SENSOR LIGHT
To achieve best results for outside use, the
Sensor Light should be mounted on a wall of a
building, often replacing an existing light fitting.
Ideally the Sensor Light should be mounted
2 metres (7ft) above the area to be scanned.
(Refer Fig. 1)

• The unit is suitable for permanent outdoor
installation
• To avoid damage to unit - do not aim the
sensor towards the sun.
• To avoid nuisance triggering, the sensor
should be directed away from heat sources
such as barbeques, air conditioners, other
outside lighting, moving cars and flue vents.
Do not aim towards reflective surfaces such as
smooth white walls, swimming pools etc.
The Sensor Light scanning specifications
(approximately 8 metres at 120°) (Refer Fig. 2)
may vary slightly depending on the mounting
height and location. The detection range of the
unit may also alter with temperature change.

Before selecting a place to install the Sensor
light you should note that movement across the
beam is more effective than directly toward or
away from the sensor (Refer Fig. 3).

THE SENSOR LIGHT muST BE
INSTALLED BY A LICENSED
ELECTRICIAN.
Your Sensor Light must be wired to its own
switch. Do not interconnect with other lights on
the same switch.
For installation/maintenance purposes the
electrical supply must be isolated at the
switchboard by removing the fuse or switching
the circuit breaker OFF. Simply isolating the
electrical supply at the wall switch is not
sufficient isolation to prevent an electrical shock.

Remove front trim and diffuser from lamp body
by undoing top screws. Position lamp body
against wall and mark by undoing the top
screw marking mounting screw positions.
Make allowance in positioning for the cable to
wire the light to enter through the cable entry
hole at the bottom left of the lamp body.

STEp 2

Drill the wall to take suitable mounting screws.
• Care should be taken to avoid drilling or
screwing into concealed electrical wiring.
• For solid brick we suggest that you use
screws and masonry plugs. Fix the mounting
bracket to the wall, leading the supply cable
through the cable entry of the mounting
bracket.
Your Sensor Light is now ready to be wired.
