breaker before installing or servicing.
NOTE: Fixture can be wall or eave mounted (Fig. 2).
NOTE: Coverplate mounts to recessed mounted standard junction boxes (Fig.3). Junction box must be at least 1-1/2 inch in depth for proper installation for recessed mount application.
-
Line up the holes on the mounting bracket (B) with the holes on your junction box. Using either (2) #6 screws or (2) #8 screws (D) (depending on size of the holes in your junction box), attach the mounting bracket (B) to your junction box (Fig. 4).
-
Thread fixture wires through coverplate gasket (C) (Fig. 4).
-
Hang one end of the support hook onto the mounting bracket and hang the light fixture on the other end of the support hook (Fig. 5).
-
Connect fixture black wire to house black wire and fixture white wire to house white wire by firmly pushing into quick connect wiring connectors (Fig. 6).
-
Connect house ground wire and fixture ground wire by firmly pushing into quick connect wiring connector. (Fig. 6). Attach fixture (A) to the mounting bracket (B) using (2) #8 x 1-1/4 in. screws (F)
pre-attached to the canopy. Be sure no loose wires remain sticking out from underneath the coverplate.
Insert the decorative screw cover caps (G) into the screw holes on the coverplate for a finished appearance (Fig. 6). -
Adjust light fixture to desired postion by loosening the lower arm jam nut and the thumbscrew on the upper arm. Move the head to aim and retighten the thumbscrew and jam nut.
-
Apply silicone caulk around the edges of the coverplate and jam nuts at the base of the adjustment arms to provide a watertight seal from rain and moisture.
-
Turn on power at main fuse / breaker box.
OPERATING YOUR FIXTURE
-
Rotate knob on bottom of the sensor to “TEST” (Fig. 7).
-
Turn on the power to fixture. Allow fixture to warm up approximately 40 seconds before testing. (Lights may not come on during warm-up period.)
-
Aim sensor head toward desired detection area, maintaining a 5°–15° down angle to allow moisture to drain.
-
Walk across the detection zone at the farthest distance you wish your detector to detect motion.
-
Adjust sensor head angle until you get desired results. Lights will turn off 4 seconds after all motion stops.
NOTE: For maximum range performance, allow fixture to operate in any mode (with power to the unit) for at least 48 hours. -
To set the ON time, rotate knob arrow to point to the desired time setting within the TIME range (up to 12 minutes) (Fig. 8).
