OPERATION

Mode: On-Time: Works: Day Night

Test 5 Sec x x Auto 1, 5, 20 min. x Manual Until Dawn* x

* resets to Auto Mode at dawn.

Note: When first turned on wait about 1 1/2 minutes for

the circuitry to calibrate.

TEST

Put ON-TIME switch on the sensor bottom to TEST and the Dual Brite™ switch OFF.

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

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 ONTIME switch in the 1, 5, or 10 position.

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

qualified electrician.

• This product is intended for use with the enclosed gasket and with a junction box marked for use in wet locations.

* If you get confused while switching modes, turn the

power off for one minute, then back on. After the calibration time the control will be in the AUTO mode.

Dual Brite™ 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 ONTIME (1,5 or 20 minutes) then returns to dim mode.

INSTALLATION

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

Eave Mount

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.

❒ For model SL-5318 only, 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 firmly into place. ❒ If a wet location junction box was not used, caulk

the wall plate mounting surface with silicone weather sealant.

WIRE THE LIGHT CONTROL.

❒ Turn power off at the fuse or circuit breaker. ❒ Remove the existing light fixture. ❒ Install the mounting strap as shown using two screws

that fit your junction box.

❒ The plastic hanger can be used to hold the fixture

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.

To avoid water damage and electrical shock, keep lamp holders 30° below horizontal.

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

Lock Nut

sensor. Do not allow the lamps to block the lens.Lens

❒ 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 floodlamps, do not overtighten.

TEST AND ADJUSTMENT

❒ Turn on the circuit breaker and light switch. ❒ Turn the RANGE control to the mid position, Dual

Brite™ to OFF and the ON-TIME control to the TEST position.

NOTE: Sensor has a 1 1/2 minute warm up period

before it will detect motion. When first turned on, wait 1 1/2 minutes.

MAX

MIN

• Objects that change temperature rapidly, such as heating vents and air conditioners. These heat sources could cause false triggering.

• Areas where pets or traffic may trigger the control.

• Nearby large, light-colored objects reflecting light may trigger the shut-off feature. Do not point other lights at the sensor.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

SYMPTOM Lights will not come

on.

Lights come on in daylight.

Lights come on for no apparent reason.

Lights turn off too late in Dusk-toDawn setting

POSSIBLE CAUSE

1. Light switch is turned off.

2. Flood light is loose or burned out.

3. Fuse is blown or circuit breaker is turned off.

4. Daylight turn-off is in effect

check after dark)

5. Incorrect circuit wiring, if this is a new installation.

6. Re-aim the sensor to cover desired area.

1. Light Control may be installed in a relatively dark location.

2. Light Control is in Test.

(re-

(Set control switch to an ON-TIME position)

1. Light Control may be sensing small animals or automobile traffic

(re-aim sensor)

2. Range is set too high.

(Reduce Range)

3. Dual Brite™ Timer is on.

1. Sensor is in a relatively dark location.

(Relocate sensor, or

use 3 hr or 6 hr setting.)

SYMPTOM Lights stay on

continuously.

Lights flash on and off.

Lights flash once, then stay off in Manual Mode.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

1. A flood lamp is positioned too close to the sensor or pointed at nearby objects that cause heat to trigger the sensor.

(Reposition the lamp away

from the sensor or nearby objects)

2. Light Control is pointed toward a heat source like an air vent, dryer vent, or brightly-painted heat-reflective surface.

(Reposition sensor. Reduce Range)

3. Light Control is in Manual Mode.

(Switch to Auto.)

1. Heat or light from the lamps may be turning the Light Control on and off.

(Reposition the lamps away from the sensor)

2. Heat being reflected from other objects may be affecting the sensor.

(Reposition sensor)

3. Light Control is in the Test mode and warming up.

(Flashing is normal un-

der these conditions. Turn Boost off.)

4. Light may be leaking through the floodlamp reflectors.

(Replace the lamps with new high quality PAR 38 lamps or on Model SL-5318, make sure the metal lamp protectors are installed)

1. Sensor is detecting its own lights.

(Reposition lamps to keep area below the sensor relatively dark.)
