spectively of light-level setting. The programme
is automatically activated after this time elapses.
The red LED stays ON all the time in test mode.
Setting the chosen operating mode by
programme selector switch
– P0: OFF (factory setting).
Loads (LED panel and sensor) are deactivated.
– P1: Sensor mode.
Light only switches ON after receiving a signal
from the motion detector.
– P2: Sensor mode with basic light level.
Light switches ON after receiving a signal from
the motion detector.
Light permanently ON in the morning and
evening hours at reduced basic light level.
Stay-ON time and brightness
– Stay-ON time is determined when the light is
used for the first time.
– During the first night, basic lighting is switched
OFF in the morning in programme 2.
– Stay-ON time and brightness can be automati-
cally matched to ambient conditions, e.g. stay-
ON time is longer in summer than it is in winter.
– Basic lighting level provides night-time illumina-
tion at approx. 3% light output. Light is switched
to maximum output when movement is identified
in the detection zone. The light then returns to
basic lighting level (approx. 3%).
The period basic lighting is provided for is
matched to ambient conditions. Using basic
lighting reduces light availability. If it is not need-
ed, it is recommended to switch it OFF (P1) to
ensure lighting availability in less sunny periods.
