Operating Instructions
1.
Before the Solar Motion Light can operate to its full capacity, allow the unit to charge in sunlight
for
2
days with the solar panel wire connected to the light. Charging should be done with the unit
in the “
OFF
” position.
2.
Located at the bottom of the Battery Housing there is a OFF/AUTO switch:
x
“AUTO” position, the light will turn on automatically when motion is detected.
x
“OFF” position, the light will remain off and will not detect any movement.
Location of the Solar Light
Solar powered lights require sunlight to recharge the internal batteries. For best results, locate the
Solar Panel in a position where it will receive direct sunlight, and is generally free from cover and
shade.
How to Use Control Dials
Please see recommended settings at right.
The Solar Motion Light has 3 dials which control
the light’s duration, sensitivity to light, and
sensitivity to motion.
LUX (Light Level)
The LUX dial adjusts the sensitivity to darkness. If set to the maximum
level, the light will go on in
daylight. If set to the minimum level the sensor will only trigger the light to turn on at dusk or when
it is dark out. Please note that ambient light will affect the sensor.
TIME
The time dial sets the duration the light will stay on when triggered. The duration is adjustable from 8
seconds to 2 minutes. Rotating the dial clockwise will increase the duration the light will stay on.
SENS (Sensitivity)
The SENS dial adjusts the distance of motion detection. When setting at maximum, detect distance
up to 40
ft, appropriate reduction settings can avoid unnecessary triggers and save power.
