secure it by pressing the clips from both top and bottom sides. (See Fig.1 & Fig.2) Repeat with other panels.
7.
8. Attach fixture to the wall by aligning headless screws on mounting plate with holes on back plate. Slide
headless screws through holes and secure with two bolt nuts and rubber pads.
9. With silicone caulking compound, caulk completely around where the back plate meets with the wall surface.
Note: Be sure to caulk completely where the back plate meets the wall surface to prevent water
from seeping into the outlet box.
10.Install a bulb (not included). Check relamping label at socket area or packaging for maximum allowed wattage.
11. Attach the metal frame onto the fixture and tighten it with samll bolt nuts and samll rubber pads.
Pull out the wires and grounding wire from the outlet box. Make wire connections using the wire nuts as
follows:
---Connect the hot wire (usually black insulation) from the fixture to the black wire from the power source.
---Connect the neutral wire (usually white insulation) from the fixture to the white wire from the power source.
---Attach the fixture grounding wire (usually green insulation or bare wire) to the mounting plate with the green
grounding screw, and then connect it to the house grounding wire with the wire nut.

Function and Operation
MODES OF OPERATION
Choose a mode by sliding the switch on the bottom of the back plate of the fixture. (See Fig.3 ).
When power is first applied, the light will turn to high level brightness, wait for 15 seconds to allow the sensor to warm up.
1. TEST MODE (daytime and nighttime operation)
● The light will turn to low-level brightness (0%~50% brightness). The light will turn to high-level brightness (100%
brightness) when motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion is continuing. The light will revert to
low-level brightness about 5 seconds after motion is no longer detected.
2. 3H MODE (nighttime operation only)
●At dusk, the light will turn to high-level brightness (100% brightness). The light will turn to low-level brightness (0%
~50% brightness) automatically after 3 hours. The light will turn to high-level brightness (100% brightness) when
motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion is continuing. When motion is no longer detected, the light
will remain on for the predetermined time you set (5~180 seconds), and then revert to low-level brightness you set.
● Light will turn off automatically at dawn, and return to 3 H mode at dusk.
3. 6H MODE (nighttime operation only)
●At dusk, the light will turn to high-level brightness (100% brightness). The light will turn to low-level brightness (0%
~50% brightness) automatically after 6 hours. The light will turn to high-level brightness (100% brightness) when
motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion is continuing. When motion is no longer detected, the light
will remain on for the predetermined time you set (5~180 seconds), and then revert to low-level brightness you set
● Light will turn off automatically at dawn, and return to 6 H mode at dusk.
4. 0 MODE (nighttime operation only)
● The light will turn to low level brightness (0%~50% brightness) at dusk. The light will turn to high-level brightness
(100% brightness) when motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion is continuing. When motion is no
longer detected, the light will remain on for the predetermined time you set (5~180 seconds), and then revert to
low level brightness you set.
● Light will turn off automatically at dawn, and return to 0 H mode at dusk.
5.Manual Override MODE (nighttime operation only; on at dusk,off at dawn)
● In 3, 6 or 0 mode, to shift to manual override mode, turn off the wall switch in 3 seconds and then turn it on again,
the light will turn to high-level brightness at dusk, and turn off automatically at dawn. To return to the previous
settings, turn off the wall switch in 3 seconds and then turn it on again. (See Fig.1)
● The lights will turn off automatically at dawn.
Note:You can adjust the low level brightness (0~50%) by using the slide switch on the side of back plate.
(See Fig.2)

CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS:
Shut-off Delay
The Shut-off delay is the length of time the light will stay at high-
level brightness after motion has ceased to be detected. This
Shut-off delay can be set when operation is in 3, 6 or 0 Mode by
using the “TIME” knob located on the left side of the panel at the
bottom of the back plate (See Fig.3) . To increase the shut-off
delay, turn the knob clockwise. To decrease shut off delay, turn
the knob counterclockwise. The delay may be adjusted from a minimum of 5 seconds to a maximum of 3 minutes. The
light will stay on as long as motion is detected continuously and will automatically turn to low-level brightness when no
more motion is detected after the delay time has passed.
Sensitivity of Motion Sensor
The sensitivity of the motion sensor can be adjusted by using the “SENSITIVITY” knob located on the right side of the
panel at the bottom of the back plate (See Fig.3). To increase sensitivity, turn the knob clockwise. To decrease
sensitivity, turn the knob counterclockwise. The sensitivity may be adjusted from a minimum of 5 feet to a maximum of
40 feet.
NOTE:
1. The sensitivity of the motion sensor will increase as the
environmental temperature gets cooler. For best
performance, gently clean the lens with a soft cloth every
1 or 2 months to assure maximum sensitivity.
2. For best performance, install fixture at least 6-1/2 feet above
the ground. At such a height, the fixture will provide a
detection distance of up to 35 feet at 77 degrees
Fahrenheit. (See Fig.4)
3. The sensor detects across a detection range of 220 degrees.
(See Fig.5)
4. The sensor will be more sensitive to motion across its
detection path than motion directly towards it. (See Fig.6)
5. To reduce possible nuisances, do not mount the fixture
near a heat source like an air conditioner, vent or furnace
exhaust, or in a direction facing any reflecting object or
other light source.
Where you install your lantern is important:
Be sure the light is mounted straight on the wall;
otherwise, the detection distance may be limited.
