The First
Alert"'
Motion Sensing Hands Free Socket senses your approach
and automatically turns
on
the light. The light remains
on
as long as the
motion sensor detects activity
in
the room, turning the light off approximately
4 minutes after
you
leave the
area.
The Motion Sensing Hands
Free
Socket is ideal for walk-in closets, laundry
room, utility room or basement. It offers the convenience of automatic lighting
where you might otherwise have to search for a wall switch or pull string.
Use the Motion Sensing Hands
Free
Socket
in
any area or room that is
equipped with a ceiling-mounted, bare bulb light socket.
A CAUTION!
The motion sensor is not designed for use with an enclosed
or
shaded
bulb
of
any kind.
Use
only with a ceiling-mounted, bare bulb light socket.
DO
NOT
use with halogen bulbs.
SPECIAL FEATURES
The Motion Sensing Hands Free Socket:
• Detects motion
in
all directions-approximately 360".
• Senses activity at a distance
of
12 feet
(when
mounted at a height
of
8
feet above the floor).
• Turns the light off automatically approximately 4 minutes after movement
in
the area stops.
• Works
in
full daylight,
in
darkness,
and
at
any light
level
in
between.
• Uses a standard incandescent bulb up
to
100 watts or a compact
fluorescent bulb up
to
50 watts.
WHERE
TO
MOUNT
THE
UNIT
Be
sure the socket selected
is
at least 12 inches from any wall or door.
Choose any ceiling-mounted, bare bulb light socket. Mounted at a height
of
8 feet, the Motion Sensing Hands
Free
Socket will sense the approach
of
a
person five feet tall at a distance
of
12 feet. If the Motion Sensing Hands
Free
Socket is mounted higher than 8 feet, it
will
"see" somewhat farther. If it is
mounted lower than 8 feet,
it will not "see" quite as
far.
Do not mount the
Motion Sensing Hands
Free
Socket higher than
10 feet from the floor.
LIMITATIONS OF MOTION SENSING
HANDS FREE SOCKET
This Motion Sensing Hands Free
Socket
• Is for indoor use only.
• Requires
AC
power
to
function properly. If
AC
power
to
the unit is cut
off, it will not work.
• Is NOT intended to serve as a safety or security device. It is designed
for convenience
only.
This Motion Sensing Hands Free Socket will not
work
properly if:
• The socket
to
which it is connected is defective
or
if the bulb is
burned out.
•
It
is used with anything other than a ceiling-mounted, bare bulb
light socket.
Although the Motion Sensing Hands Free Socket
detects changes
in
temperature, it is not intended
to
be used
as
a heat and/or fire detector. Consult NFPA
Standard 72, National Fire Alarm Code, for residential
smoke detection and fire protection guidelines.
Although this Motion
Sensing
Hands
Free
Socket detects
motion
360°,
the unit responds more effectively
at
each
180° point.
(See
figure right.)
The
180° points
are
marked
on
the top of the unit by arrows. After installing the unit,
rotate it until either arrow faces the
general
direction
of
the
path people will most likely cross.
