Requirements
• The Light Control requires 120-volts AC.
• If you want to use Manual Mode, the control must be
wired through a switch.
• Some codes require installation by a qualifi ed
electrician.
• This product is intended for use with the enclosed
gasket and with a junction box marked for use in wet
locations.
TEST
Put the ON-TIME switch on the bottom
of the sensor in the TEST position.
AUTO
Put the ON-TIME switch in the 1, 5,
or 10 minute position.
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

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

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.
Shell Slot
❒ Push the Rubber Plug fi rmly 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.
WARNING: Turn power off at the fuse or circuit
breaker.
❒ Remove the existing light fi xture.
❒ Install the mounting strap as shown using two screws
that fi t your junction box.
❒ The plastic hanger can be used to hold the fi xture
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.
Keep lamps at least
1" (2.5 cm) from the
Lock Nut
❒ 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
fl oodlamps, 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 fi rst turned
on, wait 1 1/2 minutes.
❒ Turn the RANGE control to the mid position and the
ON-TIME control to the TEST position.

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 traffi c may trigger the control.
• Nearby large, light-colored objects refl ecting 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 fl ash 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" (2.5 cm) away from
the lamps.
❒ 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.
❒ Set the amount of TIME you want the lights to stay
on after motion is detected (1, 5, or 10 minutes).
WARNING: Risk of fi re. Do not aim the lamps
at a combustible surface within 3 ft. (1 m).
