Testing the Wireless
Transmission Range
Ƒ Determine the area to be monitored and
temporarily position the motion sensor (A)
where it will be mounted.
Ƒ Walk in front of the motion sensor (A) to verify
the light socket control (B) is receiving the
signal from the motion sensor (A).
NOTE: A second person may be needed to watch for the
light to be turned ON when motion is detected. Make sure
the light is in the ON position.
5
Mounting the Motion Sensor
Ƒ Attach the motion sensor (A) mounting bracket
(1) to a sturdy surface using the screws (AA).
Make sure the motion sensor (A) has an
unobstructed view of the area to be monitored.
NOTE: Attach the mounting bracket (1) vertically when
attaching it to a curved surface.
NOTE: If needed, loosen the clamp screw (2) on the
mounting bracket (1) and remove the motion sensor
(A) until the mounting bracket (1) is installed. Once the

Ƒ Rotate the motion sensor (A) so the controls
face toward the ground.
NOTICE: To avoid water damage, the motion sensor (A) controls
must face the ground when the installation is complete.

Setting the Motion Sensor for
Testing
When the “ON-TIME” switch is set to the “TEST”
position, the light xture will operate during the day
or night. The light will stay on for 5 seconds after all
motion is stopped.
Ƒ Set the “ON-TIME” switch to the “TEST”
position.
Ƒ Turn the “RANGE” dial to the “MIN” position.
Ƒ Aim the motion sensor (A) in the general
direction of the area to be covered.
NOTE: The motion sensor will need to completely warm
up (90 seconds) before beginning the setup process.

Adjusting the Motion Sensor
Detection Zone
Ƒ Perform a “walk test”. Walk in an arc across
the front of the motion sensor (A).
Ƒ Watch the light controlled by the light socket
control (B). The light will come on and the red
LED inside the control panel will ash when
motion has been detected.
Ƒ Stop, wait for the light to turn off, and then
begin walking again.
Ƒ Continue this process until the detection zone
has been established.
Ƒ Adjust the motion sensor (A) up, down, or side
to side to change the area being monitored.
NOTE: A second person may be needed to watch for the
light to be turned ON when motion is detected. Make sure
the light is in the ON position.
4
Adjusting the RANGE Dial on
the Motion Sensor
Ƒ To increase the detection zone, turn the
“RANGE” dial toward the “MAX” position.
Ƒ To decrease the detection zone, turn the
“RANGE” dial toward the “MIN” position.
NOTE: The motion sensor (A) is more sensitive to motion
moving across the front of the sensor. The motion sensor
(A) is less sensitive to motion moving directly toward the
front of the sensor.
NOTE: The higher the “RANGE” setting (sensitivity), the
greater the possibility of false triggering. To reduce false
triggering, rotate the “RANGE” control toward the “MIN”
setting.

motion is detected. The “DETECT” switch is located in
the battery compartment. Remove the batteries to set
this switch.
Ƒ Set the “DETECT” switch to NIGHT ONLY or
DAY/NIGHT (24 hour operation).

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Solution
The light will not come on. Ƒ The bulb is loose or burned out. Ƒ Check the bulb and replace
if burned out.
Ƒ The switch on the light is turned off. Ƒ Verify the switch on the
light is turned on.
Ƒ Weak batteries are in the motion
sensor.
Ƒ Check battery charge and
replace if necessary.
Ƒ The fuse is blown or the circuit breaker
is turned off.
Ƒ Replace the fuse or turn the
circuit breaker on.
Ƒ The light socket control does not re-
spond immediately after installation.
Ƒ Wait for the 90-second
initialization period after
installing batteries or turning units on.
Ƒ Signals from the motion sensor are
being blocked, or the motion sensor is
out of range.
Ƒ Check for metal objects
that could block the signal,
or reposition the motion
sensor.
Ƒ Daylight turn-off (photocell) is in effect. Ƒ Recheck after dark.
Ƒ The motion sensor is aimed in the
wrong direction.
Ƒ Re-aim the motion sensor
to cover the desired area.
Ƒ The outside air temperature is close to
the same as a person’s body heat.
Ƒ Increase the “RANGE”
setting.
Ƒ The light is defective. Ƒ Test using a different light.
Ƒ The dip switches on the motion sensor
and light socket control do not match.
Ƒ Verify the code settings on
the motion sensor and light
socket control are set the
same.
Ƒ The light socket control is receiving
interference from another transmitter.
Ƒ Change the code setting on
the motion sensor and the
light socket control. See
Code Setting on page 10.

Problem Possible Cause Solution
The light comes on for no
apparent reason.
Ƒ The motion sensor may be sensing
small animals or automobile trafc.
Ƒ Re-aim the motion sensor.
Ƒ The “RANGE” dial is set too high. Ƒ Decrease the “RANGE”
setting.
Ƒ The outside temperature is much
warmer or cooler than a person’s body
heat (summer or winter).
Ƒ Decrease the “RANGE”
setting.
Ƒ There was a short term power outage. Ƒ The next transmission from
the motion sensor will reset
the light socket control to
the correct state.
Ƒ The light socket control is receiving
interference from another transmitter.
Ƒ Change the code setting on
the motion sensor and the
light socket control. See
Code Setting on page 10.
The lights stay on continuously. Ƒ The motion sensor may be picking up
a heat source like an air vent, dryer
vent, or brightly painted, heat-reective
surface.
Ƒ Decrease the “RANGE”
setting or reposition the
motion sensor.
Ƒ Weak batteries are in the motion
sensor.
Ƒ Check battery charge and
replace if necessary.
Ƒ Signals from the motion sensor are
being blocked, or the motion sensor is
out of range.
Ƒ Check for metal objects
that could block the signal,
or reposition the motion
sensor.
Ƒ Dip switches on the motion sensor and
light socket control do not match.
Ƒ Verify the code settings on
motion sensor and light
socket control are set the
same.

Code Setting
1
Locating the Dip Switches
It is recommended to only change one code position at
a time and then check to see if system is functioning
properly.
Ƒ On the motion sensor (A), open the battery
cover and remove the batteries to locate the
dip switches.
Ƒ Unscrew the light socket control (B). Remove
the cover plate on the rear to locate the dip
switches.

Changing the Group Setting
If more than one system of motion sensing controls
is desired, use the 4th dip switch to change the
group setting. This allows multiple systems to work
separately from each other.
Ƒ Change the 4th dip switch on both the motion
sensor (A) and the light socket control (B) to
change the units to another group setting.
NOTE: The motion sensor (A) and light socket control
(B) must have the same code and group setting to work
together.

Changing the Code Setting
The motion sensor (A) and light socket control (B)
both have four different dip switches. Dip switches 1
through 3 are used for setting the code. Change the
code whenever the light socket control (B) is receiving
interference from another transmitter.
Ƒ Change the same dip switch setting on both
the motion sensor (A) and the light socket
control (B). Example: Move dip switch 1 to the
“ON” position.
NOTE: Dip switch 4 sets the group (A or B). This dip
switch must match for the two units to communicate.
