When set to disable, the daylight sensor will switch on the lamp when motion is detected, regardless of ambient light levels. Each sensor has the ability to customize detection area, hold time, and standby periods by using DIP switches. It is important to note that, when reducing the detection area, the sensitivity of the sensors will also be reduced. The detection area of your motion sensor can easily be reduced by selecting the appropriate combination on the DIP switches.
A motion sensor can be set to ensure a lamp is only illuminated below a predefined brightness threshold. For an in-depth look at each wiring scheme, click here.

To speak with an Access Fixtures lighting specialist, call Installation Guidelines When installing a motion sensor, there are guidelines to which you and your electrician should adhere: The motion sensor should be installed by a qualified electrician.
Ensure power supply is switched off prior to installation or servicing. The sensor should not be modified. Trim the cable originating from the outlet box to approximately six inches. With the help of a wire stripper, extract half an inch of the positive and negative insulation wires.
Then switch on the electricity and make adjustments to the Led strips appropriately. Ensure your sensor rotates freely. This will facilitate easy movement of the sensor to the direction of object passage.
Adjust the motion sensor's rules as you want it to operate. Remember, you can do this step later to prevent nuisance trips. Additionally, make the right adjustments to your switch. Most sensors have automatic shutoff after a given period of time. That is it! In just six simple steps, you have a functional motion sensor light.
Give it a warm-up time of about one minute. Now you can test it to see whether everything is okay. You must have spent your time well doing something useful and economical. Technology is becoming stylish each day. More families and businesses seem to be embracing motion sensor lights. The goal to achieve more with less has reached the security system industry. Here, components like sensor lights improve security while consuming less space.
Besides, such systems use less power compared to traditional security systems. The technique itself, nevertheless, is not a new thing. Once you have the assembly properly in place, you are ready to screw in the bulbs that came with it.
Seal the fixture. After you have restored the power to the light and ensured that it works, you will want to seal the light fixture where it attaches to the wall plate. Use a silicone caulk around the casing where it attaches to the wall. Part 3. Turn the power back on to the fixture.
The first thing you need to do is go back to your breaker box and turn the power back on to the fixture. Walk in front of the sensor. With the power to the light restored, walk in front of the sensor to ensure that the light comes on.
Then you can worry about adjusting the settings. Adjust the angle of the lights. This step is likely easier to do at dusk or in the early evening. Most motion sensor lights consist of two separate lamps that you can easily swivel and position how you want. Turn the lamps until you have a spread of light around the area that satisfies you. Adjust the angle of the sensor.
The sensor for most models of motion sensor lights is on a pivot that allows you to angle the sensor toward a specific location such as your driveway or a gate.
The sensor will have a rather wide field of view, so you can angle it toward multiple spaces at once in many cases. Adjust the sensitivity. Depending on your model of light, it may come with a switch or a knob to adjust the sensitivity of the sensor.
Set the timing. Most motion sensor lights also have a time setting beside the sensitivity setting, allowing you to determine how long the light stays on when the sensor trips it.
Yes, if the sensor setting is on dusk to dawn you can leave the light switch on. When on this setting and switch is on, the light will only come on from dusk till dawn when something trips the motion sensor. Not Helpful 0 Helpful 8. As long as the main breaker is switched off, and you have tested the wires to ensure there is no power, then it does not matter which wire you disconnect first.
Not Helpful 0 Helpful 2. What do I do if I have connected all the white wires and hot wires and it still isn't working? Check the breaker to that circuit, in the main electrical box; there could be a blown or loose breaker. Check hot wires with a tester to see is there is current. If the breaker is good and the wire doesn't have current, you could have faulty wires that need to be replaced.
If there is current, then the light fixture is bad. Always handle with care all-aluminum cables if there is any in the project. During wiring of motion sensor light make sure any naked cable is secured with an electrician tape to prevent short-circuiting. Read instructions before installation. Before starting installation take, time to read the instructions and full details given by the manufacturer of the motion detector light. Different manufacturers provide different basic information as per their product.
Lint-free cloth is necessary for grasping the new bulb while changing the old one. It prevents oil from sticking on the bulb surface, incase this oil gets hot the bulb might break down causing injuries.
Then, you can install the motion lights at least 6 to 10 feet above the floor or ground. Always position the sensor on ways to front and back doors , this will help in maximizing effectiveness.
When it comes to stairways , you need to consider the size of your pet to prevent unnecessary alarms as they pass- by. If you have ever experienced security issues, then place sensors to cover all driveways, swimming pool, the garage, fence gates, dark areas around the house, the patio door, and bushes. Having installed motion sensor lights in all sensitive spots will reduce your fear of security.
