Light comes on half bright for selected time after dusk
(Off, 3 hr., 6 hr., until dawn). Selecting OFF disables
this feature. The motion sensing features will continue
to work as described in this manual. If motion is sensed,
the light turns on full bright for the ON-TIME (1, 5, or
20 minutes) then returns to dim mode.

INSTALLATION

Estimated Installation Time: 30 minutes
Items needed for installation (not included):

• Phillips and flathead screwdrivers

• Pliers • Wire strippers/cutters

• Safety glasses • Light bulbs

• Silicone caulk • Ladder

• Black tape

WARNING: Turn power off at circuit breaker

or fuse.

Wall 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.

Clamp Screw

❒ Then rotate the sensor head clockwise 180° so

the controls face down.

WIRING

❒ 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.

Mount the Light Control

❒ Align the light control cover plate and cover plate

gasket. Secure with the mounting bolt.

❒ Align the three slots in the decorative shell with the

bulb holder pins. Push the shell in and then twist
clockwise to lock. Repeat for other shell.

❒ Push the rubber plug firmly into place.

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, wait 1 1/2 minutes.

Note: Meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines when

DualBrite® function is off and ON-TIME is 1 or 5 minutes

and when used with 120 W Max bulbs.

❒ Turn the RANGE control to the medium position

(halfway between MIN and MAX), DualBrite® to OFF,
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.

NOTE:

If fixture is mounted higher than 8 ft. (2.4 m), aiming
the sensor down will reduce coverage distance.
The detector is less sensitive to motion directly towards it.

off in Manual
Mode.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

1. A flood bulb is positioned too close to
the sensor or pointed at nearby objects
that cause heat to trigger the sensor.

(Reposition the bulb 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 bulbs may be
turning the light control on and off.

(Reposition the bulbs away from the
sensor).

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

3. Light control is in the Test mode and
warming up. (Flashing is normal under

these conditions. Turn Boost off.)

4. Light may be leaking through the flood
lamp reflectors. (Replace the bulbs

with new high quality PAR 38 bulbs or
make sure the metal bulb protectors
are installed).

1. Sensor is detecting its own lights.

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