4.2 Wiring and Mounting Steps

1. Disconnect Power: Before starting, ensure the main power supply to the installation area is switched off at the circuit breaker.
2. Remove Back Plate: Carefully remove the back mounting plate from the light fixture.
3. Mark Drilling Points: Hold the back plate against the desired mounting surface and mark the drilling points.
4. Drill Holes: Drill holes at the marked points and insert the wall plugs (if required for your surface).
5. Route Cables: Pass the electrical cables through the designated external cable access point on the back plate.

6. Connect Wiring: Connect the live (L), neutral (N), and earth (E) wires from your mains supply to the corresponding terminals on the light fixture. Ensure connections are secure.
7. Secure Back Plate: Attach the back plate securely to the wall using the provided screws.
8. Attach Light Fixture: Mount the main light fixture onto the secured back plate, ensuring it clicks or screws into place firmly.
9. Restore Power: Once the installation is complete and secure, restore power at the circuit breaker.

5. Operating Instructions

The HOFTRONIC Bristol light features an integrated motion sensor and twilight switch for automatic operation.

5.1 Sensor Adjustments

The motion sensor has adjustable settings for time delay, twilight sensitivity, and detection distance. These controls are typically located on the sensor unit itself.

Figure 4: Sensor adjustment dials.

• TIME (Time Delay): This dial controls how long the light remains on after motion is detected and no further motion is sensed. It can typically be adjusted from 10 seconds to 15 minutes.
• LUX (Twilight Switch): This dial sets the ambient light level at which the sensor becomes active. For example, setting it to a low LUX value (e.g., 3 lux) means the light will only activate in very dark conditions, while a high LUX value (e.g., 2000 lux) means it will activate even in brighter conditions (daylight).
• SENS (Detection Distance): This dial adjusts the sensitivity of the motion sensor, controlling the maximum detection range. It can typically be adjusted from 5 meters to 10 meters.

5.2 Motion Detection

When the twilight switch detects sufficient darkness and the motion sensor detects movement within its adjustable range, the light will automatically turn on for the set time delay.

5.3 Adjustable Detection Angle

The sensor head can be physically adjusted to optimize the detection area, preventing unwanted activations or ensuring coverage of specific zones.

5.4 Linkable Motion Sensor

This light features a linkable motion sensor, allowing it to control other compatible lights in a synchronized manner. Consult a qualified electrician for multi-light setup.
