Safety Information

SHUT OFF POWER AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE PANEL BEFORE REMOVING THE OLD FIXTURE OR INSTALLING THE NEW ONE.

READ ENTIRE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE BEFORE YOU BEGIN!

• LIGHT FIXTURE REQUIRES A 120VAC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
• LIGHT MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
• SOME REGIONAL/LOCAL CODES REQUIRE INSTALLATION BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

WARNING

• This fixture can only be installed over a recessed electrical box OR a UL-Listed surface mount electrical box rated for wet locations. Surface mount electrical boxes require the use of the included foam gasket, to prevent water from seeping into the electrical box.
• BURN HAZARD: Keep fixture’s lamp heads at least 2 in. from combustible material.
• Do not look directly at the LEDs for an extended period of time. They can cause eye damage.
• To avoid water damage, position light heads and sensor head in the correct position as indicated.

CAUTION!

• BURN HAZARD: Allow light to cool down prior to touching.
• Minimum 90°C supply conductors. For fixture electrical ratings, see fixture label.
• Please consult a qualified electrician if you are unfamiliar with electrical installations, or methods of properly grounding an electrical fixture.
• Fixture will reliably operate between the temperatures of -20°F to 122°F. (At temperatures above 92°F, the PIR may not detect body heat.)

ATTENTION

• LEDs can be damaged by electrostatic discharge shock. To remove this hazard, touch a grounded bare metal surface to discharge yourself before installation.
• If the power goes out, the fixture will maintain previous settings, so there is no need to go up the ladder to adjust once the power has been restored. Fixture will need 20-30 seconds to warm up once turned back on.

Things to Consider Prior to Mounting

SELECT A LOCATION THAT ALLOWS THE SENSOR TO PERFORM AT ITS PEAK EFFICIENCY.
MINIMUM MOUNTING HEIGHT: 8 FT.
OPTIMAL MOUNTING HEIGHT: 8-10 FT.
Mounting above the 10 ft. can decrease the sensor detection range.
DO NOT mount near light sources (street lights, traffic).

PASSIVE INFRARED (PIR) SENSOR ZONE
SENSOR ORIENTATION

THE FIXTURE USES A PASSIVE INFRARED (PIR) MOTION SENSOR AND AS SUCH DETECTS CHANGES IN INFRARED RADIATION OF WARM OBJECTS MOVING ACROSS THE DETECTION ZONES.

• The PIR sensor can be triggered by a variety of sources including dryer vents, hot tubs, idling vehicles, etc.
• The PIR sensor CANNOT detect motion through plexiglass, plastic, or glass barriers.
• DO NOT aim the PIR toward areas with pedestrian and motorized traffic and/or other objects that generate heat.
• DO NOT mount near nighttime light sources (street lights, traffic). Light sources can cause the light to operate in daylight mode.

How To Wire the Light

DANGER! SHUT OFF POWER TO THE JUNCTION BOX BEFORE INSTALLING THE FIXTURE.

For Surface Box Mounting ONLY:
Remove the protective liner from the gasket, align the center hole of the gasket with that of the mounting strap, and apply the gasket to the outer edge of the surface mounting box as shown.

Attach the mounting strap to junction box

1. Using two small or medium box screws, attach the mounting strap to the junction box and pull the ends of the supply wires out of the junction box.
2. Insert junction box wires into the electrical box connector

NOTE: Ground wires are normally a green insulated or bare copper wire.
CAUTION WIRES MUST BE FULLY INSERTED INTO THE CONTACT HOLES.

3. Connect the box and the fixture connector
Both halves should “snap” together when properly connected.

4. Tuck the wires into the junction box
Carefully, tuck the connection wires and the joined connectors into the junction box behind the mounting strap.

Attaching the Light

5. Fasten the mounting screw
Align the center hole of the fixture and the mounting strap. Insert the long mounting screw and fasten it until the light is secure to the junction box.

CAUTION DO NOT PINCH WIRES WHEN TIGHTENING DOWN.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

Verify light works
Restore power to the junction box and verify the wiring is correct.

IMPORTANT Verify the light switch is in the “ON” position first. During daylight hours, it may be necessary to block the light from the sensor head by blocking the light from it by covering it with a dark towel or sock. This will enable the light to activate. Should the light still not turn on, refer to the wiring section and recheck the wire connections.

