VAXCEL T0435 Motion Sensor Dusk to Dawn Outdoor Wall Light
Product Information:
The product is a fixture with a sensor that provides
illumination. It requires a 120V AC, 60 Hz power source and is
compatible with most LED dimmable bulbs. The fixture is
energy-saving and can be used for both dim-illumination and off/on
illumination.
Product Usage Instructions:
- Before installation, consult local electrical codes for wiring
and grounding requirements. - Read all instructions carefully before installation and
operation. - If you are not familiar with state and local electrical codes,
it is recommended that you consult with a qualified
electrician. - Before installation, shut off power at the main fuse or circuit
breaker box. Simply turning off the wall switch is not sufficient
to prevent an electrical shock. - Unscrew the two bolt nuts (D), remove the two rubber pads (E),
and the cross bar unit (A) from the backplate. - Attach the cross bar unit (A) to the outlet box using two
mounting screws (B). Adjust the length of the preinstalled headless
screws if necessary. - Attach the backplate of the fixture to the cross bar unit (A)
by inserting headless screws into set holes on the backplate.
Secure it with two rubber pads (E) and two bolt nuts (D). - Use silicone caulk compound to caulk completely around where
the backplate meets with the wall surface to prevent water from
seeping into the outlet box. - Install the bulb (not included). Check the relamping label at
the socket area or packaging for the maximum wattage allowed. - Turn on the power at the fuse or circuit box.
- To adjust the settings of the sensor, rotate the sensor lens
from left to right to show the adjustable knobs and slide
switch. - Use the adjustable knobs and slide switch to set the time, low
level, and sensitivity of the sensor according to your
preference. - Use a small slotted screwdriver (not included) if necessary to
make adjustments.
Refer to Fig.1, Fig.2, and Fig.3 in the user manual for visual
references on the position of the control panel and the adjustable
knobs.

Important to Know
1. Read all instructions carefully before installation and operation.
2. If you are not familiar with state and local electrical codes, it is recommended that you consult with a qualified electrician.
3. Before installation, shut off power at the main fuse or circuit breaker box. Be aware that simply turning off the wall switch is not sufficient to prevent an electrical shock.
4. This fixture requires a 120V AC, 60 Hz power source. 5. Do not attempt to take the lantern apart; there are no
serviceable parts inside. 6. To avoid sensor damage by lightning or electrical surge,
make sure the ground wire is securely connected. 7. For general safety and to avoid any possible damage to
the sensor, be sure the power is switched “off” before replacing the bulb. 8. Compatible with most LED dimmable bulbs.
Maximum Wattage: 60W Bulb Work Temperature: – 22°F~104°F
Features
1. Energy saving fixture. 2. Use dim-to-full brightness where dim-illumination
is preferred, such as your front entrance. Use off-to-full brightness where off/on illumination is preferred, such as your backyard. 3. When in manual override mode, use wall switch to keep the light ON till dawn.

Installation Steps
Turn off the power at fuse or circuit box
1. Unscrew the two bolt nuts (D), remove the two rubber pads (E) and the cross bar unit (A) from the backplate.
2. Attach the cross bar unit (A) to the outlet box by using two mounting screws (B). Adjust the length of the preinstalled headless screws if necessary. Note: Make sure that the headless screws are lined up horizontally to make the fixture level.
3. Pull out the source wires from the outlet box. Make wire connections using wire connectors (C) as follows: · Connect the hot wire (usually black insulation) from the fixture to the black wire from the power source. · Connect the neutral wire (usually white insulation) from the fixture to the white wire from the power source. · Attach the fixture ground wire (usually green insulation or bare wire) to the cross bar unit (A) with the green ground screw. Then, depending on local code, then connect it to the house ground wire with the wire connector (C). Carefully put all of the wires back into the outlet box.
4. Attach the backplate of the fixture to the cross bar unit (A) by inserting headless screws into set holes on the backplate, then secure it with two rubber pads (E) and two bolt nuts (D). Note: With silicone caulk compound, caulk completely around where the backplate meets with the wall surface to prevent water from seeping into the outlet box.
5. Install the bulb (not included). Check relamping label at socket area or packaging for maximum wattage allowed.
Turn on the power at fuse or circuit box.

Function and Operation
MODES OF OPERATION
Choose a mode by sliding the slide switch. The light will turn on immediately when power is applied. 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%).The light will turn to high-level brightness (full brightness) when
motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion continues. The light will turn to the low-level brightness you set after 5 seconds when motion is no longer detected.
2. OFF MODE (nighttime operation only) · At dusk, the light stays off and will turn to high-level brightness (full brightness) when motion is detected, and stay on
as long as the motion continues. When the motion stops, the light will stay on for the predetermined time set (5 ~ 180 seconds), then the light will turn off automatically.
3. AUTO MODE (nighttime operation only) · At dusk, the light will turn to low-level brightness (0~50%). The light will turn to high-level brightness (full brightness)
when motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion continues. When the motion stops, the light will remain on for the predetermined time set (5~180 seconds), and then turn to the low-level brightness you set. · The light will turn off automatically at dawn.
4. PC MODE (nighttime operation only) · The light will turn on (full brightness) automatically at dusk and turn off automatically at dawn.
5. Manual Override MODE (nighttime operation only) · To shift to the manual override mode, set the switch to “OFF” or “AUTO” Fig. 4
mode. Turn the wall switch “OFF” and then turn it “ON” within 3

Note: 1. The low level brightness can be adjusted from 0 to 50% by
rotating “LOW LEVEL” knob. (See Fig.5)
2. Always keep the wall switch in the “ON” position (including the daytime).
3. Please notice the warm up time is 30 seconds, any operations are invalid during this time.
Customization Options Shut-off Delay
1. The Shut-off delay is the length of time that the light will stay in high-level brightness after motion stops.
2. The Shut-off delay can be adjusted by using the “TIME” knob when the slide switch is set in “OFF” or “AUTO” mode.
3. The range of shut-off delay is 5 seconds to 3 minutes. 4. Rotate the knob clockwise for increasing the shut-off delay. 5. Rotate the knob counterclockwise for decreasing the shut-off delay.

NOTE:
1. The sensitivity of the motion sensor will increase as the environmental temperature gets colder. For best performance, gently clean the lens with a soft cloth every 1 or 2 months to ensure maximum sensitivity.
2. When installed at a height of 6.5 feet, at 77 degrees Fahrenheit the light will provide a maximum detection distance of 40 feet and detection range of 180 degrees. (See Fig.6 Fig.7)
3. The sensor will be more sensitive to motion across its detection path than motion directly towards it. (See Fig.8)
4. To reduce possible interferences, 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 other light source.
Where you install your lantern is important: Be sure the light is mounted straight on the wall; otherwise, the detection distance may be limited.
