The Ring Beams Wired Floodlight is an outdoor lighting and security device designed to provide illumination and enhance the security of your home. It integrates with the Ring ecosystem, allowing for smart control and connectivity with other Ring devices.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Ring Beams Wired Floodlight is to provide powerful illumination for outdoor areas, typically triggered by motion detection. It is a wired device, meaning it connects directly to your home's electrical system, ensuring continuous power. The floodlight is designed to be versatile, with adjustable light angles to cover specific areas. It also features a motion sensor, which can be adjusted to optimize detection for your home's layout. A key feature is its compatibility with the Ring Beams Bridge, which connects the floodlight to your broader Ring system, enabling smart functionalities like app control, scheduling, and integration with other Ring security devices. The manual also highlights an upgrade path for users with a Spotlight Cam Wired, allowing them to integrate the camera into the floodlight's base, effectively combining the functionalities of both devices.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Power Source: 100 VAC~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. This indicates that the floodlight is designed for standard household electrical systems in various regions.
• Installation Requirements: Must be installed on a UL listed weatherproof electrical box. This ensures safety and compliance with electrical standards.
• Wiring: Requires connection to existing ground, neutral (white), and hot (black) wires from your electrical box.
• RF Exposure: To satisfy FCC / IC RF exposure requirements, a separation distance of 20 cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device operation. This is a crucial safety and compliance specification.
• FCC/IC Compliance: The device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s), indicating it meets regulatory standards for radio frequency devices.

Usage Features:

• Adjustable Lights: The floodlight features large knobs at the top of the lights, allowing users to loosen them and adjust the angle of the lights to illuminate specific areas. Once the desired position is found, the knobs can be tightened to secure the lights.
• Adjustable Motion Sensor: The motion sensor is adjustable, enabling users to try various angles to find the best setting for their home, optimizing motion detection and minimizing false alarms.
• Ring App Control: The device is managed through the Ring app, which guides users through the setup process and allows for ongoing management. This includes setting up the device, potentially scheduling lights, and receiving alerts.
• Ring Beams Bridge Integration: The floodlight connects to the Ring Beams Bridge, which is essential for integrating the device into the Ring ecosystem and enabling smart features. The Bridge must be set up and running before the floodlight can be configured.
• Spotlight Cam Wired Upgrade: Users with a Spotlight Cam Wired can upgrade it by integrating the camera into the floodlight. This involves removing the sensor from the floodlight and the camera from its base, then inserting the camera into the floodlight's base and securing it. This effectively combines the floodlight's illumination capabilities with the camera's surveillance features.

Maintenance Features:

The manual primarily focuses on installation and setup, with less emphasis on ongoing maintenance beyond initial adjustments.

• Electrical Safety: The manual strongly emphasizes disconnecting power at the fuse or circuit breaker before installation to prevent electrical shock. This is a critical safety measure for any maintenance involving electrical connections.
• Professional Installation (North America): For installations outside North America, or if the user is not comfortable with electrical wiring, it is recommended that installation and wiring be performed by a licensed electrician. This ensures proper and safe setup, which contributes to the long-term reliability and safety of the device.
• Code Compliance: Users are instructed to always follow code standards, which implies that any maintenance or modifications should also adhere to local electrical codes.
• Weatherproof Installation: The requirement to install on a UL listed weatherproof electrical box suggests that the device is designed for outdoor use and should be protected from the elements, which is a form of preventative maintenance.

In summary, the Ring Beams Wired Floodlight is a smart, wired outdoor lighting solution with adjustable lights and motion sensing, designed for integration into the Ring smart home security system via the Ring Beams Bridge. It prioritizes ease of installation and user-friendly control through the Ring app, with a strong emphasis on electrical safety and compliance.
