Troubleshooting - Vaxcel T0632 Assembly And Installation Instructions

Advertisement

NOTE:
1. The sensitivity of the motion sensor will increase as the
environmental temperature gets cooler. For best performance,
gently clean the lens with a soft cloth every 1 or 2 months to
assure maximum sensitivity.
2. For best performance, install fixture at least 6 feet above
the ground. At such a height, the fixture will provide a
detection distance of up to 40 feet at 77 degrees
fahrenheit. (See Fig.6)
3. The sensor detects across a detection range of 180 degrees
(See Fig.7)
4. The sensor will be more sensitive to motion across its
detection path than motion directly towards it. (See Fig.8)
5. To reduce possible nuisances, do not mount the fixture
near a heat source like an air conditioner, vent or furnace
exhaust, or in a direction facing any reflecting object or

Troubleshooting

---The light does not come on at all:
1. Make sure the wall switch and circuit breaker are on.
2. Make sure the wiring is correct.
3. Make sure the bulb is not burned out.
4. Cover the sensor with your palm to verify that the
ambient light level is not too high.
----In Test Mode, the light stays on full brightness after 5 seconds:
1. If during daytime, make sure the slide switch is at the TEST position.
2. Whether the motion is detected at all time.
---In 3H or 6H Mode, the light is still on full brightness,even though it has been 3 hours or 6 hours
after dusk, respectively:
1. Make sure no motion could be picked up by the sensor.
2. Make sure that mode entry is not in manual override.
---After performing 3H or 6H Mode, the light stays on full brightness after 3 minutes:
1. Make sure there is no movement that could be picked up by the sensor.
2. Adjust the time knob counterclockwise to reduce the delay shut-off time.
----In 3H or 6H Mode, the light turns off completely, instead of low level brightness, after 3 minutes:
1. Make sure the bulb you installed is a medium base bulb or LED dimmable bulb.
2. Make sure the bulb is not burned out.
3. Make sure the low level is not at the 0% position.
-- The light blinks:
1. Make sure the light is not mounted near a barbecue, air conditioner or other heat source.
2. Adjust the sensitivity knob counterclockwise to avoid unnecessary triggering like a passing car or
reflecting objects.
3. Make sure the bulb is medium base bulb or LED dimmable bulb.
Where you install your lantern is important:
Be sure the light is mounted straight on the wall;
otherwise, the detection distance may be limited.
