Light fixture and sensor should be mounted as shown above when installed (depending upon type of installation)

Before installing the light fixture under an eave, 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 mounted only:

Swing the sensor head towards the mounting bracket.

Installation Steps

Turn off the power at fuse or circuit box.

Fig. 1

1. The fixture mounting bracket is pre-assembled on the light fixture. Unscrew
the fixture mounting screw in order to remove the mounting bracket.

2. 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. Mounting bracket should sit flush against wall surface when
secured.(Choose one matching pair of suitable mounting screws from the 3
pairs provided)

3. 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.

4. Place mounting bracket against the outlet box, insert the mounting bracket screw through the mounting bracket hole,
thread mounting bracket screw into the center hole of the mounting strap. Tighten the mounting bracket screw securely.

▲ When mounting to a wall, the “UP” arrow must point upward. (See Fig. 1)
▲ When mounting to an eave, the “UP” arrow must point toward the building.

5. Attach the back plate of the light fixture to the mounting bracket, secure it with the fixture mounting screw.

6. With silicone caulking compound, caulk completely around where the mounting bracket meets the wall surface.
CAUTION: Be sure to caulk completely where the mounting bracket meets the wall surface to prevent water

from seeping into the outlet box.

Turn on the power at the main fuse or circuit breaker 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 control knob facing
towards the ground.

2. You can rotate the sensor head up and down to change the coverage

sensor

area. (See Fig. 2) Walk through the detection zone at the farthest
distance you wish to detect motion.
