SECURITY OVERRIDE
The EW sensors have an override-on feature which allows lights to be turned on/high for the set
time delay period.
•
If there is an installed switch—turning the switch off then on, turns the lights on/high. If no
motion is detected by the sensor, the lights will remain on/high for for approximately one
minute and then turn off/low.
This will also happen when power is restored after a power outage.
Note:
If the lights do not turn on/high, the sensor may be inactive due to the light level. Turn
the switch off for 5 seconds, then turn it on. The lights should turn on/high as described above.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Lights do not turn off/low:
1. The sensor may be detecting movement outside the desired coverage area. The sensor’s
lens may need to be masked to block unwanted coverage (see Masking, page 2). If this does
not solve the problem, see step 2.
2. Test to see that the sensor is operating properly. Set the time delay to minimum (12
seconds). Remain still, or move out of range of the sensor. If there is no movement in the
coverage area, the sensor should turn lights off/low in 12 seconds. Reset the time delay to
the desired value.
3. If the lights do not turn off/low, have a person qualified to check high voltage connections
verify that the sensor and lighting are wired correctly (see Wiring and Installation, page 5 &
6).
CAUTION:
Make sure power is turned off at the circuit breaker before checking wiring.
4. If the sensor is wired correctly, call our Technical Support number.
Lights turn on/high when there is sufficient daylight:
Decrease the light level setting, as desired (counterclockwise toward the moon
icon, see Dial
Adjustments, page 7 & 8).
Lights do not turn on/high:
1. If there is a controlling switch installed, make sure that it is turned on.
2. If the lights do not turn on/high when lights are needed—increase the light level setting, as
desired (clockwise toward the sun
icon, see Dial Adjustments, page 7 & 8).
3. Have a person qualified to check high voltage connections verify that the sensor and lighting
are wired correctly (see Wiring and Installation, page 5 & 6).
CAUTION:
Make sure power is turned off at the circuit breaker before checking wiring.
4. If the sensor is wired correctly, call our Technical Support number.
