4.4 Setting the controls
1. Set the [ LUX ] knob to
that the [ TIME ] knob is set to minimum (-). The floodlight will now activate for 30
seconds (this will happen within 1 minute).
2. Aim the sensor towards the desired detection zone. Point the arrow on the bottom
of the PIR sensor towards the detection zone.
3. Ask a friend to pass through the detection zone, carefully adjust the angle of the
sensor arm until the floodlight is activated by your friend.
4. Adjust the operating time as desired, using the [ TIME ] knob.
5. To set the lux level at which the light will activate: Turn the [ LUX ] knob from
towards
to have the light come on only at night. If you wish the light to come
on at dusk: Wait until the light has dropped to the desired level, and then slowly
turn the [ LUX ] knob towards
detection zone. Stop turning the knob as soon as the light comes on.
Note: This procedure sometimes needs to be repeated before the correct setting
is found.
