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

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 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 ﬁxture 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 ﬁxture to cool before touching. The bulb and the ﬁxture operate at high temperatures.

• Keep ﬁxture 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.

WIRE THE LIGHT CONTROL.

❒ Turn power off at the fuse or circuit breaker. ❒ Remove the existing light ﬁxture. ❒ Install mounting strap to junction box using screws

appropriate for 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.

❒ Thread all ﬁxture wires through the large holes in

the gasket as shown.

❒ Connect the junction box wires to the light ﬁxture

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 ﬁxture cool. ❒ Open glass covers. To remove the old bulb push the

bulb towards the right (with ﬁxture 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 ﬁts completely into the left socket.

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

Connect any ﬁxture 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 ﬁxture 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 ﬁrmly 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 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.
