5. Installation
This section provides general guidelines for replacing an existing motion sensor. Specific wiring diagrams may vary; always consult the original fixture's instructions or a qualified electrician if unsure.
- Strom ausschalten: Locate the circuit breaker or fuse that supplies power to the outdoor light fixture and turn it OFF. Verify power is off using a voltage Tester.
- Alten Sensor entfernen: Carefully disconnect the wiring from the old motion sensor. Note the wire connections (typically Line, Load, and Neutral/Ground).
- Neuen Sensor vorbereiten: Thread the wires from the new Defiant motion sensor through the mounting plate or fixture opening.
- Drahtverbindungen:
- Verbinden Sie schwarzes Kabel vom Sensor zum schwarzer (heißer) Draht vom Stromnetz trennen.
- Verbinden Sie rotes Kabel vom Sensor zum black (load) wire der Leuchte.
- Verbinden Sie weißer Draht vom Sensor zum weißer (neutraler) Draht from the power supply and the light fixture.
- Verbinden Sie Erdungskabel (bare copper or green) from the sensor to the fixture's ground wire and the house ground wire.
Sichern Sie alle Verbindungen mit Drahtmuttern und Isolierband.
- Sensor montieren: Securely attach the new motion sensor to the fixture or mounting box using the provided hardware. Ensure it is oriented correctly for optimal detection.
- Dichtungsanschlüsse: Apply weather-resistant sealant around the mounting base to prevent water intrusion, especially if exposed to direct weather.
- Strom wiederherstellen: Schalten Sie den Strom am Sicherungsautomaten wieder ein.
6. Einrichtung und Justierung
After installation, adjust the sensor's settings for optimal performance.
- Testmodus: Most motion sensors have a test mode. Upon initial power-up, the sensor may enter a test mode where lights turn on for a short period (e.g., 5-10 seconds) with each detection, regardless of ambient light. This allows for quick aiming and sensitivity testing.
- Empfindlichkeitseinstellung: Use the sensitivity dial (if present) to adjust how easily the sensor detects motion.
- Turn clockwise for higher sensitivity (detects smaller movements or at greater distances).
- Turn counter-clockwise for lower sensitivity (reduces false triggers from small animals or distant objects).
- Zeiteinstellung: Use the time dial (if present) to set how long the light remains on after motion is no longer detected. Common settings range from a few seconds to several minutes.
- Light Level (Dusk-to-Dawn) Adjustment: Some sensors include a photocell adjustment to determine the ambient light level at which the sensor becomes active. This prevents the light from turning on during daylight hours.
- Aiming the Sensor: Physically adjust the sensor head to cover the desired detection area. Walk through the intended detection zone to verify coverage and make fine adjustments.
7. Bedienungsanleitung
Once installed and adjusted, the Defiant motion sensor operates automatically:
- During nighttime (or when ambient light is below the set threshold), the sensor will detect motion within its 270-degree, 100-foot range.
- Upon detection, the connected light fixture will illuminate for the duration set by the time adjustment dial.
- If motion continues to be detected, the light will remain on or reset its timer.
- After motion ceases and the set time expires, the light will turn off.
- During daylight hours (or when ambient light is above the set threshold), the sensor will typically remain inactive, conserving energy.
8. Wartung
The Defiant motion sensor requires minimal maintenance to ensure continued performance.
- Reinigung: Reinigen Sie die Sensorlinse regelmäßig mit einem weichen, fusselfreien Tuch.amp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris that may obstruct its view. Keine Scheuer- oder Lösungsmittel verwenden.
- Inspektion: Annually inspect the sensor and its wiring for any signs of damage, wear, or loose connections. Ensure the mounting remains secure.
- Hindernisse: Keep the detection area clear of growing foliage, branches, or other objects that could block the sensor's view oder Fehlalarme auslösen.
9. Fehlerbehebung
If your motion sensor is not functioning as expected, try the following steps:
| Problem | Mögliche Ursache | Lösung |
|---|---|---|
| Das Licht schaltet sich bei Bewegung nicht ein. |
|
|
| Das Licht bleibt dauerhaft an. |
|
|
| Light turns on for no apparent reason (false triggers). |
