Note: Electrical wiring must be carried out
by a registered electrical contractor.
Ensure electricity is switched off at the mains
before installing or maintaining any light fitting
Where to fit your Arlec Dual Floodlight
with Sensor
Ideally the light should be mounted 2.4 metres (8ft)
above the area to be scanned (Refer Fig.1) or on
an eave.
Although this product is weatherproof it is
preferable to mount your Arlec Dual Floodlight with
Sensor in a sheltered or semi-sheltered location.
To avoid damage to unit –
do not aim the sensor
towards the sun.

Installation Instructions
Dual Floodlight with Sensor
Important! Please read these instructions carefully.
MAL413
To avoid nuisance triggering, the sensor should be
directed away from heat sources such as barbecues,
airconditioners, other outside lighting, flue vents and
moving cars.
Do not aim towards reflective surfaces such as
smooth white walls, swimming pools etc.
The scanning specifications (15 metres at 110° scan)
may vary slightly depending on the mounting height
and location. (Refer Fig. 1 and 2). The detection range
of the unit may also alter with temperature change.
Before selecting a place to install the Arlec Dual
Floodlight with Sensor, you should note that
movement across the scan area is more effective
than movement directly toward or away from the
sensor. (Refer Fig. 3A).
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. 3B).
