Motion Sensor Customization Options (Continued)
Sensitivity of Motion Sensor
The sensitivity of the motion sensor can be adjusted by using the
“SENSITIVITY” knob located on the right side of the panel at the bottom
of the back plate (
See Fig. 2
). To increase sensitivity, turn the knob clockwise.
To decrease sensitivity, turn the knob counterclockwise. The sensitivity may
be adjusted from a minimum of 5 feet to a maximum of 30 feet.
NOTE:
1.
The sensitivity of the motion sensor will increase as the environmental
temperature gets cooler. For best performance, gently clean the lens with
a soft cloth every 1 or 2 months to maintain maximum sensitivity.
2.
For best performance, install fixture at least 6.5 feet above the ground.
At such a height, the fixture will provide a detection distance of up to 30
feet at 77 degrees Fahrenheit. (
See Fig. 3
)
3.
The sensor detects motion across a 150 degree range. (
See Fig. 4
)
4.
The sensor will be more sensitive to motion across its detection path than
motion directly towards it. (
See Fig. 5
)
5.
To reduce possible nuisances, do not mount the fixture near a heat source
like an air conditioner, vent or furnace exhaust, or in a direction facing any
reflecting object or other light source.
Troubleshooting:
If the light does not work at all:
1.
Make sure the wall switch and circuit breaker are on.
2.
Make sure the wiring connection is correct.
3.
Cover the sensor with dark color cloth to verify that the ambient light level is not too high.
In TEST Mode, if the light stays on over 5 seconds after motion is no longer detected:
1.
Make sure the slide switch is at the TEST position.
2.
Cover the sensor with a dark color cloth to verify that motion is not detected.
In AUTO Mode, if the lightstays on full brightness after 5 minutes:
1.
Make sure no motion could be detected by the sensor.
2.
Make sure that mode entry is not in manual override.
In D2D / Manual override Mode, if the light stays on after dawn:
1.
Whether the ambient light level is too low.
If the light blinks:
1.
Make sure the light is not mounted near a barbecue, air conditioner or other heat source.
