1. Adjust Time Delay:
The time delay is the amount of time that elapses before lights turn
off since the sensor last detected motion. This can be set from
12 seconds to 16 minutes
.
For normal operation, the time delay
should be set to 1 minute or more
.
• In areas where there is mostly walk through movement, the time
delay amount can be low.
• In areas where people may stop and remain for periods of time,
the time delay should be set to a higher amount, preferably
16 minutes.

TESTING AFTER INSTALLATION
To facilitate
coverage testing
, the
factory setting
for Time Delay is 12 seconds, and the
Light Level is at Maximum.
2. Adjust Light Level:
Turning the light level adjustment dial raises or lowers a
daylight level
in the sensor. When the light of the day rises above this set level, the
sensor becomes
inactive
; this keeps the lights off when there is enough
daylight present.
We suggest initially setting the light level adjustment to
half way
between minimum and maximum. If a different setting is desired after
installation, then follow the Making Changes procedures, next page.

TIME DELAY DIAL
Minimum: 12 seconds

If you want to test a sensor for intended detection or operation:
1. Make sure that the time delay is set to 12 seconds and the light level is set to maximum
(clockwise to the sun
icon). (The dials are located on the bottom of the sensor.)
2. Adjust sensor and lamp holders to the desired position.
3. Ensure that power has been restored to the sensor.
4. Move into the location to be tested; lights should turn on. Stand still. In about 12 seconds
the lights should turn off. Move or walk and the lights should turn on. Repeat this process
to test other locations. Make sensor coverage adjustments as needed (see Coverage
adjustment and Masking, page 2).
Note:
When power is restored to the sensor, the lights will turn on for the set time delay,
or a minimum of approximately one minute (see Security Override, page 9).
Note:
If the lights do not turn on with movement in the area after they have turned off in
step 4, the level of daylight may be too high and the sensor’s light level adjustment is
keeping the sensor inactive. Wait until daylight levels have reduced before testing again.
5. See Dial Adjustments, below, for guidelines to adjust the
time delay
and
light level
to
the desired settings for operation.

(continued):
Making Changes
If you want the lights
to turn on sooner
—turn the dial toward the sun
icon, as desired;
this raises the
daylight level
. (Remember, the sensor must detect motion for lights to turn on.)
• The lights
turn on sooner
in the
evening
• The lights
stay on longer
in the
morning
If you want the lights
to turn on later
—turn the dial toward the moon
icon, as desired;
this lowers the
daylight level
. (Remember, the sensor must detect motion for lights to turn on.)
• The lights
turn on later
in the
evening
• The lights
turn off sooner
in the
morning
Notes:
• When testing adjustments, make sure not to block any of the daylight that is reaching
the sensor or reflect any daylight into sensor’s lens.
• The sensor requires about 5 seconds for light level adjustments to take effect. This
feature prevents the lights from turning on and off with quick light reflections, from car
windows for example.
• The sensor will not turn lights off until no motion is detected and the time delay elapses.
