SECTION TWO
INSTALLATION
After choosing a suitable location (see previous section) install the unit as follows:
The unit is suitable for connection to a 240 V ac 50Hz electricity supply. It is suggested that
3-core round flexible cable of 1mm² gauge is used. An internal switch should be installed to
switch the power to the unit ON & OFF. This allows the unit to be easily switched off when not
required or for maintenance purposes.
Remove the top cover from the baseplate as follows:-
Diagram B. Using a small flat blade terminal screwdriver so as not to damage the clip, carefully
prise the lower clip off its locating rib on the base plate. The lower edge of the lantern cover will
now be partially released
Diagram C. There are two locating clips on either side of the lantern, carefully prise the sides of
the front cover away from the baseplate and the lantern cover will be further released.
Diagram D. Finally lift the front cover upwards and away from the base, there is a locating rib in
the top cover which fits into a groove on the base.
Store the front cover safely until installation is complete.
Using the back plate as a template drill two holes. Insert the rawl plugs into the holes. Diagram E.

SECTION THREE
OPERATION AND TESTING
SETTING UP FOR AUTOMATIC OPERATION
The adjustment controls on the unit (diagram A) should be set as follows.
The TIME control determines how long the lamp remains illuminated after activation.
There are 5 designated “time on” settings O (or off), 2, 4, 6, 8 hours and dusk/dawn.
These settings allow the lamp to illuminate for the designated time on period after darkness falls
and the unit is activated.
If you require the lamp to be illuminated all night, set the time control fully clockwise to
“Dusk/Dawn”. The unit will then remain on until the following morning when the lux level
increases enough to switch the unit off during the day.
The DUSK (LUX) control determines the level of darkness required for the unit to start
operating.
The setting is best achieved by the procedure below:
Set the DUSK control knob fully anti-clockwise and the Time control to the required
number of hours or dusk/dawn (do not leave in the O (off, fully anti-clockwise) position).
Wait until darkness falls.
When the ambient light level reaches the level of darkness at which you wish the lamp to
become operative (ie. At dusk), SLOWLY rotate the control in a clockwise direction until a point
is reached where the lamp illuminates. Leave the control set at this point.
At this position, the unit should become operative at approximately the same level of darkness
each evening. Observe the operation of the unit. If the unit is starting to operate too early (ie.
when it is quite light), adjust the control slightly anti-clockwise. If the unit starts to operate too
late (ie. only when it is very dark), adjust the control slightly clockwise.
Continue to adjust until the unit operates as desired.
MANUAL OVERRIDE MODE
The light can be switched on for longer time periods by use of the Manual Override Mode.
This can be activated at night by using the internal wall switch or circuit breaker supplying the
unit.
Please note:- The unit CANNOT be operated in Manual Override Mode during daylight hours. If
you want to test this function when installing the unit, this test must be carried out after dusk
when the unit has become operational.
To activate Manual Override Mode:-
Switch the internal wall switch/circuit breaker once (off/on) within 1 second.
The unit will now illuminate continuously until dawn or until it is switched back into Auto Mode.
To de-activate Manual Override Mode (ie. switch the unit back into Auto Mode):-
Switch the internal wall switch/circuit breaker once (off/on) within one second. The unit will
return to its Auto mode and will operate as set up initially.

Remove the cover from the terminal block. Diagram D.
PIERCE & PASS THE CABLE THROUGH THE GROMMET BEFORE PROCEEDING.
It is recommended that the grommet is pierced with a screwdriver to ensure a better seal.
Allow approximately 50mm of cable to pass through the grommet.
Fit the grommet into its location, ensuring a good seal.
Fix the mounting plate to the wall. Take care not to overtighten the screws to prevent damage
to the mounting plate. If using a power screwdriver, use the lowest torque setting.
CONNECTION
Connect the cable to the terminal block on the unit as follows (see connection diagram):
NEUTRAL (Blue) N
EARTH (Green/Yellow)
LIVE (Brown) L
Ensure that the connections are secure.
Install the lamp.
Ensure no wires are trapped.
Refit the terminal block cover and front cover (reversal of removal) ensuring all clips are firmly
located.

SECTION FIVE
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
PROBLEM
❏The sensor will not
operate at night.
❏Unit activates during the
daytime.
SOLUTION
The level of ambient light in the area may be too bright to
allow operation at the current DUSK setting. During the hours
of darkness, adjust the DUSK control slowly clockwise until the
lamp illuminates. Refer to previous section for more details.
Adjust the setting anti-clockwise to lower the level of ambient
light required for activation.
