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

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:
❒ Swing the sensor head towards the clamp screw
joint.

❒ Align the three slots in the decorative shell with the
lamp holder pins. Push the shell in and then twist
clockwise to lock. Repeat for other shell.

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.
WIRE THE LIGHT CONTROL.
❒ Turn power off at the fuse or circuit breaker.
❒ Remove the existing light fixture.
❒ Install the mounting strap as shown using two
screws that fit your junction box.
❒ The plastic hanger can be used to hold the fixture
while wiring. The small end of the plastic hanger
can be threaded through the hole in the center of the
cover plate. The small end then goes into one of the
slots on the mounting strap.
❒ Route the Light Control’s wires through the large
gasket holes.
❒ Twist the junction box wires and fixture wires together
as shown. Secure with wire connectors.
❒ Push the Rubber Plug firmly into place.
❒ If a wet location junction box was not used, caulk the
wall plate mounting surface with silicone weather
sealant.
To avoid water damage and electrical shock,
keep lamp holders 30° below horizontal.
Keep lamps at least
1" (2.5 cm) from the
sensor. Do not al-

TEST AND ADJUSTMENT
❒ Turn on the circuit breaker and light switch.
NOTE: Sensor has about 1 1/2 minutes warm up
period before it will detect motion. When first
turned on, wait about 1 1/2 minutes.
❒ Turn the RANGE 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 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.

❒ 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 (also,
the LED will flash several times
when motion is detected).
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 RANGE as
needed. RANGE set too high
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).
