Model: OL-2HS

Instruction Manual

Important Safety Information

WARNING

THE INSTALLATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

  • LED Security Lights are suitable for use in dry and damp locations.
  • Keep LED Security Lights away from corrosive substances; clean with a dry cloth.
  • Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician.
  • Disconnect power before installation or maintenance to prevent electric shock.

Application Notice

To reduce risks of death, injury, or property damage, read all warnings and instructions before installation.

  • Commercial installation, service, and maintenance require a qualified, licensed electrician.
  • For residential installation, consult a qualified electrician if unsure.
  • DO NOT mount the unit against flammable surfaces.
  • Recommended mounting height: at least 6' 6" (approx. 2m) off the ground.
  • The security light MUST be powered directly to a switched circuit.
  • Do not use in areas with limited ventilation or high ambient temperatures.
  • CANNOT be used with a dimmer switch, motion or occupancy sensor, or other electronic switching device.
  • Intended for connection to a properly installed and grounded UL listed junction box.

WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK

  • Turn OFF electrical power at the fuse or circuit breaker box before wiring.
  • Verify supply voltage is correct (110V-240V) before installing.
  • Make all electrical and grounded connections according to the National Electric Code and applicable local codes.
  • Use UL listed wire connectors for all wiring connections.

WARNING - RISK OF PRODUCT DAMAGE

  • NEVER connect the fixture with power ON.
  • DO NOT mount or support the product in a way that can cut or damage wire insulation.
  • Avoid covering LED products with insulation or materials that prevent cooling.
  • NEVER connect an LED product directly to dimmer packs, occupancy sensors, timing devices, or other control devices unless specified.
  • LED products are polarity sensitive; ensure proper polarity.
  • Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage LED products. Wear personal grounding equipment during installation and service.
  • DO NOT touch individual electronic components, as this can cause ESD and shorten lamp lifetime or alter performance.

WARNING - RISK OF INJURY

  • Wear gloves and safety glasses AT ALL TIMES during handling, installation, or servicing.
  • Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source while ON. Staring directly into the LED light can cause irreparable eye damage.
  • Dispose of packaging materials and account for all small parts, as they can be hazardous to children.

WARNING - RISK OF BURN

  • Allow the fixture to cool completely before handling. DO NOT touch the enclosure or light source.
  • DO NOT exceed the maximum wattage marked on the label.
  • Keep combustible materials away from the light, lamp, or lens.

Installation Guide

CAUTION: READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE COMMENCING INSTALLATION AND RETAIN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. Electrical products can cause death, injury, or property damage. Consult a competent electrician if in doubt.

Silicon Sealant recommended (not included).

Gasket (optional, Quantity: 1).

Tools Required for Installation: Phillips screw driver and level.

Mounting Instructions

DO NOT MOUNT ON THE GROUND. Recommended installation height is 6-1/2 ft to 10 ft (approx. 2m to 3m).

Parts List (Diagram Description):

The installation diagram shows the following components:

  • Light Fixture (A)
  • Plastic Cover (B)
  • Stainless Steel Screw (C)
  • Gasket (D) (optional)
  • Cross Bar (E)
  • Grounding Screw (F)
  • Grounding Wire (G)
  • Wire nut (H) (Quantity: 3)
  • Stainless Steel Mounting Screws (I) (Quantity: 2)

Mounting and Wiring the Light:

Step 1: Turn OFF power to the circuit breaker box. Do not rely solely on the wall switch.

Step 2: Install the cross bar (E) to the junction box using the (2) mounting screws (I). If mounting to a wall or building, pre-drill holes and use appropriate plugs/anchors, then secure the cross bar with the (2) mounting screws (I).

Step 3: On the cross bar, locate GND and attach the ground wire (G) with the grounding screw (F).

Step 4: Connect the grounding wire (G) to the house ground wire using a wire nut (H). Twist clockwise until tight.

