TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM

Lights won’t come on

Lights stay on

Lights keep turning on and off (cycling)

Sensor operates differently in hot and cold conditions

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Power not on

• Wired incorrectly

• PIR not detecting movement

• Light conditions too bright

• TIME set too high

• Wired incorrectly

• Frequent changes in heat are being

detected

• Switched override ON

• Changes in heat are being detected

from a fixed heat source.

• Changes in heat are being detected

from a moving object.

• Light and heat are being reflected

back onto the sensor.

• Sudden temperature changes due to

storms or high winds

• Temperature differences are affecting

the sensitivity of the sensor

POSSIBLE SOLUTION

• Turn on indoor switch or check fuse

• Check wiring is the same as wiring diagram

• Adjust the angle and direction of the PIR. For best

results walk across the beam

• Wait until light conditions are darker (at dusk or

under 40 Lux) or turn the LUX control up.

• Turn ‘Time’ knob towards ‘-’ end (15 secs to 5 min

adjustable)

• Check wiring is the same as wiring diagram.

• Check sensing area for possible heat sources

(e.g. air vents, moving vehicles, moving trees) and

re-position the sensor or alter the RANGE control

downwards

• Check status of switched override and change if required

• Check the sensing area for air vents, light fittings or

fans and either re-position the sensor or adjust the aim

• Check the sensing area for moving vehicles, animals,

pedestrians, moving trees and alter the aim of the

sensor accordingly

• Alter aim of the sensor or paint the reflecting surface

with a dull finish

• Turn sensor off until storm passes or install in a

sheltered location

• Turn the sensitivity (RANGE) control knob toward

the MAXIMUM end for summer (hot conditions) and

toward MINIMUM for winter (cold conditions). This

compensates for variations in temperature.

FIXING THE CONNECTION BOX

WARNING: Isolate the power supply before installation.

• Position the unit on the wall and mark the position for the connection box

(which can be positioned in either landscape or portrait planes [Fig. 4].

• Ensure the wires can easily enter the connection box through either one of the

knock-outs on the side of the connection box, or through the knock-out at the

rear of the box.

NOTE: It is recommended that the knock-outs on the sides of the

connection box are used in conjunction with the cable gland [Fig.5]

as using the knock-out at the rear of the connection box will reduce the

weatherproof rating.

• However, If feeding a wire(s) through the knock-out at the rear of the connection

box, this will need to be removed, the sealing grommet fitted [Fig 6] and the

wire pushed through into the connection box BEFORE it is secured to the wall.

• If feeding a wire(s) through the side knock-outs, it is easiest to fit the cable

gland to the connection box [Fig.5]BEFORE securing it to the wall, and wires

should enter the connection box from the sides or underneath, not from the top.

• Use the connection box Fixing Holes [Fig.7] to mark the 4 drill holes required to

secure the box to the wall (and mark the cable outlet location if required). Drill

the wall and screw the connection box onto the wall using the screws and wall

plugs provided.

• When the Connection Box has been screwed onto the wall, covers (provided)

should be fitted over the screws to prevent water entering the Connection Box

through the screw holes.

• Once the wire(s) has been fed through the Sealing Gland, the nut on the gland

should be gently tightened up against the gland body [Fig. 8] to ensure the

wire(s) is secured in place and no water can get though into the connection box.

WIRING THE FLOODLIGHT

• Once the power cable has been fed through the cable gland (or sealing

grommet if using the knock-out at the rear of the connection box)

approximately 6mm of insulation should be stripped from each of the cores of

AC cable ready to attach it to the terminal block in the front of the light fitting.

NOTE: The Hylite Mightylites MLF116 and MLF128 are Class 1 fittings and therefore need to be Earthed

IF CONNECTING TO A STANDARD POWER SUPPLY (NO SWITCHED

OVERRIDE)

• Connect the BROWN or RED (Live) wire to the terminal (marked “L”) holding the

single BROWN wire in the floodlight unit [Fig.9].

• Connect the BLUE or BLACK (Neutral) wire to the terminal (marked “N”) holding

the TWO BLUE wires in the floodlight unit.

• Connect the YELLOW/GREEN or bare (Earth) wire to the terminal (marked “E”)

holding the single YELLOW/GREEN wire in the floodlight unit [Fig. 9].

IF CONNECTING A SWITCHED OVERRIDE (optional)

• If using a switch override, the switched override wires should enter the

connection box via a second cable gland and circuits should operate as shown

in [Fig. 10]

• The override switch to the Mightylite should be wired as shown in [Fig.11].

• When wiring to the Mightylite, connect L1 Switch override BROWN or RED

(Live) wire to the terminal (marked “SL”) holding both the RED and BROWN

wires. (Note: If the wire to the Switch Live terminal is Blue then a Brown sleeve

should be slid over the wire to indicate it is Switch Live)

• Connect the Common (C) BROWN or RED (Live) wire to the terminal (marked

“L”) with the single BROWN wire only [Fig.11]

• After the connections have been secured, the floodlight front (Connection Box

front) should be fastened to the Connection Box using the 4 Connection Box

Screws provided [Fig.13]

• Once screws are secure, the screw covers (provided) should be fitted [Fig.12]

• To adjust the MightyLite simply hold the Connection Box firmly whilst moving

the head of the floodlight to the required position.

The PIR on the MightyLite Floodlight can be used to activate additional PIR and non-PIR Mightylites that are wired into the same circuit.

When wiring, the Live for the slave units should simply be a connection from the Switched Live (marked “SL”) terminal on the main

Mightylite (with PIR) unit as shown in [Fig.13]. The Neutral for the “slave” unit should be a connection to the Neutral terminal (marked “N”) on the main Mightylite (with PIR) unit. Other wiring options are shown in [Figs. 13 - 17].

The controls on the back of the Mightylite [Fig.18] can be used to control the ambient light level at which the light operates (control marked “F”); the time the light operates for after activation by the

PIR (control marked “T”); and the range or sensitivity of the PIR (control marked “R”).
