D. Your Floodlight is now ready for use, and will

automatically operate when movement is
detected at night.

E. The wall switch must remain “ON” for

automatic operation.

Automatic Mode

Turn your wall switch OFF for at least 15 seconds
and then turn the wall switch back ON. This will 
put the light into “automatic” mode. The unit will
then start sensing after dusk. The light will switch
ON and automatically switch OFF after the pre-set
time elapses and will then operate automatically
whenever heat movement is detected.

Manual Operation (Automatic Override)

To override the automatic mode, the light must be
switched ON in the Automatic mode. Now switch
your wall switch OFF and back ON within two
seconds. Your Floodlight will now stay on
continuously, just like a normal light. This override
function can be selected during nighttime only.

To return your Floodlight to the “automatic” mode,
switch your wall switch OFF for at least 15
seconds, and then switch it ON again.

To switch your Floodlight off completely, switch 
your wall switch OFF.

If at any time whilst changing operating mode you
are unsure which mode the unit is in, switch OFF 
for at least 15 seconds, then switch back ON, 
the unit will then be in the Automatic mode.

NOTE: This highly responsive unit may occasionally
activate due to rapid environmental changes.

When first switched on allow approx. 90 seconds
warm up time for the sensor operation to settle to
normal sensitivity.

Specifications

Detection Range

15 metres at 110° scan 
(approx)

Time On (fixed) 

6 minutes

Detection Circuitry

Passive controlled 
infrared motion sensor

Power Required

230-240 volt, 50Hz, 
4 watt consumption 
(sensor head only)

Maximum Globes

2 x 150 watt PAR38

Weatherproof Rating

IP44

Maintenance

To avoid dust build-up and ensure proper
functioning wipe the sensor lens lightly with 
a damp cloth every three months. Do not use 
solvents or abrasive cleaners on any part of 
your Floodlight.

Reducing Detection Area

To reduce the 110° wide-angle detection area, 
stick PVC electrical tape on the left, right or both
sides of sensor lens. This will reduce 110° detection
in extremities of area to be scanned.  After adding
PVC tape, further adjustment to sensor direction
may be necessary.
