Safety Precautions

Read all instructions before installation and operation.

  1. Disconnect power at mains before installation or maintenance.
  2. Ensure installation surface is stable and can support the fixture's weight.
  3. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when installing at height.
  4. Do not install near flammable materials or in explosive atmospheres.
  5. Ensure all electrical connections comply with local regulations.

WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician.

Installation Steps

Follow these steps for proper installation.

  1. Choose location: Select area with clear detection path for PIR sensor.
  2. Mark mounting holes: Use bracket as template to mark drilling points.
  3. Drill holes: Use appropriate drill bit for wall material.
  4. Mount bracket: Secure with provided screws and wall plugs.
  5. Wire connections: Connect Live (Brown), Neutral (Blue), and Earth (Green/Yellow) to terminal block.
  6. Attach floodlight: Secure to bracket and adjust angle.
  7. Restore power and test operation.

CAUTION! Ensure all wiring is secure and properly insulated before restoring power.

Technical Specifications

Controls and Settings

Adjustable settings located on rear of fixture.

Control Dial 1 (LUX): Adjusts ambient light sensitivity. Turn clockwise for higher sensitivity (lights activate in darker conditions).

Control Dial 2 (TIME): Sets duration lights remain on after motion detection. Range: 10 seconds to 30 minutes.

Control Dial 3 (SENS): Adjusts motion detection sensitivity. Higher settings detect smaller movements at greater distance.

Mode Switch: Select between AUTO (PIR operation), ON (constant illumination), and TEST (verifies PIR function).

Wiring Connections

Terminal block connections for proper electrical installation.

  1. Turn off power at circuit breaker before wiring.
  2. Remove terminal block cover by loosening screw.
  3. Connect supply wires: Live (Brown) to L terminal, Neutral (Blue) to N terminal, Earth (Green/Yellow) to ⏚ terminal.
  4. Ensure wires are securely fastened and no bare conductors are exposed.
  5. Replace terminal block cover securely.

Tip: Use appropriate cable glands for weatherproof seal when cables enter fixture.

Motion Sensor Setup

Optimize PIR sensor performance with proper positioning.

  1. Mount fixture 2-3 meters above ground for optimal detection.
  2. Aim sensor toward area requiring coverage, avoiding obstructions.
  3. Adjust SENS dial to appropriate level (start at midpoint).
  4. Set LUX dial based on ambient light conditions.
  5. Set TIME dial for desired illumination duration.
  6. Test by walking through detection zone.

Note: Avoid pointing sensor toward heat sources, moving foliage, or reflective surfaces to prevent false triggers.

Operation Modes

Three operating modes selectable via mode switch.

AUTO Mode: Lights activate only when motion is detected in darkness (based on LUX setting).

ON Mode: Lights remain on continuously regardless of motion or ambient light.

TEST Mode: Lights turn on immediately when motion detected, regardless of ambient light. Use for setup verification.

WARNING! Do not look directly at LED light source when illuminated.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance.

  1. Turn off power before any maintenance.
  2. Clean lens and housing with soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
  3. Check mounting hardware annually for tightness.
  4. Inspect wiring connections periodically for corrosion or damage.
  5. Clear debris from sensor area to maintain detection accuracy.

CAUTION! Do not disassemble fixture beyond instructions. No user-serviceable parts inside.

Regulatory Compliance

CE marked: Complies with European Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. RoHS compliant: Contains no hazardous substances above permitted levels. Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE): Do not dispose with household waste. Recycle according to local regulations.

Troubleshooting

SymptomPossible CauseCorrective Action
Light does not turn onPower supply/Mode settingCheck circuit breaker; ensure mode is not in TEST; verify wiring connections.
Motion sensor not workingObstructions/SettingsClear sensor view; adjust SENS dial higher; check LUX setting.
Light stays on continuouslyMode setting/LUX dialSwitch from ON to AUTO mode; adjust LUX dial for higher sensitivity.
False triggeringExternal interferenceReposition fixture away from heat sources, moving trees, or reflective surfaces.
Reduced detection rangeDirty sensor/Weak batteryClean sensor lens; check power supply voltage.
Flickering lightLoose connection/Voltage fluctuationTighten all connections; check mains voltage stability.

Reset: Turn power off for 30 seconds, then restore to reset electronics.
