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

Read entire Installation Manual before
proceeding. All wiring MUST comply
with local electrical codes and should be
installed by a qualified electrician.

Total lighting load must not exceed
180 watts quartz and incandescent only.

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’-12’ high for optimum range
and direction.
