6. Operating Modes & Settings
The Olafus 75W Motion Sensor Outdoor Light offers two primary operating modes and adjustable settings for customization:
6.1 Mode Selection
Use the 'MODE' knob on the motion sensor to select your desired operating mode:
- TEST Mode: For initial setup and testing. The light will turn on for a short period (approx. 5-10 seconds) when motion is detected, regardless of ambient light.
- AUTO (Motion Sensor) Mode: The light will only activate when motion is detected in low-light conditions (dusk/night). The light will turn off after a set time if no further motion is detected.
- D2D (Dusk to Dawn) Mode: The light automatically turns on at night and stays on at 30% brightness. If motion is detected, it will switch to 100% brightness and return to 30% after motion ceases. It turns off automatically at dawn.
6.2 Adjustable Settings
The motion sensor features three adjustable knobs:
- MODE: Selects the operating mode (TEST, AUTO, D2D).
- TIME: Adjusts how long the light stays on after motion is detected (in AUTO mode) or after motion ceases (in D2D mode at 100% brightness). Adjustable from 10 seconds to 600 seconds (10 minutes).
- DIST (Distance): Controls the motion detection sensitivity and range. Adjustable from low (L: 13-26ft), medium (M: 26-49ft), to high (H: 49-72ft).

6.3 Operation Tips
- For optimal motion detection, ensure the sensor is not obstructed by objects or foliage.
- Avoid pointing the sensor towards heat sources or highly reflective surfaces, which can cause false triggers.
- Test the detection range and time settings after installation to fine-tune performance for your specific needs.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Olafus outdoor light.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the light fixture and motion sensor lens with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Regularly check the power cord for any signs of damage or wear. Ensure all mounting screws remain tight.
- Sensor Clearance: Keep the area around the motion sensor clear of any growing plants or objects that might obstruct its view or cause false triggers.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Olafus outdoor light, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power; Sensor settings incorrect; Faulty unit. | Check power outlet and connection. Adjust MODE, TIME, and DIST settings. Contact support if issue persists. |
| Light stays on constantly. | Sensor continuously triggered; D2D mode active; Sensor malfunction. | Check for constant motion or heat sources in sensor's range. Verify MODE setting. If in D2D, 30% brightness is normal. |
| Light flashes or flickers. | Unstable power supply; Loose connection; Environmental interference. | Ensure stable power. Check plug connection. Reduce interference from other devices. |
| Motion sensor not detecting. | Sensor obstructed; DIST setting too low; Incorrect mounting height. | Clear obstructions. Increase DIST setting. Ensure sensor is mounted at optimal height (approx. 7.2ft). |
