3. Check if sensor is “seeing” heaters
or air conditioning vents. Mask sensor
lens if necessary.
4. Make sure unit is at room tempera-
ture. If it was installed immediately
after being in an extremely hot or
cold environment, wait an hour for it
to adjust.
5. Make sure the sensor has timed
out of the auto feature of 15 minutes.
Field of View Adjustment
If the sensor is “seeing” out through
a doorway onto the hallway or “seeing”
undesired areas, simply cover part
of the sensor lens with opaque white
tape or paper label. Clear tape may
be used, but it limits detection only
partially. Test that the portion of
the lens covered limits detection as
desired and does not reduce detection
in other areas.
Sensor has view of

Removing the Adjustment
Access Cover:
This cover is tamperproof and cannot
be removed if the switch cover Plate
is attached. The cover has two “ears”
that hook under the cover plate and
prevent tampering. To remove the
cover insert a screwdriver into the
latch and pull forward.
Time Delay Adjustment
The time delay adjustment can be set
so the lights turn off from 8 seconds
minimum to 15 minutes maximum after
the room is vacated (approximate).
Walk test
After 40 seconds warm up (Red light
blinking), set time to minimum and
push manual on.
To test the detection pattern of the
LOS800CA, make no motion for 8
seconds. Move sideways up to 12”.

5. Troubleshooting
Lights Do Not Turn On
1. Check that:
the lamps and fixtures work;
wiring exactly matches the wiring
diagram.
wiring polarity is correct;
power is on;
sensor has warmed up for 40 secs.
2. Make sure sensor’s view of the
room is not blocked.
Lights Do Not Turn Off
1. Check that the Time delay control
is set to minimum.
2. Stay completely out of the
protection pattern to avoid activation.
3. Make sure sensor is not seeing
movement in an adjacent area
through a doorway or other opening.
4. Make sure unit is not aimed at
something that would move or cause
a temperature change such as hot
water pipes, air conditioners or
heating vents.
5. Check that the wattage controlled
does not exceed the maximum limits.
Lights Go On and Off Quickly
1. Check that wattage controlled
does not exceed the maximum limits.
2. Certain energy saving fluorescent
lamps strobe when turned on within
a minute of being turned off.
Lights Go On for “No Reason”
1. Look for sources of electrical noise
such as fans or air conditioners on the
same circuit or nearby. If possible
unplug or move the noise sources.
2. Check if sensor is “seeing” into
adjacent rooms or hallways. Mask
sensor lens in that direction with
opaque tape.
