5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Motion Sensor Functionality
The hofstein Tieva wall light features an integrated motion sensor that automatically turns the light on when movement is detected within its range. The sensor has the following characteristics:
- Detection Angle: 105 degrees
- Detection Range: 2 to 8 meters (adjustable)
- Timer: 8 seconds to 8 minutes (adjustable)
The fixture does not include an adjustable day/night sensor, meaning it will activate upon motion detection regardless of ambient light levels, or it operates with a fixed light threshold.
5.2 Adjusting the Timer and Detection Range
The motion sensor typically has small adjustment dials located on its underside or side. Use a small screwdriver to carefully adjust the settings:
- TIME Dial: Rotate this dial to set how long the light remains on after motion is no longer detected. Settings range from approximately 8 seconds to 8 minutes.
- SENS (Sensitivity/Range) Dial: Rotate this dial to adjust the detection range of the sensor, from 2 meters up to 8 meters. Test different settings to find the optimal range for your installation area.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your fixture:
- Ensure the power is off before cleaning.
- Wipe the metal and glass surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish or glass.
- Regularly clean the motion sensor lens to ensure optimal performance.
6.2 Bulb Replacement
When the bulb needs replacing:
- Disconnect Power: Always turn off the power supply to the fixture at the main circuit breaker before attempting to replace the bulb.
- Allow to Cool: Allow the old bulb to cool completely before touching it.
- Remove Old Bulb: Carefully unscrew the old E27 bulb from the socket.
- Insert New Bulb: Screw in a new E27 base bulb. Ensure it does not exceed the maximum wattage of 60 Watts.
- Restore Power: Restore power to the fixture.
