DESCRIPTION
is light operates from a built-in lithium-ion battery
charged from a solar panel. It will also hold three “C”
alkaline batteries (not included) which are used as a backup
power source. If the solar battery becomes depleted, the
light will automatically switch to the alkaline batteries.
When the solar panel has recharged the solar battery, the
light will automatically switch back to the solar battery.
INITIAL BATTERY CHARGE
IMPORTANT: The solar panel requires full, direct
sunlight to charge the battery. Clouds, rain, snow,
and other weather conditions may not allow the
solar panel to completely recharge the battery.
Other obstructions such as buildings or trees may
block the sun as well.
When installing the solar panel, make sure it is
aimed as described below with a minimum amount
of obstructions. If possible, mount the panel facing
toward the southern sky.
Note: All illustrations show model 7163. e instructions
are the same for all models.

IMPORTANT SAFETY AND
INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Before installing security light, read all instr uctions carefully
and keep owner’s manual for future reference.
• WARNING: To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH never allow small children near batteries.
If battery is swallowed, immediately notify a doctor.
• WARNING: DO NOT mix old and new batteries. DO
NOT mix battery types - such as alkaline, heavy duty,
and rechargeable - in a single device. Battery leakage
may occur.
• WARNING: DO NOT DISPOSE OF BATTERIES
IN FIRE. BATTERIES MAY EXPLODE OR LEAK.
• CAUTION: Burn hazard. Allow the light xture to cool
before touching.
• NOTICE: When replacing batteries, recycle used batteries
or dispose of them in accordance with local regulations.
• is xture is designed for outdoor installation and
should be mounted to a wall or eaves.
• To achieve best results, this xture should be mounted
8 feet (2.4 meters) above the ground.
• Do not cut the solar panel wire. Discontinue use if the
wire becomes frayed or broken.
• Do not immerse components in liquid.
• Do not use any other charging device other than the
single solar charging panel provided with this light.
Doing so may result in injury or damage to the light
and voids any warranty.
• Position the cord so that it is securely fastened and will
not result in a hazard (such as tripping).
is device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
• PRIOR TO USE, the solar panel will need to be con-
nected to the battery (see Installation instructions)
and the battery will require 3 to 7 days of full sun to
completely charge with the control dial in the OFF
position. Remove the rubber plug from the bottom of
the light xture and insert the end of the solar panel cable
into the opening. If possible, aim the solar panel toward
the south and tilt it approximately 50° from horizontal.
If the solar panel cannot be aimed toward the south, then
tilt the panel approximately 30° if possible.
• Actual operating time will vary depending upon how
frequently the light is turned on by the motion sensor.
•
Solar lighting is not designed to equal standard 120V lighting. e amount of light output is reduced to allow the sun
time to fully recharge the battery between lighting cycles.
• Solar collection is only eective in direct sunlight. Every
hour the light is on requires a minimum of 16 hours of
sunlight charging. Solar panels collect less than 10% of
the sun’s energy.
MOUNTING LOCATION
e most important thing to remember for the operation
of your solar powered motion sensing light is that it works
from the power received from direct sunlight. e more
direct sunlight the solar panel receives in a day, the longer
the light will operate.
Solar Light Fixture
e main unit contains the LEDs, motion sensor, and
battery. When deciding where to mount this unit, keep
in mind that the motion sensor that activates the light
has a “eld of vision” of 40 feet (12 meters) in front of the
light and about 180° detection angle at a surrounding air
temperature of 77° F (25 °C).
Solar Panel
e solar panel converts the sun’s energy into electricity,
thus charging the battery stored in the solar light xture.
e solar panel requires direct sunlight falling onto the
face of the solar panel for as long as possible over the
course of the day.
When choosing the location for the solar panel, make sure
it is aimed toward the south and is tilted to a suitable angle
to allow as much direct sunlight to fall upon it as possible.
Make sure there is a minimum amount of obstructions
between the solar panel and the sun.
Also, make sure your solar panel location is not too far
away from the solar light xture for the wires to reach
and connect.

E
e motion sensor on this light xture detects “motion”
by the movement of heat across the coverage area. e
motion sensor is more sensitive to the movement of heat
moving across the coverage area and less sensitive to the
movement of heat directly towards it.
INSTALLATION
Setting the Sensor for Wall or Eave Mounting
• For wall mounting, turn the ring around the sensor
clockwise until the “W” and the single indicator is
aligned with the mark on the front of the sensor (see
Figure 1).
• For eave mounting, turn the ring around the sensor
counterclockwise until the “E” and the double indicator
is aligned with the mark on the front of the sensor. (see
Figure 1).
Note: ere is a detent at each setting to indicate proper
alignment of the sensor.
Mounting the Solar Light Fixture
is xture comes with a mounting plate. It is preassembled on the light xture for shipping.
Make sure there is enough vertical space above the mounting plate to allow the light xture to be mounted.
1. Press the bottom tab of the wall mounting plate and
slide the mounting plate from the light body (see
Figure 2).
2. Place the mounting plate against the mounting surface
and ensure the mounting plate is level. Mark the hole
locations (see Figure 3).
• If mounting to a wooden surface, drill two 3/32
in. holes into the mounting surface. Install the two
mounting screws through the mounting plate and
into the mounting surface.
• If mounting to wall board or brick, drill two 7/32
in. holes into the mounting surface. Insert the wall
anchors and attach the mounting plate using the
two mounting screws.

2. Rotate the solar panel to the desired angle (see Figure 9).
IMPORTANT:e solar panel must receive as much direct sunlight
over the course of the day as possible. Keep in mind that shadows
may block the sunlight from reaching the solar panel during the
day.
3. Carefully route the solar panel cable to the light xture. Remove
the rubber plug from the bottom of the light xture and insert
the end of the cable into the opening (see Figure 10). Note: Wrap
any excess solar panel cable around the cord management system
located on the rear of the solar panel. Leave enough loose cable
to form a drip loop.
IMPORTANT: Turn the control dial on the side of the sensor to
the OFF position and allow the battery to charge with 3 to 7
days of full sunshine before testing (see Figure 11).
OPERATION
Determining the Motion Sensor Detection Zone
e motion sensor is non-adjustable. It has a sensing angle of 180°
and a range of approximately 40 ft. depending on the surrounding
temperature. When the control dial is set to the “TEST” position, the
light will operate during the day or night. e light will stay on for 5
seconds after all motion is stopped. e motion sensor will need to
completely warm up (60 seconds) before beginning the setup process.
1. Turn the control dial to the TEST position (see Figure 11).
2. Perform a “walk test”: walk in an arc across the front of the motion sensor (see Figure 12).
3. Watch the light. e light will come on indicating motion has
been detected.
4. Stop, wait for the light to turn o, and then begin walking again.
5. Continue this process until the detection zone has been established.
6. If needed, gently grasp the lamp heads and move them from side
to side or up and down to adjust the light coverage area.
Adjusting the Light Timer
Turn the control dial to set the amount of time you want the lights
to stay on after all motion has stopped (adjustble between 5 seconds
and 5 minutes) (see Figure 13). Note: When set between 5 seconds
and 5 minutes, the light xture will only work after dark (sunset).
