Function and Operation
MODES OF OPERATION
Choose a mode by sliding the switch on the back of the sensor. When power is first applied, the light will turn on immediately. Wait for 30 seconds to allow the sensor to warm up.
1. TEST MODE (daytime and nighttime operation) The light will turn to low-level brightness (0%~50% brightness). The light will turn to high-level brightness (100% brightness) when motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion is continuing. The light will revert to low-level brightness about 5 seconds after motion is no longer detected.
2. 3H MODE (nighttime operation only) At dusk, the light will turn to high-level brightness (100% brightness). The light will turn to low-level brightness (0% ~50% brightness) automatically after 3 hours. The light will turn to high-level brightness (100% brightness) when motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion is continuing. When motion is no longer detected, the light will remain on for the predetermined time you set (5~180 seconds), and then revert to low-level brightness you set. Light will turn off automatically at dawn, and return to 3 H mode at dusk.
3. 6H MODE (nighttime operation only) At dusk, the light will turn to high-level brightness (100% brightness). The light will turn to low-level brightness (0% ~50% brightness) automatically after 6 hours. The light will turn to high-level brightness (100% brightness) when motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion is continuing. When motion is no longer detected, the light will remain on for the predetermined time you set (5~180 seconds), and then revert to low-level brightness you set. Light will turn off automatically at dawn, and return to 6 H mode at dusk.
4. 0 MODE (nighttime operation only) The light will turn to low level brightness (0%~50% brightness) at dusk. The light will turn to high-level brightness (100% brightness) when motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion is continuing. When motion is no longer detected, the light will remain on for the predetermined time you set (5~180 seconds), and then revert to low level brightness you set. Light will turn off automatically at dawn, and return to 0 H mode at dusk.
5. Manual Override MODE (nighttime operation only; on at dusk, off at dawn) In 3, 6 or 0 mode, to shift to manual override mode, turn off the wall switch in 3 seconds and then turn it on again, the light will turn to high-level brightness at dusk, and turn off automatically at dawn. To return to the previous settings, turn off the wall switch in 3 seconds and then turn it on again. (See Fig.4 Fig.5) The lights will turn off automatically at dawn.

CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS:
Shut-off Delay
The Shut-off delay is the length of time the light will stay at high-level brightness after motion has ceased to be detected. This Shut-off delay can be set when operation is in 3, 6 or 0 Mode by using the “TIME” knob located on the left side of the panel at the back of the sensor lens (See Fig.5). To increase the shut-off delay, turn the knob clockwise. To decrease shut off delay, turn the knob counterclockwise. The delay may be adjusted from a minimum of 5 seconds to a maximum of 3 minutes. The light will stay on as long as motion is detected continuously and will automatically turn to low-level brightness when no more motion is detected after the delay time has passed.
Sensitivity of Motion Sensor The sensitivity of the motion sensor can be adjusted by using the “Sens” knob located on the right side of the panel at the back of sensor lens (See Fig.5). To increase sensitivity, turn the knob clockwise. To decrease sensitivity, turn the knob counterclockwise. The sensitivity may be adjusted from a minimum of 5 feet to a maximum of 40 feet.

NOTE:
1. The sensitivity of the motion sensor will increase as the environmental temperature gets cooler. For best performance, gently clean the lens with a soft cloth every 1 or 2 months to assure maximum sensitivity.
2. For best performance, install fixture at least 6 feet above the ground. At such a height, the fixture will provide a detection distance of up to 40 feet at 77 degrees fahrenheit. (See Fig.6)
3. The sensor detects across a detection range of 180 degrees (See Fig.7)
4. The sensor will be more sensitive to motion across its detection path than motion directly towards it. (See Fig.8)
5. To reduce possible nuisances, do not mount the fixture near a heat source like an air conditioner, vent or furnace exhaust, or in a direction facing any reflecting object or

Where you install your lantern is important: Be sure the light is mounted straight on the wall; otherwise, the detection distance may be limited.

Troubleshooting
—The light does not come on at all: 1. Make sure the wall switch and circuit breaker are on. 2. Make sure the wiring is correct. 3. Make sure the bulb is not burned out. 4. Cover the sensor with your palm to verify that the
ambient light level is not too high.

Sensor Least sensitivity

—-In Test Mode, the light stays on full brightness after 5 seconds: 1. If during daytime, make sure the slide switch is at the TEST position. 2. If motion continues to be detected.

Most sensitivity

—In 3H or 6H Mode, the light is still on full brightness, even though it has been 3 hours or 6 hours after dusk, respectively:
1. Make sure no motion could be picked up by the sensor. 2. Make sure that mode entry is not in manual override.

—After performing 3H or 6H Mode, the light stays on full brightness after 3 minutes: 1. Make sure there is no movement that could be picked up by the sensor. 2. Adjust the time knob counterclockwise to reduce the delay shut-off time.

—-In 3H or 6H Mode, the light turns off completely, instead of low level brightness, after 3 minutes: 1. Make sure the bulb you installed is a medium base bulb or LED dimmable bulb. 2. Make sure the bulb is in working condition. 3. Make sure the low level is not at the 0% position.

— The light blinks: 1. Make sure the light is not mounted near a barbecue, air conditioner or other heat source. 2. Adjust the sensitivity knob counterclockwise to avoid unnecessary triggering like a passing car or
reflecting objects. 3. Make sure the bulb is medium base bulb or LED dimmable bulb.
