Operation
For additional safety and security, the optional IR sensor will automatically turn
on the LED lights if a moving heat source is detected during “no-light” conditions.
The IR sensor range reaches out approximately 8 feet in a 180-degree radius from
where it is mounted on the unit.
1. Press and hold the light button for 3-5 seconds and the red LED auto light
(Fig. 6B) will turn on. The IR sensor is now operational.
2. To discontinue IR sensor function, press and hold the light button (Fig. 6A)
3-5 seconds, and the red auto light will turn off. The IR sensor is no longer
operational.
NOTE: When the light is activated it defaults to full light.
NOTE: The light will deactivate if no movement is detected after three minutes.
