LIGHTS TURN ON AND OFF INCORRECTLY
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 diffi cult 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.
5. Make sure lights are not visible from or refl ecting back into
sensor. Check for white or refl ective surfaces close to the sensor.
6. Heavy rain, snow or high winds may activate the sensor
occasionally.
