6. Operating Instructions
Your ALUSSO flood light offers adjustable settings for optimal performance.
6.1. Color Temperature (CCT) Adjustment
A dip switch located on the back of the light fixture allows you to select the desired color temperature:
Image: 3 CCT options: Warm White (3000K), Natural White (4000K), and Daylight (6500K).
- WW (Warm White): 3000K
- NW (Natural White): 4000K

6.2. Operating Mode Selection
A dip switch on the back of the motion sensor unit allows you to select one of three operating modes:
Image: Three work modes of the ALUSSO flood light.
- D2D Mode (Dusk to Dawn): The light automatically turns on at sunset and turns off at sunrise. The motion sensor is inactive in this mode.
- AUTO Mode (Motion Mode): The light activates when motion is detected within its range. It turns off after a set duration if no further motion is detected.
- ON TIME Mode (Always On): The light is manually controlled via the wall switch. The motion sensor is disabled, and the light remains on until manually switched off.
6.3. Auto Mode Adjustments
When in AUTO Mode, three knobs on the bottom of the motion sensor allow for fine-tuning:

- LUX (Brightness Sensitivity): Adjusts the ambient light level at which the motion sensor becomes active. Turn towards the sun icon for day and night operation, or towards the moon icon for night-only operation (5-2000 LUX).
- SENS (Detection Range): Controls the sensitivity and detection distance of the motion sensor (1-40 ft).
- TIME (Duration): Sets how long the light remains on after motion is detected and no further motion is sensed (10 seconds to 10 minutes).

| Light does not turn on. | No power, incorrect wiring, mode setting. | Check circuit breaker. Verify wiring connections. Ensure correct operating mode is selected. |
| Motion sensor not detecting. | Incorrect SENS/LUX settings, obstructions. | Adjust SENS to maximum. Adjust LUX towards sun icon. Clear any obstructions from sensor's view. |
| Light stays on continuously. | TIME setting too long, continuous motion, D2D mode selected. | Adjust TIME to a shorter duration. Ensure no constant motion in detection zone. Switch to AUTO mode if D2D is not desired. |
