3.4 Adjusting the Motion Sensor Angle
To adjust the motion sensor angle on your Defiant Motion Security Light 180, start by loosening the screws that secure the sensor to the light fixture. This allows you to rotate the sensor horizontally or vertically to achieve the desired coverage area. Once positioned, tighten the screws to hold the sensor in place. Ensure the sensor is pointing toward the area you want to monitor and is clear of obstructions. Test the sensor by walking through the detection zone to confirm proper activation. Fine-tune the angle as needed for optimal motion detection performance. Always refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for precise adjustments to avoid malfunctions.
