Adjusting the Settings

TIME

Sets the time that lights will remain on after the detection
zone is vacated. Adjustable from approximately 5 seconds to
12 minutes. The Factory Setting is 12 minutes.

PHOTOCELL 

For night-only operation, turn the knob completely 
counterclockwise to (to the MOON symbol). For 24-hour
operation turn the knob all the way clockwise to the
MOON/SUN symbol. Adjust counterclockwise to have the
sensor come on later at dusk, clockwise to have it come
on earlier.  The Factory Setting is Night-only (MOON).
If you set Evening Timer while set to 24 hour operation,
Evening Timer will begin immediately after flipping switch.

SENSITIVITY

Increases or decreases the responsiveness and range of
the sensor (adjustable from 30% to 100%).  The Factory
Setting is 100%.

EVENING TIMER

The STL360 provides an alternative to normal motion-
activated lighting. The EVENING TIMER can keep lights on
continuously – without motion – for 1 to 8 hours after dusk.
This is great for evening activities requiring continuous light.
During vacations the E

VENING

T

IMER

provides a “lived-in”

look  by simulating an occupant turning lights on at dusk,
and then off at bedtime.  

To set the EVENING TIMER, flip the wall switch controlling
the sensor three times slowly (off-on-off-on-off-on) within 3
seconds. If you set the EVENING TIMER during daytime,
the middle LED should start blinking, indicating that the
Evening Timer will start when dusk is detected.

Choose the length of time you want continuous lighting.
For example, if you set the EVENING TIMER to “8,” the
sensor will keep lights ON continuously for 8 hours after
dusk.  Once 8 hours have passed, the sensor will revert to
motion activated mode. At dawn, the photocell will detect
light and prevent lights from turning on 
during the daytime.

If you do not want to use the EVENING 
TIMER, do NOT flip the switch 3 times, 
as described above.

To end use of the EVENING TIMER, switch
OFF the power for at least 10 seconds, then
ON again. Sensor will be in Automatic Mode.
(After completing the warm-up period)

You can affix this label (right), provided, 
to your indoor light switch plate for easy 
reference.
