Falcon Motion Solar Sensor Light

Installation Guide for Falcon Motion Solar Sensor Light

This guide will help you install your new solar-powered light quickly and easily. Please follow these steps to ensure optimal performance and functionality.

What You'll Need

• Falcon Motion Solar Sensor Light
• Mounting hardware (included)
• A drill (if mounting on a hard surface)
• Screwdriver
• Level (optional, for precise alignment)
• Pencil or marker (for marking drill holes)

Step-by-Step Installation Instructions

Step 1: Choose the Installation Location

1. Select the Right Area:
   • Choose a location that receives direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours a day. This is essential for the solar panel to charge effectively.
   • Ideally, mount the light at a height of 2 to 3 meters (6 to 10 feet) above the ground for optimal motion detection.
   • Ensure that the area is free from obstructions such as trees, buildings, or other structures that may block sunlight or interfere with motion detection.

Step 2: Prepare for Mounting

1. Check the Light's Angle:

   • Before mounting, adjust the angle of the solar panel to ensure it faces the sun and can capture maximum sunlight throughout the day.

2. Mark the Mounting Holes:

   • Hold the light fixture against the wall or mounting surface in your chosen location.
   • Use a pencil or marker to mark the positions of the mounting holes.

Step 3: Install the Light Fixture

1. Drill Holes:

   • If mounting on a hard surface (like brick or concrete), use a drill to create holes at the marked positions. Make sure the holes are appropriate for the anchors provided.
   • If mounting on wood, drilling may not be necessary; you can use screws directly.

2. Insert Anchors (if needed):

   • If you drilled holes for anchors, insert the anchors into the holes to provide a secure grip for the screws.

3. Attach the Light:

   • Align the light fixture with the drilled holes or anchors.
   • Using the provided screws, secure the light fixture to the surface. Tighten the screws until the fixture is firmly in place, but be careful not to overtighten and damage the fixture.

Step 4: Adjust the Settings

1. Set the Motion Sensitivity and Duration (if applicable):
   • Depending on your model, you may have settings for motion sensitivity and light duration. Adjust these settings according to your preference.
   • Refer to the product manual for specific instructions on adjusting these settings.

Step 5: Activate the Light

1. Turn On the Light:

   • Locate the power switch (usually on the back or side of the light) and turn it on. Some models may have a test mode to ensure everything is working correctly.

2. Allow for Charging:

   • Let the light charge in direct sunlight for at least 8 hours before testing its motion detection capability. This will ensure the battery is fully charged.

Step 6: Test the Motion Sensor

1. Test Functionality:
   • After allowing sufficient charging time, walk in front of the light to test the motion sensor. The light should activate upon detecting motion.
   • If it doesn't activate, check the angle, sensitivity settings, and ensure the solar panel is receiving adequate sunlight.

Step 7: Enjoy Your New Light!

• Your Falcon Motion Solar Sensor Light is now installed and ready to provide illumination and security for your outdoor space. Enjoy the benefits of solar-powered lighting!

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the solar panel to remove dirt, leaves, or debris that may obstruct sunlight.
• Check Settings: Ensure the motion sensitivity and duration settings remain as desired, especially after any adjustments.
• Inspect for Damage: Regularly inspect the fixture for any signs of wear or damage. Replace as necessary.

By following these installation steps, you will ensure that your Falcon Motion Solar Sensor Light functions optimally and enhances the safety and visibility of your outdoor area. Enjoy your new lighting solution!
