product. We at DESA Specialty

☞ Rugged gripping teeth and finger screw provide full three-dimension adjustment of sensor head. ☞ Eight silicon rubber gaskets seal internal components and controls from severe environmental conditions. ☞ Stainless steel screws to prevent rust and corrosion. ☞ Built in 1.25 Mega Watt surge protection. ☞ A.S.I.C. (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) design allows more reliable performance. ☞ Range Boost option to extend range for those hard to cover areas. ☞ Extremely wide angle coverage (up to 270°). ☞ Easy to control other lights with your JourneyMan

fixture (up to 1000 Watts total load).

☞ Expanded lens area receives more infrared light improving detection sensitivity. ☞ Pulse count technology reduces false sensing from wind and rain for professional reliability. ☞ Automatic photocell deactivates unit in daylight to save energy. ☞ Power outage reset. Turns light off automatically if turned on by power interruption or electrical storm. ☞ Selectable light timer to set the time lights stay on after motion has been detected. ☞ Sensitivity control allows adjustment of coverage range. ☞ Manual override to turn lights on/off at your convenience with existing indoor wall switch.

Installation

CAUTION: BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION, TURN THE POWER OFF AT THE

CIRCUIT BREAKER.

If you want to use the Manual Override feature you will need to install the fixture on a circuit controlled by a switch.

If you are mounting the JourneyMan

fixture to a small rectangular box, you will need to use the universal adaptor as shown below. Other boxes may require the adaptor adjusted differently.

If you are using a standard octagon box, the adaptor is probably not required.

Use these holes and the #8-

32 X 3/8" (10 mm) screws

provided to secure the fixture.

#6-32 screw

Standard WiringUniversal Adaptor

CAUTION: If you have not already turned the power off at the breaker or fuse, do so now.

Make sure the gasket is in place before connecting any wires. You may find it convenient to use the wire hanger provided to hold the fixture to the junction box during the wiring process.

Connect the junction box wires to the fixture wires. Twist together and secure with wire connectors.

CAUTION: If you are not controlling additional fixtures from your JourneyMan connect the RED wire.

Controlling Non-Motion Sensing Fixtures

❒ When wiring to additional standard fixture

only: Strip the motion sensor's red wire and connect to the standard light's black wire. Con- nect all white wires together. Total fixture ratings must not exceed 1000W (8.3 A).

NOTE: All wiring between fixtures should be run

in accordance with the National Electrical Code through conduit or another acceptable means.

Contact a qualified electrician if there is any question as to the suitability of the system.

❒ This fixture is provided with a sensor rated

for 1000W. Since the fixture is only rated 300W, 700W of additional load may be controlled by this sensor.

❒ When determining what a fixture is rated for,

do not simply look at the rating on the lamp in the fixture. Look at the marking which specifies the maximum lamp wattage for which the fixture is suitable.

❒ Once you have selected the fixtures to be con-

nected and determined their maximum ratings, add these ratings up. For instance, if you have 3 fixtures rated 100W, 150W, and 75W respectively, you have a total load of 325W.

Test and Adjustment

NOTES: When first turned on wait about 1 1/

minutes for the circuitry to calibrate. Testing with Range Boost on during day-

light may result in abnormal operation.

❒ Tu rn on the circuit breaker and light switch. ❒ Open the control access cover (on bottom of unit)

by pulling down on the tab of the rubber cover.

❒ Turn the sensitivity control to the center of its

adjustment, RANGE BOOST to OFF and the ON-TIME to TEST position.

Don't aim the control at:

• Objects that change temperature rapidly, such

as heating vents and air conditioners, to help avoid false triggering.

•Where pets or traffic may trigger the control.

• Nearby large, light-colored objects reflect-

ing light may trigger the shut-off feature. Do not point other lights at the sensor.

Adjustments Continued . . .

❒ Loosen the wing screws, estimate the direction to aim the sensor and

tighten the wing screws just enough to hold the sensor in place.

❒ Walk through the coverage area noting where you are when the lights

turn on. Loosen the wing screws and readjust the sensor as necessary. Tighten the wing screws (finger tight) when you are satisfied with the coverage direction. Keep the sensor at least 1 inch (25 mm) from

lamps and keep the controls on the bottom.

❒ Adjust SENSITIVITY as needed to increase or decrease the range. Too

much sensitivity may increase false triggering.

❒ Set the amount of TIME (1, 5 or 20 minutes) you want the lights to stay

on after motion is detected at night .

❒ If you need to detect objects more than 70 feet (21 m) away, turn Range

Boost on.

❒ Replace the rubber cover to protect controls.

Expected Coverage

The sensor is less sensitive to motion directly towards it, most sensitive to motion across its field of view.

When mounted 8 feet (2.4 m) from the ground, you may expect the range shown below. If mounted much higher the sensor may miss objects near the ground. If mounted much lower the sensor range may be reduced.

If the wide angle (270°) coverage is too wide for your application, you may need to install the lens shield to reduce the coverage angle.

❒ Decide which side of the lens you want to cover. ❒ Curve the shield as shown. Slide the shield

down, under the two metal ribs of the case. Make sure the shield slides all the way down so the entire shield will lay directly against the lens.

❒ Slip the small protrusion behind the vertical

metal rib to hold the top of the shield in place.
