1. Safety Precautions:
Before starting, ensure the power supply is turned off to avoid any electrical hazards.
2. Confirm Grounding:
Verify that the motion flood light is properly grounded. This ensures safe and reliable operation.
3. Mount the Light:
a. Wall Mount: For wall-mounted lights, use the provided brackets or mounting screws to securely attach the light to a solid surface like a wall or eave.
b. Stand Mount: For pole or stand-mounted lights, install the light fixture according to the manufacturer's instructions.
4. Adjust the Motion Sensor:
Locate the motion sensor, usually a small, rounded device on the light fixture. Some lights may have separate sensors and floodlights.
a. Sensitivity: Adjust the sensitivity knob or dial on the sensor. Turning the knob clockwise increases the sensitivity, making the sensor more responsive to movement.
b. Time Setting: Adjust the time setting dial or knob to determine how long the light stays on after detecting motion.
5. Adjust the Floodlight:
a. Direction: Loosen the screws or adjustment mechanisms that hold the floodlight in place. This allows you to move the light in different directions.
b. Tilt: Adjust the tilt angle to direct the light where needed. Make sure to aim the light away from sensitive areas like windows to avoid glare.
c. Secure: Once you have the desired direction, tighten the adjustment screws to secure the floodlight in place.
6. Test:
Turn on the power supply and activate the motion sensor. Walk or move around the desired detection area to ensure the light turns on and off as intended.
7. Final Adjustments:
Fine-tune the motion sensor sensitivity and duration settings as necessary. It may take a few trials to achieve the optimal motion-activation range.
Remember that different motion flood light models may have variations in their adjustment mechanisms and features. Consult the manufacturer's manual or product documentation for specific instructions related to your light fixture.
