TEST

Put the ON-TIME switch on the
bottom of the sensor in the TEST
position.

AUTO

Put the ON-TIME switch in the 1, 5,
or 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
ON-TIME switch in the 1, 5, or 10
position.

• 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 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.

INSTALLATION

Wire the Light Control

For easy installation, select an existing light operated
by a wall switch for replacement.

For best performance, mount the fixture about 8 feet
(2.4 m) above the ground. NOTE:
higher than 8 ft. (2.4 m), aiming the sensor down will reduce
coverage distance.

❒ Drill the holes needed

to mount the backplate
to the junction box.

If fixture is mounted

WARNING: Turn power off at the fuse or circuit

breaker.

❒ Remove the existing light fixture.
❒ Route the light control’s wires through the large

gasket hole.

❒ Connect the junction box wires to the light control

wires. Twist together and secure with a wire
connector.

Eave Mount Wall Mount

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.

Control Switch

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.

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.

The detector is most sensitive to motion across its field
of view.

medium

and the

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.

Sensor

Least Sensitive Most Sensitive

❒ 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.

❒ Adjust the SENSITIVITY

as n e e ded . Too much
sensitivity may increase false
triggering.

❒ Secure the sensor head by

tightening the clamp screw.

Do not overtighten the screw.

❒ Set the amount of TIME you want the lights to stay

on after motion is detected (1, 5, or 10 minutes).

Warning - Risk of fire. Do not aim the lamps at a
combustible surface within 3 ft. (1 m).
