Aiming and Walk Testing

Test Period:

The sensor has a Test mode which allows 

it to be aimed and walk tested day or 
night.

• Switch the sensor to Test mode by 

adjusting the time control to test 
setting. Power on sensor. 

• During the 60 second warm up period, 

the lights will be turned on. During this 
time, test that all fixtures and lamps 
function properly.

•  After the warmup period, the sensor 

will keep lights on for 5 seconds 
each time it detects movement in its 
Detection Zone. 

•  Once the Detection Zone is tested, 

adjust the sensor Time control to 
desired standby time.

Walk Test:

The purpose of the Walk Test is to check 

and adjust the coverage pattern.

1. Aim the sensor approximately to cover 

the area you desire. 

2. Start outside the Detection Zone and 

walk across the zone until the lights 
go on. As distance from the sensor 
increases, it will take more movement 
to be detected. For instance, at 10 feet, 
a half step will be enough, while at 30 
feet, several steps will be necessary.

3. To reduce range tilt sensor down. 

Repeat steps #2 and #3 until you are 
satisfied with the coverage. 

4. After testing is complete, adjust the 

time setting to desired setting by 
turning time control knob (5 sec to 
15 mins).

5. Your sensor is ready for operation. See 

the Technical Tips pages if additional 
help is needed.
