If you require the sensor to
operate both day and night,
turn the SUN/MOON control
knob clockwise 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 SUN/
MOON control knob counter clockwise toward the sun symbol.
4. Was sensor wired hot? If so circuitry may have been damaged.
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:
Problems:
Lights reflect into photocell
Lights shine directly into
photocell
Solution:
Adjust SUN/MOON
knob slightly clockwise, 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.
2. Check if “R” lamps, non-reflector “A” lamps or self-ballasted PL
lamps are being used in non-enclosed lampholder. If so, switch
to reflector PAR floodlight lamps so the sensor is not affected by
stray light. If using PAR floodlights, consider using lower wattage,
energy saving lamps.
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.
Solution:
Position sensor exactly level from side to side.
2. Check that the sensor is not mounted too high. If mounted
above 20', much of the usable range will be lost.
Solution:
Mounting at 6’ to 10’
allows maximum range.
3. Check that movement is not
directly towards sensor. Sensor
will see movement across its
pattern more quickly. To fix,
move the sensor.
4. Check that movement far away and directly towards sensor is
not entirely within one zone.
Problem:
Sensor will not detect until movement crosses zones.
Solution:
”Micro Adjust” sensor by moving sideways 1/4”. This may
move the zones to allow earlier detection.
