FAQs
Is this motion detector waterproof?
It is rated IP44, which means it is protected against water splashes and is suitable for outdoor use, but it should not be submerged in water.
Can I install this myself?
The device requires hardwiring into your mains power. If you are not comfortable or experienced with electrical installation, please hire a qualified electrician.
What is the detection range?
The detector has a range of up to 12 meters with a 180-degree field of view.
Can I adjust how long the light stays on?
Yes, there is an adjustable timer that allows you to set the duration from 10 seconds to 7 minutes.
Does it work during the day?
The LUX setting can be adjusted. If set to a high LUX value, it can trigger during the day, though it is typically configured for evening use.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on when motion occurs
Check the LUX setting; if it is set too low, the sensor may think it is bright enough that lighting is unnecessary. Also, verify the wiring connections.
Light stays on continuously
Ensure the timing dial is not set to its maximum position and confirm that there are no heat sources (like exhaust vents or swaying branches) triggering the sensor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety, as the unit operates on 220-240V mains power. Ensure the unit is mounted at a height between 1.8m and 2.5m for optimal detection accuracy. Use the provided corner mount if necessary to secure the device to an external corner of your property. For maintenance, wipe the lens periodically with a dry, lint-free cloth to ensure the infrared sensor remains unobstructed by dust or spiderwebs. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can cloud the protective sensor cover and degrade the IP44 weather seal.
