Vaxcel T0599 Assembly and Installation Instructions

Important to Know

1. Read all instructions carefully before installation and operation.
2. If you are not familiar with state and local electrical codes, it is recommended that you consult with a qualified electrician.
3. Before installation, shut off power at the main fuse or circuit breaker box. Be aware that simply turning off the wall switch is not sufficient to prevent an electrical shock.
4. This fixture requires a 120V AC, 60 Hz power source.
5. Do not attempt to take the lantern apart; there are no serviceable parts inside.
6. To avoid sensor damage by lightning or electrical surge, make sure the grounding wire is securely connected.
7. For general safety and to avoid any possible damage to the sensor, be sure the power is switched "off" before replacing the bulb.
8. Compatible with most LED dimmable bulb.

Maximum Wattage: 60W Incandescent Bulb or 20W LED Dimmable Bulb

Installation Steps

Turn off the power at fuse or circuit box

1. Unscrew the two set screws (D), remove the mounting plate unit (A) from the backplate.
2. Attach the mounting plate unit (A) to the outlet box by using two mounting screws (B). Note: Make sure that the two set holes are lined up horizontally to make the fixture level.
3. Take a glass panel and gently slide it into the bottom notch of the frame in place, secure it by pressing the two clips on top side of the frame. Repeat with the other glass panels.
4. Pull out the source wires from the outlet box. Make wire connections using wire connectors (C) as follows:
   • Connect the hot wire (usually black insulation) from the fixture to the black wire from the power source.
   • Connect the neutral wire (usually white insulation) from the fixture to the white wire from the power source.
   • Attach the fixture grounding wire (usually green with the insulation or bare wire) to the mounting plate unit (A) with the green grounding screw. Then, depending on local code, connect it to the house grounding wire with the wire connector (C).
   Carefully put all of the wires back into the outlet box.
5. Attach the backplate of the fixture to the mounting plate unit (A) by aligning holes, secure the two set screws (D) from the side hole of the backplate into the hole of the mounting plate unit (A). Note: With silicone caulking compound, caulk completely around where the backplate meets with the wall surface to prevent water from seeping into the outlet box.
6. Install the bulb (not included). See relamping label at socket area or packaging for maximum wattage allowed.

The Position of Control Panel

Step 1: Rotate the sensor lens from left side to right side to show the adjustable knobs and slide switch. (See Fig.2)

Step 2: Adjust time, low level brightness and sensitivity by knobs and choose the mode you want by slide switch. (See Fig.3 and Fig A).

Step 3: Restore the sensor lens to original position. (See Fig.4)

Function and Operation

MODES OF OPERATION

Choose a mode by sliding the switch on the back of the sensor. When power is first applied, the light will turn on immediately. Wait for 100 seconds to allow the sensor to warm up.

1. TEST MODE (daytime and nighttime operation)
   The light will turn to low-level brightness (0%~50% brightness). The light will turn to high-level brightness (100% brightness) when motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion is continuing. The light will revert to low-level brightness about 5 seconds after motion is no longer detected.
2. 3H MODE (nighttime operation only)
   At dusk, the light will turn to high-level brightness (100% brightness). The light will turn to low-level brightness (0% ~50% brightness) automatically after 3 hours. The light will turn to high-level brightness (100% brightness) when motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion is continuing. When motion is no longer detected, the light will remain on for the predetermined time you set (5~180 seconds), and then revert to low-level brightness you set. Light will turn off automatically at dawn, and return to 3 H mode at dusk.
3. 6H MODE (nighttime operation only)
   At dusk, the light will turn to high-level brightness (100% brightness). The light will turn to low-level brightness (0% ~50% brightness) automatically after 6 hours. The light will turn to high-level brightness (100% brightness) when motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion is continuing. When motion is no longer detected, the light will remain on for the predetermined time you set (5~180 seconds), and then revert to low-level brightness you set. Light will turn off automatically at dawn, and return to 6 H mode at dusk.
4. 0 MODE (nighttime operation only)
   The light will turn to low level brightness (0%~50% brightness) at dusk. The light will turn to high-level brightness (100% brightness) when motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion is continuing. When motion is no longer detected, the light will remain on for the predetermined time you set (5~180 seconds), and then revert to low level brightness you set. Light will turn off automatically at dawn, and return to 0 H mode at dusk.
5. Manual Override MODE (nighttime operation only; on at dusk, off at dawn)
   In 3, 6 or 0 mode, to shift to manual override mode, turn off the wall switch in 3 seconds and then turn it on again, the light will turn to high-level brightness at dusk, and turn off automatically at dawn. To return to the previous settings, turn off the wall switch in 3 seconds and then turn it on again. (See Fig.5 Fig.6) The lights will turn off automatically at dawn.

CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS:

Shut-off Delay

The Shut-off delay is the length of time the light will stay at high-level brightness after motion has ceased to be detected. This Shut-off delay can be set when operation is in 3, 6 or 0 Mode by using the "TIME" knob located on the left side of the panel at the back of the sensor lens (See Fig.6). To increase the shut-off delay, turn the knob clockwise. To decrease shut off delay, turn the knob counterclockwise. The delay may be adjusted from a minimum of 5 seconds to a maximum of 3 minutes. The light will stay on as long as motion is detected continuously and will automatically turn to low-level brightness when no more motion is detected after the delay time has passed.

Sensitivity of Motion Sensor

The sensitivity of the motion sensor can be adjusted by using the “Sens” knob located on the right side of the panel at the back of sensor lens (See Fig.6. To increase sensitivity, turn the knob clockwise. To decrease sensitivity, turn the knob counterclockwise. The sensitivity may be adjusted from a minimum of 5 feet to a maximum of 40 feet.

Troubleshooting

The light does not come on at all:

1. Make sure the wall switch and circuit breaker are on.
2. Make sure the wiring is correct.
3. Make sure the bulb is not burned out.
4. Cover the sensor with your palm to verify that the ambient light level is not too high.

In Test Mode, the light stays on full brightness after 5 seconds:

1. If during daytime, make sure the slide switch is at the TEST position.
2. Whether the motion is detected at all time.

In 3H or 6H Mode, the light is still on full brightness, even though it has been 3 hours or 6 hours after dusk, respectively:

1. Make sure no motion could be picked up by the sensor.
2. Make sure that mode entry is not in manual override.

After performing 3H or 6H Mode, the light stays on full brightness after 3 minutes:

1. Make sure there is no movement that could be picked up by the sensor.
2. Adjust the time knob counterclockwise to reduce the delay shut-off time.

In 3H or 6H Mode, the light turns off completely, instead of low level brightness, after 3 minutes:

1. Make sure the bulb you installed is a medium base bulb or LED dimmable bulb.
2. Make sure the bulb is not burned out.
3. Make sure the low level is not at the 0% position.

The light blinks:

1. Make sure the light is not mounted near a barbecue, air conditioner or other heat source.
2. Adjust the sensitivity knob counterclockwise to avoid unnecessary triggering like a passing car or reflecting objects.
3. Make sure the bulb is medium base bulb or LED dimmable bulb.
