INSTALLATION

For easy installation, select an existing light with a wall
switch for replacement.

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 2" (51 mm) from combustible
materials. Do not aim at objects closer than 3' (1 m).

• Use only T4 100W (max.), G8 tungsten halogen bi­pin 120 VAC lamps.

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.

Controls

❒ 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 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.

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.

BULB INSTALLATION.

NOTE: When re-lamping, turn power off and let the

fixture cool.
❒ To remove lamp shade, loosen set screw 2 full turns

with a small flat-head screwdriver. Turn shade
counterclockwise and remove.

❒ To remove bulb, pull straight out of fixture.
❒ To replace bulb, push bulb pins into lamp socket.

Check that the bulb is seated properly.

❒ To reinstall lamp shade, place shade on fixture and

align notches on shade with tabs on fixture. Turn
clockwise. Tighten set screw firmly.

WIRE THE LIGHT CONTROL.

❒ Turn power off at the fuse or circuit breaker.
❒ Remove the existing light fixture.
❒ Install mounting strap to junction box using screws

appropriate for your junction box.

MOUNT THE LIGHT CONTROL.

❒ Place the Mounting Bolt through the front of the

junction box cover. Push the small gasket hole over
the Mounting Screw.

❒ Make sure the wire connectors and wires are inside

the junction box. Align the Mounting Screw with the
center hole in the Mounting Strap. Secure the
fixture to the Mounting Strap.

❒ 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.

Lamp Shade

Set Screw

Lock Nuts

Keep lamps at least 2" (51 mm) from the

sensor and 2" (51 mm) from combustibles.

❒ Adjust the lamp holders by loosening the lock nuts,

but do not rotate the lamp holders more than 180°
from the factory setting.

❒ Adjust lamp shades by loosening the set screws

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 RANGE control to the mid position, Dual

Brite™ to OFF and the ON-TIME control to the
TEST position.

MAX

MIN

• 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.

SYMPTOM
Lights stay

on continu­ously.

Lights flash
on and off.

Lights flash
once, then
stay off in
Manual Mode.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

1. A lamp is positioned too close to the
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 is pointed toward a heat
source like an air vent, dryer vent, or
brightly-painted heat-reflective surface.

.

(Reposition sensor. Reduce Range)

3. Light Control is in Manual Mode.

(Switch to Auto)

1. Heat or light from the lamps may be
turning the Light Control on and off.

.

(Reposition the lamps away from the
sensor)

2. Heat being reflected from other ob­jects may be affecting the sensor.

(Reposition sensor)

3. Light Control is in the Test mode and
warming up.

.

(Flashing is normal un-

der these conditions. Turn Boost off)

1. Sensor is detecting its own lights.

(Reposition lamps to keep area be­low the sensor relatively dark).
