Installation; Wall Mounting - Arlec Compact Security Floodlight Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

MAL615 Instructs.qxd
• Do not aim towards reflective surfaces such as
smooth white walls or swimming pools etc.
• The scanning specifications (15m at 120° scan) may
vary slightly depending on the mounting height and
location. (Refer Fig. 2) The detection range of the unit
may also alter with temperature change.
• Before selecting a place to install the Floodlight, you
should note that movement across the scan area is
more effective than movement directly toward or
away from the sensor. (Refer Fig. 3A). If movement
is made walking directly towards or away from the
sensor and not across, the apparent detection range
will be substantially reduced (Refer Fig. 3B).
• Avoid locating your Floodlight in close proximity to fluorescent light fittings or ceiling fans on the same
electrical circuit. RFI interference may cause the Floodlight to switch on inadvertently.
Installation and wiring must be performed by a licensed electrician.
The light must be wired to its own light switch. Do not interconnect with other lights on the same switch

Installation

Wall Mounting

Place the junction box over the position for mounting and
mark the screw holes. Use the two mounting holes on the
inside surface of the junction box, and ensure the 'UP'
marking points upwards. Drill suitable holes, then feed the
supply cable through the rubber seal on the rear of the
junction box. Before fixing the junction box in place, seal any
hole in the wall through which the supply cable passes so as
to weatherproof it. Now fit screws to fix junction box to the
surface, again ensuring the 'UP' marking is pointing upwards.
Eave Mounting
Use a similar procedure to wall mounting, but the 'UP marking should point towards the outside
of the eave. We suggest 2 x spring toggle screws (not supplied) be used to mount your Floodlight
under eaves. Take care not to damage or pierce concealed wiring with mounting screws,
particularly when mounting under eaves.
