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.
Remove 2 screws
and lens to access
sensor.
