Choosing an installation location

Ideal installation location for the spotlight
Motion sensors are electronic sensors that recognise movement
in their environment and work as electrical switches, responding
to this movement. Heat sources are sensed using the lens. If a heat
source in the sensor's range changes or moves, the spotlight will
switch one for the configured time. In order to ensure that the spot
light functions optimally, please note the following requirements:
• The spotlight must be mounted on the mounting surface in
an upright position. This means that the motion sensor
is facing the ground. Therefore, never mount the spotlight
on a ceiling.
• Choose a location for installation that is protected against
wind and rain (e.g. under the eaves of a roof). The installation
surface must also be free from shocks or vibrations. Therefore,
do not mount the spotlight on a pole.
• To avoid unwanted triggering of the motion sensor, no
moving objects such as trees or bushes should be in the
range of the motion sensor. If the sensor's range is on a
street, vehicles driving past may switch the spotlight on
unintentionally.
• To avoid disturbing the proper functioning of the spotlight,
the motion sensor should be protected against direct sunlight
and from light from halogen lamps or light-reflective surfaces
such as swimming pools or ponds.
• Only intended for installation outside arm's length: The
optimum height for installation is approx. 1-2.5 m or above.
If the spotlight is installed lower than this, the sensor area
may be reduced (see Fig. C).
