Installation Steps

Turn off the power at fuse or circuit box.

1. Install the mounting strap to the outlet box with the stamped word “FRONT” facing away from the outlet box, using
two mounting screws that best fit the outlet box. Back plate should sit flush against wall surface when secured.
(Choose one matching pair of suitable mounting screws from the 3 pairs provided)

2. Pull out the source wires from the outlet box. Make wire connections using wire nuts as follows:

---Connect the black wire from the fixture to the “hot” wire from the power source. (usually black)

---Connect the white wire from the fixture to the neutral wire from the power source. (usually white)

---Connect the grounding wire from the fixture to the grounding wire from the power source. (usually green / yellow
insulation)
Carefully tuck the wires back into the outlet box.

3. Attach the back plate of the light to the mounting strap, secure it with the fixture mounting screw.

4. Push the decorative cover firmly into the fixture mounting screw hole on the light.

5. With silicone caulking compound, caulk completely around where the back plate meets the wall surface.

CAUTION: Be sure to caulk completely where the back plate meets the wall surface to prevent water from
seeping into the outlet box.

Turn on the power at fuse or circuit box.

Adjusting the Sensor Head:

1. Aim sensor head toward desired detection area, maintaining a 5° - 40°
downward angle to allow moisture to drain.
Note: Make sure sensor head is positioned with controls facing toward
the ground.

2. You can move the sensor head up and down to change the coverage area.
(See Fig. 1)
Note: Range set too high may increase false triggering.
