Carefully and without touching the glass of the bulb fit the halogen bulb
ensuring you secure the floodlight glass cover afterwards.
NOTE: Halogen bulbs get very hot and contamination from your skin can
cause the glass to break during operation.
We recommend positioning the unit bet ween 3m and 4m on a sound wall
and angled towards the area of interest so that most traffic crosses the
PIR zones and triggers your SLDC2 to start recording.
Good results can also be obtained by positioning the SLDC2 higher and
facing down to the area of interest
See the section SLDC2 mounting and the movement sensor for details.
You can replace an existing outside light or undertake a new installation.

B. Connect the mains supply.
Your SLDC2 requires mains power which should already be in place, i f
not you will need to arrange for a competent and qualified person to
install the necessary cabling.
We recommend you use a switched circuit and that power is turned off
during installation.
Observe correct wiring
failure to do so will damage the unit and will
invalidate your warranty.

Page No. 11 SLDC2 User Guide Issue 1.0
C. Set the time and date
Tu rn on the power. The floodlight will come on for a short time. The LED
will flash rapidly as the SLDC2 arms. When this flashing stops, the SLDC2
will be ready to record when ever movement is detected
day or night.
Try to return to your SLDC2 without triggering the motion sensor .
