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.

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 ON-TIME switch in the 1, 5, or 20 position.

2-LEVEL LIGHTING 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.

INSTALLATION

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

For best performance, mount the ﬁ xture about 8 ft. (2.4 m) above the ground.

CAUTION: Keep the sensor at least 1" (2.5 cm) away from the lamps.

CAUTION: To Avoid Fire Or Burn Hazards:

• Allow ﬁ xture to cool before touching. The bulb and the ﬁ xture operate at high temperatures.

• Keep ﬁ xture at least 2" (5 cm) from combustible materials. Do not aim at objects closer than 3 feet. (1 m).

• Use only T3, 150W (max.) tungsten halogen 120 VAC lamps.

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. Also for proper under eave operation, remove the protective backing from the Light Shield and stick on as shown below.

For eave mount only:

❒ Swing the sensor head towards the clamp screw

joint.

WARNING: Turn power off at circuit breaker.

❒ Remove the existing light ﬁ xture. ❒ Install mounting strap to junction box using screws

appropriate for 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.

❒ Thread all ﬁ xture wires through the large holes in

the gasket as shown.

❒ Connect the junction box wires to the light ﬁ xture

wires as shown. Twist together and secure with wire connectors.

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.

BULB INSTALLATION

NOTE: Lamps are included, but you will need to

install them NOTE: When re-lamping, turn power off and let the ﬁ xture cool. ❒ Open glass covers. To remove the old bulb push the

bulb towards the right (with ﬁ xture as shown) until the left side of the bulb is clear of the left socket.

❒ To install a bulb, push the bulb into the right socket

so the bulb ﬁ ts completely into the left socket.

❒ Check that the bulb is seated properly. ❒ Close the glass covers.

Connect any ﬁ xture ground wire(s) and the cover plate ground screw to the junction box ground wire.

MOUNT THE LIGHT CONTROL

❒ Place the Mounting Bolt through the front of the

junction box cover. Push the small gasket hole over the Mounting Screw.

❒ Make sure the wire connectors and wires are inside

the junction box. Align the Mounting Screw with the center hole in the Mounting Strap. Secure the ﬁ xture to the Mounting Strap.

Push the Rubber Plug over the mounting screw.

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

❒ Push the Rubber Plug ﬁ rmly into place. ❒ If not installed on a weatherproof box, caulk the

wall plate and mounting surface with silicone

❒ Adjust the lamp holders by loosening the lock nuts

but do not rotate the lamp holders more than 180° from the factory setting.

Bottom of Sensor

Avoid aiming the sensor 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.
