FAQs
How do I adjust the sensitivity?
Use the remote control to adjust the sensitivity settings according to your needs. Higher sensitivity detects motion from further distances.
What is the detection range?
The detection range depends on the placement and settings of the sensor. Please refer to the user manual for more details.
Can I use this sensor with different types of lights?
Yes, it is compatible with incandescent bulbs up to 1200W and LED bulbs up to 300W.
Is the sensor weatherproof?
Yes, the sensor has an IP65 rating, making it suitable for outdoor use.
How do I change the time delay?
Use the remote control to adjust the time delay settings. This determines how long the lights stay on after motion is no longer detected.
What should I do if the lights flicker?
Check the wiring connections and ensure the bulbs are compatible with the sensor. Also, consider the power supply and if it is sufficient.
What does the "sun" and "moon" position mean?
The "sun" position allows the sensor to operate during the day and night. The "moon" position allows the sensor to operate in low-light environments (below 3 LX).
Troubleshooting
Sensor not detecting motion.
Check the sensor's position, ensuring it has a clear view of the area. Adjust the sensitivity settings if necessary.
Lights stay on constantly.
Check the time delay settings and ambient light settings. Ensure there's no continuous motion in the sensor's field of view.
Remote control not working.
Check the battery in the remote control. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the sensor.
