3. Connect the fixture's wires to your house wiring:
   • Connect the black wire (Live) from the fixture to the black wire from the junction box.
   • Connect the white wire (Neutral) from the fixture to the white wire from the junction box.
   • Connect the green or bare copper wire (Ground) from the fixture to the ground wire from the junction box.
   Secure all connections with wire nuts and electrical tape.
4. Carefully tuck all wires into the junction box.
5. Attach the fixture body to the crossbar mount plate, securing it with the provided screws.
6. Install the E26 bulb(s) into the socket(s). The open bottom design allows for easy bulb replacement without tools.
7. Restore power at the circuit breaker.

5.3 Remote Control Setup

• Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.

6. Operating Instructions

The VIANIS outdoor lights feature intelligent motion and dusk-to-dawn sensors, along with a remote control for customized settings.

6.1 Automatic Sensor Operation (Default)

• Dusk-to-Dawn (Photocell): The lights will automatically turn ON at sunset and OFF at dawn.
• Motion Activation: When set to an automatic mode, the lights will respond to detected motion.

6.2 Remote Control Functions

The remote control allows for easy adjustment of various settings without needing to physically access the light fixtures.

Figure 4: Remote Control Overview. This diagram details the functions of each button on the remote control. It includes Manual ON/OFF, Auto Mode (Motion-Activated), Dusk-to-Dawn (DTD), Set Off-Delay Time (Time+/-), Switch ECO/DIM, Adjust Brightness (Dim+/-), Adjust Sensitivity (L, M, H for 6.5ft, 16.4ft, 26ft respectively), and Ambient Light Level (Lux-/Lux+ to turn light on earlier or later). The image also shows a user operating the remote, emphasizing that all settings are via remote, avoiding ladder climbs.

Remote Buttons and Their Functions:

• ON/OFF: Manual control to turn the lights on or off.
• Test: Activates a test mode for motion sensor functionality.
• Auto: Engages the motion-activated mode.
• DTD (Dusk-to-Dawn): Activates the dusk-to-dawn sensor.
• Time+/-: Adjusts the duration the light stays on after motion detection (off-delay time).
• Dim/ECO: Toggles between DIM mode and ECO mode.
• Dim+/-: Adjusts the brightness level in DIM mode or the initial dim level.
• L/M/H (Sensitivity): Adjusts the motion sensor sensitivity (L: 6.5ft, M: 16.4ft, H: 26ft).
• Lux-/Lux+ (Ambient Light Level): Adjusts the ambient light threshold for the dusk-to-dawn sensor, allowing the light to turn on earlier or later.
• Reset: Resets the remote settings to default.

6.3 Lighting Modes

The lights offer several operational modes, primarily controlled via the remote.

Figure 5: Remote-Controlled Modes. This image illustrates three primary lighting modes: DIM Mode, where the light stays at 10-30% brightness when idle and switches to full brightness upon motion detection; ECO Mode, where the light is completely off when unoccupied and turns on at night when motion is detected; and DTD Mode, which ensures the light automatically turns off at dawn and on at dusk.

• DIM Mode:
  • At sunset, the light turns on at a dim level (e.g., 30% brightness).
  • When motion is detected, the light activates to 100% brightness.
  • After 2 minutes without motion, it reverts to the dim level.
• ECO Mode:
  • The light remains off when no motion is detected.
  • At night, when motion is detected, the light turns on to 100% brightness.
  • After a set period without motion, the light turns off completely.
• DTD (Dusk-to-Dawn) Mode:
  • The light automatically turns on at dusk and off at dawn.
  • This mode typically works in conjunction with motion sensing, or can be set for continuous illumination.
• Manual Override Mode:
  

  Figure 6: Manual Override Mode. This image depicts a house with its outdoor lights illuminated, demonstrating the manual override mode. To activate, turn the light OFF and then ON within 2 seconds. In this mode, the lights stay on at 100% brightness for 8 hours, then turn off at dawn and return to AUTO mode.
  • To activate: Turn the light OFF and then ON again within 2 seconds using the wall switch.
  • The light will stay on at 100% brightness for 8 hours.
  • After 8 hours, or at dawn, the light will turn off and return to the previously set AUTO mode.

6.4 Ceiling Light Specific Controls

The ceiling light offers additional customizable solutions via the remote:

• Adjustable Detection Range: Set between 6-26 feet to minimize false triggers.
• Adjustable Brightness: Choose between 20% (soft light), 70% (animal deterrence), or 100% (maximum security illumination).
• Preset Continuous Illumination Duration: Set for 1-10 minutes to adapt to various activities.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your VIANIS outdoor lights.

7.1 Cleaning

• Disconnect Power: Always turn off power at the circuit breaker before cleaning.
• Fixture Exterior: Wipe the fixture with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
• Glass Panels: Clean glass panels with a mild glass cleaner and a soft cloth.
• Sensors: Ensure the motion sensor and photocell lens are clean and free from obstructions (dirt, leaves, spiderwebs) for proper operation.

7.2 Bulb Replacement

• Disconnect Power: Turn off power at the circuit breaker.
• Cool Down: Allow the bulb to cool completely before touching it.
• Remove Old Bulb: Unscrew the old E26 bulb. The open bottom design of the fixtures makes this process tool-free.
