5. Operating Instructions
This security light features both a motion sensor and a dusk-to-dawn sensor for automated operation.
5.1 Motion Sensor Functionality
- The integrated motion sensor detects movement up to 60 feet away.
- When motion is detected at night, the light will activate.
- The duration the light stays on after motion detection can be adjusted using the 'TIMER' dial on the sensor.
- The sensitivity of the motion sensor can be adjusted using the 'SENSITIVITY' dial to control the detection range.
5.2 Dusk-to-Dawn Functionality
- The built-in photocell sensor automatically turns the light on at dusk and off at dawn.
- This feature works in conjunction with the motion sensor, ensuring the light only activates when needed during nighttime hours.
- An 'Auto Dusk 'til Dawn override' feature is available, allowing the fixture to remain on continuously from dusk to dawn if desired. Consult the sensor control diagram for specific settings.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power; faulty wiring; sensor settings. | Check circuit breaker. Verify wiring connections. Adjust sensor 'SENSITIVITY' and 'TIMER' dials. Ensure it is dark enough for dusk-to-dawn sensor to activate. |
| Light stays on continuously. | Sensor in override mode; continuous motion detected; faulty sensor. | Check sensor settings for 'Auto Dusk 'til Dawn override'. Ensure no constant motion in detection zone. If problem persists, sensor may be faulty. |
| Motion sensor not detecting. | Incorrect sensitivity setting; obstruction; sensor malfunction. | Increase 'SENSITIVITY' setting. Clear any obstructions from the sensor's view. Ensure sensor is aimed correctly. |
| Light flickers. | Loose wiring; power fluctuations. | Turn off power and check all wiring connections for tightness. Consult an electrician if power fluctuations are suspected. |
