ADJUSTMENT KNOBS
TIMER CONTROL MODE
The DUSK TIME setting controls how long the unit remains illuminated
after dusk if the unit is set in TIMER CONTROL MODE. (See section
5). The unit can be set to illuminate between 1 and 8 hours, then it will
SWITCH THE UNIT OFF until Dusk the following evening.
TIME ON ADJUSTMENT
The TIME setting controls how long the unit remains illuminated following
activation & after all motion ceases if the unit is set in AUTOMATIC
MODE. The minimum time (fully anti-clockwise) is approx. 5 seconds,
whilst the maximum time (fully clockwise) is approx. 5 minutes. Set the
control to the desired setting between these limits.
LUX CONTROL
The LUX setting controls the level of darkness required for the unit to
start operating. The setting is best achieved by the procedure below:
Set the DUSK control knob fully anti-clockwise. The unit will now
start operating at dusk. If you require the light to activate earlier, wait
until the ambient light level reaches the level of darkness at which you
wish the lamp to become operative, SLOWLY rotate the control in a
clockwise direction until a point is reached where the lamp illuminates.
Leave the control set at this point.
DIMMER (Hi Lo) CONTROL
The DIMMER setting controls the courtesy light option. The DIMMER
is adjustable from 0% (OFF) to 50% of the light output. When set the
DIMMER will activate the light to the chosen dimmed level at dusk each
evening - it will then stay illuminated at this low level of courtesy lighting
until the sensor is activated. On activation the light will go to full power
for the time period set on the TIME ON adjustment. After the set time
has elapsed the light level will return to the dimmed level until Dawn the
following day.
