7. Installation Instructions
Tools Required: Drill, screwdriver, wire strippers, electrical tape, ladder (if mounting high).
- Choose Mounting Location: Select a suitable outdoor location that provides the desired illumination coverage and motion detection area. Ensure the surface is sturdy enough to support the floodlight.
- Disconnect Power: Before starting any electrical work, turn off the power at the main circuit breaker to avoid electric shock.
- Mount the Bracket: Use the provided mounting hardware to securely attach the floodlight's bracket to the chosen surface. The bracket allows for 180° adjustment.
- Wire Connection: Connect the floodlight's 1.5m power cable to your main power supply. Ensure correct wiring:
- Brown wire: Live (L)
- Blue wire: Neutral (N)
- Yellow/Green wire: Ground (E)
- Adjust Floodlight Angle: Loosen the screws on the side of the bracket to adjust the floodlight head to the desired angle. Tighten the screws once adjusted.
- Adjust Motion Sensor: The motion sensor can be rotated and tilted to optimize its detection area. Adjust it to cover the desired zone.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power at the circuit breaker.

8. Motion Sensor Settings
The motion sensor has three adjustable knobs: SENS, TIME, and LUX. These allow you to customize the floodlight's behavior.
Figure 5: Motion Sensor Adjustment Knobs. The knobs control sensitivity, duration, and light activation threshold.
- SENS (Sensitivity): Controls the detection distance of the motion sensor. Rotate clockwise to increase sensitivity (up to 12m), and counter-clockwise to decrease it (down to 3m).
- TIME (Time Duration): Sets how long the light remains on after motion is detected. Rotate clockwise to increase the duration (up to 3 minutes), and counter-clockwise to decrease it (down to 5 seconds).
- LUX (Ambient Light Sensor): Determines the ambient light level at which the sensor becomes active.
- Rotate towards the 'Sun' icon: The sensor will activate the light both during the day and at night when motion is detected.
- Rotate towards the 'Moon' icon: The sensor will only activate the light when motion is detected in low light conditions (at dusk or night).
9. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the floodlight's surface and the motion sensor lens with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure power is off before cleaning.
- Inspection: Regularly check the power cable for any signs of damage or wear. Inspect mounting hardware for tightness.
- No User-Serviceable Parts: The LED light source is integrated and not replaceable. Do not attempt to open or repair the floodlight, as this will void the warranty and may cause electrical hazards.
10. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power supply. Incorrect LUX setting. Faulty wiring. | Check circuit breaker and power connections. Adjust LUX setting towards 'Moon' for night operation or 'Sun' for 24h operation. Verify wiring connections are secure and correct. |
| Light stays on continuously. | Continuous motion detected. LUX setting too high (towards 'Sun'). Faulty sensor. | Adjust SENS to reduce detection range or reposition sensor. Adjust LUX setting towards 'Moon' for night-only operation. Contact customer support if sensor is faulty. |
| Light turns on for too short/long a time. | Incorrect TIME setting. | Adjust TIME knob to desired duration (5 seconds to 3 minutes). |
| Motion sensor is not detecting. | SENS setting too low. Obstruction in detection path. Sensor positioned incorrectly. | Increase SENS setting. Clear any obstructions. Reposition sensor for optimal coverage. |
