Why RAB Sensors are Best for You

Smaller is better! 

SmartLantern uses state-of-the-art surface mount 

technology (SMT), just like cellular phones and beepers. SMT gives you
more reliability, greater RF immunity, and a compact sensor that can fit
neatly where others cannot.

Wider is better! 

The wide 180º view detects movement with only 

one compact sensor.

Molded is better! 

No leaky gaskets or bug hotels with SmartLantern.

The hard lens is molded as part of the case. It’s vandalproof, rainproof, 
bugproof and absolutely sealed.

Cautions

• All wiring MUST comply with local
electrical codes and should be
installed by a qualified electrician.

• Read entire Installation Manual
before proceeding.

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

• Total lighting load must not exceed:

Relay On/Off Model:

5 amps,

500 watts incandescent quartz or
250 watts fluorescent at 120 volts.
To switch more wattage, an electri-
cian can install an additional relay.

Hi/Lo Model: 

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 appli-
ances, HVAC equipment, washer/
dryer or garage door openers.

• Sensor must be below and as far
as possible away from lights.

• Sensor functions best when
movement is across its detection
pattern, not towards the sensor.

• Mount 5-8’ high for optimum
range and direction. Lower mount-
ing height will reduce range
(which may be desired).

• Turn controls gently. DO NOT
force past stops.
