Troubleshooting
Page 4 / 5
NOTE:
1. The sensitivity of the motion sensor will increase as the
environmental temperature gets colder. For best performance,
gently clean the lens with a soft cloth every 1 or 2 months to
ensure maximum sensitivity.
2. When installed at a height of 6.5 feet, at 77 degrees Fahrenheit
the light will provide a maximum detection distance of 40 feet
and detection range of 180 degrees. (See Fig.6 Fig.7)
3. The sensor will be more sensitive to motion across its
detection path than motion directly towards it. (See Fig.8)
4. To reduce possible interferences, do not mount the fixture
near a heat source like an air conditioner, vent or furnace
exhaust, or in a direction facing any reflecting object or
other light source.
Where you install your lantern is important:
Be sure the light is mounted straight on the wall;
otherwise, the detection distance may be limited.
