Cause Remedy
Manual override function
If a mains switch is installed in the mains supply lead,
the SensorLight provides the following functions in addi-
tion to just being able to switch it 'ON' and OFF:
Sensor operation
1) Switch light ON:
Turn switch 'OFF' and 'ON' once.
Light stays 'ON' for the period selected.
2) Switch light OFF:
Turn switch 'OFF' and 'ON' once.
The light goes out or switches over to sensor mode.
Manual override
1) Activate manual override:
Turn switch 'OFF' and 'ON' twice. The light is set to stay
'ON' for 4 hours (red LED lights up). Then it returns
automatically to sensor mode (red LED 'OFF').
2) Deactivate manual override:
Turn switch 'OFF' and 'ON' once. The light goes out or
switches over to sensor mode.
Important:
The switch should be actuated in rapid succession
(in the 0.5 – 1 sec. range).
Reset function
The light can be returned to its original settings at any
time (daylight operation 2000 lux, 'ON' time 5 sec-
onds and basic lighting level 'OFF').
To do this, hold all three buttons down at the same
time until the LED comes 'ON' and goes out again
(approx. 5 sec.).
Soft light start
The SensorLight features a soft light start function.
This means that when the light is switched 'ON', it
does not go directly to maximum output but gradually
increases brightness to 100 % over the space of one
second. Brightness is also gradually reduced when
the light is switched 'OFF'.
Basic reach setting
The sensor lens is divided into two detection zones.
One half provides a max. reach of 5 m, the other half
a max. reach of 12 m (when installed at a height of
approx. 2 m). After fitting the lens (firmly clip lens into
the groove provided), a small arrow marks the max.
reach of 12 m or 5 m selected (arrow left = 5 metres,
arrow right = 12 metres).
Using a screwdriver, the lens can be unclipped from
the groove at the side and re-positioned for the reach
you require.
Declaration of conformity
This product complies with
- Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC
- EMC Directive 2004/108/EC

Precision adjustment
using shrouds
Shrouds may be used to define the detection zone
exactly as you require in order, for example, to blank
out or specifically target paths or neighbouring prem-
ises. The shrouds can be divided or cut with a pair of
scissors along the vertical and horizontal grooves.
They can be clipped into the top channel around the
centre of the lens. Finally, they are secured in place
after fitting the designer-style trim with glass shade .
(Fig. , shows examples of how you can reduce
the angle of coverage and shorten reach.)
Operation / Maintenance
The SensorLight is suitable for switching ON light
automatically. Weather conditions may affect the way
the SensorLight functions. Strong gusts of wind,
snow, rain or hail may cause the light to come ON
when it is not wanted because the sensor is unable to
distinguish sudden changes of temperature from
sources of heat. The detector lens may be cleaned
with a damp cloth if it gets dirty (do not use cleaning
agents).
Set dimming level of your choice:
- Hold button down until LED flashes.
- Keep button pressed, the system will slowly run
through dimmer range from 0 – 50%.
- Release button when chosen setting is reached.
The LED will now continue flashing for about 5 sec.
This period may be used for optimising the dimmer
setting.
