WARNING!
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of the rechargeable
batteries can cause an explosion or a fire.
− Only expose the solar panel to direct
sunlight. Never expose the rechargeable
batteries to direct sunlight.
Before you can use the product, you must fully charge the
rechargeable batteries. If there is sufficient sunlight on the
solar panel, this usually takes 6–8 hours.
1. Insert the plug 14 into the charging slot 9.
2. Expose the solar panel 15 to direct sunlight. To achieve
quick and optimal charging, place the solar panel in a
place where it can absorb as much sunlight as possible.
Positioning it so that it is south-facing and therefore
exposed to direct sunlight is the best way of achieving this.

First use
17
Selecting the installation location
Ideal installation location for the product
Motion sensors are electronic sensors that recognise
movement in their environment and work as electrical
switches, responding to this movement. Heat sources are
sensed using the lens. If a heat source in the product’s sensor
area changes or moves, the product will switch on for the
preconfigured time. In order to ensure that the product
functions optimally, please note the following requirements:
• Affix the product to a stable, vibration-free wall.
• Choose a location for installation that is protected against
wind and rain (e.g. under the eaves of a roof). The
installation surface must be free from shocks or vibrations.
• To avoid unwanted triggering of the motion sensor, no
moving objects such as trees or bushes should be in the
range of the motion sensor. If the sensor’s range is on a
street, vehicles driving past may switch the spotlight on
unintentionally.
• To avoid disturbing the proper functioning of the spot
light, the motion sensor should be protected against
direct sunlight and from light from halogen lamps or light-
reflective surfaces such as swimming pools or ponds.
• Only intended for installation outside arm’s length:
The optimum height for installation is approx. 2–2.5m or
above. If the product is installed lower than this, the sensor
area may be reduced (see Fig.G).
• The spotlight works best if the sensor area of the motion
sensor is crossed horizontally. As far as possible, install the
motion sensor in such a way that the main direction of
approach is not straight in front of the sensor.

Assembly
18
Ideal installation location for the solar panel
The solar panel is the main source of current for the product.
It absorbs sunlight, converts it into electricity and then uses
this to charge the rechargeable batteries. The longer the
solar panel is subjected to direct sunlight, the quicker the
rechargeable batteries will charge. In order to ensure that
the product functions optimally, please note the following
requirements:
• Position the solar panel 15 in a place where it can
absorb as much sunlight as possible throughout the day.
Positioning it so that it is exposed to direct sunlight is the
best way of achieving this.
• Avoid shade of any kind and ensure that it is not covered
(e.g. by dirt, foliage or snow).
• Do not mount the solar panel behind a pane of glass, as
this will filter out infrared rays necessary to charge the
rechargeable batteries.
• When choosing an installation location, note the length of
the charging cable (3m).
Assembly
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock!
Improper installation may result in an
electric shock.
− Ensure that there are no cables or
other electrical lines behind the location
where the spotlight is attached.

Assembly
19
To avoid triggering the product unintentionally,
the product must be installed firmly. If the product
moves, this has the same effect as moving heat
sources in the sensor area.
Mounting the spot light
1. Choose a suitable surface for installation (see chapter
section “Selecting the installation location”).
2. Remove the rear panel 8from the spotlight 7by
unscrewing the fixing screw 6.

3. Hold the wall bracket on the installation surface and mark
the three locations for fastening.
4. Drill two holes into the wall using a drill 19 and insert the
wall plugs 17 .
5. Screw the wall bracket to the fastening points with the
screws 18 as based on the properties of the installation
surface (see Fig.C). Use a cross-head screwdriver 20 for
this purpose. Do not apply excessive force in the process.
6. Slide the solar panel 15 and back cover from above
onto the wall bracket until you hear it click into place
(see Fig.C).
7. Completely unfold the charging cable and insert the
plug 14 into the charging slot 9on the spotlight 7.
Operation
Configuring the sensor area
1. If necessary, turn the motion sensor housing 10 to reach
the SENS controller 3.
2. Select the required sensor area:
− Turning the SENS controller clockwise increases the
sensor area range and the motion sensor will already
react from a distance of approx. 12 m.
− Turning the SENS controller anticlockwise decreases
the sensor area range. With the lowest setting, the
motion sensor only reacts starting at a distance of
approx. 1 m.
To further adjust the sensor area, turn the motion sensor
housing 10 . The motion sensor housing can be turned by 90°
(see Fig.D). The sensor angle of approx. 110° (+/-10°) does not
change in the process.

Operation
21
− Select the required sensor area by turning the motion
sensor housing.
Setting the lighting duration
1. If necessary, turn the motion sensor housing 10 to reach
the TIME controller 4.
2. Select the desired lighting duration between approx.
10 and 60 seconds by turning the controller in the
corresponding direction:
− Turning the TIME controller clockwise increases the
lighting duration.
− Turning the TIME controller anticlockwise decreases
the lighting duration.
Setting the sensitivity
You can specify at what brightness (e.g. from dusk) the motion
sensor reacts and switches on the product.
1. If necessary, turn the motion sensor housing 10 to reach
the LUX controller 2.
2. Choose the desired sensitivity by turning the controller in
the corresponding direction:
− Turning the controller clockwise increases the
sensitivity so that the motion sensor 11 will react
even in a bright environment. If the controller is on the
sun symbol, the motion sensor reacts 24 hours a day,
regardless of the ambient light.
− Turning the controller anticlockwise decreases the
sensitivity so that the motion sensor will only react in a
darker environment. If the controller is on the crescent
moon symbol, the motion sensor only reacts when it is
night.

Switching the product on and off
22
• Whether the motion sensor reacts depends on
the speed at which the object is moving.
The sensor will not react to movements that
are too fast or too slow.
• Electrical sensors are more sensitive in cold,
dry weather conditions than in warm, humid
climates.
Adjusting the spotlight heads
You can rotate the spotlight heads 12 90° to the left and to
right. You can also move each of the spotlight heads approx.
60° downwards and approx. 90° upwards (see Fig.E).
− If necessary, remove the tab 1if you want to align the
two spotlight heads individually. Then align the spotlight
heads as you like (see Fig.F).
Aligning the solar panel
