Caution

• 

All wiring MUST comply with local 
electrical codes and should be installed 
by qualified electrician.

• 

Read entire Installation Manual before 
proceeding.

TURN OFF POWER BY REMOVING 
POWER FUSE OR TURNING OFF CIRCUIT 
BREAKER BEFORE INSTALLATION.

• Total lighting load must not exceed: 

5 Amps, 500 Watts incandescent quartz 
when sensor is used remotely (250 Watts 
when floodlights are mounted to sensor) 
or 100 Watt fluorescent at 120 Volts or 5 
Amps, 450 Watts LED at 120 Volts with 
0.8pF driver or 5 Amp, 300 Watts LED 
at 120 Volts with 0.5pF driver. To switch 
more wattage, an electrician can install 
an additional 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 on circuits feeding motor 

loads such as kitchen appliances, HVAC 
equipment, washer/ dryer or garage door 
openers.

• Sensor functions best when movement is 

across its detection pattern, not towards 
the sensor. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

• Mount 6’-10’ high for optimum range and 

direction.

Assembly and Wiring

1. 

Screw the threaded arm of the sensor 
into the center hold of the mounting 
plate. Sensors can be wall or ceiling 
mounted.

2. 

If mounting on the same cover plate 
as floodlight(s), screw the threaded 
arm(s) of each floodlight into the 
mounting plate. Leave the locknuts 
and arm screws loose untill ready to 
aim. Always mount the sensor below 
lights.

3. 

Bring power leads and sensor leads 
into box.

4. 

Attach ground wire(s) to outlet box 
grounding screw.

5. 

Strip 1/2” of insulation from all leads. 
Connect as shown in Wiring Diagram.

6. 

Twist on wire nuts. Secure with 
electrical tape.

7. 

Align gasket to ensure proper seal. 
Fasten mounting plate with sensor 
with two screws provided. Use 
silicone sealant around all openings, if 
necessary.

8. 

Screw in light bulbs. Turn on power.

9. 

Conduct Walk Test to adjust sensor 
response.
