Introduction

This floodlight incorporates an automatic PIR sensor with two PAR38 
lamps. The sensor continuously scans a preset operating zone and 
immediately switches the floodlight on when it detects movement 
from people and animals. It can be used to illuminate pathways, steps, 
patios, porches or other areas that require lighting for reasons of safety, 
convenience or security. Whilst there is movement within the scanning 
area the floodlight will remain on.

Where to fit your floodlight

Before selecting a place to install your floodlight you should note that 
movement across the scan area is more effective than movement directly 
toward or away from the sensor (refer FIG. 1B). If movement is made 
walking directly towards or away from the sensor and not across, the 
apparent detection range will be substantially reduced (refer FIG. 1A). 
Always mount the MPES181BP sensor light in a sheltered position, i.e. 
under the eaves of the house.

Ideally the floodlight should be mounted 1.8-2.5m above the area to be 
scanned (refer to Fig. 3).
