INSTALLATION
For easy installation, select an existing light with a wall
switch for replacement.
For best performance, mount the fixture about 8 ft.
(2.4 m) above the ground.
CAUTION: To Avoid Fire Or Burn Hazards:
• Allow fixture to cool before touching. The bulb and
the fixture operate at high temperatures.
• Keep fixture at least 1" (2.5 cm) from combustible
materials. Do not aim at objects closer than 3 ft. (1 m).
• Use only T3, 250W (max.) tungsten halogen 120
VAC lamps.
❒ Note the position of the various parts of the fixture
for the type of installation for your application and
adjust the lamp head and sensor as shown below.

Light Shield,
with opening at
this side
For under eave installation, the sensor head must be
rotated as shown in the next two steps for proper opera-
tion and to avoid the risk of electrical shock. Also for
proper under eave operation, remove the protective
backing from the Light Shield and stick on as shown below.

BULB INSTALLATION.
❒ When relamping, turn power off and let the fixture
cool.
❒ Remove glass cover and remove the old bulb by
pushing the bulb towards the socket indicated on
the metal reflector.
❒ To insert the new bulb, follow the instructions printed
on the metal reflector.
❒ Check that the bulb is seated properly.
❒ Reinstall the glass cover.
WIRE THE LIGHT CONTROL.
❒ Turn the power to the lighting circuit off at the
fuse or circuit breaker box.
❒ Remove the existing light fixture.
❒ Install mounting strap to junction box using screws
appropriate for 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.
❒ Thread all fixture wires through the large holes in
the gasket as shown.
❒ Connect the junction box wires to the light fixture
wires as shown. Twist together and secure with
wire connectors.

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.
ON-TIME
10 5 1 TEST
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 lamp.
❒ 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).
