Troubleshooting
Motion detector not turning on lights
Verify the power connection to the detector and the connected lights. Check if the ambient light setting (lux level) is set too high, preventing activation during daylight. Ensure the connected load does not exceed the 800W maximum switching power.
Lights do not turn off
Check the adjustable time setting; it may be set to the maximum duration. Ensure there are no persistent sources of movement within the detection zone that might be keeping the sensor active.
False activations
Adjust the sensor's position and angle to avoid areas with frequent irrelevant motion (e.g., moving branches, passing cars if too close). Reduce the sensitivity if adjustable and not covered by this basic model.
Reduced detection range
Ensure the sensor lens is clean and unobstructed. Verify the installation height is within the recommended 2.5-3 meter range. Check for any physical obstructions that may have appeared in the detection path.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a wired device requiring connection to a 230V AC power supply. It is designed for wall mounting at a height between 2.5 and 3 meters. Ensure the power is switched off before making any electrical connections. The sensor can be adjusted manually for optimal coverage after installation. Consult the product manual for detailed wiring diagrams and mounting instructions.
Compatibility: The detector is compatible with AC voltage (230V, 50-60Hz) and can control loads up to 800W. It is suitable for use with standard wired lighting circuits.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, periodically clean the sensor lens with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the unit remains free of dust and debris, especially if installed in a semi-exposed location.
