5. Fametrahana
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.
- Vonoy ny hery: 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.
- Esory ny sensor taloha: Carefully disconnect the wiring from the old motion sensor. Note the wire connections (typically Line, Load, and Neutral/Ground).
- Manomana Sensor Vaovao: Thread the wires from the new Defiant motion sensor through the mounting plate or fixture opening.
- Wire fifandraisana:
- Connect ny tariby mainty from the sensor to the black (hot) wire avy amin'ny famatsiana herinaratra.
- Connect ny tariby mena from the sensor to the black (load) wire ny jiro.
- Connect ny tariby fotsy from the sensor to the white (neutral) wire from the power supply and the light fixture.
- Connect ny tariby tany (bare copper or green) from the sensor to the fixture's ground wire and the house ground wire.
Arovy ny fifandraisana rehetra amin'ny tariby tariby sy ny kasety elektrika.
- Mount Sensor: Securely attach the new motion sensor to the fixture or mounting box using the provided hardware. Ensure it is oriented correctly for optimal detection.
- Fifandraisana tombo-kase: Apply weather-resistant sealant around the mounting base to prevent water intrusion, especially if exposed to direct weather.
- Ampodio hery: Avereno ON ny herinaratra amin'ny fiatoana.
6. Fametrahana sy fanitsiana
After installation, adjust the sensor's settings for optimal performance.
- Mode test: 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.
- Fanitsiana ny fahatsapana: 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).
- Fanitsiana ny fotoana: 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. Torolàlana miasa
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. Fikojakojana
The Defiant motion sensor requires minimal maintenance to ensure continued performance.
- Fanadiovana: Periodically wipe the sensor lens with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris that may obstruct its view. Aza mampiasa mpanadio abrasive na solvents.
- Fanaraha-maso: Annually inspect the sensor and its wiring for any signs of damage, wear, or loose connections. Ensure the mounting remains secure.
- sakana: Keep the detection area clear of growing foliage, branches, or other objects that could block the sensor's view or cause false triggers.
9. Famahana olana
If your motion sensor is not functioning as expected, try the following steps:
| OLANA | Antony mety hitranga | vahaolana |
|---|---|---|
| Tsy mirehitra ny hazavana rehefa mihetsika. |
|
|
| Mijanona tsy tapaka ny hazavana. |
|
|
| Light turns on for no apparent reason (false triggers). |
