5. Installation

This flood light is designed for wall-mounted, hardwired installation. A junction box is required but not included.

5.1 Tools Required (Not Included)

• Screwdriver
• Wire Strippers
• Pliers
• Electrical Tape
• Caulking Gun and Weatherproof Sealant (recommended for outdoor sealing)

5.2 Installation Steps

1. Turn Off Power: Locate the circuit breaker controlling the light fixture's power supply and turn it OFF. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
2. Prepare Mounting Surface: Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound.
3. Attach Mounting Plate: Secure the mounting plate to the junction box using the provided mounting screws. Ensure the foam pad is placed between the mounting plate and the wall for a weather-tight seal.
4. Wire Connections:
   • Connect the black wire from the fixture to the black (live) wire from the junction box.
   • Connect the white wire from the fixture to the white (neutral) wire from the junction box.
   • Connect the green or bare copper ground wire from the fixture to the ground wire from the junction box.
   Secure all connections with wire nuts and electrical tape.
5. Mount Fixture: Carefully align the fixture with the mounting plate and secure it with the remaining mounting screws.
6. Seal: Apply weatherproof sealant around the edges of the fixture where it meets the mounting surface to prevent water intrusion.
7. Adjust Light Heads: Adjust the three light heads to cover the desired area.
8. Restore Power: Turn the power back ON at the circuit breaker.

6. Operating Modes

The light features a circular switch on the sensor for selecting different modes and adjusting sensitivity/time settings. The small circular switch on the sensor controls the night light ON/OFF function independently.

6.1 Mode Selection

• Test Mode: For initial setup and testing. The light will turn on for a short duration (e.g., 5-10 seconds) when motion is detected, regardless of ambient light.
• Security Mode: The main light turns on at 100% brightness when motion is detected in darkness and turns off after a set time (1, 3, or 10 minutes) if no further motion is detected.
• Dusk to Dawn Mode: The light automatically turns on at dusk and off at dawn. When motion is detected, the main light illuminates at 100% brightness, then returns to a lower brightness (e.g., 20%) after motion ceases.
• Manual Override Mode: Allows the light to stay on at 100% brightness for approximately 6 hours, regardless of day or night. This mode can typically be activated by quickly toggling the wall switch twice.

6.2 Sensitivity and Time Adjustment

Use the dials on the motion sensor to adjust the detection sensitivity and the duration the light stays on after motion is detected.

• Sensitivity (DISTANCE):
  • L (Low): 0-20 ft
  • M (Medium): 0-39 ft
  • H (High): 0-59 ft
• Time (TIME):
  • 1 MIN: Light stays on for 1 minute after last detected motion.
  • 3 MIN: Light stays on for 3 minutes after last detected motion.
  • 10 MIN: Light stays on for 10 minutes after last detected motion.

6.3 Night Light Control

The circular switch on the sensor allows independent control of the night light. In the ON position, the night light will activate at night and turn off during the daytime.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your outdoor light.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the fixture with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure power is off before cleaning.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the fixture for any signs of damage, loose wiring, or wear.
• Weather Resistance: The IP65 rating ensures protection against dust and water jets. However, avoid directing high-pressure water streams directly at the fixture.
