Security Light
Model SL-5309
The Motion Sensor Quartz Security Light turns on 300
watts of quartz-halogen lighting when motion is detected
and then, after a selectable period of time, automatically turns the lighting off. The built-in photocell keeps
the lighting off during daylight hours.

Requirements
• The light control requires 120-volts AC.
• If you want to use Manual Mode, the control must
be wired through a switch – not a dimmer or other
electronic 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.

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.

or fuse.
❒ Remove the existing light fixture.
❒ Strip about 5/8" (16 mm) insulation from the existing
junction box wiring.

BuLB instaLLation and reLaMping
❒ When re-lamping, turn power off and let the fixture
cool.
CAUTION to avoid fire or burn hazards:
• Allow fixture to cool before touching. The bulb and
fixture operate at high temperatures.
• Keep fixture at least 2" (51 mm) from combustible materials. Do not aim at objects closer than 3 feet (1 m).
• Re-lamp with type T 300W (or less) halogen 120
VAC lamp only.
❒ Remove glass cover and remove the old bulb by
pushing the bulb towards the right until the left side
of the bulb is clear of the left socket.
❒ To insert the new bulb, push the bulb into the right
socket so the bulb fits completely into the left
socket.
❒ Check that the bulb is seated properly.
❒ Re-install the glass cover.
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:
Cover Plate Gasket
Junction box ground wire to green
ground wire on fixture.
Mount the Light ControL
For proper operation and safety, the light fixture
must be above the sensor.
❒ Align the light control cover plate and cover plate
gasket and the junction box. Insert and tighten the
mounting screws.
❒ If not installed on a weatherproof box or if an adaptor
plate is used, caulk the wall plate and mounting
surface with silicone weather sealant.
❒ Rotate the sensor head towards the clamp screw
joint.

Clamp Screw
❒ Then rotate the sensor head clockwise 180° so
the controls face down.
Controls
If the sensor pops out of the ball joint, loosen the
clamp screw and push the sensor back into the ball
joint. Tighten the clamp screw when done.
RIGHT WRONG
The halogen light must be
mounted horizontally (+/- 4°).

TEST AND ADJUSTMENT
❒ Turn on the circuit breaker and light switch.
NOTE: Sensor requires about 1 1/2 minutes to calibrate
before it will detect motion. When first turned
on, wait about 1 1/2 minutes.
❒ Turn the SENSITIVITY (SENS) control to the mid
position and the ON-TIME control to the TEST
position.

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

❒ Loosen the clamp screw in
the sensor ball joint and gently
rotate the sensor to aim.
❒ 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.
❒ Set SENSITIVITY as needed.
Too much sensitivity may increase false triggering.
❒ Secure the sensor head
into position by tightening
the clamp screw. Do not
overtighten the screw.
❒ Set the amount of TIME the
lights stay on after motion is
detected. It is selectable from
1, 5, or 10 minutes.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
SYMPTOM
Light will not come
on.
Light comes on in
daylight.
Light comes on for
no apparent reason.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. Light switch is turned off.
2. Halogen lamp is loose or burned
out.
3. Fuse is blown or circuit breaker
is turned off.
4. Daylight turn-off is in effect.
(Recheck after dark.)
5. Incorrect circuit wiring, if this is
a new installation.
6. Not aimed correctly. (Re-aim the
sensor to cover desired area.)
1. Light control may be installed in
a relatively dark location.
2. Light control is in TEST. (Select 1,
5 or 10 minutes for AUTO time.)
1. Light control’s sensor may be
detecting small animals, swaying trees, or automobile traffic.
(Re-aim sensor.)
2. Sensitivity is set too high. (Reduce sensitivity.)
SYMPTOM
Light stays on
continuously.
Light flashes on
and off.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. The halogen lamp is positioned too
close to the light control’s sensor
or pointed at nearby objects that
cause heat to trigger the sensor.
(Reposition the lamp away from
the sensor or nearby objects.)
2. Light control’s sensor is pointed
toward a heat source like an air
vent, dryer vent, or brightly-painted
heat-reflective surface. (Reposition
sensor.)
3. LIght control is in Manual Mode.
(Switch to Auto.)
1. Heat or light from the halogen lamp
may be turning the light control on
and off. (Reposition the lamp away
from the sensor.)
2. Heat being reflected from other
objects may be affecting the light
control. (Re-aim sensor).
3. Light control is in the TEST mode
and warming up. (Flashing is normal
under these conditions.)
