Gotcha! Assembly and Wiring
Cautions
• To install a GT500 Sensor with separately purchased floodlights,
start at #1.
• For GT500R Pre-wired Floodlight Kit, see page 5.
1. Twist the threaded arms of
each floodlight into the RAB CU4
EZ plate.
2. Screw the threaded arm of the
sensor into the bottom hole of the
EZ plate. Sensor should be below
and as far away from the flood-
lights as possible.
3. Attach the Universal Mounting
bar with the bar screws (provided)
to the junction box. If you are
attaching your GT500 kit to a
surface mount weatherproof box,
you must use both gaskets, with
the metal mounting plate
sandwiched between.
4.
• Easy wiring Tip:
Use the “S” shaped Hands Free
Hanging Hook to hold the EZ
plate during wiring.
5. Bring power leads, light fixture
and sensor leads through holes
in all gaskets and mounting
plates into junction box.6. Attach
ground wire(s) to junction box
grounding screw.
7. Position EZ plate gaskets and
metal plate. (see pg #5)
8. Strip 1/2” of insulation from all
leads. Connect as shown in wiring
diagram.
9. Twist on wire nuts.
Secure with electrical tape.
10. Make sure all unused open-
ings in EZ plate are closed with
plugs (provided).
11. Screw in light bulbs. Turn on
power.
12. Conduct walk test to adjust
sensor response.

• Read entire Installation Manual
before proceeding.
• All wiring should comply with local
electrical codes and requires a
qualified electrician.
• The total lighting load connected to
Gotcha must not exceed 8 amps
(500 watts incandescent or quartz,
250 watts fluorescent).To switch
more wattage an electrician can
install a relay.
• Line Carrier Remote Control
Systems such as X-10, Leviton or
Radio Shack are incompatible with
sensors and cause false activations.
• Do not install sensors on a circuit
that feeds motor loads like kitchen
appliances, HVAC equipment,
washer/ dryer or garage door openers.
• Sensors must be below and as far as
possible away from lights.
• Sensor functions best when the
direction of the expected movement
is across its detection pattern, not
towards the sensor.
• Mount 6-12 feet high for optimum
range and detection.
