FOR BEST RESULTS
• Install the motion sensor/transmitter 8-12 feet above
ground (motion sensor is less sensitive above 12 feet).
• Locate motion sensor so motion moves laterally or
towards the detection zone (Fig. 1).
• Locate sensor away from heat producing sources to
prevent false triggering. Also be very careful not to
include objects such as windows, white walls and
water in the detection zone.
• Locate fixture away from moving objects such as
trees, large shrubs and street traffic.
• Do not install more than one motion activated
floodlight on one wall switch.
MOUNTING YOUR FIXTURE
NOTE
: Universal coverplate mounts to recessed standard
grounded junction boxes (Fig. 2). Junction box must be
at least 1-1/2 inch in depth for proper installation.
NOTE:
For best performance when installing more than
one Precision Plus Doppler Radar™ fixture:
• Two or more units mounted side by side (facing the
same direction) should be at least 17 feet apart.
• Two units facing each other should be mounted at
least 100 feet apart.
• Fixture can be wall or eave mounted (Fig. 3).
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Disconnect
power at fuse or circuit breaker before installing
or servicing.
1.
Line up the holes on the mounting bracket (B) with
the holes on your junction box. Using either (2) #6
screws or (2) #8 screws (C) (depending on the size
of the holes in your junction box), attach the mounting
bracket (B) to your junction box (Fig. 4).
2.
Thread fixture wires through coverplate gasket (D).
3.
Position the gasket (D) on the coverplate and connect
the black wire from the fixture (A) to the black house
supply wire and the white wire from the fixture (A)
to the white supply wire using the wire nuts (E)
provided. Attach the ground wire coming from your
house to the copper ground wire from the fixture (A)
using wire nut (E) provided. If no house ground wire
is available, attach the copper ground wire from
the fixture (A) to the junction box if it is metal and
grounded. If junction box is not metal and no house
ground wire is available, an alternative ground
source must be used for safe operation (Fig. 5).
4.
Attach fixture (A) to the mounting bracket (B)
using the mounting plate screw (F) provided.
Be sure no loose wires remain sticking out from
underneath the coverplate. Insert plastic color-
matched (G) plug in mounting plate screw hole
for finished appearance (Fig. 6).
5.
Apply silicone caulking around edges of coverplate and
in any open holes to provide a watertight seal from
rain and moisture.
6.
Install protective lamp covers (H) onto lampholders
by lining up the nipples on the covers (H), over the
lampholder slots. Lock into place by twisting covers
counterclockwise (Fig. 7).
7.
Insert gaskets (I) into lampholders and screw
bulbs into each lampholder (Fig. 8). (Do not over
tighten bulbs.)
8.
Turn power on at main fuse/breaker box.
AIMING THE LIGHT
Loosen the knob on the side of the lampholder.
Tilt lampholder up or down to desired position, then
retighten knob.
WARNING: Deviation from the assembly
instructions may result in a risk of electric shock.
OPERATING YOUR FIXTURE
1.
Turn the arrow on the MODE knob to “TEST” for test
mode (Fig. 9).
2.
Turn the arrow on the SENSITIVITY knob to a middle
point between “+” and “–”.
TROUBLESHOOTING
3.
Turn on the power to the fixture (A). Allow fixture to warm up approximately 90 seconds
before testing. (Lights may or may not come on during warm-up period; this is normal.)
4.
Aim sensor toward the general direction that motion will be coming from. Maintain at least
1 inch of clearance between sensor head and lamps. Always position the sensor head with
control switches facing toward the ground.
NOTE: (Sensor Head Placement)
For optimum detection, you may have to experiment with
aiming and settings. Each location will be different and your terrain may affect the angle your
sensor needs. Adjusting the angle will change your area of detection. Here are some general
guidelines to help with setup:
• 8 ft.–12 ft. above the ground is a good range for
the placement of your fixture.
• For an 8 ft. mounting height, placing the sensor at
a 5° angle below horizontal should work well for
most locations (Fig. 10).
• If the fixture is mounted higher, the angle of the
sensor below horizontal should increase.
5.
Walk through the detection zone at the farthest distance you want your detector to
detect motion.
6.
Adjust the SENSITIVITY knob until you get desired results. For more range, aim sensor
slightly upward. For less range, aim sensor head slightly downward. Lights will turn off
4 seconds after motion stops.
7.
Adjust the “Auto” MODE knob to a time selection from 1m-12m, depending on how many
minutes you want the fixture to stay on after motion is detected. At dusk, the photo control
will activate your fixture to operate according to the settings chosen.
NOTE:
Decreasing the SENSITIVITY will decrease the distance the unit can detect.
NOTE:
During daylight hours, the red LED indicator light will flash when motion is detected.
This is normal.
Maximum lamp wattage cannot exceed 300 watts.

Cause / Solution
Lights do not
come ON with
motion at night.
No power to the fixture.
• Check if circuit breaker tripped.
• Confirm wall switch is ON.
Bulb is faulty.
• Replace bulb.
Surrounding external ambient light is too bright. (If so, the unit may
think it is daytime.)
• Re-aim the head.
• Relocate or reposition the unit away from the light.
TURN OFF POWER BEFORE CONTINUING
Wiring to the unit is loose.
• Check wiring, and reconnect if necessary using wire
nuts (E) provided.
