Setup and Installation
Before beginning installation, ensure the power supply is turned off at the main circuit breaker.
- Choose Mounting Location: Select a suitable location on a wall, ceiling, or ground where the light can provide optimal coverage. The 180° adjustable bracket allows for flexible positioning.
- Mark Drilling Points: Use the mounting bracket as a template to mark the drilling points on the chosen surface.
- Drill Holes: Drill holes at the marked points. Insert wall plugs if necessary for secure mounting.
- Mount the Bracket: Secure the mounting bracket to the surface using the provided robust nails/screws.
- Connect Wiring:
- Connect the Live wire (Brown) from the floodlight to your household Live wire.
- Connect the Neutral wire (Blue) from the floodlight to your household Neutral wire.
- Connect the Ground wire (Yellow/Green) from the floodlight to your household Ground wire.
Ensure all connections are tight and properly insulated with electrical tape or connectors.
- Attach Floodlight to Bracket: Secure the floodlight body to the mounted bracket.
- Adjust Angle: Adjust the angle of the floodlight and the motion sensor to your desired coverage area. The motion sensor can be rotated 180 degrees for optimal detection.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power to the circuit.
Operating Instructions
The Tailcas security light features a PIR motion sensor with three adjustable knobs to customize its operation:
- SENS (Sensitivity): Adjusts the motion detection distance. Turn the knob towards '+' for a longer detection range (up to 12 meters) or towards '-' for a shorter range (down to 3 meters).
- TIME (Lighting Duration): Controls how long the light stays on after motion is detected. Adjust from 5 seconds to 3 minutes.
- LUX (Day/Night Setting): Determines when the sensor activates.
- Turn towards the 'Sun' icon: The sensor will activate and the light will turn on both during the day and at night when motion is detected.
- Turn towards the 'Moon' icon: The sensor will only activate and the light will turn on at night (in low light conditions) when motion is detected.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your security light.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the light fixture and sensor lens with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure power is off before cleaning.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the power cable for any signs of damage, fraying, or wear. Check mounting screws for tightness.
- LEDs: The LEDs are integrated and not user-replaceable. If the light stops functioning, contact customer support.
- Sensor: Keep the sensor lens clear of obstructions (e.g., dirt, spiderwebs) to ensure accurate motion detection.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power supply; LUX setting too high (daylight); Faulty wiring. | Check power connection and circuit breaker. Adjust LUX setting towards 'Moon' icon. Verify wiring connections. |
| Light stays on constantly. | TIME setting too long; Continuous motion in detection area; LUX setting too low (always dark). | Adjust TIME setting to a shorter duration. Clear obstructions from detection area. Adjust LUX setting towards 'Sun' icon or to desired night-only operation. |
| Light turns on for no apparent reason. | SENS setting too high; Environmental factors (wind, small animals, heat sources). | Reduce SENS setting. Reposition the sensor to avoid detecting unwanted motion sources. |
| Light flickers or dims. | Unstable power supply; Loose wiring connection; Product defect. | Check power supply stability. Secure all wiring connections. If problem persists, contact customer support. |
