Securing the light fitting to the wall
1. Isolate the lighting circuit to be used and remove the circuit fuse or
switch off the circuit breaker at the consumer unit (fig.1).
2. Remove any existing light fitting from the wall.
3. Unscrew the domed nuts and separate the back plate from the light
fitting. Gently pull the terminal block to separate from the back plate
(fig. 2).
4. Position the back plate in the desired location and check with a spirit
level that the straight sides are vertical. Using the back plate as a
guide, mark the positions of the holes for the fixing screws and supply
cable (fig. 3). Check that there are no buried cables and pipes at
these positions.
5. If fixing to a masonry wall, use a 6 mm masonry drill bit and drill fixing
holes to a depth of 32 mm and insert the wall plugs into the holes.

6. Using the point of a brad awl or screwdriver, make a small hole in the
centre of the cable grommet and feed the cable and insulation through
the grommet (fig. 4).
7. Check the fixing bolts are still in position, before securing the back
plate to the wall using the screws supplied (fig. 4).
8. Ensure that gasket is in position and make the electrical connections
(fig. 5) - see section ‘Connecting to the mains supply’.
9. Ensure that the gasket is fitted onto the rim of the back plate and refit
the terminal block. Carefully arrange wires into the back plate recess.
Align the holes in the mounting plate with the bolts and secure the
light fitting refitting the two domed cap nuts (fig. 6).
10. Fit a suitable bulb (not included) into the lantern (fig. 8 & 9) –see
section ‘Bulb replacement’.
11. Reconnect to the mains supply.
Note:
If fixing to timber surfaces, use a drill bit suitable for wood and do not
use the wall plugs.

Connecting to the mains supply
Connect this unit to a lighting circuit protected by a 5-Amp fuse or 6-
Amp miniature circuit breaker. If this unit is to be connected to a ring
main, a fused connection unit fitted with a 3-Amp fuse should be
installed.
The colours of current incoming UK supply cables should conform to
those shown below. If the cable colours differ or if tags are missing
from switched live (‘loop in’ wiring systems only), contact a qualified
electrician - do not try to identify the cables yourself. Colours
indicated in brackets are wiring colours used prior to April 2004.
Incoming cable should be connected into the terminal block as shown
below. Ensure that the incoming LIVE supply is connected opposite
the terminal marked ‘L’ and the incoming NEUTRAL supply should be
opposite terminal marked ‘N’.
When connecting cables ensure that there are no loose strands
coming out of the terminals. Ensure that all terminals are tightened
securely to prevent cable being easily / accidentally removed. All non-
fixed terminal blocks must be covered in two layers of electrical
insulation tape for added security.

Any existing mounting plate or rose must be removed before installing
this fitting. When installing, a ‘loop in’ wiring system may be
encountered. If these are encountered, the wires from the existing
rose or loop must be transferred to the terminal block as per the
diagram below. It is recommended that a qualified electrician carries
this out, only attempt to connect the fitting if electrically competent.
Notes
This product must be earthed – if no earth wire is available, consult an
electrician.
All existing earth cables must be connected to the earth terminal to
ensure earth continuity throughout your property.

1. Switch off the lantern and allow the fitting to cool completely.
2. Carefully unscrew the glass cover and place to one side (fig. 8).
Take care of the glass cover supplied, as replacements are not
available.
3. Remove (unscrew) any spent bulb and replace with one of the same
type (Max 60W E27 (Edison screw) GLS or 8 –10 W LED Energy
Saving bulb). Handle the new one carefully and screw in firmly,
taking care not to cross threads (fig. 9). Always use the same or
lower wattage bulb. Please use low energy bulbs where possible.
4. Refit the glass cover (fig. 9).

Motion detector range
The PIR detects heat or movement in a fan shaped arc of approximately
110˚ for a distance up to 7 metres. The detection distance will depend on
the installation height and the weather conditions. Each time movement is
detected the lamp will illuminate.
Activation time interval
The length of time that the lamp will illuminate can be set between 10
seconds and 5 minutes (from last time movement is detected). Adjust the
left hand control using a flat head screwdriver.
Turn knob fully anticlockwise for an activation time of 10 seconds
Turn knob to the midpoint for an activation time of approximately 2
minutes
Turn knob fully clockwise for an activation time of 5 minutes

Activation light level
The sensor can be set to activate whenever heat or movement is detected
(irrespective of daylight level) or only to operate in the hours of darkness.
Adjust the right hand control using a flat head screwdriver.
Turn knob fully anticlockwise for the sensor to operate in daylight.
Turn knob to the midpoint for sensor to operate at dusk.
Turn knob fully clockwise for the sensor to operate only in darkness
