Typical Installation
The lamp module is not weather tight. It should only be
used inside of a light fixture.
Existing Light

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 ONTIME switch in the 1, 5, or 10 position.

INSTALLATION
.
❒ Before proceeding with the installation, TURN OFF
THE POWER TO THE LIGHTING CIRCUIT AT THE
CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE BOX to avoid electrical
shock.
There are two types of decorative fixtures that the Instant Light
Control should be used with as shown here.
‘A’ shows a fixture with the wire going under the top cover. ‘B’
shows a fixture with a open bottom and the wire going through
the bottom.

Seal With Weather-
‘A’
Drip Loop
NOTE: The Drip Loop is neccessary to prevent rain from
running down the cord to the Sensor Module.
‘B’
‘B’
Proof Sealant
❒ Plug the sensor cord into the switch module. The sensor
cord's plug is polarized for proper installation.
IMPORTANT: When installing the sensor, make sure the wire
comes out the bottom of the bracket and the wire has a drip
loop (as shown below) to help prevent water from entering the
sensor head.
❒ Open the top of the light
fixture if it is necessary.
Remove the light bulb.
Screw in the lamp module
and replace the bulb.
Drip Loop
Mounting Sensor
❒ Mount the sensor approximately five feet above the ground.
Place the sensor below or beside the lighting fixture
so that the light from the decorative fixture will not hit
the sensor. Secure the sensor to the wall with the screws
provided. It may be necessary to tilt the sensor head up
slightly when mounting.
NOTE: Mounting the sensor above the light fixtures may
increase false triggering.

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 or when
switching modes wait 1 1/2 minutes.
❒ Turn the SENSITIVITY (SENS) control to the mid position
and the ON-TIME control to the TEST position.
ON-TIME
SENS
❒ 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.
❒ Adjust the SENSITIVITY as
needed. Too much sensitivity
may increase false triggering.
❒ Set the amount of TIME you want
the lights to stay on after motion
is detected (1, 5, or 10 minutes).

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 day may trigger the shut-off feature. Do not point other lights at the sensor.
