1. Lights may turn on occasionally during 

rain, snow and windstorms because 
the sensor is detecting changes in 
temperature. If this is a constant 
problem, mount the sensor in a more 
protected area.

2. Tilt the sensor lower - it may be seeing 

distant objects moving.

3. You may not be aware that animals have 

triggered sensor. Check sensor aiming 
to reduce nuisance triggering or mask 
the lower part of the lens with opaque 
weatherproof tape.

4. The sensor may turn on occasionally 

during voltage surges.

5. A possible source of “mysterious” sensor 

activations are strong local radio signals. 
Check for nearby CB, Ham, VHF radio 
transmitters or Cellular telephones. The 
sensor may be activated, but will not be 
permanently impaired by these signals.

6. Check other solutions mentioned under 

on pages 12 &13.
