Suggested Remedy
Check all connections, and
fuses/switches.
Check. Replace.
Re-check.
Re-direct sensor or relocate unit.
Re-direct sensor (Refer Fig. 3).
Adjust lamp holders to allow a minimum
gap of 40mm between PAR38 globe and
sensor head.
Adjust direction of sensor head away
from these sources.
Probably unavoidable but redirecting
sensor may help.
Should the false triggering become
troublesome, consider:
(A) Replacing a faulty switch.
(B) Replacing noisy fluorescent tubes
and/or starters.
(C) Connecting the Floodlight to a
separate circuit.
(In most cases where one or more
of the above suggestions have been
carried out, false triggering has
been reduced.)
Re-direct sensor.
Nil.
Re-direct sensor (Refer Fig.3).
Try re-directing sensor. Note: All passive
infra red detectors are more sensitive in
cold weather than warm weather.
Switch light OFF for at least 15 seconds,
then return to ON position.
Re-direct sensor away from trees, pools,
flues etc.
Recheck wiring.

Light does not switch ON
when there is movement in
the detection area.
Light switches ON for
no apparent reason.
Poor Sensitivity and range.
Light remains ON.
Possible Cause
1. No mains voltage.
2. Globe(s) faulty or missing.
3. Wiring incorrect.
4. Nearby lighting is too bright.
5. Sensor positioned in wrong direction.
1. Heat from globe activating sensor.
2. Heat sources such as aircon. vents,
heater flues, barbecues, other outside
lighting, moving cars are activating
sensor.
3. Animals/birds e.g. possums or
domestic animals.
4. Interference from on/off switching
of electric fans or lights on the same
circuit as your Floodlight. (This
problem does not always occur but
a faulty switch or noisy fluorescent
light may cause the Floodlight to
switch on.)
5. Reflection from swimming pool or
reflective surface.
6. Interference from power surges,
mobile phones, CB’s, Taxis, etc.
1. Movement directly to or away from
sensor
2. Higher ambient temperature
1. Sensor is in Manual Mode.
2. Sensor is continuously triggered.
3. Wiring is incorrect.
Should a problem still exist after following all of the above user hints, contact your place of purchase.
Note: Passive infra red detectors are more sensitive in cold weather than warm weather.
