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 a junction box
marked for use in wet locations.
• The backplate has knockouts so the sensor can be
mounted on most junction boxes.
• In some applications a universal adaptor plate may
be needed. Adaptors are available at home centers
and electrical supply stores.
Put the ON-TIME switch in the 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 10 position.

❒ Drill the holes needed
to mount the backplate
to the junction box.
Wall MountEave Mount
WARNING: Turn power off at the fuse or circuit
breaker.
❒ Remove the existing light fixture.

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:
❒ Rotate the sensor head towards the clamp screw
joint.

Joint Clamp
❒ Then rotate the sensor head clockwise 180° so the
controls face down.
Mount the Light ControL
❒ Align the light control cover plate and the junction
box holes. Secure with the mounting screws.
❒ If not installed on a weatherproof box or if an adaptor
plate (not included) was used, caulk the wall plate
and mounting surface with silicone.
Avoid water damage and
electrical shock - keep lamp
holders below horizontal.
Keep lamps at
least 1" (25 mm)
from the sensor.
Lock nuts
❒ 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.
❒
Set 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.

❒ 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. 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.
❒ Secure the sensor head by
tightening the clamp screw.
Do not overtighten the screw.
❒
Set the ON-TIME control to 10

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