5. Setup and Adjustments

The flood light features adjustable settings for the motion sensor and timer.

5.1 Adjusting the Sensor and Timer

The sensor unit has two adjustable dials located on its underside:

  • TIMER Dial: Controls how long the light stays on after motion is detected. Options include 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or Dusk-to-Dawn (D2D).
  • SENSITIVITY Dial: Adjusts the motion detection range. Options include 10 ft, 20 ft, 50 ft, or MAX (up to 70 ft).

To adjust, gently rotate the dials to your desired setting. The 'Test' mode on the TIMER dial allows for quick testing of motion detection during daylight hours.

5.2 Adjusting Light Head and Sensor Position

The light head and motion sensor can be adjusted to cover specific areas:

  • The light head can be tilted up to 180° vertically.
  • The arm connecting the sensor to the base can tilt 90° vertically.
  • The motion sensor itself can tilt 180° vertically and swivel 180° horizontally, with a full 360° rotation capability.

6. Operating Instructions

Once installed and configured, the Maxxima LED Outdoor Flood Wall Light operates automatically based on its sensor settings.

  • Dusk-to-Dawn Mode (D2D): When the TIMER dial is set to D2D, the light will automatically turn on at dusk and remain on until dawn, regardless of motion.
  • Motion Sensor Mode: When the TIMER dial is set to 1, 5, or 10 minutes, the light will activate when motion is detected within the set sensitivity range and ambient light conditions (typically at night). The light will remain on for the selected duration after the last motion is detected, then turn off.
  • Test Mode: Setting the TIMER dial to 'Test' allows you to verify motion detection during daylight. The light will turn on for a few seconds when motion is detected, then turn off. This mode is useful for positioning the sensor.

7. Maintenance

This LED flood light requires minimal maintenance.

  • Cleaning: Periodically wipe the fixture with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Inspection: Regularly check for any loose connections or damage to the wiring or housing.
  • The integrated LED light source is not user-replaceable.

8. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your flood light, refer to the following table for common problems and solutions.

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
