Models SL-5610/15
The Heath®/Zenith Motion Sensor Entryway Light turns
on up to 60 watts of incandescent light when motion
is detected and then, after a selectable time period,
automatically turns the light off. The built-in photocell
keeps the light off during daylight hours.

Requirements
• The Entryway Light requires 120-volts AC.
• If you want to use Manual Override, the light must be
wired through a switch.
Some codes require installation by a qualified
•
electrician.
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.

* If you get confused while switching modes, turn the
power off for one minute, then back on. After the calibration time the control will be in the AUTO mode.
INSTALLATION
For best performance, mount the fixture about 7ft (2.1
m) above the ground.
❒ Turn the power to the lighting circuit off at the
fuse or circuit breaker box.
❒ Remove the existing light fixture.
❒ Install the mounting strap
into the junction box. Orientation of the strap may
be different.
❒ Strip about 5/8 in. (15 mm)
insulation off of the existing
junction box wiring.
❒ Connect the white (neutral) junction box wire to the
white Entryway Light wire. Twist the wires together
and secure with a wire connector.
❒ Caulk the back edge of the light and mounting
surface with silicone weather sealant.
❒ Install a 60 Watt maximum light bulb into the lamp
holder. Do not overtighten. Higher wattages will
void warranty.
Holding Screw
for Globe or Jar
❒ Loosen the front holding screw so the globe or jar
cover can be installed. Secure by tightening the
screw. Do not overtighten.
❒ Connect the green or
bare (ground) mounting
strap wire to a grounded
wire or to a grounded
metal box.
❒ Install the mounting stem into the strap so
that it extends out about 3/4 in. (19 mm).
❒ Install the fixture over
the mounting stem.
❒ Connect the black
(hot) junction box
wire to the black En-
tryway Light wire.
❒ Install and tighten the
mounting stem nut.

TEST AND ADJUSTMENT
❒ Turn on the circuit breaker and light switch.
The detector is less sensitive to motion directly towards
it and more sensitive to across motion.
NOTE: Sensor has a 1 1/2 minute calibration period
before it will detect motion. When first turned
on, wait 1 1/2 minutes.
❒ For aiming, turn the SENSITIVITY (SENS) control
to the mid position and the ON-TIME control to the
TEST position.
ON-TIME SENS
TEST 1 5 10 MIN MAX
Bottom of Sensor
In the test position shown above, the light will turn
on for 5 seconds each time motion is detected during both daylight and darkness.
Avoid aiming the control at:
• Objects that change temperature rapidly, such as heating vents or 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.

❒ Rotate the sensor base left
and right to aim the sensor.
Adjust the sensor eye up
and down to obtain desired
coverage range.
❒ 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.
❒
Set the amount of TIME the
lights stay on after motion is detected (1, 5, or 10 minutes).

SYMPTOM
Light comes on
for no apparent
reason.
Light stays on
continuously.

Light flashes
on and off.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. Entryway Light may be sensing small
animals or automobile traffic (re-aim
sensor).
2. Sensitivity is set too high. (Reduce
sensitivity).
1. Entryway Light is pointed toward a
heat source like an air vent, dryer
vent, or brightly-painted heat-reflective
surface. (Reposition sensor).
2. Light control is in Manual Mode. (Switch
to Auto.)
1. Heat being reflected from other objects
may be affecting the sensor. (Reposi-
tion sensor).
2. Entryway Light is in the Test mode and
