DualBrite® Dimmer Control
Light comes on half bright for selected time after dusk (Off, 3 hr., 6 hr., until dawn). Selecting
OFF disables this feature. The motion sensing
features will continue to work as described
in this manual. If motion is sensed, the light
turns on full bright for the ON-TIME (1, 5, or
20 minutes) then returns to dim mode.
INSTALLATION
WARNING: Turn power off at circuit
breaker or fuse.
1. On existing installations, remove the light
from the top of the post. Keep the wire
connectors to make the connections to
the top of the sensor.
CAUTION: When handling the sensor be
careful not to pinch or distort the lens. You
may break the seal and cause windblown
rain to enter the sensor.
2. Remove the three screws around the
bottom edge of the sensor. Save these
screws for later use.
3. Set the controls on the bottom as shown:
ON-TIME to TEST, DualBrite® (ACCENT)
OFF, and Sensitivity to mid-position.
4. Twist the wires from the post and the
bottom sensor wires together as shown.
Secure with wire connectors provided.
5. Make sure the wires and connectors are
all inside the post, then set the sensor
onto the post.
6. Start and temporarily tighten the three
screws previously removed from the sensor.
7. Twist the wires from the fixture and the top
sensor wires together as shown. Secure
with wire connectors saved from your
fixture.
8. Make sure all the wires and connectors
are inside the fixture/sensor wiring compartment. Set your coach light onto the
sensor and proceed to the adjustments
on the next page.

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 reflect-
ing daylight may trigger the shut-off feature.
Do not point other lights at the sensor.

1. Walk through the coverage area noting
where you are when the lights turn on.
Loosen the 3 clamp screws slightly and
turn the sensor head left or right to change
the coverage area.
2. When you have the desired coverage
angle make a pencil mark on the sensor
and post to mark the sensor position.
3. If you need to change the sensitivity, tem
porarily lift the fixture and sensor to make
the adjustment. It may be necessary to
have a friend hold the fixture while adjusting the sensitivity. Too much sensitivity may
increase false triggering.
