Location Considerations
• Choose a location from which the sensor can “see” all the paths
of movement that will be illuminated by its lights.
• If wall mounting, locate 8-10’ high for optimum range and
detection. Lower mounting height will reduce range. Sensor
must be below and as far as possible away from lights.
• Mount on stable surface that is protected from rain.
• Do not mount on a pole or tree that sways in the wind.
• Sensor functions best when the direction of expected
movement is across its detection pattern, not towards
the sensor.
(Fig 10)
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 fi xtures 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.

Detection Pattern
Start
Finish
To keep lights on at night, fl ip the wall switch two times
(OFF-ON-OFF-ON) within 5 seconds. Sensor resets to auto mode
after 6 hours. Switch the power ON and OFF once (OFF-ON) quickly
to go to AUTO mode. No extra wiring needed.
Time Control: (Fig 12)
Sets the time that lights will remain on after
the Detection Zone is vacated. Time setting ranges from
approximately 5 seconds to 15 minutes. Turn gently. Do not turn
past stops.
Sensitivity:
Increases or decreases the responsiveness and range
of the sensor.

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 (Fig 11)
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 satisfi ed 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.
