Defiant DFI-0452-WH - Motion Security Light Quick Start Guide

Introduction

THIS LIGHT REQUIRES DIRECT EXPOSURE TO THE SUN TO CHARGE
The Defiant DFI-0452-WH Motion Security Light uses solar power to charge its on-board lithium-ion battery.
Upon installation, the light should be allowed to charge for at least 6 hours in direct sunlight before first use.
(Optional: leave the light OFF for at least 2 days, to charge without interruption, before turning ON for continuous operation.)

What's in the Box

About the Rechargeable Battery

Specifications and Usage

Battery is installed, and may have a starting charge.
The Motion Security Light includes a 2000mAh 3.7V rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. It is already installed in the unit, and may have a small charge for testing.
During the day, the battery is charged by solar energy; it take about 6 hours in clear, direct sunlight for the battery to charge to full capacity.
In the evening, when the light switches over to motion-sensing, the battery discharges whenever the light is triggered. It will discharge for a total of about 2 hours before being depleted. Once the battery is depleted, the light will stop working until it is charged again the next day.
The battery is exclusively for use in the Defiant DFI-0452-WH, and replacement batteries are available. Contact Home Depot Customer Service at 1-866-308-3976 for details.

Placement of the Light

for Optimal Operation

Mount at least 7.5 feet above the ground
You can install the light almost anywhere in an outdoor setting, so long as it can be connected to the Solar Panel.

Mount on Wall or Eave

Adjust the PIR Motion Sensor Head

Adjust the Motion Sensor Head based on the distance you prefer to detect motion.
Adjust SENS accordingly.

Where to Place the Solar Panel

for Optimal Exposure to the Sun

The Solar Panel should be placed in an area that allows for the maximum amount of sunlight exposure per day.

• Solar Panel is best when placed on the southernfacing portion, or the highest point, of a structure.
  
  

• The panel should not be placed where shade or shadow is cast upon it by trees, buildings, telephone poles, or other obstructions.
  

Adjusting TIMER, LUX and SENS Settings

Your Motion Security Light has 3 basic settings, TIME, LUX and SENS.

	TIME adjusts the amount of time the light will stay ON when triggered by motion. It can be adjusted from 1 to 5 minutes.
	SENS adjusts how "sensitive" the PIR is to motion. L (Low) Least sensitive setting. Good for stairs, door coverage. Low energy usage. M (Medium) Good for small yards, garages, and patios. H (High) Detect motion up to 50' away. Good for large yards, open areas. High energy usage.
	LUX adjusts the level of light that has to be reached before the light will activate when motion is detected. The following settings will activate the light: Automatically turns ON when it's dark. Automatically turns ON just after sunset. Automatically turns ON late in the day.

About the Indicator Light ( Blue = Charging • Green = Motion )

Your Motion Security Light has an Indicator light that will help you understand what the unit is doing at any given time.

BLUE Indicator Light, "CHARGING"

• Flashes every 4-6 seconds when unit is charging.
• Indicates that the connection between Solar Panel and Rechargeable Battery is intact.
• Demonstrates battery is functioning properly.

If you do not see the flashing blue light during the day, the battery may be completely charged. If, however, the light does not turn ON in the evening, check the connection between the Solar Panel and the Light unit.
You will not see the Blue indicator light ON at night.

GREEN Indicator Light, "DETECTING MOTION"

• Flashes/Stays ON when motion is detected.
• Flashes during the daylight or at night.
• Indicates that the motion sensor is working, and the battery is charged.
