█HOW TO DETERMINE WHERE TO MOUNT
YOUR SOLAR PIR SENSOR LIGHT
Please be noted that: DIRECT SUNLIGHT is
important for the operation of SOLAR PIR SENSOR
LIGHT. The more direct sunlight the solar cell
receives in daytime, the longer the light will operate.
■Main Unit:
The main unit contains the lamp (12pcs 0. 5W LED),
motion sensor and battery (18650 Lithium
Rechargeable battery, 3.7V, 2200mAh). When
determining where to mount this unit, please consider
that the motion sensor with detection scope of
max.6meters (in front of the light) and about 130º
(horizontal) at 25℃ambient temperature.
To mount the unit vertically as a security light, attach
the unit to a solid surface as shown in figure. Use the
two screws provided in the package (#7 on parts list).
■Solar Cell:
The solar cell is the main power source for the
SOLAR PIR SENSOR LIGHT. It converts the
sunlight’s energy into electricity that charges the
battery in main unit. It requires DIRECT SUNLIGHT
onto the surface of solar cell for as long as possible
during the daytime.
Use the four screws provided in the package (#3 on
parts list) to mount the solar cell unit onto a solid
surface. Make sure it is fixed into the solid surface.
You can adjust the angle of the solar cell by moving
the adjustment bracket to the appropriate hook on the
mounting base. It should face as much DIRECT
SUNLIGHT as possible during the daytime.
At last route the solar cell’s power cord to the main
unit and plug it into the side hole for solar cell.
Important: if the main unit is mounted horizontally, it
must be mounted in a covered area so rain water can
not get into the unit through the exposed vents.
█FINAL ADJUSTMENT AND START-UP
After you successfully installed your SOLAR PIR
SENSOR LIGHT, you are almost ready for carefree
operation with a few final steps:
Initial 3-days Charge:
On the main unit there is a switch with 2 positions:
●OFF ●ON
ON —
Position for normal operation
OFF ---
1) Position for delivery or long periods of non-use
2) Position for initial 3-days charge before first
adjustment and use.
Then, turn the slide switch to OFF position. The solar
cell will charge the battery without activating the unit.

Leave the switch in this position for 3 sunny days to
ensure that the battery has a full charge for motion
sensor adjustment and normal operation.
█HOW TO ADJUST THE MOTION SENSOR
After the initial 3-days charge, turn the switch to
AUTO position.
On the motion sensor there are threes adjusting
knobs: TIME / SENS / LUX
1) TIME --- Duration time: For how long you wish the
light to run after motion is detected in the field, the
duration time is from 10 seconds to 1 minute
adjustable.
Note: Once the light is activated by the PIR sensor,
any subsequent detection will restart the timed period
again from the beginning.
2) SENS –Sensitivity adjustment: The sensitivity of
motion sensor can be affected by environmental
temperature. The more sensitivity will be for PIR
sensor in the lower environmental temperature. So
you can adjust the SENS knob to compensate the
change of sensitivity affected by environment
temperature.
3) LUX –Lux control level: The Lux control module
has a built-in sensing device (photocell) that
detects daylight and darkness. (☼)position
denotes that the loading will be turned on by PIR
during day and night, () position denotes that the
loading will be turned on by PIR only at night. You
can set desired level to run the unit the by adjusting
the LUX knob.
Note: If, in daily position, the unit turns on when it
is too light outside, turn the control towards ().
however, if the light is not activating during
nighttime because of a street light or bright house
light, turn this control towards (☼).
Walking-test:
Point the motion sensor to face the area you want to
detect motion in and set the TIME knob to minimum (-)
position and LUX knob to “light” (☼) position. Walking
slowly in its detection area, the sensor can detects
moving invisible infra-red radiation given off by a
human body and then turn on the light. Test the
coverage of the area by walking slowly around until
not to switch on the light.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE LAMP HOUSING:
Point the lamp housing to face the area you wish to
illuminate.
█BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Caution: When replacing the battery, the slide switch
on the main unit must be in the OFF position.
The battery in your SOLAR PIR SENSOR LIGHT is
designed to last for about 1 year. When it becomes
necessary to replace the battery, you can obtain a
replacement from your distributor.
The old battery can be replaced by first removing the
screws on the main unit which hold the main unit on
the wall mounting cover. Carefully replace the
batteries in the battery box. Carefully remove the
battery from its compartment and replace by reversing
this procedure.
(Caution: Make sure the (+) and (-) are attached
correctly to the appropriate (+) and (-) battery
terminals. Serious damage to the unit may result if
they are connected backwards.)
It is important to dispose of the battery in an
environmentally conscious manner. Dispose of
according to applicable governmental regulations.

█GENERAL ELECTRICAL AND SAFETY
WARNINGS
1) The ON/OFF switch on the main unit must be in the
OFF position when changing the battery.
2) Do not cut the solar cell wire. Discontinue use if the
wire becomes frayed or broken.
3) Do not immerse components in liquid.
4) Do not use any other charge than the single solar
charging panel provided with the SOLAR PIR
SENSOR LIGHT. This may result in injury or
damage to the light and voids any warranty.
5) Position so that the cord is securely fastened and
will not result in a hazard (such as tripping).
6) When changing the battery, be careful of any sharp
edges that could cut you or the wires. Do not pull
on wires.
█CLEANING
It is important that the solar panel is kept free of dirt
and debris. A dirty solar panel will not allow the battery
to fully charge and this will shorten the life of battery
and cause the light to malfunction
█STORAGE
If you wish to store your light indoors for more than
two or three days, follow these steps to prevent
damage to battery:
1. Turn the switch to OFF position
2. Store the light and solar panel where it can
receive some sunlight or room light each day. The
battery needs light to maintain a charge during
storage
3. During prolonged storage, unit must be fully
charge once every four months, for best
performance, do not store for prolonged periods.
█NOTE THE FOLLOWING TROUBLE-
SHOOTING:
1. Symptom: Light won’t activate in normal
operation.
Correction: make sure that:
1) The main unit switch is the ON position.
2) The Lux control is not set too far toward ()
3) The solar cell is angled so that it gets plenty of
direct sunlight for most of day, if not the entire day.
4) Battery charge is not too low (charge for 3 sunny
days—switch turned to OFF)
2. Symptom: Light turns on during the day.
Correction: Make sure that
1) The Lux control is not set too far toward (☼)
3. Symptom: Light quickly flashes on and off
Correction:
1) Low battery (charge for 3 sunny days—switch
turned to OFF).
4. Symptom: Light is not as bright as normal.
Correction:
1) Low battery (charge for 3 sunny days—switch
turned to OFF).
