OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
to-dawn sensor. The dusk-to-dawn
sensor disables the motion detector during daylight hours and only allows the motion sensor to activate
the light after dark. The security light will not activate during daylight hours regardless of whether it sees
motion or not.
1. The slide switch on the bottom surface of the motion
sensor has four settings:
TEST-1-5-10
In the “TEST” position, the motion sensor will turn
the lights on for 40 seconds after power is applied to
The lights will come on for 40 seconds regardless
of whether there is motion or not, and regardless of
whether it is day or night. Leave the slide switch in the
“TEST” setting and adjust the sensitivity by crossing in
the path of the sensor. The light will come on only if it
senses movement. Once movement stops, it will turn
off in 5 seconds.
2. There is also a rotary knob on the bottom of the
motion sensor labeled:
SENSITIVITY
Rotating this knob clockwise raises the sensitivity of
the motion sensor for up to 60 ft. of distance.
Rotating the knob counterclockwise lowers the
sensitivity down to as close as 5 ft. It may be
necessary to adjust the “SENSITIVITY” knob several
particular installation. NOTE: The higher sensitivity
level for longer distances (up to 60 ft.) increases the
likelihood of false triggering. For maximum range
(with power) for at least 48 hours.
3. The 180° coverage of the motion sensor is
measured side to side. Therefore, the sensor will better
rather than motion coming straight at the sensor
(in-and-out). Adjust the motion sensor head so that it
sees motion moving across the coverage area. Make
sure the sensor head is positioned with the front lens
facing slightly downward (5°-15° angle) to prevent
water accumulation on the sensor head. Do not aim
the motion sensor at a body of water, bushes or plants
cars, etc., as this will trigger the motion sensor.

5, or 10” position. Each of these positions allows the
these settings indicates the time frame that the light
will remain on after detecting motion. If set for the “1”
setting, the lights will come on for 1 minute after
detecting motion, and then will go off and return to the
AUTO motion sensor mode. When set for “5”, the lights
will remain on for 5 minutes after detecting motion. If
set for “10”, the lights will remain on for 10 minutes
after detecting motion. If motion is continuously
detected during the lights’ “ON” cycle, the lights will
remain on until the motion ceases.
