Installation
Caution: Before starting the installation, turn the power off at the
CirCuit Breaker.
If you want to use the Manual Override feature you will need to install the fixture on a circuit controlled
by a switch. The lamps are packed in boxes, inside the lampheads. Open the lampheads by removing
the screws at the top. Use a clean cloth or the foam packing around the lamps to keep your fingers off
the lamps. Install the lamps in the right side of the sockets first, then the left. Close the lampheads and
continue the installation as shown below.
Wall Mount Eave Mount
❒ Loosen the thumbscrews holding the sensor
head and lampheads.
❒ Adjust the various parts so that the fixture
looks similar to this illustration.
❒ Finger tighten the thumbscrews at this time.
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 3" (76 mm) from combustible materials.
Do not aim at objects closer than 3' (1 m).
• Use only type T 250W (max.) tungsten halogen 120 VAC
lamps.

Mount Fixture with Crossbar
Mounting Bracket
❒
Turn power off at the fuse or circuit breaker.
❒ Remove the existing light fixture (if appli-
cable).
❒ Install the mounting bracket as shown using
two screws supplied in hardware pack that fit
your junction box:
Rectangular Junction Box - Use two #6-32
x 3/4" screws.
Circular or Octagonal Junction Box - Use
two #8-32 x 3/8" screws.
Watertight Junction Box - Use two #10-24
x 1/2" screws.
❒ The plastic hanger can be used to hold the fix-
ture 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
bracket.
❒ Route the Light Control’s wires through the
large gasket holes.
Standard Wiring
CAUTION: If you have not already turned the
power off at the breaker or fuse, do so now.
Connect the junction box wires to the fixture wires.
Twist together and secure with wire connectors.
CAUTION: If you are not controlling additional
fixtures from your security light fixture, DO NOT
connect the RED wire or remove wire connector.

Controlling Non-Motion Sensing Fixtures
❒ When wiring to additional standard fixture
only: Strip the motion sensor's red wire and
connect to the standard fixture's
Connect all white wires together. Total fixture
ratings must not exceed 1000 Watts (8.3 A).
NOTE: All wiring between fixtures should be run
in accordance with the National Electrical
Code (Canadian Electrical Code in Canada)
through conduit or another acceptable means.
Contact a qualified electrician if there is any
question as to the suitability of the system.

❒ This fixture is provided with a sensor rated
for 1000 Watts. Since the fixture is only rated
500 Watts, 500 Watts of additional load may
be controlled by this sensor.
❒ When determining what a fixture is rated for,
do not simply look at the rating on the lamp in
the fixture. Look at the marking which speci
fies the maximum lamp wattage for which the
fixture is suitable.
❒
Once you have selected the fixtures to be connected and determined their maximum ratings,
add these ratings up. For instance, if you have 3
fixtures rated 100 Watts, 150 Watts, and 75 Watts
respectively, you have a total load of 325 Watts.

Finish Mounting
❒ Align the cover plate, gasket, and the mounting
bracket hole. Secure with M5 x 0.8 x 40 mm
mounting screw supplied.
❒ Push the rubber plug firmly into place.
❒ If not installed on a weatherproof box, caulk
between the cover plate and mounting surface with silicone weather sealant.
To obtain maximum lamp
life, keep the tubular
lamps horizontal.

Adjustments Continued . . .
❒ Loosen the two thumb screws. Estimate the direction to aim the sensor
and tighten the thumbscrews just enough to hold the sensor in place.
NOTE: The top screw allows the sensor to rotate side to side. The bot
tom screw allows the sensor to rotate up and down.
❒ 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).
Loosen the thumbscrews and readjust the sensor as necessary. Tighten
the thumbscrews (finger tight) when you are satisfied with the coverage
direction.
keep the controls facing downward.
❒ Adjust RANGE as needed to increase or decrease the range. Too much
sensitivity may cause false triggering in some environments.
❒ For maximum range, the sensor must be aiming straight out.
❒ Set the amount of TIME (1, 5, or 20 minutes) you want the lights to stay
on after motion is detected at night.
❒ Release the tab on metal door to allow door to close.
Keep the sensor at least 1 inch (25 mm) from lamps and

If the wide angle (270°) coverage is too wide for
your application, you may need to use one or both
shields to reduce the coverage angle.
❒
Decide which side of the lens you want to cover.
❒ Pull the lens shield out to block a portion of
the lens. Each lens shield will reduce the cov
erage area by approximately 35° when fully
extended.
