• Automatically turns light off.

• Photocell keeps the light off during daylight
hours.

This package includes:

• Porch Light

• Easy to use Universal Mounting Bracket

• Mounting Hardware

• Wire Nuts

WIRING LIGHT FIXTURE

1. Connect the junction box wires and the fixture
wires together as shown in the following dia­grams.

CAUTION: DO NOT remove wire connec­tor from RED wire or connect the RED wire
unless you want to control other lights from
this motion sensor fixture.

2. Twist and secure wires with wire nuts.

Note: If you have a metal junction box use the recom­mended grounding method shown in the following
illustration. If you are uncertain about the grounding
method, consult your local building code.

Other Wiring Options

This fixture can be wired to control another standard
or motion sensing light fixture(s). See the following
wiring diagrams for proper connections.

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.

When controlling an additional light fixture(s), the
maximum wattage of the motion sensor on this
fixture should be observed. See illustration below
for an example of a maximum lamp wattage load
calculation.

Wiring Motion Sensing Light to Control Another

Motion Sensing Light

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

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

INSTALL FIXTURE BASE TO

JUNCTION BOX

1. Push wires into the junction box.

2. Slide light fixture base onto fixture screws and
tighten decorative nuts snugly against the base.

3. Install four candelabra base light bulbs (25
Watts maximum each).

4. Refer to TESTING section before installing
cover.

5. After switches are set and testing is complete,
use the 2 decorative nuts to install the cover.

Junction Box

1. Turn on the circuit breaker and light switch.

TESTING

Note: Sensor has a 1 1/2 minute warm up period
before it will detect motion. When first turned on

wait 1

/2 minutes.

2. Set the SENSITIVITY switch to the “M” position
and the ON-TIME switch to the TEST posi
tion.

Sensor
Lens

3. Walk through the coverage area noting where
you are when the lights turn on. In TEST mode,
light will stay on for only 5 seconds 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 TIME you want the light to
stay on after motion is detected (1, 5, or 10
minutes).

Adjustment of Coverage Area

The sensor on this light fixture detects “motion”
by the movement of heat (body heat) across the
coverage area. However, following are examples
of objects that also produce heat and can cause
the sensor to false trigger:

• Pools of Water • Air Conditioners

• Dryer Vents • Fenced-In Animals

• Heating Vents • Automobile Traffic
If you suspect that a heat source of this type is falsely

triggering the sensor and reducing the sensitivity
does not solve the problem, then a lens shield
(included) can be installed. The plastic lens shield
is divided into 6 sections. Each section will reduce the
coverage angle by 30 degrees. Also, the tip of each
section may be removed to change the effective
range of the sensor.

1. Break off the amount of lens shield needed to
block the desired area of coverage.

2. Cut desired amount of foam tape needed to
adhere the lens shield to the sensor lens.

3. Remove paper backing from one side of cut
foam tape and adhere foam tape to inside of
lens shield.

4. Remove paper backing from other side of cut foam
tape and adhere lens shield to sensor lens.

5. Retest to confirm that the sensor is no longer
false triggering.

Note: To help determine amount of lens shield
required, apply small sections one at a time. Ad­ditional sections can be applied if necessary.

SYMPTOM
Light stays on

continuously.

Light flashes on
and off.

Light does not
stay on in Man­ual mode.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

1. There is a heat source like an
air vent, dryer vent, or brightly­painted, heat-reflective surface in
the coverage area. (Install shield

on sensor in the direction of heat
source.)

2. Sensor is in Manual Mode. (Switch
to Auto.)

3. Sensitivity is set too high. (Reduce
sensitivity.)

1. Heat being reflected from other
objects may be affecting the sen
sor. (Reduce sensitivity.)

2. Sensor is in the Test mode. (While

in TEST mode, light only stays on
for 5 seconds.)

1. Nearby large, light-colored objects
reflecting light may trigger the
shut-off feature. Do not point other
lights at the sensor.
