TECHNICAL TIPS
Lights Do Not Turn On
1. Check that lamps and fixtures work. Compare wiring to the wiring
diagram in this manual. Check that the power is on.
2. If installing during daylight, remember that the sensor will provide
5 minutes of
Test Time
after power is turned on. After 5 minutes,
the sensor will switch to
Automatic Mode
and will not work
during daylight if the photocell control is turned to the night
only position
(moon symbol)
. If you require 5 more minutes of
Test Time
, turn the power off for at least 10 seconds and back on
again. If you require the sensor to operate both day and night,
turn the center control knob counterclockwise to the sun and
moon symbol.
3. Check that lights from another source, such as adjacent porch
lights, garden lights or street lights are not in the sensor’s view.
The sensor’s photocell may detect the light and deactivate
“daylight”. If you desire the sensor to operate in higher ambient
light levels, turn the photocell control
(center knob)
toward the
sun symbol.
4. Was sensor wired hot? If so circuitry may have been damaged.
Range Appears Limited
1. Check that the sensor is level from side to side and pointed at the
area you desire. If unit is tilted, part of the detection zone may be
high in the air over people’s heads.
Lights Turn Off Too Quickly
1. Check if sensor is being “tricked” by reflected light. If lights
controlled by the sensor shine or reflect into the photocell
(located behind the lens)
the unit will go on briefly, see its own
light, and turn off “thinking” that it is daytime.
2. Check if “R” lamps, non-reflector “A” lamps or self-ballasted PL
lamps are being used in a non-enclosed lampholder. If so, switch
to reflector PAR floodlight lamps or Quartz floods so the sensor is
not affected by stray light. If using PAR floodlights, consider using
lower wattage, energy saving lamps.
Solution
Adjust photocell control
(center knob)
slightly counterclockwise,
to allow operation at higher ambient light levels. Alternatively,
move the lights or reflectors or mask the lens in the direction of
the lights and/or reflections.
Solution
Position sensor exactly level from side to side.
Solution
Mounting at 6 feet to 12 feet allows maximum range.
Problem
Lights reflect into photocell, or lights shine directly into photocell
WRONG!
2. Check that the sensor is not mounted too high. If mounted
above 20 feet, much of the usable range will be lost.
