Installation

Caution: Before starting the installation, turn the power off at the

CirCuit Breaker.

If you want to use the Manual Override feature you will need to install the fixture on a circuit controlled
by a switch. The lamps are packed in boxes, inside the lampheads. Open the lampheads by removing
the screws at the top. Use a clean cloth or the foam packing around the lamps to keep your fingers off
the lamps. Install the lamps in the right side of the sockets first, then the left. Close the lampheads and
continue the installation as shown below.

Wall Mount Eave Mount

❒ Loosen the thumbscrews holding the sensor

head and lampheads.

❒ Adjust the various parts so that the fixture

looks similar to this illustration.

❒ Finger tighten the thumbscrews at this time.

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 3" (76 mm) from combustible materials.
Do not aim at objects closer than 3' (1 m).

• Use only type T 250W (max.) tungsten halogen 120 VAC
lamps.

Mount Fixture with Crossbar

Mounting Bracket

❒

Turn power off at the fuse or circuit breaker.

❒ Remove the existing light fixture (if appli-

cable).

❒ Install the mounting bracket as shown using

two screws supplied in hardware pack that fit
your junction box:

Rectangular Junction Box - Use two #6-32

x 3/4" screws.

Circular or Octagonal Junction Box - Use

two #8-32 x 3/8" screws.

Watertight Junction Box - Use two #10-24

x 1/2" screws.

❒ The plastic hanger can be used to hold the fix-

ture 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
bracket.

❒ Route the light control’s wires through the

large gasket holes.

Standard Wiring

CAUTION: If you have not already turned the
power off at the breaker or fuse, do so now.

Connect the junction box wires to the fixture wires.
Twist together and secure with wire connectors.

CAUTION: If you are not controlling additional
fixtures from your JourneyMan® fixture, DO NOT
connect the RED wire or remove wire connector.

Controlling Non-Motion Sensing Fixtures

❒ When wiring to additional standard fixture

only: Strip the motion sensor's red wire and

connect to the standard fixture's
Connect all white wires together. Total fixture
ratings must not exceed 1000 Watts (8.3 A).

NOTE: All wiring between fixtures should be run

in accordance with the National Electrical
Code (Canadian Electrical Code in Canada)
through conduit or another acceptable means.

Contact a qualified electrician if there is any
question as to the suitability of the system.

❒ This fixture is provided with a sensor rated

for 1000 Watts. Since the fixture is only rated
500 Watts, 500 Watts of additional load may
be controlled by this sensor.

❒ When determining what a fixture is rated for,

do not simply look at the rating on the lamp in
the fixture. Look at the marking which speci
fies the maximum lamp wattage for which the
fixture is suitable.

❒

Once you have selected the fixtures to be con­nected and determined their maximum ratings,
add these ratings up. For instance, if you have 3
fixtures rated 100 Watts, 150 Watts, and 75 Watts
respectively, you have a total load of 325 Watts.

Adjustments Continued . . .

❒ Loosen the two thumb screws. Estimate the direction to aim the sensor

and tighten the thumbscrews just enough to hold the sensor in place.

NOTE: The top screw allows the sensor to rotate side to side. The bot

tom screw allows the sensor to rotate up and down.

❒ 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).
Loosen the thumbscrews and readjust the sensor as necessary. Tighten
the thumbscrews (finger tight) when you are satisfied with the coverage
direction.

keep the controls facing downward.

❒ Adjust RANGE as needed to increase or decrease the range. Too much

sensitivity may cause false triggering in some environments.

❒ For maximum range, the sensor must be aiming straight out.
❒ Set the amount of TIME (1, 5, or 20 minutes) you want the lights to stay

on after motion is detected at night.

❒ Release the tab on metal door to allow door to close.

Keep the sensor at least 1 inch (25 mm) from lamps and

If the wide angle (270°) coverage is too wide for
your application, you may need to use one or both
shields to reduce the coverage angle.

❒

Decide which side of the lens you want to cover.

❒ Pull the lens shield out to block a portion of

the lens. Each lens shield will reduce the cov
erage area by approximately 35° when fully
extended.

Troubleshooting Guide

SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) CORRECTIVE ACTION(S)
Lights will not come on

Lights come on in
daylight

Lights come on for no
apparent reason

Lights stay on
continuously

Lights flash on and off

1. Light switch is turned off.

2. Flood light is loose or burned out.

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

4. Daylight turnoff is in effect.

5. Incorrect circuit wiring, if this is a new instal
lation.

6. Sensor does not detect objects in desired
area.

1. Control may be installed in a relatively dark
location.

2. Control is in Test.

1. Control may be sensing small animals or
automobile traffic.

2. Range is set too high.

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

2. Control is pointed at a heat source like an
air vent, dryer vent, or brightly-painted heat­reflective surface.

1. Heat or light from the lamps may be turning
the light control on and off.

2. Reflected heat from other objects are trig­gering the sensor.

3. Control is in warming up.

4. Control is in Test.

1. Turn light switch on.

2. Tighten or replace flood light.

3. Replace fuse or turn circuit breaker on.

4. Recheck after dark.

-

5. Check circuit wiring.

6. Re-aim sensor to cover desired area. In
crease Range Boost.

1. Relocate light fixture to another junction
box with increased amount of daylight.

2. Set control switch to an ON-TIME position.

1. Re-aim sensor or use lens shield.

2. Reduce range. Turn Range Boost off.

1. Aim the lamp away from the sensor or
objects.

2. Re-aim sensor or use lens shield. Turn
Range Boost off.

1. Aim lamps away from the sensor. Turn
Range Boost off.

2. Re-aim sensor. Turn Range Boost off.

3. Flashing is normal under these conditions.
Wait 1 minute for sensor to warm up.

4. Set control switch to an ON-TIME position.
