4. Operating Instructions
The motion sensor light features adjustable settings for sensitivity and illumination time. These controls are typically located on the underside of the sensor unit.
4.1. Adjusting Sensitivity (Distance)
Use the 'DISTANCE' or 'SENSITIVITY' dial/switch to set the detection range:
- L (Low): Up to 20-30 ft.
- M (Medium): Up to 40-50 ft.
- H (High): Up to 60-70 ft.
4.2. Adjusting Illumination Time
Use the 'TIME' dial/switch to set how long the light remains on after motion is detected:
- TEST: For initial setup and testing.
- 1 MIN: Light stays on for 1 minute.
- 3 MIN: Light stays on for 3 minutes.
- 10 MIN: Light stays on for 10 minutes.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your floodlight.
5.1. Cleaning
Periodically clean the sensor lens and light heads with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch surfaces or damage the sensor.
5.2. Bulb Replacement
This fixture allows for bulb replacement. Ensure power is off before replacing bulbs. Use only PAR38 type bulbs, including LED, halogen, incandescent, or dimmable CFL, as specified by the product. Refer to Figure 4 for visual guidance on bulb installation.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your motion sensor light, consider the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | Incorrect sensor setting, power issue, or faulty bulb. | Check power supply. Ensure sensor is not set to 'TEST' mode. Verify bulbs are correctly installed and functional. Adjust sensitivity. |
| Light stays on continuously. | Continuous motion detected, manual override activated, or sensor malfunction. | Check for obstructions in the sensor's field of view. Deactivate manual override if engaged. Adjust sensitivity to reduce false triggers. |
| Light turns on too frequently. | High sensitivity setting or environmental factors. | Reduce the sensitivity setting (e.g., from 'H' to 'M' or 'L'). Ensure the sensor is not pointing towards heat sources or moving objects like trees. |
| Light turns off too quickly. | Short illumination time setting. | Increase the 'TIME' setting (e.g., from '1 MIN' to '3 MIN' or '10 MIN'). |
