1. Check if sensor is being “tricked” by 

reflected light. If lights shine or reflect 
into the photocell, (located behind the 
lens), the unit will go on briefly and 
turn off thinking it is daytime.
Problem: Lights reflect into photocell 
or lights shine directly into photocell.

Solution: Adjust Photocell Control 
slightly clockwise, toward the sun 
symbol. This allows the sensor to 
function in brighter ambient light 
conditions. Alternatively, move the 
lights or mask the lens in the direction 
of the lights or reflections. If the 
problem persists, it may be necessary 
to increase the lenth of the sun shield 
over the sensor using weatherproof 
tabe or some other material.

2. Check if “R” lamps, “A” lamps or self-

ballasted PL lamps are being used in 
a non-enclosed lampholder that can 
be “seen” by the sensor. If so, switch 
to reflector PAR floodlight lamps or 
Quartz floods so the sensor is not 
affected by stray light. If using PAR 
floodlights, consider using lower 
wattage, energy saving lamps.

Self ballasted compact fluorescent 
lamps may cause the sensor to cycle 
on and off.

Technical Tips:

Lights Do Not Turn On

Lights Turn Off

Too Quickly

1. Check that lamps and fixtures work. 

Compare wiring to the Wiring 
Diagram in this manual. Check that 
the power is on.

2. If installing during daylight, remember 

that the sensor will provide a 3 minute 
Test Period after power is turned on. 
After 3 minutes, the sensor will switch 
to Automatic Mode and will not 
work during daylight if the Photocell 
Control is turned to or near the night 
only position (fully counter clockwise 
to the moon symbol). 

If you require another 3 minute Test 
Period, turn the power off for at least 
10 seconds and back on again.

If you require the sensor to operate 
both in low level light and at night, 
turn the Photocell Control knob 
clockwise to the sun symbol.

3. Check that lights from other sources, 

such as adjacent porch lights, garden 
lights, streetlights or lights from inside 
the house are not in the sensor’s view. 
See #1 under “Lights Turn Off Too 
Quickly”.

4. Was sensor wired hot? If so, circuitry 

may have been damaged.

5. If sensor is painted, make sure there is 

no paint on the lens and that the lens 
paint mask is removed.

5.Make sure lights are not visible from or 

reflecting back into sensor. Check for 
white or reflective surfaces close to the 
sensor.

Solution: Aim sensor away from lights 
and reflective objects or mask the 
lens in the direction of the light or 
reflection.

 

 

6. Heavy rain, snow or high winds may 

activate the sensor occasionally.

Solution: Reduce sensitivity control 
settings, mount in a more protected 
area and/or mask the lens if this is a 
constant problem.

7. Make sure sensor is not aimed within 

30’ of a road or sidewalk. Passing cars 
will activate sensor. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Solution: Mask the top of the lens to 
reduce Detection Pattern Length.

8. Self ballasted PL lamps may cause 

cycling (on-off).

9. Check solutions 1, 2, 3, 5 & 6 under 

“Lights Do Not Turn Off” (Pg. 10).

1.  Make sure the sensor is installed 

on its own dedicated circuit free of 
motor loads such as HVAC equipment, 
kitchen appliances or garage door 
openers.

2.  It is not recommended to wire sensors 

in parallel. More than one sensor 
wired together makes them difficult 
to troubleshoot. Disconnect multiple 
sensors and test separately.

3.  Keep all people completely out of the 

detection pattern to make sure the 
sensor is not detecting them.

4.  Make sure sensor is located below and 

as far as possible from its lights. Heat 
from the lights may trigger the sensor.

 

 
 
 
 

Solution: Move sensor below and 
away from the lights.

Lights Turn On and Off Incorrectly
