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

For best performance, mount the ﬁxture about 8 ft. (2.4 m) above the ground. 8 ft. (2.4 m), aiming the sensor down will reduce coverage distance.

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.

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.

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.

NOTE: Meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines when used with 120 W Max bulbs.

NOTE:

the sensor down will reduce coverage distance. The detector is less sensitive to motion directly towards it.

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 (also, the LED will ﬂash several times when motion is detected). Move the sensor head up, down, or sideways to change the coverage area. Keep the sensor at

least 1" (25 mm) away from the bulbs.

❒ Adjust the RANGE as needed.

RANGE set too high may increase false triggering.

❒ Secure the sensor head by

tightening the clamp screw.

Do not overtighten the screw.
