•
All wiring MUST comply with local
electrical codes and should be installed
by qualified electrician.
•
Read entire Installation Manual before
proceeding.
TURN OFF POWER BY REMOVING
POWER FUSE OR TURNING OFF CIRCUIT
BREAKER BEFORE INSTALLATION.
• Total lighting load must not exceed:
5 amps, 500 watts incandescent quartz
when sensor is used remotely (250 watts
when floodlights are mounted ot sensor)
or 100 watt fluorescent at 120 volts or 5
Amps, 450 Watts LED at 120 Volts with
0.8pF driver or 5 Amp, 300 Watts LED at
120 Volts with 0.5pF driver.
To switch more wattage, an electrician
can install an additional relay.
• Line Carrier Remote Control Systems
such as X-10, Leviton or Radio Shack are
incompatible with sensors and cause
false activations.
• Do not install on circuits feeding motor
loads such as kitchen appliances, HVAC
equipment, washer/ dryer or garage door
openers.
• Sensor functions best when movement is
across its detection pattern, not towards
the sensor.
• Mount 6’-10’ high for optimum range and
direction.

1. Tuff Dome sensors should be wall
mounted.
2. Remove plastic lens cover and Tuff
Dome sensor assembly from mounting
plate.
3. Tuff dome can be mounted to 4” round
outlet boxes, octagon, single rectangular
or Gem boxes.
4. Place the rectangular gasket supplied
between the Tuff Dome mounting plate
and the chosen outlet box.
5. Put mounting plate on chosen outlet
box and match up holes. Tap out
knockouts if necessary.
6.
If using floodlights, screw the threaded
arm(s) of each floodlight into the die
cast housing of the Tuff Dome. Leave
the locknuts and arm screws loose until
ready to aim. Always mount the sensor
below lights.
7. Bring power leads, sensor leads and
floodlight leads into outlet box.
8. Make sure outlet box is properly
gounded.
9. Strip 1/2” of insulation from all leads.
Connect as shown in wiring diagram.
10. Twist on wire nuts, secure with
electrical tape.
11. Put round gasket between sensor
assembly and mounting plate.
Use keyhole alots to secure sensor
assembly to mounting plate. Use
silicone sealant around all openings.
12. Aim sensor. Perform Walk Test, see
section, “Aiming and Walk Testing” on
page 9.
13. Put lens cover back on Tuff dome
using (3) screws.
14. Turn on power.
Tuff Dome Assembly
Basic Wiring Diagram
Vandalproof Installation
Screws:
Tuff Dome sensors are shipped with
stainless steel screws holding the plastic
lens on the front of the sensor. If desired,
you may install vandalproof screws and
tighten with Hex wrench (screws and
wrench supplied).
Plugs:
Tuff Dome has three 1/2” plugs in the
die cast housing of the sensor. A unique
feature of these plugs is that you may
insure a vandalproof case by removing
the plugs, tuning them around, and re-
installing the plugs from the back of the
Tuff Dome sensor (if you are not using
the holes for lighting fixture).
The reversed plugs do not have
screwdriver slots which reduce the
chance of tampering.
