4. Setup and Installation

The flood light is designed for hardwired installation and comes fully assembled with all necessary accessories.

4.1 Mounting Options

The fixture supports two primary mounting methods:

• Wall Mounting: Securely attach the fixture to a vertical wall surface.
• Eave Mounting: Install the fixture underneath an eave or overhang.

Figure 4.1: Illustration of the two available mounting configurations: directly on a wall or suspended from an eave. For optimal water resistance, ensure a tight seal between the mounting surface and the luminaire.

4.2 Wiring Instructions

1. Turn off power: Before beginning installation, ensure the power supply to the installation area is turned off at the circuit breaker.
2. Prepare wiring: Connect the fixture's wires to your household wiring according to local electrical codes. Typically, this involves connecting live, neutral, and ground wires.
3. Secure fixture: Mount the fixture securely using the provided hardware for your chosen mounting method.
4. Seal connections: For outdoor installations, ensure all wiring connections are properly sealed to prevent water ingress. A tight seal between the mounting surface and the luminaire is crucial for water resistance.
5. Restore power: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power at the circuit breaker.

5. Operating Instructions

This flood light is designed for full manual control via a wall switch (model 929004696303) and offers various lighting modes.

Figure 5.1: The flood light is primarily controlled by a standard wall switch. Note that this specific model is hardwired and does not feature solar power or integrated dusk-to-dawn functionality by default, relying on the wall switch for basic ON/OFF control.

5.1 Adjusting Light Heads and Motion Sensor

• The three light heads can be rotated independently to direct illumination where needed.
• The motion sensor has a 180-degree adjustable angle. Position it to cover the desired detection area, up to 69 feet.

Figure 5.2: The motion sensor offers a 180-degree detection angle and can sense motion up to 69 feet away, allowing for broad coverage of your outdoor space.

5.2 Lighting Modes

The flood light offers four distinct lighting modes, which can be selected based on your needs:

Figure 5.3: This diagram illustrates the four operational modes of the flood light: Test mode (day/night, 5s motion), Sensor mode (night only, 1-10 min motion), Dusk-to-Dawn mode (night only, auto on/off), and Override mode (day/night, 6hr constant light).

• Test Mode: Can be activated in both daytime and nighttime. When no motion is detected, the light stays off. Upon motion detection, the light turns on at 100% brightness for 5 seconds. This mode is useful for testing sensor functionality and coverage.
• Sensor Mode: Can only be activated in the nighttime. When no motion is detected, the light stays off. Upon motion detection, the light turns on at 100% brightness for 1 to 10 minutes (duration may be adjustable via a setting on the sensor, refer to sensor dial if present).
• Dusk-to-Dawn Mode: Can only be activated in the nighttime. The light automatically turns on at dusk and turns off at dawn, providing continuous illumination throughout the night.
• Override Mode: Can be activated in both daytime and nighttime. This mode provides 100% brightness (6000 lm) for 6 hours, after which it automatically dims to 80% brightness. This mode allows for extended constant illumination when needed.

5.3 Manual Override Mode Activation/Deactivation

The Manual Override Mode can be activated and deactivated using the wall switch:

Figure 5.4: Instructions for activating and deactivating the 6-hour always-on mode. To activate, switch the light OFF and ON twice within 3 seconds. The light will automatically dim to 80% after 13 minutes. To deactivate, switch the light OFF and ON once for more than 3 seconds, or it will return to sensor mode automatically after 6 hours.

• To Activate 6-hour Always-On Mode: Switch the light OFF and then ON twice within 3 seconds. The light will activate the 6-hour always-on mode. It will automatically dim to 80% brightness after approximately 13 minutes.
• To Deactivate Sensor Override Mode: Switch the light OFF and then ON once, ensuring the OFF duration is more than 3 seconds. The light will return to its previous sensor mode. Alternatively, the light will automatically return to sensor mode after 6 hours.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your flood light.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the fixture with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or electrical components.
• Inspection: Annually inspect the fixture for any signs of damage, loose wiring, or corrosion. Ensure all mounting hardware remains secure.
• LEDs: The LED light source is integrated and not user-replaceable.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your flood light, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Light does not turn on:
  • Check if the power supply is on at the circuit breaker.
  • Verify all wiring connections are secure and correct.
  • Ensure the wall switch is in the ON position.
  • If in Sensor Mode, ensure it is nighttime and motion is detected.
• Light stays on continuously:
  • Check if the fixture is in Manual Override Mode. Deactivate it as per Section 5.3.
  • Ensure the motion sensor is not obstructed or detecting constant movement.
  • If in Dusk-to-Dawn mode, this is normal operation during nighttime.
• Motion sensor not detecting:
  • Adjust the motion sensor's angle to cover the desired area.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the sensor's view.
  • Verify the light is in Test Mode or Sensor Mode.
