Make sure that the fixture is tightly secured against the wall. If the fixture is loosely mounted or if the CAP NUTS cannot be tightened completely, it can be fixed as follows: The (Qty. 2) MACHINE SCREWS on the UPPER CROSSBAR can be adjusted by loosening their nuts (not seen in figures above) and then screwing them in or out to alter the length of MACHINE SCREWS sticking out from the UPPER CROSSBAR. Once the adjustment appears correct, lock the MACHINE SCREWS in place with their nuts and then secure the fixture tightly against the wall by using the (Qty. 2) CAP NUTS.
- Turn the power ON at the circuit breaker (or replace fuse) and confirm that the fixture is functioning properly. Completely cover the DUSK-TO-DAWN SENSOR using the sensor cap provided and confirm that the fixture lights up.
- Once the functionality is confirmed, consider use of waterproof glue or silicone caulk to seal the FIXTURE BASE to the wall surface to ensure that the fixture is completely waterproof. If water enters the junction box, it may damage the fixture and/or building/residence.
