OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

GETTING STARTED:

After installing the fixture, slide the “TIMER” switch to “TEST”. Restore power at the circuit breaker and turn on your wall 

switch (if applicable). The light will turn on and remain on for approximately 45 seconds. Then the light will flash 3 times 

and turn off. 

 

In the beginning, it is necessary to first switch to TEST mode, which will allow you to easily set the motion sensor sensitiv-

ity. In TEST mode, the motion sensor will turn on the light when it senses movement. Four to five seconds after movement 

has stopped, the light will turn off. 

SETTING SENSITIVITY IN TEST MODE:

(NOTE: Sensitivity directly correlates to the sensor’s detection range). In TEST mode, slide the “SENSITIVITY” switch to 

a desired level: “L” for low, “M” for medium, or “H” for high. From a distance, walk through the coverage area. When the 

light turns on, note your distance from the fixture. Try different approaches toward the fixture from various angles. Try 

pathways where you expect high traffic, such as walkways and driveways.

If necessary, select a different “SENSITIVITY” switch position to increase or decrease sensitivity/range. Repeat the steps 

above. Continue to adjust the sensitivity until optimum results are attained.

SELECTING FUNCTION:

After setting the sensitivity, select the function by sliding to “TIMER” switch to one of the following positions:

SELECTING A LOCATION:

● 

When selecting a location, be aware of the motion sensor’s maximum range of 30 ft. and 220º detection angle (Fig. 1).  

In addition, be aware of its 15º detection down-angle (from horizontal) (Fig. 2). Mounting the fixture too high or in front 

of a sloped surface, such as an uphill walkway or driveway, may affect the motion sensor’s effectiveness.

At dusk, the motion sensor will activate (Motion Sensing Mode).  

Any movement within the coverage area, will cause the light to 

turn on. After movement has stopped, the light will remain on 

for the preset time limit (4 or 10 minutes). At the time limit, the 

light will turn off. The motion sensor will remain active throughout 

the night. At dawn, the motion sensor will deactivate.

NOTE: 

To make sure the above functions operate properly, always keep the wall switch in the “ON” position (including 

the daytime).
To meet ENERGY STAR requirements the timer switch must be set to 4 or 10 to prevent operation during full 

daylight.
