Light comes on half bright for selected time after dusk
(Off, 3 hr., 6 hr., until dawn). Selecting OFF disables this
feature. The motion sensing features will continue to work
as described in this manual. If motion is sensed, the light
turns on full bright for the ON-TIME (1, 5, or 20 minutes)

®

then returns to dim mode.

LAMP MODES

There are three lamp modes (light turn-on effects) avail­able when motion is detected:

• NORMAL - Light instantly comes on.

• SOFT - Light starts dim and gradually increases to full

brightness. Light gradually dims to half-bright, pauses,
and then continues dimming to off when motion is no
longer detected and after selected ON-TIME.

• FLASH - Light flashes on then off twice before turning

on full brightness.

INSTALLATION

Wire the light Control

NOTE:

If fixture is mounted higher than 8 ft. (2.4 m), aiming

the sensor down will reduce coverage distance.

For under eave installation, the sensor head must be
rotated as shown in the next two steps for proper opera-

tion and to avoid the risk of electrical shock.

For eave mount only:

❒ Swing the sensor head towards the clamp screw

joint.

Controls

Clamp Screw

❒ Then rotate the sensor head clockwise 180° so the

controls face down.

Controls

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.

These instructions show the sensor wired to floodlamps.
The white sensor wire is neutral. The black sensor

wire is hot. The red wire is the switched “hot” wire. The
lighting load (300 Watts, 2.5 A max. incandescent only)
is placed across the white and red wires.

WARNING: Turn power off at circuit breaker or

fuse.

❒ Remove the existing light fixture, if present.
❒ After screwing the sensor into the wall plate, connect

the junction box wires to the light control wires by twist­ing together and securing with wire connectors.

Optional: Connect additional
load across the white and red
wires. Total lighting load includ­ing lampheads on fixture must
not exceed 300W (2.5A).

Mount the light

❒ Follow the instructions that came with your light fix-

ture for mounting and adjusting the light fixture.

❒ Keep regular PAR-38 lamps at least 1" (25 mm) from

the sensor. Halogen lamps should be kept at least 2"
(51 mm) from the sensor.

❒ 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 or when
switching modes wait 1 1/2 minutes.

❒ Turn the RANGE control to the medium position

(halfway between MIN and MAX), DualBrite® to OFF,
and the ON-TIME control to the TEST position.

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 unwanted 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 POSSIBLE CAUSE
Lights will not come on.

Lights come on in daylight.

Lights come on for no appar­ent reason.

Lights turn off too late in Dusk­to-Dawn setting

Lights stay on continuously.

Lights flash on and off.

Lights flash once, then stay off
in Manual Mode.

1. Light switch is turned off.

2. Light is loose or burned out.

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

4. Daylight turn-off is in effect (recheck 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. (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. DualBrite® Timer is on.

1. Sensor is in a relatively dark location. (Relocate sensor, or use 3 hr or 6 hr setting.)

1. A 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 sen
sor).

3. Light control is in the Test mode and warming up. (Flashing is normal under 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 make sure the metal lamp protectors are installed)

5. Light control is in Flash mode. (Flashing is normal in this mode. Select Normal or Soft
mode to turn flash mode off).

1. Sensor is detecting its own lights. (Reposition lamps to keep area below the sensor
relatively dark.)
