6. Operating Instructions
The treewell Motion Sensor Outdoor Light Fixture offers three distinct operating modes and adjustable settings. The control dials and mode switch are located on the top of the fixture, protected from elements.
Figure 2: Motion Sensor Control Panel. A detailed view of the advanced adjustable PIR motion sensor located on the treewell outdoor light. The image highlights the control dials for 'Low Level' (20%-50% brightness in Auto+ Mode), 'Time' (20s-180s adjustable), and 'Sens' (10ft-40ft adjustable sensing range). A switch for selecting 'PC', 'Auto', or 'Auto+' modes is also visible.
6.1. Selecting Lighting Modes
Use the mode switch on the sensor control panel to select one of the following modes:
- PC Mode (Dusk to Dawn):
- The light automatically turns off during the daytime and turns on at night.
- No motion detection is active in this mode; the light remains on continuously throughout the night.
Figure 3: PC Mode Operation. This diagram explains the 'PC Mode' (Dusk to Dawn) functionality. It shows the light fixture automatically turning off during daylight hours and turning on at night, providing continuous illumination from dusk till dawn.
- Auto Mode:
- The light remains off at night until motion is detected.
- Upon motion detection, the light turns on at 100% brightness.
- After the adjustable lighting time (20s-180s) without further motion, the light turns off.
- Auto+ Mode:
- The light automatically turns on at a dim brightness (20%-50%, adjustable) at night.
- When motion is detected, the light switches to 100% brightness.
- After the adjustable lighting time (20s-180s) without further motion, the light returns to its dim brightness.
Figure 4: Auto and Auto+ Mode Operation. This visual guide demonstrates the 'Auto Mode' and 'Auto+ Mode'. In Auto Mode, the light is off at night until motion is detected, then illuminates at 100% brightness before turning off. In Auto+ Mode, the light stays at a dim brightness (20-50%) at night, switches to 100% upon motion detection, and returns to dim after a set time.
6.2. Adjusting Time and Sensitivity
The sensor features three adjustable dials:
- Low Level (Only for Auto+ Mode): Adjusts the dim brightness level from 20% to 50% when no motion is detected at night.
- Time: Sets the duration the light stays on at 100% brightness after motion is detected. Adjustable from 20 seconds to 180 seconds.
- Sens (Sensitivity): Controls the motion detection range. Adjustable from 10 feet to 40 feet. The detection angle is 140 degrees.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your outdoor light fixture.
- Cleaning:
- Turn off power before cleaning.
- Wipe the fixture with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or glass.
- Clean the motion sensor lens periodically to ensure proper operation.
- Bulb Replacement:
- Turn off power before replacing the bulb.
- Allow the bulb to cool completely before touching it.
- Unscrew the old bulb and replace it with a new E26 base LED bulb, not exceeding 60 watts.
- Inspection: Periodically check for any loose wiring, damaged glass, or signs of wear. Address any issues promptly.

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your light fixture, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night (PC Mode) | Power off; faulty bulb; sensor obstructed or dirty. | Check circuit breaker; replace bulb; clean sensor lens. |
| Light does not turn on with motion (Auto/Auto+ Mode) | Sensitivity (Sens) setting too low; sensor obstructed; light source nearby interfering. | Increase 'Sens' setting; clear obstructions; ensure no other light source is directly affecting the sensor. |
| Light stays on continuously or turns off too quickly | Time setting incorrect; constant motion in detection zone; sensor malfunction. | Adjust 'Time' setting; reposition fixture or reduce 'Sens' if unwanted motion is detected; contact support if sensor is faulty. |
| Dim light not working in Auto+ Mode | Low Level setting too low or off. | Adjust 'Low Level' dial to desired brightness (20%-50%). |
If these solutions do not resolve the issue, please contact treewell customer support.
