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 ONTIME 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.

Dual Brite™ TIMER

Light comes on half bright for selected time after dusk (Off, 3 hr., 6 hr., until dawn). If motion is sensed, the light turns on full bright for the ON-TIME (1,5, or 20 minutes) then returns to dim mode.

			Eave Mount
Wall Mount

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:

Swing the sensor head towards the clamp screw joint.

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

If the sensor pops out of the ball joint, loosen the clamp screw and push the sensor back into the ball joint. Tighten the clamp screw when done.

WIRE THE LIGHT CONTROL.

Turn power off at the fuse or circuit breaker.

Remove the existing light fixture.

Install the mounting strap as shown using two screws that fit your junction box.

The plastic hanger can be used to hold the fixture while wiring. The small end of the plastic hanger can be threaded through the hole in the center of the cover plate. The small end then goes into one of the slots on the mounting strap.

Route the Light Control’s wires through the large gasket holes.

Twist the junction box wires and fixture wires together as shown. Secure with wire connectors.

MOUNT THE LIGHT CONTROL.

Align the Light Control cover plate and cover plate gasket. Secure with the mounting bolt.

Align the three slots in the decorative shell with the lamp holder pins. Push the shell in and then twist clockwise to lock. Repeat for other shell.

Push the Rubber Plug firmly into place.

If a wet location junction box was not used, caulk the wall plate mounting surface with silicone weather sealant.

To avoid water damage and electrical shock, keep lamp holders 30° below horizontal.

	Keep lamps at least
	1" (2.5 cm) from the

Adjust the lamp holders by loosening the lock nuts but do not rotate the lamp holders more than 180° from the factory setting. When screwing in the floodlamps, do not overtighten.

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 RANGE control to the mid position, Dual Brite™ to OFF and the ON-TIME control to the TEST position.

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.
