1. Lights may turn on occasionally
during rain, snow and windstorms
because the sensor is detection
changes in temperature.
Solution:
Mount sensor in protected area.
If false detections are a constant
problem, reduce sensitivity (turn
counterclockwise) until the problem
stops.
2. Tilt the sensor lower, it may be
seeing distant objects moving.
3. You may not be aware that
animals have triggered the sensor.
Check sensor aiming to reduce
nuisance triggering or mask the
lower part of the lens with opaque
weatherproof tape to create an
“Animal Alley”.
4. Although it is
surge and transient protected, the
sensor may turn on occasionally
during extreme voltage surges.
5. A possible source of “mysteri-
ous” sensor activations are strong
local radio signals. Check for nearby
CB, Ham, VHF radio transmitters or
Cellular telephones. The sensor may
be activated but will not be perma-
nently impaired by these signals.
6. Check all the Solutions mentioned
under “Lights Turn On and Off”.
7. Check items #2, 4, 5, 6 and 7
under “Lights Do Not Turn Off.”
