INSTALLATION

Estimated Installation Time: 30 minutes
Items needed for installation (not included):

• Phillips and flathead screwdrivers

• Pliers • Wire strippers/cutters

• Safety glasses • Light bulb

• Silicone caulk

For best performance, mount the fixture about
6 feet (1.8 m) above the ground.

This fixture comes with a universal mounting
bracket. It is pre-assembled on the fixture to
fit the majority of junction box applications.
However, if the slots on the mounting plate
do not line up with the junction box screw
holes:

1. Remove the fixture mounting screws from
the mounting plate. Note: Do not remove
the ground screw.

2. Attach ground wire “pigtail” to ground
screw on mo unti ng pl ate ( See
Recommended Grounding Method for
additional information).

3. Flip the mounting plate over.

4. Rotate the mounting plate so the wire path
is on the upper right. Note: The wire path
on the mounting plate must be located
as shown below to allow the wires on the
back of the fixture to pass through.

5. Reinstall the fixture mounting screws and
attach the mounting plate to the junction
box as shown.

WARNING: Turn power off at circuit

breaker or fuse.

1. Remove two nuts.

WIRING

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.

❒ Twist the junction box wires and the

fixture wires together as shown below.
Secure with wire connectors. If you have
a metal junction box, you may not need
the green “pigtail”. If you are unsure about
the grounding method, consult your local
building code.

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 mounting plate.

OPTIONAL WIRING

This fixture is provided with a sensor rated for 500 Watts. Since the fixture is only rated 100
Watts, 400 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 500 Watts (4.1 A).

Wiring Diagram 2 – When wiring to control another motion sensing light fixture (Master /
Slave): Strip 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 500 Watts (4.1 A).

It is also possible to wire two motion lights so that either fixture will turn on both lights at the
same time (dual master system). It is recommended that only people with plenty of electrical
experience attempt this configuration. Please call our customer service number (1-800-858­8501 - English speaking only) before attempting this wiring. If the dual master wiring is not

done correctly, it can destroy both motion sensing fixtures and void your warranty.

COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION

❒ Stuff the wires into the junction box. Make

sure the wires from the fixture go through
the wire path, and no wires get pinched.

Slide the fixture onto the

mounting screws and

tighten nuts.

Box

❒ Caulk fixture mounting surface with

silicone weather sealant.

❒ Install one 100 Watt maximum light bulb.
❒ If so equipped, install the fixture top. Secure

with decorative screws.

❒ If you will not be installing the optional tail

assembly, install the decorative nut onto
the bottom of the fixture now.

TESTING

❒ Turn on the circuit breaker and light

switch.

The detector is less sensitive to motion di­rectly towards it and more sensitive to across
motion.

Note: Sensor has a 1 1/2 minute warm up pe-

riod before it will detect motion. When
first turned on wait 1 1/2 minutes.

❒ Set SENSITIVITY to mid position and

ON-TIME to TEST position.

SENSITIVITY

Avoid aiming the control at:

• Pools of water or 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 daylight may trigger the shut-off
feature. Do not point other lights at the
sensor.

Light stays on

continuously.

Light flashes
