Auto	1, 5, 10 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 the ON-TIME switch on the bottom	ON-TIME
of the sensor in the TEST position.

AUTO
Put the ON-TIME switch in the 1, 5 or		ON-TIME
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 ONTIME switch in the 1, 5, or 10 position.

1 Second OFF

Wall Mount			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.	Controls

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.

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.

Junction box ground wire to green ground screw on fixture.

MOUNT THE LIGHT CONTROL.

Align the Light Control cover plate and cover plate gasket. Secure with the mounting bolt.

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.

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 al-
	low the lamps to
Lens	block the 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 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.

Bottom of Sensor

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 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.

The detector is most sensitive to motion across its field of view.

Motion

Motion

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 flash 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 fire. Do not aim the lamps at a combustible surface within 3 ft. (1 m).
