1.
Line up the holes on the mounting bracket (B) with
the holes on your junction box. Using either (2) #6
screws or (2) #8 screws (D) (depending on size of
the holes in your junction box), attach the mounting
bracket (B) to your junction box (Fig. 4).
2.
Thread fixture wires through coverplate
gasket (C) (Fig. 5).
3.
Connect fixture black wire to house black wire and
fixture white wire to house white wire using wire
nuts (E) provided.
4.
Connect house ground wire and fixture ground wire
to the mounting bracket (B) using the green ground
screw on the mounting bracket.
5.
Attach fixture (A) to the mounting bracket (B) using
(2) #8 x 1-1/4 in. screws (F) provided. Be sure no
loose wires remain sticking out from underneath
the coverplate. Insert the decorative screw cover
caps (G) into the screw holes on the coverplate for a
finished appearance (Fig. 6).
6.
Apply silicone caulk around the edges of the
coverplate to provide a watertight seal from rain
and moisture.
7.
Turn on power at main fuse/breaker box.
OPERATING YOUR FIXTURE
1.
Rotate knob on bottom of the sensor to
“TEST” (Fig. 7).
2.
Turn on the power to fixture. Allow fixture to warm
up approximately 40 seconds before testing. (Lights
may not come on during warm-up period.)
3.
Aim sensor head toward desired detection area,
maintaining a 5°–15° down angle to allow moisture
to drain.
4.
Walk across the detection zone at the farthest
distance you wish your detector to detect motion.
5.
Adjust sensor head angle until you get desired
results. Lights will turn off 4 seconds after all
motion stops.
NOTE:
For maximum range performance, allow fixture
to operate in any mode (with power to the unit) for at
least 48 hours.
6.
To set the ON time, rotate knob arrow to point to the
desired time setting within the TIME range (up to 12
minutes) (Fig. 8).

Problem
Cause / Solution
Light does not
come ON with
motion at night.
No power to the fixture.
• Check if circuit breaker tripped.
• Confirm wall switch is ON.
Surrounding external ambient light is too bright. (If so, the unit may
think it is daytime.)
• Re-aim the head.
• Relocate or reposition the unit away from the light.
TURN OFF POWER BEFORE CONTINUING
Wiring to the unit is loose.
• Check wiring; reconnect if necessary using wire nuts
(E) provided.
Light
comes ON
for no apparent
reason at night.
There is motion in the detection zone.
• Make sure the sensor is not picking up moving objects such as
trees, traffic, etc.
TEST FOR YOURSELF.
• Cover the sensor lens with cardboard to prevent sensor from
detecting motion. If the light stays off, something in the detection
zone is triggering the sensor.
* If the light stays on with the sensor lens covered, contact
customer service.
• Reposition the sensor.
Light stays ON at
night and does
not turn OFF.
There is motion in the detection zone.
• Make sure the sensor is not picking up moving objects such as
trees, traffic, etc.
• Reposition the sensor.
Unit is in override mode (if there is no motion).
• Turn the light switch to the OFF position for 40 seconds, and
then turn back to the ON position. This will send the unit back
into the “Auto” mode.
Light
continuously
blinks ON and
OFF at night.
The light given from the unit’s own lamp is affecting the
motion sensor.
• Re-aim the lamp.
• Reposition motion sensor.
Light is ON
during the day.
The controls on the bottom of the motion sensor are in “TEST” mode.
• Change dial setting (not “TEST” mode).
The motion detector is shadowed.
• Reposition motion sensor.
Cannot activate
dusk to dawn
mode at night
(override).
Surrounding external ambient light is too bright. (If so, the unit may
think it is daytime.)
• Re-aim the head.
• Relocate or reposition the unit away from the light.
Not enough time is allowed to enter the dusk to dawn mode.
• Turn power OFF and ON twice within 3 seconds.
There is more than one fixture on an indoor wall switch.
• If so, put them on separate switches.
