prevent false triggering. Also be very careful not to
include objects such as windows, white walls and
water in the detection zone.
• Locate sensor away from moving objects such as
trees, large shrubs and street traffic.
MOUNTING AND WIRING YOUR FIXTURE
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Disconnect
power at fuse or circuit breaker before installing
or servicing.
NOTE:
Coverplate mounts to recessed mounted
standard junction boxes (Fig. 2). Junction box must be
at least 1-1/2 inch in depth for proper installation for
recessed mount application.
1.
This coverplate has been designed to work with a
variety of different junction boxes (not included).
Line up the holes in the coverplate with the screw
bosses in your junction box.
NOTE:
If holes in the coverplate do not match the
screw holes on your junction box, drill holes in the
coverplate using an 3/16 inch drill bit to match the
screw holes on the junction box.
2.
Connect the black wire from the fixture to the
black house supply wire and the white wire
from the fixture to the white supply wire using
wire nuts (C) (Fig. 3).
3.
Attach the ground wire coming from your house
to the copper ground wire from the fixture (A) using
wire nut (C) (Fig. 3). If no house ground wire is
available, attach the copper ground wire from the
fixture to the junction box if it is metal and
grounded. If junction box is not metal and no house
ground wire is available, an alternative ground
source must be used for safe operation.
4.
Attach fixture to the junction box with two of the
screws (D) provided. Either (2) #6 or (2) #8 screws
will work with most standard junction boxes. Make
sure that all screws are tightly secured.
5.
To prevent moisture from entering the junction box, apply a bead of silicone sealant
around the edge of the coverplate where it attaches to the junction box and any open
holes.
6.
Install protective reflectors (E) onto lampholders by lining up the nipples on the covers,
over the lampholder slots. Lock into place by twisting covers counterclockwise (Fig. 4).
7.
Insert lampholder gaskets (B) into lampholder assembly, tightly against lampholder, and
screw bulbs into each lampholder (Fig. 5). (Do not overtighten bulbs.)
8.
Turn on power at main fuse/breaker box.
OPERATING YOUR FIXTURE
1.
Set dial to “TEST” (Fig. 6).
2.
Turn on the power to fixture. Allow fixture to warm
up approximately 40 seconds before testing.
3.
Aim sensor head toward desired detection area,
maintaining a 5° down angle to allow
moisture to drain.
NOTE:
Maintain at least 1 inch of air space between
lamps and sensor head. Make sure sensor
head is positioned with control switches facing to
wards the ground.
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.
NOTE:
For maximum range performance, allow fixture to operate in any mode (with power to
the unit) for at least 48 hours.
6.
Set dial to desired time setting. The higher the time setting, the longer the lamps will be
ON. (Maximum time is 12 minutes.)

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.
Bulb is faulty.
• Replace bulb.
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 Dusk to Dawn setting (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

(override)
Surrounding external ambient light is too bright. (If so, the unit may

• 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.
