INSTALLATION
For easy installation, select an existing light with a wall
switch for replacement.
❒ Route the light control’s wires through the large
gasket holes.
❒ Twist the junction box wires and fixture wires together
as shown. Secure with wire connectors.
Wall 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.
❒ 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.
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
WARNING: 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.
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
❒ 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.
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.
❒ Turn the RANGE control to the mid position and the
ON-TIME control to the TEST position.

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.

❒ 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).
