Requirements
• The light control requires 120-volts AC. Do not con-
nect through a dimmer or other electronic switch.
• 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 the enclosed
gasket and 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.

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.

INSTALLATION
For easy installation, select an existing light with a wall
switch for replacement.
For best performance, locate the fixture about 8 ft. (2.4 m)
above the ground.
CAUTION: The sensor must be mounted below the
lamp housing for wall installations.
❒ To insert the new 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 cover. Replace screw.
Wire the Light ControL
WARNING: Turn power off at the fuse or circuit
breaker.
❒ Drill out the holes if needed
to mount the backplate to the
junction box.
CAUTION to avoid fire or burn hazards:
• Allow fixture to cool before touching. The bulb
and 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).
• Re-lamp with type T 150W (or less) halogen 120
VAC lamp only.
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.
❒ Rotate the sensor head to-
wards the clamp screw joint.

Controls
❒ Remove the existing light fixture.
❒ Strip about 5/8" insulation from the existing junction
box wiring.
❒ Route the light control’s wires through the large
hole in the gasket.
❒ Twist the junction box wires and fixture wires together
as shown. Secure with wire connectors.

❒ Then rotate the sensor
head counterclockwise
180° so the controls face
down.
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.
BuLB instaLLation and reLaMping
❒ When relamping, turn power off and let the fixture
cool.
❒ Remove the screw that holds the glass cover shut.
Remove the old bulb by pushing the bulb towards
the right until the left side of the bulb is clear of the
left socket.
Mount the Light ControL
❒ Align the light control cover plate and cover plate
gasket and the junction box. Insert and tighten the
mounting screws.
❒ If not installed on a weatherproof box or if an adaptor
plate is used, caulk the wall plate and mounting
surface with silicone weather sealant.
RIGHT WRONG
The halogen light must be
mounted horizontally (+/- 4°).

TEST AND ADJUSTMENT
❒ Turn on the circuit breaker and light switch.
NOTE: Sensor requires about 1 1/2 minutes to calibrate
before it will detect motion. When first turned
on, wait about 1 1/2 minutes.
❒
Set the ON-TIME control to the TEST position.
ON-TIME
10 TEST
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.

8 ft.
(2.4 m)
❒ Loosen the clamp screw in the
sensor ball joint and gently
rotate the sensor to aim.
❒ 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" (25 mm) away from
the lamps.
❒ Secure the sensor head into
position by tightening the
clamp screw. Do not over-
tighten the screw.
❒
Set the ON-TIME control to 10
minutes.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
SYMPTOM
Light will not
come on.
Light comes on
in daylight.
Light comes on
for no apparent
reason.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. Light switch is turned off.
2. Halogen lamp 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. Not aimed correctly (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 (Select 1, 5
or 10 minutes for AUTO time).
1. Light control’s sensor may be detect
ing small animals, swaying trees, or
automobile traffic (Re-aim sensor).
2. Sensitivity is set too high (Reduce
sensitivity).
SYMPTOM
Light stays on
continuously.
Light flashes
on and off.
-
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. The halogen lamp is positioned too
close to the light control’s 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’s sensor is pointed toward
a heat source like an air vent, dryer
vent, or brightly-painted heat-reflective
surface (Reposition sensor).
3. On-time set too high (Reduce Time
setting).
1. Heat or light from the halogen lamp
may be turning the light control on
and off (Reposition the lamp away
from the sensor).
2. Heat being reflected from other
objects may be affecting the light
control (Re-aim sensor).
3. Light control is in the TEST mode
and warming up (Flashing is normal
under these conditions).
