts how long the light stays on after motion is detected, ranging from 10 seconds to 7 minutes.
- SENS (Motion Sensitivity/Distance): Controls the detection range of the motion sensor, from approximately 16.4 feet to 72.2 feet.
To adjust these settings, rotate the corresponding dials on the bottom of the motion sensor. Start with all dials in the middle position and adjust incrementally to achieve desired performance. Small adjustments can lead to significant changes.

- Cleaning: Clean the fixture and motion sensor lens periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically check for any loose wiring connections or damage to the fixture. Address any issues promptly.
- Environmental Factors: While IP65 rated, extreme weather conditions may affect performance. Ensure the fixture is clear of debris, snow, or ice that could obstruct the sensor or light output.
