Tests and Settings
Use the
[Test]
button and color LEDs to navigate the Tests and Settings
menu. The
[Test]
button is on the side of the sensor and the LEDs display
through the right side of the solar panel.
The menu times out after two minutes of inactivity.
Light Level Test
The Light Level Test quantifies the amount of energy produced by the
solar cells and confirms a good installation location.
1. Press and hold the
[Test]
button until the green LED is displayed.
Release the button to enter the menu and display the first item, the
blinking green LED.
2. Press and hold the
[Test]
button again until the green LED stops
blinking. The green LED then repeats a number of blinks according to
the detected light level. The sensor reevaluates the light level every
two seconds.

operates in the dark. The test repeats every two seconds and runs for 100
seconds. To exit before the time-out, press and hold the
