Manual override function
If a mains switch is installed in the mains supply lead,
the light is capable of the following functions in add-
ition to the simple ON/OFF function:
Sensor operation

Malfunction
■ Fuse faulty, not switched
on, break in wiring
■ Short circuit
■ Fit new fuse, turn mains switch
on; check wiring with
voltage tester
■ Check connections
■ Twilight control set to night-time
mode during daytime operation
■ Bulb faulty
■ Mains switch OFF
■ Fuse faulty
■ Detection zone not properly
targeted
■ Internal electrical fuse
has been activated
(LED ON all the rime)
■ Re-adjust (control )
■ Change bulb
■ Switch on
■ Fit new fuse, check connection
if necessary
■ Re-adjust
■ Switch sensor light OFF and
back ON again after about
5 sec.
■ Continuous movement in the
detection zone
■ Set brightness control to 50%
■ Check detection zone and
re-adjust if necessary
■ Set brightness control to 0%
(control )
■ Wind is moving trees and
bushes in the detection zone
■ Cars in the street are being
detected
■ Sudden temperature changes
due to weather (wind, rain,
snow) or air expelled from
fans, open windows
■ Change detection zone
■ Change detection zone
■ Change detection zone,
change site of installation
■ Change in ambient
temperatures
■ Use shrouds to adjust detection
zone accurately
■ Internal fuse activated ■ Switch sensor light OFF and
back ON again after 5 sec.
Cause Remedy
Soft light start
The sensor light features a soft light start function.
This means that when turned ON, the light is not
switched directly to maximum output but gradually
builds up brightness to 100% within the space of a
second. Brightness is also gradually reduced when
the light is switched OFF.
Manual override
1) Select manual override:
Switch OFF and ON twice. The light will stay ON for
4 hours (red LED lights up behind the lens). Then it
returns automatically to sensor mode (red LED OFF).
2) Deactivate manual override:
Switch OFF and ON once. Light goes out or switches
to sensor mode.
Important:
The switch should be actuated in rapid succession
(in the 0.5 – 1 sec. range).
The SensorLight can be put into service after mount-
ing the sensor unit and connecting the light to the
mains power supply. The controls for adjusting

Reach setting / adjustment
The sensor has a maximum reach of 12 m. The
detection zone can be optimised to suit individual
needs. The shrouds provided are used for blanking
out any number of lens segments or to shorten reach
as required. This prevents the light from being activat-
ed unintentionally, e.g. by cars, passers-by etc. and

response threshold, time and brightness are pos-
itioned next to the bulb holder.
Twilight setting
(response threshold)
(factory setting:
daylight operation 2000 lux)
allows to you to target danger spots. The shrouds
can be divided or cut with a pair of scissors along the
vertical and horizontal grooves. Turning the sensor
unit permits final precision adjustment.
Sensor response threshold can be infinitely varied
from 2 – 2000 lux.
Control dial set to = daylight operation
approx. 2000 lux.
Control dial set to = twilight operation
approx. 2 lux. To adjust the detection zone in daylight,
set control dial to (daylight operation).
