FAQs

What is the IP44 rating?

IP44 indicates that the device is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and against water spray from any direction, making it suitable for outdoor use.

Can I use LED bulbs with this sensor?

Yes, this sensor is compatible with both LED and standard light bulbs.

How do I adjust the sensitivity?

Use the adjustable lux control to adjust the sensitivity. A lower setting makes the sensor more sensitive to light, while a higher setting requires darker conditions to activate.

Where should I mount the sensor?

Mount the sensor in a location where it can accurately detect ambient light levels, away from other light sources.

What if the light doesn't turn off at dawn?

Ensure the sensor is not shaded and has a clear view of the sky. Check that the lux control is not set too low. Verify the wiring connections.

How do I clean the sensor?

Gently wipe the sensor surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on at dusk.

Check the wiring connections to ensure they are secure and correctly connected. Verify that the lux control is set to a sensitive level. Make sure there are no obstructions blocking the sensor's view of the sky.

Light turns on during the day.

Check if the sensor is located near any bright light sources, such as streetlights. Adjust the lux control to a less sensitive setting.

Light flickers or turns on and off erratically.

Check the light bulb for compatibility and proper function. Examine the wiring for any loose connections or damage.
