Problem:
Passing cars activate sensor.
Solution:
A 20’ safety zone between the
sensor and road is recommended to avoid
activation from passing cars.
Make sure heat from lights is not triggering
sensor. Make sure the sensor is below and
as far as possible away from lights.
Range Appears Limited
1. Check that movement is not directly
towards sensor. Sensor will see
movement across its pattern more
quickly. To fix, move the sensor.
2. Check that movement far away and
directly towards sensor is not entirely
within one Detection Pattern finger.
Problem:
Sensor will not detect until
movement crosses from one finger into a
second finger.
Solution:
“Micro Adjust” sensor by tilting
sensor 1/16”. This small adjustment may
move the zones to allow earlier detection.
Lights Do Not Turn On
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.
Check that the sensor is level from side to
side and pointed at the area you desire. If
unit is tilted, part of the Detection Zone
may be high in the air over people’s heads.
Solution:
Position sensor exactly level from
side to side.
Check that the sensor is not mounted too
high. If mounted above 20 feet, much of
the usable range will be lost.
If sensor is painted, make sure there is no
paint on the lens and that the lens paint
mask is removed.
You may tilt sensor to not aim in the direction
of the street or mask top of sensor lens to
reduce range
More sensitive
Less sensitive
Solution:
Mounting at 5’ to 8’ allows
maximum range.
