5. Setup and Installation
5.1 Mounting
The floodlight is designed for wall mounting. Choose a suitable location that provides the desired illumination and motion detection coverage. Ensure the mounting surface is stable and can support the weight of the fixture.
- Mark the drilling points on the wall using the mounting plate as a template.
- Drill holes and insert appropriate wall plugs.
- Secure the mounting plate to the wall with screws.
- Attach the floodlight fixture to the mounting plate.
5.2 Electrical Connection
Connect the floodlight to a 220-240 V / 50-60 Hz power supply. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated. Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about any steps.
5.3 Sensor Adjustment
The motion sensor has a 240° detection angle and a maximum range of 12 meters. The detection area can be customized using the supplied covers to mask out specific zones, preventing unwanted activations (e.g., from passing traffic).
- Detection Angle: The sensor can detect movement across a 240-degree field.
- Range Adjustment: Use the covers to precisely define the detection zone.

6. Operating Instructions
The Steinel LS 300 S allows for individual adjustment of several operating parameters:
- Spot Head Adjustment: The light head can be adjusted 40° horizontally and 150° vertically to direct the light precisely where needed.
- Lighting Duration: Set how long the light remains on after motion is detected. This can be adjusted from 10 seconds to 15 minutes.
- Twilight Setting: Adjust the ambient light level (2-1000 lx) at which the motion sensor becomes active. This ensures the light only turns on when it's dark enough.

- Do not attempt to replace the integrated LED light source. It is designed for the entire lifespan of the product.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power supply, incorrect wiring, twilight setting too high, sensor obstructed. | Check power connection and wiring. Adjust twilight setting. Clean sensor lens. |
| Light stays on continuously. | Continuous motion in detection area, incorrect duration setting. | Check detection area for constant movement. Adjust lighting duration. |
| Light turns on without apparent reason. | Detection area too wide, small animals, heat sources. | Reduce detection range using covers. Adjust sensor sensitivity if possible (refer to full manual). |
| Light flickers. | Unstable power supply, faulty wiring. | Check electrical connections. Consult an electrician. |
