PREPARE FOR INSTALLATION

Remove fixture components and parts pack. Check to ensure all parts are included. Note: Account for small parts and destroy packing material, as these may be hazardous to children.

FIXTURE PACKING LIST

*Contained in parts packs
Mounting Hardware Included Silicone Sealant Required
REQUIRED TOOLS

SELECT MOUNTING LOCATION

For installation to properly installed and grounded UL listed round recessed or surface mounted weatherproof junction box.
Note: Suitable for eave mount and wall mount above 4ft (1.2m) Not suitable for ground mount installation

Do NOT use with dimmers or timers or on multiple switch circuits. If dimmer control or three-way dimmer is present contact a qualified electrician to remove them and replace with regular electrical switch.
Do NOT install on the same circuit with an electric motor (i.e. appliances, HVAC equipment, washer/dryer, garage door opener, etc.
Do NOT install near objects that change temperature rapidly, such as heating vents and air conditioners. These heat sources could cause false triggering.
Do NOT install Nearby large, light-colored objects reflecting light may trigger the shut-off feature. Do not point other lights at the daylight sensor.

INSTALLING MOUNTING BRACKET

Turn OFF Power at circuit breaker box
CAUTION: Do not rely on wall switch alone to turn off power.

• Loosen the center mounting screw (E) and remove the mounting bracket. Note: Center mounting screw and bracket are pre-installed on the light fixture for shipping.
• Install the mounting bracket (D) to the junction box using two 3/4” #6 or #8 or #10 mounting screws (F). Note: Choose one of the 3 screw sizes provided depending on your junction box.

CAUTION: WIRING
Make sure power is turned off. Connect to 120V, power source only.

• Use wire nut to connect the bare copper or green house supply ground wire to the green fixture ground wire. Note: If house wiring does not include a ground wire, consult your local electrical code for approved grounding methods.

For proper connection, place wire nut over wires and twist clockwise until tight.

• Use wire nut to connect the white fixture wire to the white (neutral) house supply wire.
• Use wire nut to connect the black fixture wire to the black house supply wire.

FIXTURE INSTALLATION

• Position light fixture over j-box and align center mounting screw with center hole in mounting bracket, secure by tightening center mounting screw (E). Note: Make sure no wires are pinched before tightening.
• Insert rubber plug (H) into center hole to cover the center mounting screw head and provide moisture seal.

Turn on electricity at fuse or circuit breaker box and make sure the wall switch is on to verify success of installation. Note: Light Fixture will not come on during daylight if Motion Sensor Head is not set to TEST mode.

MOISTURE SEAL

• Apply silicone caulking (not included) around perimeter of the fixture where it contacts the mounting surface to avoid water entry.

AIM LAMP HEADS

Gently grasp lamp heads (B) and position in desired directions.
CAUTION – Risk of Shock: Aim lamp heads at least 20° down below horizontal in order to prevent water from accumulating inside lens.

See next pages for MOTION SENSOR SET UP INSTRUCTIONS

Make sure the wall switch is in ON position (if controlled by a wall switch) NOTE: During daylight all lights are off.

1. If testing the light during daytime, set the TIME control to the TEST position to disable the photosensor and allow light to come on during daylight hours. See Fig. C.

2. Set the SENSITIVITY control to maximum setting. See Fig. D. Note: Factory setting is at highest sensitivity.

3. Aim the MOTION SENSOR HEAD level and across the desired detection area. See Fig. A.
   Avoid aiming the control at:
   • Objects that change temperature rapidly, such as heating vents and air conditioners. These heat sources could cause false triggering.
   • Areas where pets or traffic may trigger the control.
   • Nearby large, light-colored objects reflecting light may trigger the shut- off feature. Do not point other lights at the sensor.
   Align the arrow on the knuckle between the 0-30 degree mark on the motion head see Fig. E. Adjust the tilt angle between 0-30 degree depending on your mounting height and desired detection range. Use chart in Fig. B as general guide.

4. Test motion detection by walking across your detection area (70ft /200°) in a zigzag pattern. See Fig. F. Note: Walking up to the motion detector in a straight line may keep you in between detection regions, and your light will not come on. A red LED indicator light in the motion head will flash when motion is detected and the lights will come on momentarily.
   Move to different spots in the area to be tested and stop all motion for about 10 seconds. The lights should turn off. Start walking again to see if motion is detected in the new spot. Repeat the walk test in other spots to determine the coverage area. Note: When testing assure there are no other people or animals causing motion in the detection area.
   As distance from the sensor increases, it will take more movement to be detected. The sensitivity can be adjusted to increase or decrease detection if desired. Adjust the sensitivity as needed. Sensitivity set too high may cause false triggering. See Fig. D.

5. Once Motion detection in the coverage area is confirmed, set the TIME control to 1 or 5 minutes time for the lights to remain on at night time once motion stops. See Fig. G. Note: Lights remain on as long as there is movement within the detection zone.

MANUAL OVERRIDE

NOTE: TIME contol must be set at 1 or 5 to use manual override.
To disable the motion sensor and keep the light continuously on for the night, flip the wall switch off for 3 seconds and then back on.
To reset to Security mode, flip the switch off again for 3 seconds and then back on.
If you leave the light on all night it will automatically turn off at dawn and reset to Security mode.
NOTE: If you get confused while switching modes, turn the power at the breaker or wall switch off for one minute, then back on. After the calibration time, the control will be in the Security mode.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

If this fixture fails to operate properly, use the guide below to diagnose and correct the problem.

2.Fuse is blown or circuit breaker is turned off.
3.Incorrect circuit wiring.
4.Motion is not detected.
5.Photosensor does not work.| 1.Turn light switch on.
2.Replace fuse or turn circuit breaker on.
3.Verify wiring is correct. Check wire connections.
4.Increase sensitivity.
5.Set TIME contol to TEST and verify operation.
Lights come on during the day| 1. Light fixture/Sensor may be located in a shaded area or location with limited exposure to sun.
2. Motion Sensor is in TEST mode.| 1. Fixture is operating normally under these conditions.
2. Set TIME control to 1 or 5 position.
Lights come on for no apparent reason| 1. Motion sensor maybe detecting movement from small animals or passing cars.
2. Sensitivity set too high.
3.The outdoor temperature is getting cooler.
4. The light fixture is wired through a dimmer or timer.| 1/2/3. Reduce sensitivity.
4. Do NOT use a dimmer or timer to control light fixture.
Lights stay on continuously| 1.Motion Sensor is in Manual Override mode.
2.The sensor may be picking up a heat source like an air vent, dryer vent, or brightly painted, heat-reflective surface.| 1.Follow manual override instructions to reset.
2.Reduce sensitivity.
Lights flash on and off (strobing)| 1.Heat or light from the lamps may be tuming the light control on and off.
2.Heat being reflected from other objects may be affecting the sensor.
3.Sensor is in Test mode.| 1.Reposition the lamp heads so Light is not reflected toward the Daylight sensor within the Motion sensor head.
2.Reduce Sensitivity.
3.While in TEST mode, light only stays on for 5 seconds.
Range appears limited| 1.Sensor is not level.
2.Sensor is mounted too high or low.
3.Movement is directly towards sensor.|  1. Position sensor exactly level from side to side
2. If mounted above 20 feet, much of the usable range
will be lost. Mount at 6 to 10 feet for max. range.
3. Move Sensor. Sensor will see movement across
detection pattern more quickly. Move sensor in W increments.
Lights will not trigger with motion| 1.Sensitivity may be set too low.
2.Motion Head not aimed correctly.| 1.Increase Sensitivity.
2.See section for aiming and setting motion Sensor.
