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.

Suitable for wall mount between 6 to 8ft (1,8-2,4m) height with Accent light facing the ground. Not suitable for mounting within 4ft
(1.2m) from ground

Note: Mounting fixture above or below the recommended height may cause motion sensor not to work properly. If fixture is mounted higher than 8ft (2.4m), the distance and downward sensitivity will be reduced. The detector is less sensitive to motion directly towards it.

Do NOT use with dimmers or timers or on multiple switch circuits.
Do   NOT install on the same circuit with an electric motor (i.e. appliances, HVAC equipment, washer/dryer, garage door openers, 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.

Note: Center mounting screw and bracket are pre-installed on the light fixture for shipping.

• Loosen the center mounting screw (E) and remove the mounting bracket.
• 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.

• 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.

MOISTURE SEAL

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

FIXTURE INSTALLATION

• Align fixture over j-box and secure to mounting bracket 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 for moisture seal.

Turn on electricity at fuse or circuit breaker box and make sure the wall switch is on.

Note: Light will not come on during daylight.

• Cover Light Sensor to verify success of installation.

FIXTURE OPERATION

NOTE: During daylight all lights are off. Use the daylight sensor dial to adjust light sensor sensitivity if desired.

MOTION SENSOR SETTINGS

If you like to test your light during the daytime

• Set MODE dial to the TEST position to disable the photocell and allow light to come on during daylight hours.

• Walk across your motion detection zone (40ft/180degree).
  Note: Walk in a zigzag direction. Walking up to the motion detector in a straight line may keep you in between detection regions, and your light will not come on.

• If you find motion detection is to sensitive use MOTION dial to reduce sensitivity.

Note: Factory setting is at highest sensitivity. The sensitivity can be adjusted to increase or decrease detection if desired. Adjust the sensitivity as needed. If sensitivity is set too high it may cause false triggering.

TIME SETTING

Once Motion detection is confirmed, set the time you want the light to stay on after motion stops.

• Set MODE dial to 1M (minute) or 5M (minutes)

CAN THE LIGHTS STILL BE TURNED ON/OFF WITH A LIGHT SWITCH?
At night Lights can be turned on or off manually with a wall switch or circuit breaker in the Manual Override Mode.

MANUAL OVERRIDE

NOTE: MODE dial must be set at 1M or 5M to use manual override

To disable the motion sensor and keep the light continuously on for the night, flip the wall switch off for 5 seconds and then back on.

To reset to Security mode, flip the switch off again for 5 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.

SET DAYLIGHT SENSOR DIAL

Light Sensor:
senses amount of daylight and prevents lights from activating during the day.

Dial:
set dial to left position to activate with more light and set dial to right position to activate with less light

SET MOTION SENSOR DIAL

Motion Sensitivity:
set dial right to increase motion sensitivity

Time Setting:
TEST: installation mode
1M: one minute*
5M: five minutes®

“turns off after motion stops

5 Seconds OFF then…

..back on

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.

BRIGHTNESS LEVEL SETTING
Fixture is preset to full brightness indicated by the larger sun icon above the DIM dial. If lower brightness is desired set DIM dial to small sun icon.

SET BRIGHTNESS DIAL

LIGHT COLOR SETTING
Note: Light color is not adjustable for Accent light, the adjustment is only for lamp heads.

• Setdial to desired light color

SET LIGHT COLOR DIAL

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

1. Light switch is turned off.
2. Fuse is blown or circuit breaker is turned off.
3. Incorrect circuit wiring.
4. Motion is not detected.
5. Photo control 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. Turn MOTION sensor dial to higher sensitivity.
5. Test photo control function (cover daylight sensor, light should come on)

Lights come on during theday.|

1. Light fixture/Sensor may be located in a relatively dark location.
2. Motion Sensor is in TEST mode.

|

1. Fixture is operating normally under these conditions. Turn Daylight sensor dial to higher sensitivity.
2. Set MODE dial to M1 or M5 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.

| Reduce Motion sensitivity
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.
3. The sensor may be picking up motion due to gusty wind

|

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 turning 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.
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 in¼” increments.

Lights will not trigger with motion|

1. Sensitivity may be set too low.

|

1. Turn up sensitivity in small steps
