Location of unit
To achieve best results for exterior use, your Movement Activated Floodlight should be securely
mounted to a wall or eaves in close proximity (max 300mm) to an existing bayonet style light fitting.
For ideal operation the sensor head should be located approx 2.5m above the area where move-
ment is to be sensed. This will provide the best scanning sensitivity and detection area.
NOTE: Always avoid locating your Movement Activated sensor light within close proximity to
fluorescent lighting or ceiling fans on the
same electrical circuit. Care should be
taken to avoid installing sensor unit near
any source of infrared light such as
Incandescent lighting, open fires, etc, as
these may cause false activation. Further
care should be taken to ensure that sensor
is not pointed directly at the sun.
When mounting, always try to mount unit
so that any movement will be directly
across the detection field, as movement
across the beam is more easily detected
than movement towards or away from the
unit.
Aiming lights and sensor at reflective sur-
faces such as white walls and swimming
pools may cause the unit to false trigger or
remain activated for long periods.
Sensor can be angled above animal height
to avoid nuisance triggering of lights
