Understanding the controls
Time -
Time “ON” adjustment
The time “ON” control adjusts the time that the lights will remain on after the unit has sensed
movement. To increase time, turn the knob clockwise. To decrease, turn knob anti-clockwise.
Lux -
Light level adjustment
The “Lux” control adjusts at what level of light the unit starts sensing at dusk. This control can
be also used for testing the unit during daylight hours. To test unit, or operate during the day,
turn control knob all the way anti-clockwise. Once unit has been tested the “Lux” control
should be set to approx half way, and adjusted later if required.
Sens -
Sensitivity adjustment
The Sensitivity control adjusts the level of sensitivity of the infrared Sensor. This controls the
amount of movement that is required to switch the lights on. With the knob set to minimum
(anti-clockwise), the unit will only detect large amounts of movement. It is recommended that
in most situations the unit be operated with the “Sens” control set to half.
