Testing
• Ensure that the light switch is in the
‘OFF’ position.
• Slide down the front of the cover to expose
the security controls (See Figure 1).
• Turn the light level adjuster fully towards the
early symbol, and then turn the hours on dial
clockwise until the ‘LED window’ glows.
• Emulate darkness by covering the ‘Light sensing
window’, the light will automatically turn ON after
a period of up to two minutes.
• To revert to a normal light switch, turn the hours
on dial fully anti-clockwise, lining up the dot.

Setting up
• Ensure that the light switch is in the ‘OFF’ position.
• Slide down the front of the cover to expose the
security controls.
• Turn the hours on dial to indicate how many
hours you wish the light to remain on for,
and check the ‘LED window’ is glowing.
• Slide the cover back up.
• The security mode is now set and the light will
automatically turn on at dusk and remain on
for the number of hours you have selected.
This programme will repeat itself every 24 hours.
Note: If you wish to use the security switch
as a normal light switch simply turn the hours
on dial fully anticlockwise, lining up the dot.
If you then wish to use it as a security switch
again please follow the above instructions.

Adjustment
• If you find that the light switches on when it is
too dark, turn the light level adjuster towards
early and if the light is in operation when
it is too light turn the adjuster too late.
Notes:
• The security switch has a built-in delay function
to ensure that momentary changes in the light
do not switch it on.
• The hours shown on the dial are only approximate
guides, do not expect great accuracy.
• Once the switch has turned on and the programme
has turned OFF after the required number of hours,
it is important not to allow artificial light to fall on it,
followed by a period of darkness. This will fool
the switch into thinking it is dark again and it will
operate. Care should therefore be taken to prevent
light falling onto the switch, e.g. table lamps.
