OWNER'S MANUAL
Also regard the following considerations:
The security floodlight operates on 110-120
volt, 60 Hertz electrical power
only
. Do
not
connect it to any other voltage source.
Locate the security floodlight at least 8 feet
(2.5 meters) above the ground.
The security floodlight
sensor
may not
point toward a reflective surface such as a
window, swimming pool or similar reflective
surface.
Do not install the security floodlight
above
a heat pump, air conditioner, heater, electric
light or similar device. These devices
produce heat that may cause false
triggering of the security floodlight.
The sensor is most sensitive to motion
across
the beam pattern and least
sensitive to movement toward or away from
the sensor. Therefore, you want to point the
sensor so that the normal walking path is
across the beam pattern.
Preparation of the Security
Floodlight for Installation
Prepare the security floodlight for installation
at your kitchen table or workbench as follows:
1. You will need a No. 1 or 2 Phillips head
screwdriver, a
1
/
4
inch straight blade
screwdriver and a pair of combination slip-
joint or channel pliers.
You will also need a dry wooden ladder to
reach the installation (a wet ladder or a
metal ladder conducts electricity).
FLOOD LAMPS (BULBS)
Your security floodlight uses two 150 watt
(maximum) incandescent, quartz or halogen
flood lamps. if you are replacing an old floodlight
installation, save the flood lamps. If you are
making a new installation, obtain two flood
lamps from your local hardware store or home
center.
ELECTRICAL POWER
CIRCUIT AND WALL
SWITCH INSTALLATION
If you are not replacing an existing floodlight
(or another outdoor light at least 8 feet [2.4
meters] high), or if you do not have a wall switch
and would like to operate the security floodlight
manually (as well as automatically), have a
person experienced and licensed in electrical
wiring install a power circuit, an indoor wall
switch and a round electrical junction box (on
the outside of the house or building where the
security floodlight will be mounted). The
installation instructions that follow assume that
a 110-120 volt, 60 Hertz power line is available
at a junction box on the exterior of your house
or building. Read
Site Selection
before
installing a new power circuit.
INSTALLATION OF
SECURITY FLOODLIGHT
Follow these procedures to easily install your
security floodlight. Four major steps of
installation include: site selection, preparation
of the security floodlight for installation,
removing an old floodlight assembly (if there is
one), and installation of the security floodlight.
Site Selection
Walk around your home or building and choose
the best location for installing the security
floodlight with regard to the following:
Consider replacing an existing floodlight
with the security floodlight. Use the
electrical wiring to the old floodlight for the
security floodlight.
