LIGHT CONTROL WIRING

1. Turn off electricity at the circuit breaker or fuse.

2. With gasket in place, connect the white wire from the light control base to the
white wire in the electrical box, using the provided wire nut.

3. Connect the black wire from the light control base to the black wire in the
electrical box, using the provided wire nut.

4. If a ground wire is present, attach the green ground wire in the electrical box
under the head of the green ground screw on the metal light control base.

5. Mount the light control base onto the electrical box. When completed, be sure
that the perimeter of the gasket is even to assure a proper seal.

6. Install the PAR lamps (Type PAR38 bulbs, incandescent, 150 watts maximum per
lampholder). Aim the PAR lamps as desired. Tighten locknuts and adjustment
screws.

7. Turn on the electricity to the outdoor light location. (The floodlights will not come
on until the wireless motion sensor is installed.)

8. Use the wireless remote control to test operation.

Note: Power must be applied continually to the light control. If a wall switch
previously controlled the light control location, this switch must be in the "on"
position.

MOTION SENSOR INSTALLATION
Note: The motion sensor can be mounted or set anywhere, indoors or outdoors,

at a height of 0 to 10 feet from the ground. For
best range and detection, mount at least 6 feet
from the ground.

For mounting:

A. Place adjustable mounting bracket (provided)

where desired (such as a post, tree, house)
and install top screw into key slot. Then secure
the bottom screw.

B. Slide the motion sensor down onto the bracket.

Adjust the motion sensor to the desired angle.

Note: To tighten the ball joint, use a Phillips screwdriver to turn the adjustment
screw on the bracket.
Important: The bottom cover must face downward after installation so that
moisture cannot enter.

SET-UP

1. Remove the wireless motion sensor
bottom cover by pressing inward on the
latch.

2. Pull tab to bring out the battery holder
and install four AA alkaline batteries. Be
sure that the battery (+) and (-) terminals
match the (+) and (-) contacts shown in
the battery compartment.

3. The day/night switch should be in the
day/night mode.

4. The timer (or left) switch should be in the
leftmost position (6 s) for test. With the
switch in this position, the floodlights will
turn off approximately 6 seconds after
turning on. This will allow quick testing of
the motion sensor with the light control.

5. Replace bottom cover.

TEST

1. Walk through the coverage area. Note when the floodlights turn on. If the
coverage area needs to be changed, adjust the motion sensor for improved
coverage. Retighten the ball joint screw.

2. After completing the test, determine the amount of on-time you want for the
floodlights to stay on after motion is detected. The timer switch allows the
choices of 10 minutes (rightmost switch position) or 3 minutes (center switch
position).

3. Also decide if you want the light control to turn on during the day and night
when motion is detected or just at night. Set the Detect switch to the left for
night only operation and to the right for day/night operation.

4. Close the bottom cover.

DETECTION ZONE

White wires

Black control wire
& black junction
box wire

Lampholder

Junction box

Motion is detected in a 60’ x 140˚ range
which will be over 4396 sq. feet. The
mounting bracket can be adjusted to
customize the detection zone.
Note: As with most motion detection
devices, pets or other animals may
activate the unit. Also, walking in
a straight line towards the motion
sensor may reduce operating range.
Walking across the detection field
provides the maximum operational
range.

REMOTE CONTROL

Press the "on" or "off" button to over

­ride the system and turn light on
or off.

TO REPLACE REMOTE CONTROL
BATTERY

Remove the top screw from the back
of the remote control. Lift off the
back cover, remove old battery and
insert new battery according to the
(+,-) placement guides. Replace the
back cover along with the screw. The
remote control will now be ready to
operate.

CHANGING SYSTEM CODE (optional)
The user can change the system code signal if interference occurs with opera

­tion. If you use other wireless products in your home, there is a slight possibility
of interference. Use the following instructions to change the current system code
setting to a new setting.
Important: If you change the system code on the motion sensor, you must also
change the code on the light control and remote control. If the system code does
not match on all items, the system will not function properly!

1. Turn off the power to the floodlights.

2. Unscrew the plug on the front of the light control case.

3. Pull out one of the two jumper shunts (black rectangular piece) and reposi

-

tion in a different position and note the letter designation for the new jumper
configuration.

4. Replace the plug and turn on the power to the light control.

5. Remove the wireless motion sensor bottom cover.

6. Set the two jumper shunts in the same jumper configuration as in the light

control.

7. Re-install the motion sensor bottom cover.

8. Remove remote control's back cover.

9. Set the two jumper shunts in the same jumper configuration as in the light

control and motion sensor.

10. Replace back cover.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS:
PROBLEM: Floodlights do not come on when there is motion in front of motion

sensor or when turned on by the remote control.
SUGGESTION: Confirm power is on at circuit breaker. Confirm wall switch has
been turned on. Confirm if unit works with remote control. Set the motion sens

­ing transmitter On-time switch to the "6 s" setting (leftmost position). Verify that
the yellow LED, behind the front lens, turns on when there is motion activity in
front of the motion sensor. If the LED does not turn on, check battery polarity or
replace the batteries in the motion sensor transmitter. Reset the On-time switch
to its original position.
Check that the floodlight assembly and receiver are mounted within 100’ of the
motion sensor or remote control. Check that the system code is the same in the
motion sensor and in the light control. Check that metal objects do not block the
motion sensor signal or move the light control.

PROBLEM: Floodlights go on and off randomly.
SUGGESTION: Change the system code in the motion sensor, light control, and

remote control.
