Heath Zenith SH-5511 User Manual

Compact 150 Watt Motion

Sensing Halogen

Model SH-5511

Requirements

•The light control requires 120-volts AC. Do not connect through a dimmer or other electronic switch.

•If you want to use Manual Mode, the control must be wired through a switch.

•Some codes require installation by a qualified electrician.

•This product is intended for use with a junction box marked for use in wet locations.

•The backplate has knockouts so the sensor can be mounted on most junction boxes.

•In some applications a universal adaptor plate may be needed. Adaptors are available at home centers and electrical supply stores.

Features

•Turns on lighting when motion is detected.

•Automatically turns lighting off.

•Photocell keeps the lighting off during daylight hours.

MANUAL MODE

Manual mode only works at night because daylight returns the sensor to AUTO.

Flip the light switch off for one second then back on to toggle between AUTO and MANUAL MODE.

Manual mode works only with the ON-TIME switch in the 1, 5, or 10 position.

*If you get confused while switching modes, turn the power off for one minute, then back on. After the calibration time the control will be in the AUTO mode.

INSTALLATION

For easy installation, select an existing light operated by a wall switch for replacement.

For best performance, mount the fixture about 8 feet (2.4 m) above the ground. NOTE: If fixture is mounted higher than 8 ft.(2.4 m), aiming the sensor down will reduce coverage distance.

CAUTION: The sensor must be mounted below the lamp housing for wall installations.

Eave Mount

Wall Mount

CAUTION to avoid fire or burn hazards:

•Allow fixture to cool before touching. The bulb and fixture operate at high temperatures.

•Keep fixture at least 2" (5 cm) from combustible materials. Do not aim at objects closer than 3 feet (1 m).

•Re-lamp with type T 150W (or less) halogen 120 VAC lamp only.

For under eave installation, the sensor head must be rotated as shown in the next two steps for proper operation and to avoid the risk of electrical shock.

For eave mount only:

Rotate the sensor head towards the clamp screw joint.

Control Switch

Joint Clamp

Then rotate the sensor head clockwise 180° so the controls face down.

Bulb Installation and Relamping

When relamping, turn power off and let the fixture cool.

Remove the screw that holds the glass cover shut. Remove the old bulb by pushing the bulb towards the right until the left side of the bulb is clear of the left socket.

To insert the new bulb, push the bulb into the right socket so the bulb fits completely into the left socket.

Check that the bulb is seated properly.

Close the glass cover. Replace screw.

Mount the Light Control

Align the light control cover plate and cover plate gasket and the junction box. Insert and tighten the mounting screws.

If not installed on a weatherproof box or if an adaptor plate is used, caulk the wall plate and mounting surface with silicone weather sealant.

or fuse.

Remove the existing light fixture.

Strip about 5/8" insulation from the existing junction box wiring.

Route the light control’s wires through the large hole in the gasket.

Twistthejunctionboxwiresandfixturewirestogether as shown. Secure with wire connectors.

TEST AND ADJUSTMENT

Turn on the circuit breaker and light switch.

NOTE: Sensor has a 1 1/2 minute warm up period before it will detect motion. When first turned on, wait 1 1/2 minutes.

Turn the SENSITIVITY (SENS) control to the medium position (halfway between MIN and MAX) and the ON-TIME control to the TEST position.

NOTE: If fixture is mounted higher than 8 ft.(2.4 m), aiming the sensor down will reduce coverage distance.

The detector is less sensitive to motion directly towards it.

Bottom of Sensor

Avoid aiming the control at:

•Objects that change temperature rapidly, such as heating vents and air conditioners. These heat sources could cause false triggering.

•Areas where pets or traffic may trigger the control.

•Nearby large, light-colored objects reflecting light may trigger the shut-off feature. Do not point other lights at the sensor.

Loosen the clamp screw in the sensor ball joint and gently rotate the sensor.

Walk through the coverage area noting where you are when the lights turn on. Move the sensor head up, down, or sideways to change the coverage area.Keep the sensor at least 1" (2.5 cm) away from the lamps.

Adjust the SENSITIVITY as needed. Too much sensitivity may increase false triggering.

Secure the sensor head by tightening the clamp screw.

Do not overtighten the screw.
