SOLAR MOTION SENSOR SECURITY LIGHT
Instruction Manual Model 5500
Use the three wood/sheet metal screws provided in the package
(#4 on parts list) to mount the solar cell unit onto a solid
surface. Make sure it is mounted fixed into the solid surface.
You can adjust the angle of the solar cell by moving the
adjustment bracket to the appropriate hook on the
mounting base. It should face as much DIRECT SUNLIGHT as
possible during the daytime.
At last route the solar cell’s power cord to the main unit and
plug it into the side hole for solar cell. Additionally, the side hole
for adaptor is for the secondary charging during raining season.
Important: if the main unit is mounted horizontally, it must
be mounted in a covered area so rain water can not get into
the unit through the exposed vents.
5. INITIAL CHARGING SET-UP
After you successfully installed your SOLAR MOTION SENSOR
SECURITY LIGHT, you are almost ready for carefree operation
with a few final steps:
Initial 3-days Charge:
On the main unit there is a slide switch with 2 positions:
• OFF • AUTO
AUTO - Position for normal operation
OFF - Position for delivery or long periods of non-use
Position for initial 3-day charge before first use.
Then, turn the slide switch to OFF position. The solar cell will
charge the battery without activating the unit. Leave the switch
in this position for 3 sunny days to ensure that the battery has a
full charge for motion sensor adjustment and normal operation.
6. UNDERSTANDING THE
MOTION SENSOR CONTROLS
After the initial 3-day charge, turn the switch to AUTO position.
In the motion sensor the following 3 specifics TIME / SENS /
LUX are pre-set in factory.
TIME - Duration time of the light to run after motion is
detected in the field, the duration time is set to 30 seconds.
On a fully charged battery, it can light up to 300
illuminations of 30 seconds each. Note: Once the light is
activated by the PIR sensor, any subsequent detection will
restart the timed period again from the beginning.

SENS - The infra-red sensor’s detection range is preset to
detect movement from 26 to 39 feet away. This can be affected
by environmental temperature. The lower environmental
temperature and humidity, the more sensitive the PIR sensor.
Refer to FIGURE C for detection range.
LUX - The Lux control module has a built-in sensing device
(photocell) that detects daylight and darkness. The control
level is pre-set to 30 LUX, which denotes the dawn or dust
environmental level. When the environment is darker than 30
LUX, the sensor will start to work.
Walking test:
Point the motion sensor to facing the area you want to detect
motion in. Walking slowly in its detection area when it is
evening or when the environment is dark, the built-in infra-red
sensor detects movement by measuring the radiation given off
by the human body and then turns on the light. Test the
coverage of the area by walking around slowly until the light
does not switch on.
7. ADJUSTING LAMP HOUSING
Point the lamp housing facing the area you wish to illuminate.
8. REPLACING BULB & BATTERY
Caution: When replacing the bulb or battery, the slide switch
on the main unit must be in the OFF position.
Bulb Replacement: Depending on the amount of use, the
bulb in your SOLAR MOTION SENSOR SECURITY LIGHT is
designed to have an average life of about one year. When it
becomes necessary to replace the bulb, you can obtain a
replacement from location agent. The old bulb can be easily
replaced by popping the transparent light cover (#8 in parts
list) off with a screwdriver (there is a slot at one end of the
cover) and pulling the bulb from its base. Reverse this
procedure with the new bulb to reassemble.
IMPORTANT: The bulb will be hot when the light is on, please let
the bulb cool when replacing the bulb. Be extremely careful when
handing the bulb, especially if it is broken. Also, do not touch the
bulb with bare hands / fingers as this will shorten bulb life.)
Battery Replacement:
The battery in your SOLAR MOTION SENSOR SECURITY LIGHT
is designed to last for about 3 years. When it becomes
necessary to replace the battery, you can obtain a replacement
from your local distributor or STI Group.