Step 5: Connect supply wires using wire nuts (H). Connect the BLACK supply wire to the BLACK power supply wire (Live). Connect the WHITE product wire to the WHITE supply wire (Neutral).

Step 6: You may use the optional gasket (D) at this time.

Step 7: Install the light fixture (A) to the cross bar (E). Use silicone sealant (not included) around the perimeter to seal for moisture.

Step 8: Screw in the stainless steel screw (C) to hold the fixture in place. Insert the plastic screw cover (B) into the screw hole.

Step 9: Turn ON your electricity after installation is complete.

Step 10: Turn ON the power switch. The light will NOT cycle ON or OFF if the switch is off.

Adjusting Light Heads and Sensor

Adjusting Your Light Heads

Light heads can be adjusted individually to a desired position. They can also be adjusted up and down.

WARNING: Risk of fire. DO NOT aim bulbs at a combustible surface within 3 ft (1m).

Adjusting Your Motion Sensor

The sensor head can be adjusted to set the detection area and distance.

Sensor Head Adjustments:

  • Pan: Left 170° / Right 170°
  • Tilt: Up 0° / Down 60°

REMINDER: If the fixture is mounted higher than 8 ft (2.4m), aiming the sensor down will reduce coverage distance. The detector is less sensitive to motion directly towards it.

Installation for Optimal Performance

For easy installation, replace an existing light operated by a wall switch. For better performance, mount the fixture about 8 ft (2.4m) above the ground. If mounted higher than 8 ft (2.4m), aiming the sensor down will reduce coverage distance.

CAUTION: Keep the sensor at least 2" (51 mm) away from the lamps.

Setting the Motion Sensor

Detection Range: 50 ft (approx. 15m)

Detection Angle: 180°

Sensor Detection Range Controls:

The sensor has controls for LUX (ambient light sensitivity) and ON TIME (duration the light stays on).

  • LUX Setting: Controls when the light turns ON based on ambient light. Slide switch to "L" for darker conditions, "M" for dusk, or "H" for lighter conditions.
  • Time Setting: Controls how long the light remains ON. Slide switch to the desired time duration (e.g., 5s, 1 min, 5 min, 12 min).

REMINDER: The sensor has a 1-1/2 minute warm-up period before it will detect motion. Wait 1-1/2 minutes after turning it on.

Avoid aiming the control at:

  • Objects that change temperature rapidly (heating vents, air conditioners).
  • Areas with pets or traffic.
  • Nearby large, light-colored objects that reflect light.
  • Other lights pointing at the sensor.

Troubleshooting

Lights Will Not Come On:

  1. Check if the light switch is turned OFF.
  2. Ensure the light is not loose or burned out.
  3. Verify the fuse is not blown or the circuit breaker is not OFF.
  4. Check if Daylight Turnoff is active (verify after dark).
  5. Inspect for incorrect circuit wiring, especially in new installations.
  6. Re-aim the sensor to cover the desired area.

Lights Stay ON Continuously:

  1. A lamp may be positioned too close to the sensor or pointed at nearby objects that generate heat, triggering the sensor. Reposition the lamp away from the sensor or objects.
  2. The light control may be pointed toward a heat source like an air vent, dryer vent, or a brightly painted heat-reflective surface. Reposition the sensor or reduce its range.

Lights Come On for No Apparent Reason:

  1. The light control may be sensing small animals or automobile traffic. Re-aim the sensor.
  2. The range may be set too high. Reduce the range setting.

Lights Come On in Daylight:

  1. The light control may be installed in a relatively dark location.

Lights Flash ON and OFF:

  1. Heat or light from the lamps may be causing the light control to cycle ON and OFF. Reposition the lamps away from the sensor.
  2. Heat reflected from other objects may be affecting the sensor. Reposition the sensor.

Maintenance

To clean the surface of the light, use mild soap and water. DO NOT use scouring pads, powders, steel wool, or any other abrasive materials. DO NOT immerse the fixture in water.
