WIRING
WARNING: Turn power off at circuit breaker
or fuse.
Note: All wiring should be run in accordance with the
National Electrical Code through conduit or another
acceptable means. Contact a qualified electrician
if there is any question as to the suitability of
the system.
CAUTION: DO NOT connect the RED wire
unless you want to control other lights from
the motion sensor (see Optional Wiring).
Connect the fixture wires to the wires in the junction
box. Twist the wires together and secure with wire
connectors.
Recommended Grounding Method
Use a green ground “pigtail” (not provided) and
twist one end together with the bare fixture wire
and the box ground wire. Secure with a wire connector. Secure the other end of the “pigtail” with
the GND screw on the X-bar.

method, consult your local building code.

OPTIONAL WIRING
This fixture is provided with a sensor rated for 360 Watts. Since the fixture is only rated 100 Watts, 260 Watts
of additional lighting 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 specifies 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.
Wiring Diagram 1 – When wiring to control a standard light fixture: Strip the motion sensor’s red wire
and connect to the standard light’s black wire. Connect all white wires together. Total fixture ratings must not
exceed 360 Watts (3.0 A).
Wiring Diagram 2 – When wiring to control another motion sensing light fixture (Master / Slave):
the red wire in both light fixtures. Connect the red wire of the controlling (master) fixture to the red and black
wires of the controlled (slave) fixture. Connect all white wires together. Total fixture ratings must not exceed
360 Watts (3.0 A).
Wiring Diagram 3 – When wiring so either motion light turns on the both motion lights (Master / Master):
Strip the red wire in both light fixtures. Connect the red wire of one fixture to the red wire of the second fixture.
Note: In most installations, an additional wire (same gage as existing house wire) will have to be installed in
the house to connect the two fixtures as master / master. Connect all white wires together and all black wires
together. Total fixture ratings must not exceed 360 Watts (3.0 A).

TESTING AND ADJUSTMENTS
TEST 510DUSK
MINUTES TO DAWN
– +
SEN
1. 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.
2. Set:
ON-TIME switch to TEST
SENSITIVITY dial to Midway
Photocell
3.
Walk through the coverage area noting where you
are when the lights turn on. In TEST mode, light
will stay on for 5 seconds after sensing motion and
then turn off.
4. Adjust the SENSITIVITY to increase or decrease
the range as needed. Too much sensitivity may
cause false triggering due to heat sources in the
coverage area (see Adjustment of Coverage Area
or Troubleshooting section).
5. Set the amount of ON-TIME you want the light to
stay on after motion is detected (5 or 10 minutes)
or...
Set the ON-TIME to the DUSK-to-DAWN setting
if you want the light to stay on all night, every
night. The photocell will turn the light off during
the day.

ADJUSTMENT OF COVERAGE AREA
The sensor on this light fixture detects “motion” by the
movement of heat across the coverage area. However,
following are examples of objects that also produce
heat and can cause the sensor to trigger:
• Pools of Water • Air Conditioners
• Dryer Vents • Animals
• Heating Vents • Automobile Traffic
If you suspect that a heat source of this type is trig-
gering the sensor, reduce the sensitivity.
