This document describes the Allen + Roth Wall Lantern, Model #41997, an outdoor lighting fixture designed for wet locations, offering a blend of welcoming, sophisticated, and inspiring aesthetics. The fixture is identified by Item #0808356.

Function Description:

The Allen + Roth Wall Lantern is an outdoor lighting fixture equipped with a motion sensor for automatic activation. It is designed to provide illumination for exterior spaces, enhancing security and ambiance. The motion sensor allows for customizable sensitivity and shut-off delay, adapting to various user preferences and environmental conditions. The fixture operates in two primary modes: Test Mode for initial setup and adjustment, and Auto Mode for regular operation. In Auto Mode, the light activates only at night when motion is detected. Users can manually override the Auto Mode to keep the light on until dawn.

Important Technical Specifications:

Model Number: #41997
Item Number: #0808356
Net Weight: 5.1 lbs.
Location Rating: Listed for Wet Location, indicating its suitability for outdoor use where it may be exposed to rain or other moisture.
Bulb Type: Requires an E26-base bulb (not included).
Motion Sensor Detection Range: 5-40 ft. (adjustable via sensitivity knob).
Motion Sensor Detection Angle: Approximately 120 degrees.
Power Requirements: Designed for connection to an electrical system with proper grounding. The provided wire connectors are designed to accept one 12-gauge house wire and two lead wires from the fixture. For larger gauge wires or multiple house wires, a qualified electrician should be consulted for appropriate wire connector sizing.
Supply Wire Rating: Most dwellings built before 1985 have supply wire rated for 140°F. Users should consult a qualified electrician before installation if unsure.
Estimated Assembly Time: 60 minutes.

Usage Features:

Motion Activation: The primary feature is its motion-sensing capability, which automatically turns the light on when movement is detected within its range.
Adjustable Sensitivity: A "Sensitivity" knob allows users to adjust the detection distance from 5 ft. to 40 ft., catering to different installation locations and desired coverage areas. The sensor is more sensitive to motion across its detection path than directly towards it.
Adjustable Shut-off Delay (Timer): A "Timer" knob enables setting the duration the light stays on after motion is no longer detected. In Auto Mode, this delay can be set from 5 seconds to 3 minutes.
Test Mode: Upon initial power-up, the fixture enters a 45-second initialization period, followed by a 5-minute Test Mode. During Test Mode, the light activates for 5 seconds each time motion is detected, allowing for easy adjustment of sensitivity.
Auto Mode: After Test Mode, the fixture transitions to Auto Mode, where it operates only at night, activating upon motion detection.
Manual Override: Users can manually override the Auto Mode to keep the light on until dawn by toggling the wall switch off for 2 seconds and then on again.
Easy Bulb Replacement: The design allows for straightforward insertion of an E26-base bulb into the socket.
Secure Mounting: The fixture is mounted to an outlet box using a mounting bracket and screws, ensuring a stable and secure installation.

Maintenance Features:

Sensor Lens Cleaning: To maintain optimal performance, the sensor lens should be cleaned with a soft cloth every 1 to 2 months.
Weather-Proofing: The installation instructions recommend using weather-proof caulk or sealant around the top and sides of the mounting plate to prevent water from collecting behind the fixture, thus protecting internal components and ensuring longevity.
Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes a troubleshooting section to address common issues such as the fixture not lighting, staying on continuously, or blinking on and off. This guide provides possible causes and corrective actions, such as checking wiring, replacing the bulb, adjusting sensor settings, or ensuring the light is not near a heat source.
Two-Year Limited Warranty: The manufacturer provides a two-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship from the date of purchase. This covers repair, replacement, or refund of the purchase price, provided the product is returned with proof of purchase in its original carton.
