- Sensor rækkevidde: The 160° high-frequency sensor has a range of up to 5 meters. Consider the desired detection area when positioning.
- Forhindringer: Avoid mounting near large metal objects, dense foliage, or other sources of interference that might affect sensor performance.
4.2 Installationstrin
- Afbryd strømmen: Turn off the main power supply to the installation area at the circuit breaker. Verify that the power is off using a voltage tester.
- Forbered monteringsoverfladen: Mark the drilling points on the wall using the light fixture as a template. Drill holes and insert the provided wall plugs.
- Ledningsføring: Connect the electrical wires (Live, Neutral) from your household wiring to the corresponding terminals on the light fixture. Ensure secure connections.
- Monter armaturet: Secure the light fixture to the wall using the provided screws and spacers. Ensure it is firmly attached.

5. Betjeningsvejledning
The Steinel L 840 SC is primarily controlled and configured via the Steinel Connect app.
5.1 Steinel Connect App
The free Steinel Connect app allows you to customize various settings of your L 840 SC light.
- Download appen: Download the "Steinel Connect" app from the Google Play Store (for Android devices) or the Apple App Store (for iOS devices).
- Parring: Follow the in-app instructions to pair your L 840 SC light via Bluetooth. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone.
- Konfiguration: Once paired, you can access and adjust the following settings:
- Indstillinger for bevægelsessensor: Adjust the detection range (up to 5m) and sensitivity in 3 directions to fine-tune motion detection. The sensor is designed to ignore small animals and swaying branches.
- Lysets varighed: Set how long the main light stays on after motion is detected.
- Tusmørkeindstilling: Define the ambient light level at which the sensor becomes active.
- Night Light (Basic Light): Enable a continuous low-level illumination (10% to 50% brightness) during darkness for constant ambient lighting.
- Kontinuerligt lys: Activate a 4-hour continuous full brightness mode for extended illumination when needed.
- Dimmable Main Light: Adjust the brightness of the main light output from 50% to 100%.
- Light Groups (Bluetooth Mesh): Connect multiple Steinel Connect lights to create groups and control them simultaneously for synchronized lighting scenarios.

5.2 Betjening af bevægelsessensor
The L 840 SC features an invisible 160° high-frequency sensor that reliably detects human movement.
- Princip for detektion: The sensor emits high-frequency electromagnetic waves and detects changes in the echo caused by movement within its detection zone.
- Intelligent detektion: It is optimized to differentiate between human movement and smaller disturbances like pets or wind-blown foliage, reducing false triggers.
- Justerbar rækkevidde: The detection range can be precisely adjusted via the app to suit the specific requirements of your installation area.

6. Vedligeholdelse
The Steinel L 840 SC is designed for low maintenance. The integrated LED system has a long lifespan of approximately 50,000 hours, meaning bulb replacement is not required.
- Rensning: For at rengøre armaturet skal du tørre det af med en blød kludamp klud. Brug ikke slibende rengøringsmidler eller opløsningsmidler, da disse kan beskadige overfladen.
- Inspektion: Kontrollér regelmæssigt armaturet for tegn på skader eller løse forbindelser. Hvis der findes problemer, skal strømmen afbrydes og en kvalificeret elektriker kontaktes.
7. Fejlfinding
Hvis du støder på problemer med din Steinel L 840 SC, skal du se følgende almindelige fejlfindingstrin:
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Lyset tændes ikke. | No power supply; incorrect wiring; twilight setting too high. | Check circuit breaker; verify wiring connections; adjust twilight setting in the app. |
| Lyset forbliver tændt konstant. | Continuous light mode activated; constant motion in detection area; faulty sensor. | Deactivate continuous light in the app; check for persistent movement; contact support if sensor is faulty. |
| Sensor does not detect motion. | Detection range too small; sensor obstructed; incorrect sensitivity setting. | Increase detection range in the app; clear obstructions; adjust sensor sensitivity. |
| Kan ikke oprette forbindelse til appen. | Bluetooth off; light not in pairing mode; app issues. | Ensure Bluetooth is on; restart the light; restart the app or reinstall it. |
