Manual override function

If a mains switch is installed in the mains supply lead,
the light is capable of the following functions in addition
to the simple ON/OFF function:

Sensor operation
1) Switch light ON (when light is OFF):

Turn switch OFF and ON once.
Light stays ON for the period selected.

2) Switch light OFF (when light is ON):

Turn switch OFF and ON once.
The light goes out or switches over to sensor mode.

Manual override
1) Activate manual override:

Turn switch OFF and ON twice. The light is set to stay
ON for 4 hours (red LED lights up behind lens). Then it
returns automatically to sensor mode (red LED off).

2) Deactivate manual override:

Turn switch OFF and ON once. The light goes out or
switches over to sensor mode.

Important:

The switch should be actuated in rapid succession
(in the 0.5 – 1 sec. range).

Adjusting the detection zone

The detection zone can be limited to suit requirements.
The shrouds supplied with the light can be used to mask
out as many lens segments as you wish. This prevents
the light from being activated unintentionally, e.g. by
cars, passers-by etc., and allows you to target danger

spots. The shrouds can be cut along the pre-grooved
vertical divisions. Then you simply clip them onto the
lens.

Operation / Maintenance

The SensorLight is suitable for switching light ON auto-
matically. Weather conditions may affect the way the
SensorLight functions. Strong gusts of wind, snow, rain
or hail may cause the light to come ON when it is not
wanted because the sensor is unable to distinguish sud-

den changes of temperature from sources of heat.
The detector lens may be cleaned with a damp cloth
if it gets dirty (do not use cleaning agents).
