Specifications

Setup - Before Use

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

Note: For additional information regarding the parts listed in the following pages, refer to Parts List and Diagram.

Installation

Underside of Lamp

1. Decide where to place the Lamp and Solar Panel.
   1. The Solar Panel is equipped with a 15 foot long Solar Power Cable, so the Lamp and Solar Panel can be installed up to 15 feet apart.
   2. The Solar Panel must be set in a location that receives full, direct sunlight, a minimum of 8 hours a day. Ideally, the Solar Panel should be angled slightly toward the South (northern hemisphere).
2. Mount the Solar Panel:
   1. Place the Solar Panel in the desired location, adjusting the unit to best fit the surface.
   2. Using the Solar Panel's Base as a template, mark the hole locations to install the panel. Set the Solar Panel aside.
   3. Verify that installation surface has no hidden utility lines before drilling or driving screws. Drill holes for the enclosed mounting Screws.
   4. Secure the Solar Panel in place with the Screws.
3. Mount the Lamp:
   1. Locate the unit 6 to 8 feet above ground on a solid surface capable of supporting the Lamp and secure enough so that it will not move when exposed to vibrations or wind. The unit must be high enough to allow for motion detection and light distribution.
   2. Using the Mounting Bracket as a template, mark the hole locations to install the Lamp. Set Lamp aside.
   3. Verify that installation surface has no hidden utility lines before drilling or driving screws. Drill holes for the enclosed Screws.
   4. Secure the Lamp in place with the Screws.

4. Carefully route the Solar Power Cable to the Lamp and plug it into the Solar Power Input.
5. Adjust the Motion Detector Head by moving it left or right so that it faces the area where movement will occur.
6. Loosen the Motion Detector Head Adjustment Knob to move the Head up or down. Once in place, tighten the knob.
7. Adjust the Mounting Bracket up or down by loosening the Bracket Adjustment Knobs. Once in place, tighten the knobs.

Functions

Operating Instructions

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

Initial Battery Charging

Before the Security Light can operate properly, the battery needs to be fully charged. To charge the battery:

1. Turn OFF the Power Switch.
2. ALLOW 3 DAYS OF FULL SUNLIGHT to fully charge the battery.
3. After charging, turn the Power Switch to Auto. The light will illuminate for a short time when first switched to Auto. This indicates that it is working properly.

The UNIT WILL NOT FUNCTION UNLESS: The Solar Panel is first charged for 3 DAYS OF FULL SUN with the SENSOR POWER OFF.

Power Switch

The Power Switch, located under the Battery Housing of the Lamp, has three settings:
AUTO: The Lamp will illuminate automatically when motion is detected by the Motion Sensor Head.
OFF: Center position is power off.
ON: The Lamp stay illuminated functioning as a normal light.

Motion Detector Control Knobs

Underside of Motion Detector Head

The Security Light has 3 different Control Knobs on the underside of the Motion Detector Head. They control the Motion Detector Head's sensor. They are:

1. Sensor's sensitivity to motion (SENS)
2. Light's duration (TIME)
3. Sensitivity to light (LUX)

NOTE: After each adjustment, walk the detection area to verify the adjustment just made.

SENS (Sensitivity)

The SENS Adjusting Knob sets the level of sensitivity of the Motion Detector Head.
The Motion Detector Head is most sensitive to movement across the detection zone, rather than movement toward or away from the Motion Detector Head.
Turn the dial anywhere between the minimum and maximum settings to adjust the level of sensitivity needed.
Note: Sensitivity is affected by the ambient air temperature. If it is hot outside, the sensor may have difficulty detecting changes in heat. In cold temperatures, the sensitivity is increased and may need to be adjusted.

Minimum Position

Turn the dial counterclockwise to the minimum setting (-). Ideal for cold winter conditions or when nuisance tripping is a problem. If the light is activated by small animals or rapid changes in heat, the sensitivity can be reduced by turning the knob counterclockwise towards the minimum setting.

Maximum Position

Turn the dial clockwise to the maximum setting (+). Ideal for hot summer conditions or to maximize range.

TIME (Light Duration)

The TIME Adjusting Knob sets how long the Light stays lit after motion is no longer detected by the sensor.

Minimum Position

Turn the dial counterclockwise to the minimum for the light to stay on for 10 seconds after motion is no longer detected.

Mid Range

Adjusting the dial between the Minimum and Maximum to choose any time between 10 seconds and 100 seconds for the light to stay on after motion is no longer detected.

Maximum Position

Turn the dial clockwise to the maximum for the light to stay on for 100 seconds after motion is no longer detected.

LUX (Light Level)

The LUX Adjusting Knob tells the sensor the level of darkness that must be reached before the Light turns on.

Minimum Position

Turning the dial counterclockwise to the minimum setting lowers the sensor level. The sensor will only trigger the light to turn on at dusk or when it is dark out. This is the ideal position for general evening and night operation.

Maximum Position

Turning the dial clockwise to the maximum setting increases the sensor level. The light will go on in most situations ranging from dark to daylight.

Note: If the Security Light is not operating at night due to interference from a street light or other interference, turn the LUX knob towards the maximum setting . Adjust the dial as needed between the minimum and maximum settings to achieve the desired level of sensitivity.

Testing the Light

After the battery is charged and the control Knobs are set, walk slowly around the detection area. The sensor detects infrared radiation given off by a person or animal. This triggers the Light to turn on. The Light should go on in the area that you set up the Security Light to monitor.

Adjust the Knobs and sensor and re-test until the unit functions as desired.

Repeat the test procedure as needed when there are weather and/or temperature changes.

Maintenance and Servicing

Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE:
Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.

Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication

1. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the tool. Check for:
   • leaking, swollen, or cracked battery,
   • loose hardware,
   • misalignment or binding of parts,
   • cracked or broken parts, and
   • any other condition that may affect its safe operation.

2. AFTER USE, wipe external surfaces of the tool with clean cloth.
3. Keep Solar Panel free of dirt and debris to maintain optimum efficiency in recharging the battery.

Battery Removal and Disposal

1. Disconnect Solar Power Cable.
2. The battery is located inside the Lamp's Battery Housing.
3. Remove four screws from the back of the Lamp's Battery Housing. Remove cover to expose the battery.
4. Disconnect wires and remove battery from housing.
5. Contains Li-Ion battery. Battery must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not open, crush, heat above 140°F or incinerate.

Light flashes on and off with clicking sounds.	Low battery.		With Switch set to "OFF", allow to charge in full sunlight for 3 days before further use.
Light stays "ON".	Duration time setting too long. Frequent changes in heat being detected. Power Switch set to ON.		Turn TIME knob counterclockwise to reduce the time the light stays on. Check sensing area for possible heat sources such as air vents, vehicles or objects in wind. Reposition the Motion Detector Head if needed, or turn SENS Knob counterclockwise to lower sensitivity. Turn Power Switch to AUTO.
Light turns ON and OFF.	Changes in heat are being detected from a fixed heat source or moving object. Sudden temperature change due to storms or high winds.		Check sensing area for possible heat sources such as air vents, vehicles or objects in wind. Reposition the Motion Detector Head. Turn Power Switch "OFF" until storm passes. Mount in a sheltered location.
Follow all safety precautions whenever diagnosing or servicing the tool. Disconnect Battery and Charger power supply before service.
