  • Durable Design: IP44 waterproof rating for outdoor use in various weather conditions.

3. Operating Modes

The motion sensor offers four distinct operating modes, selectable via the 'SET MODE' knob:

  • Auto Mode (Motion Sensor): When motion is detected in darkness, the connected light will turn on. The light will remain on for a preselected time delay (1, 5, or 20 minutes) after the last detected motion, then turn off.
  • 3hrs/5hrs Countdown Mode: The light automatically turns on at night and stays on for either 3 or 5 hours. After the countdown, it transitions into Auto Mode, functioning only during nighttime hours.
  • Day-to-Dusk (D2D) Mode: The light automatically turns on at night and remains on until daytime, then turns off. This mode provides continuous illumination throughout the night.
  • Manual Override Mode: Allows for manual control of the light. When activated, the light will stay on for 8 hours continuously, then automatically turn off at dawn.

4. Adjustments

The sensor features three adjustable knobs for fine-tuning its operation:

  • SENSITIVITY Knob: Adjusts the detection range from 5 feet to 70 feet. Rotate the knob to increase or decrease the sensor's sensitivity to motion.
  • ON-TIME Knob: Sets the duration the light remains on after motion is detected. Options include 1 minute, 5 minutes, or 20 minutes. A 'Test' setting is also available for initial setup.
  • SET MODE Knob: Selects one of the four operating modes: Motion (Auto Mode), 3hrs, 5hrs, or D2D (Day-to-Dusk).

9. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your motion sensor, consider the following common solutions:

  • Light not turning on: Check power connections. Ensure the 'SET MODE' knob is not in 'D2D' during daytime or 'Manual Override' if expecting motion detection. Verify the 'SENSITIVITY' is set appropriately for the area.
  • Light staying on too long/short: Adjust the 'ON-TIME' knob to the desired duration (1, 5, or 20 minutes).
  • False triggers: Reduce the 'SENSITIVITY' setting. Ensure the sensor is not pointed at heat sources, reflective surfaces, or areas with constant movement (e.g., tree branches in wind).
  • Sensor not detecting motion: Increase the 'SENSITIVITY'. Ensure the sensor's view is not obstructed. Adjust the sensor head's angle to cover the desired area.
  • Light flickering: Check for loose wiring connections. Ensure the connected bulb's wattage does not exceed the sensor's load rating.

If problems persist after attempting these solutions, please contact customer support.
