Troubleshooting (continued)
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
The lights stay on continuously.
Ƒ
A bulb is positioned too close to the
motion sensor or pointed at nearby
objects that cause heat to trigger the
light sensor.
Ƒ
Reposition the bulb away
from the motion sensor or
nearby objects.
Ƒ
The motion sensor may be picking up
a heat source like an air vent, dryer
vent, or brightly painted, heat-reflective
surface.
Ƒ
Decrease the “RANGE”
setting or reposition the
motion sensor.
Ƒ
The motion sensor is in manual mode.
Ƒ
Switch the motion sensor
to auto. See
Using Manual
Mode
on page 9.
Ƒ
The light fixture is wired through a
dimmer or timer.
Ƒ
Do not use a dimmer or
timer to control the light
fixture. Replace the dimmer
or timer with a standard on/
off wall switch.
Ƒ
The light fixture is on the same circuit
as a motor, transformer, or fluorescent
bulb.
Ƒ
Install the light fixture on
a circuit without motors,
transformers, or fluorescent
bulbs.
The lights flash on and off.
Ƒ
Heat or light from the bulbs may be
turning the motion sensor on and off.
Ƒ
Reposition the bulbs away
from the motion sensor.
Ƒ
Heat is being reflected from other
objects and may be turning the motion
sensor on and off.
Ƒ
Reposition the motion
sensor.
Ƒ
The motion sensor is in “TEST” mode
and warming up.
Ƒ
Flashing is normal under
these conditions.
Ƒ
The motion sensor is in AlertFlash
(“FLASH”) mode.
Ƒ
Flashing is normal in this
mode. Select Security
(“NORMAL”) or BulbSaver
(“SOFT”) mode to turn
flashing off.
The lights flash once then stay
off in manual mode.
The motion sensor is detecting light from
the bulbs.
Reposition the bulbs to keep the
area below the motion sensor
relatively dark.
