The SANSI Motion-Activated Ceramic LED Security Light is a versatile outdoor lighting solution designed to enhance security and convenience around your property. This user manual provides comprehensive instructions for installation, operation, and maintenance, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the device. The product is available in three models: C2440-MW-15W, C2440-MW-30W, and C2440-MW-45W, all in a white finish, catering to different lighting needs and coverage areas.

Function Description

At its core, the SANSI security light is a motion-activated LED fixture that illuminates an area when movement is detected. It incorporates advanced ceramic LED technology, offering efficient and bright illumination. The motion sensor is a key component, allowing the light to operate intelligently based on detected movement and ambient light conditions. The device is designed for vertical assembly on a flat wall surface, with an optimal installation height of 2.4 meters (7.87 ft), though it can be mounted between 1 and 4 meters (3.2 - 13.1 ft).

The light features multiple working modes, providing flexibility in how it operates:

• Test Mode: This mode allows users to quickly check if the sensor is working correctly. In test mode, the light illuminates for 5 seconds upon motion detection, regardless of day or night. This is particularly useful during installation to verify sensor functionality and coverage.
• Auto Mode: In auto mode, the light activates for a user-defined duration (1-10 minutes) only at night when motion is detected. A unique feature of this mode is the ability to activate a "constant-on" state for up to 8 hours at night by quickly flipping the home switch off for 1-2 seconds and then back on. The light will automatically revert to auto mode when ambient brightness exceeds 150 LUX.
• On Time Mode (Direct-Control Mode): This mode allows the user to manually control the light using an external on/off switch. The LED light source will remain on as long as the switch is in the "on" position, both during the day and night.
• D2D (Dusk-to-Dawn) Mode: In this mode, the light automatically turns on at dusk and turns off at dawn, providing continuous illumination throughout the night without requiring motion detection.

The device's functionality is further enhanced by several control knobs that allow for fine-tuning of its operation:

• Control Knob for Brightness Sensitivity (Lux): This knob sets the ambient brightness threshold for the sensor. If the ambient brightness is higher than the set value, it's considered "daytime," and the light will not turn on (unless in On Time mode). If the brightness is lower, it's considered "night," and the light will activate based on motion or D2D settings. The manual recommends setting this knob halfway for optimal performance, noting that a high LUX setting can cause the light to be on all the time, while a low LUX setting might cause it to flash.
• Control Knob for Operating Time (Time): This knob adjusts the duration the light remains on after motion is detected in auto mode. The minimum setting is 1 minute, and the maximum is 10 minutes.
• Control Knob for Sensing Range (Range): This knob allows users to adjust the motion detection distance. Turning it counterclockwise decreases the sensing range, while turning it clockwise increases it. This is crucial for preventing false activations from distant movements or for focusing the detection area.

Usage Features

The SANSI security light is designed with user convenience and adaptability in mind. Its motion-activated nature makes it an energy-efficient choice, as it only illuminates when needed. The ceramic LED technology ensures bright, reliable lighting with a wide coverage area, as indicated by the 180° maximum coverage diagram.

The adjustability of the motion sensor itself is a significant feature. Users can physically adjust the sensor upwards, downwards, or sidewards to modify the coverage area. This is particularly useful for tailoring the detection zone to specific needs, such as avoiding activation by passing cars on a street or focusing on a particular entry point. If the product is mounted at a height over 2.4 meters (7.87 ft), adjusting the motion sensor downwards can shorten the sensory coverage distance, reducing sensitivity to objects moving towards it. The manual emphasizes maintaining a minimum distance of 25 mm between the motion sensor and the lamp heads for proper operation.

Installation is streamlined with clear instructions for mounting and wiring. The product comes with all necessary accessories, including a bar-shaped mounting plate, screws, wire connectors, a waterproof gasket, a mounting bolt, and a rubber screw cap. The mounting plate is designed to fit standard junction boxes with an installation pitch of 88.9mm (3 1/2in). The wiring process is detailed, with specific instructions for connecting live (black), neutral (white), and ground (green) wires using the provided wire nuts.

A "wake-up process" occurs when the product is first switched on, where the LED light source illuminates for approximately 35 seconds. After this initial period, the light can be switched to the desired working mode. The LED light source will flash several times when switching between most working modes (except On Time mode) to indicate the change.

Maintenance Features

The SANSI Motion-Activated Ceramic LED Security Light is designed for durability and minimal maintenance. The ceramic LED technology contributes to a long lifespan, and the product comes with a 5-year warranty, demonstrating the manufacturer's confidence in its reliability.

To ensure optimal performance and longevity, the manual provides several important cautions:

• Power Off Before Installation: Always power off the circuit before beginning installation to prevent electrical hazards.
• Professional Installation: If unsure about correct assembly or wiring, consult a local specialist technician. Wiring must strictly comply with local regulations, rules, and national electrical codes.
• Avoid Frequent Switching: Frequent switching on/off of the product can reduce its lifespan. This is a general guideline for electronic devices and should be considered when choosing operating modes.
• Keep Away from Fire Sources: The product should be kept away from any fire sources to prevent damage or hazards.
• Environmental Considerations: The device should be kept away from objects with rapid temperature fluctuations, such as heating vents or air conditioners, as these heat sources can lead to activation faults. Similarly, nearby large, light-colored objects that reflect light may also trigger the sensor. It's also noted that moving pets or passing cars might activate the light, depending on the sensor's sensitivity and placement. Users should avoid directing any type of light towards the motion sensor to prevent interference.
• Calibration Time: When first using the product or after a power cycle, the motion sensor needs approximately 1.5 minutes to warm up and calibrate before it can accurately capture motion. Similarly, when first using the product or LED light source, allow 1-2 minutes for the electrical circuit to automatically calibrate.
• Motion Sensor Tightness: If the motion sensor becomes loose, the clamping screw should be tightened, but care must be taken not to overtighten it.

The robust design and comprehensive instructions aim to provide a reliable and long-lasting security lighting solution with minimal ongoing maintenance requirements, allowing users to enjoy enhanced safety and peace of mind.
