6.3 Manual Override

The manual override option allows the light to be stayed on constantly for a selected period of time, bypassing the motion sensor. Refer to the specific instructions provided with your unit for activating and deactivating this feature, as it typically involves a sequence of turning the power switch on and off.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Bulb Replacement

To replace bulbs:

1. Turn off power at the circuit breaker.
2. Allow bulbs to cool completely.
3. Carefully unscrew the old PAR38 bulbs.
4. Screw in new PAR38 bulbs (LED, incandescent, halogen, or dimmable CFL) of up to 150W each.
5. Restore power.

7.2 Cleaning

Clean the fixture and sensor lens periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or sensor functionality.

8. Troubleshooting

• Light does not turn on: Check power supply at the circuit breaker. Ensure bulbs are correctly installed and not burnt out. Verify sensor settings are not in 'TEST' mode or set to a very short duration.
• Light stays on constantly: Check if the manual override feature is activated. Ensure the timer setting is appropriate and not stuck.
• Sensor not detecting motion: Adjust the sensor's angle and range settings. Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the sensor's view. Clean the sensor lens if dirty.
• Light flickers: Check bulb connections. Ensure the correct bulb type and wattage are used.
