TROUBLESHOOTING
Lights do not come on at all:
1. Make sure the breaker for the fuse is in the on position.
2. Make sure the switch in the house is turned on.
3. Check to see there is power to the motion detector on the black and white wires from the
house.
4. Make sure the lamps being used are working. Faulty bulbs, or fiber washer at bottom of
screw-type bulbs will prevent proper contact.
5. Check all wiring and connections.
A: All white wires
B: Black house wire to black motion detector wire.
Lights stay on all night
1. The dusk-to-dawn photocell feature. Make sure daylight is normal (N) position for motion
detection.
2. Check all wiring and connections.
A: All white wires
B: Black house wire to black motion detector wire.
3. Check to make sure each lamp is minimum 40 watts and total does not exceed
total 500 Watts.
Motion Detector triggers on with motion, and stays on:
1. Move floodlights away from motion detector head, or use lower wattage lamps.
2. If mounted on slope, aim slightly upward if slope is upward. If on downward slope, aim
motion detector head severely downward, and slowly raise if necessary.
3. Aim motion detector head lower, away from moving busy areas such as sidewalks and
streets.
Motion Detector comes on randomly:
1. Move floodlights away from motion detector head, or use lower wattage lamps.
2. Aim motion detector head lower.
3. Make sure motion detector head is not aimed at heating/cooling ducts, metal sheds, pools
of water, windows, or smooth walls.
4. Make sure motion detector is mounted on firm surface, as mechanical vibrations can cause
false triggering.
NOTE: Occasionally, in severe frigid temperatures flows of warm air passing the motion
detector may cause light to cycle on and off due to extreme temperature change. This is not
a sign of a problem. This infrequent occurrence will not affect normal operation of unit.