Add the plug
Insert the translucent silicone plug into the center mounting hole.

IMPORTANT: AIM THE PIR SENSOR TOWARD THE INTENDED DETECTION AREA.
THE PIR CONTROL PANEL SHOULD FACE DOWNWARD TOWARD THE GROUND FOR EASY ACCESS.

How the Controls Work
The fixture has a built-in light sensor that prevents the motion sensor or area light from activating during daylight hours. Once the power has been turned on, the fixture needs around 20 to 30 seconds to warm up. The light will turn off after around 20 seconds, then the light will go to the Set To Go factory presets (50ft. detection range, 3 minute light activation.)

FACTORY PRESETS

Set To Go: The security light is PRESET at the factory with the following settings:

Range: 50 feet Detection distance
Minutes: 3 min. (duration) Time the light stays on after detecting motion

If these settings are acceptable for your needs, you don’t need to do anything more with the SetToGo settings except to do the actual electrical installation of the fixture.

ATTENTION! To change the factory SetToGo default settings, follow the instructions below.

Customize Settings

This fixture includes a TEST mode for customizing the settings. Switch the TIMER control knob to TEST. TEST allows the light to activate in daylight hours to change the SetToGo settings.

SECURITY LIGHT TIME SETTINGS
To change the duration the light remains on after detecting motion, rotate the “Minutes” dial to the preferred setting:

• Test: ONLY use during initial set-up. “Test” allows the motion detector to work during daylight hours to fine-tune the PIR sensitivity.
• 1’: Light will stay on for 1 minute after PIR detects motion.
• 2’: Light will stay on for 2 minutes after PIR detects motion.
• 5’: Light will stay on for 5 minutes after PIR detects motion.
• 10’: Light will stay on for 10 minutes after PIR detects motion.

IMPORTANT: THE DIAL MUST BE ROTATED AWAY FROM THE TEST SETTING FOR THE LIGHT ACTIVATION TO WORK PROPERLY. ROTATE THE DIAL TO A POINT ANYWHERE BETWEEN THE 1’ AND 10’ SETTINGS AND THE LIGHT WILL ONLY ACTIVATE DURING NIGHTTIME HOURS.

SECURITY LIGHT SENSOR RANGE SETTINGS
To change the sensitivity of the PIR distance sensing, rotate the “Range” dial the preferred setting:

• 10Ft: 10 feet, short range
• 20Ft: 20 feet, average range
• 50Ft: 50 feet, long range
• Max.: Up to 70 feet, extra long range

Rotate the RANGE control knob to any of the marked presets: 10 Ft. to Max. (~_70 ft.).
When the RANGE control knob is turned to 10 Ft., the detection zone is very tight and compact, causing the detection sensitivity to be very high. When the RANGE control knob is turned to Max., the detection zone becomes very broad, resulting in a low sensitivity.

VERIFYING RANGE SETTING
To confirm the set distance, perform a “walk-by test.” Walk straight across the sensor field at the approximate distance set on the RANGE control knob.
IF THE TEST FAILS, try adjusting the sensor head toward the detection zone.
Sensor head can be adjusted either up, down, left, or right.

Manual Override

To Switch To Manual Mode

To return to “AUTO” mode: Turn the switch to the OFF position for 10 seconds and then ON.

IMPORTANT

• THE SECURITY LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON UNTIL THE INTERNAL DUSK-TO-DAWN SENSOR DETECTS THE NEXT DUSK-DAWN CYCLE. ONCE THE LIGHT IS DETECTED, IT WILL ALLOW THE MOTION SENSOR TO RETURN TO CONTROLLING THE FIXTURE THE NEXT DAY.
• MANUAL OVERRIDE ALLOWS THE LIGHT TO TURN ON AT ANY TIME, BY OVERRIDING ALL SENSOR CONTROLS. IT ENABLES THE LIGHT TO ACTIVATE REGARDLESS OF THE TIME OF DAY. HOWEVER, THIS PROCESS MUST BE RESET EACH DAY AFTER DUSK TO DAWN FEATURE CYCLES THE PREVIOUS DAY’S MANUAL OVERRIDE CYCLE OFF.

Troubleshooting Guide

DANGER! Before doing any work on the fixture, shut off power supply at the circuit breaker panel to avoid electrical shock.
