TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
SYMPTOM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
The light will not come on. 1. Light switch is turned off.
2. Fuse is blown or circuit breaker is turned off.
3. Daylight turn-off (photocell) is in effect.
4. The circuit wiring is incorrect, if this is a new
installation.
5. The motion sensor is aimed in the wrong
direction.
6. The outside air temperature is close to the
same as a person’s body heat.
1. Turn light switch on.
2. Replace fuse or turn circuit breaker on.
3. Recheck after dark.
4. Verify wiring is correct.
5. Re-aim the motion sensor to cover the
desired area.
6. See
Seasonal Changes
on page 4 for more
information.
The light comes on during
the day.
1. The motion sensor may be installed in a
relatively dark location.
2. The control dial is in the “TEST” position.
1. The light fixture is operating normally under
these circumstances.
2. Turn the control dial between 5 seconds and
5 minutes.
The light comes on for no
apparent reason.
1. The motion sensor may be sensing small
animals or automobile traffic.
2. The outside temperature is much warmer or
cooler than a person’s body heat (summer or
winter).
3. The light fixture is wired through a dimmer
or timer.
1. Reposition the motion sensor.
2. See
Seasonal Changes
on page 4 for more
information.
3. Do not use a dimmer or timer to control the
light fixture. Replace the dimmer or timer
with a standard on/off wall switch.
The lights stay on
continuously.
1. The motion sensor may be picking up a heat
source like an air vent, dryer vent, or brightly
painted, heat-reflective surface.
2. The motion sensor is in manual mode.
3. The light fixture is wired through a dimmer
or timer.
4. The light fixture is on the same circuit as a
motor, transformer, or fluorescent bulb.
1. Reposition the motion sensor.
2. Turn the control dial between 5 seconds and
5 minutes. Follow
Manual Mode
instructions
on page 4 to reset.
3. Do not use a dimmer or timer to control the
light fixture. Replace the dimmer or timer
with a standard on/off wall switch.
4. Install the light fixture on a circuit without
motors, transformers, or fluorescent bulbs.
The lights flash on and off.
1. Heat or light from the lamp heads may be
turning the motion sensor on and off.
2. Heat is being reflected from other objects
and may be turning the motion sensor on
and off.
3. The motion sensor is in “TEST” mode and
warming up.
1. Reposition the lamp heads away from the
motion sensor.
2. Reposition the motion sensor.
3. While in TEST mode, the light only stays on
for 8 seconds. Turn the control dial between 5
seconds and 5 minutes.
The lights flash once then
stay off in manual mode.
The motion sensor is detecting light from the
lamp heads.
Reposition the lamp heads to keep the area below
the motion sensor relatively dark.
