Assembly and Wiring
1. Choose the clapboard or straight
wall mounting plate. SmartLantern
may be painted to match the wall
finish, if desired. Mask the lens area
carefully with the Lens Mask provided
or with masking tape before painting.
2. Measure the length of sensor
extender needed to give the sensor
a clear view below all parts of the
lantern. Use hacksaw to cut off
excess extender length, if necessary.
Once the proper length of the
extender has been determined,
drill through two holes to line up
with the wall mounting plate. Note
that there are drilling guides to
make drilling easier.
3. Bring wires from sensor up
through the wireways in the extender.
Keep wires in place by press fitting
the plastic wire retainers provided
onto the posts of the wireways.
4. Fasten the sensor extender to the
wall mounting plate with the two
screws provided.
5. Bring power leads, light fixture and
sensor leads into box.
6. Attach ground wire(s) to outlet box
grounding screw.
7. Strip 1/2” insulation from leads.
Connect as shown in Wiring Diagram.
8. Twist on wire nuts. Secure with
electrical tape.
9. Fasten lantern and mounting
plate to box using lantern mounting
nipple and crossbar provided.
Use silicone sealant around all
openings.
10. Screw in light bulbs. Turn on
power.
11. Conduct Walk Test to adjust
sensor response.

Wiring more than one sensor
together is recommended only for
the experienced installer because
it becomes difficult to trobleshoot.
Single sensors that control their
own lights pinpoint movement
more accurately and operate
better.
Sensors should not be installed on
a circuit that also feeds motor
loads such as HVAC equipment,
kitchen appliances, or garage door
openers. If voltage varies signifi-
cantly from 120 volts, sensors
may malfunction.
