Sensor Modes

AUTOMATIC MODE

Lights will turn on when
there is movement with-
in the detection zone
after dusk.

EVENING TIMER MODE

Keeps lights on for 1-8 hours after dusk.  Sensor then
reverts to Automatic Mode until dawn.  If you set the
Evening Timer Mode during daylight, the sensor will be
prepared to turn on at
dusk and remain on for
the number of hours you
set.  When the sensor is
in “Ready for Evening
Timer Mode”, the middle
LED will blink 3 times,
pause and repeat.  Set the Evening Timer by flipping the
switch that operates the sensor 3 times within 3 seconds
(off-on-off-on-off-on).  

TEST MODE

To enter Test Mode, turn power off for 10 seconds, then
back on.  There is a 30 second warm-up period, then the
Test Mode starts.  During the warm-up, the lights stay on
continiously and LEDs are off.

During the Test Period, the sensor will keep lights on for 
3 seconds each time it detects movement in its detection
zone. The sensor will revert back to Automatic Mode after
2 minutes of Test Mode. However, if you keep “testing”
continuously, the sensor will stay in Test Mode.   To end
Test Mode you must vacate the detection zone for 1
minute or more.  Scanning LEDs will appear when test
mode ends.

If you require 2 more minutes of Test Mode, turn the
power off for at least 10 seconds and back on again.
In Test Mode no LEDs are lit. 

MANUAL OVERRIDE MODE

The STL360 has a “protected” Manual Override that
requires a double-flip of the light switch so momentary
power problems do not interfere with normal sensor 
operation.

By flipping the switch that operates the sensor twice 
(off-on-off-on) within 2 seconds you will override the 
sensor to keep lights on continuously until dawn.

If you set the Manual
Override Mode during
daylight, the sensor will
be prepared to turn on at
dusk and remain on until
dawn.  This is a handy
feature if you leave home for the day and you want the
lights on to greet you when you return.  When the sensor
is in “Ready for Manual Override Mode” the 
middle LED will be on.

TO RESUME AUTOMATIC MODE

Switch OFF the power for at least 10 seconds, then turn it
ON again. Sensor will reset to Automatic Mode after 
completing the warm-up period and Test Mode.

If you set Manual Override while set to 24 hour 
operation, lights will come on and remain on continuosly.

Lights will not turn off at dawn.
