INSTALLATION
For easy installation, select an existing light with a wall
switch for replacement.
❒ 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.
Wall Mount
Eave Mount
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
❒ Then rotate the sensor head clockwise 180° so
the controls face down.

❒ Align the light control cover plate and cover plate
gasket. Secure with the mounting bolt.
❒ 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.
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.
Wire the Light ControL
WARNING: Turn power off at circuit breaker
or fuse.
❒ 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.
Push Rubber Plug
Firmly into Place.
To avoid water damage
and electrical shock,
keep lamp holders 30°
below horizontal.
Lens
Lock Nut
Holes for Lamp
Cover Tabs
Keep lamps at least
1" (2.5 cm) from the
sensor. Do not allow
the lamps to block the
lens.
❒ Adjust the lamp holders by loosening the lock nuts
but do not rotate the lamp holders more than 180°
from the factory setting. When screwing in the lamps,
do not overtighten.
❒ Install the lamp covers. Align the tabs on the lamp
covers with the holes on the lamp holders. Gently
press lamp covers until the tabs snap into the holes
on the lamp holders.

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.

Motion
❒ 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).
Note: One minute mode is not recommended for
use with compact fluorescent bulbs.
Warning - Risk of fire. Do not aim the lamps at a
combustible surface within 3 ft. (1 m).
