• Tighten the lock nut (1) and screw (2) if necessary.

Wires from Junction Box

For parallel switching connection, refer to the connection diagram for proper installation.

• One or more motion sensor can be wired to multiple LED light fixtures, so all lights will turn on at the same time when motion is detected by one of the sensors. Total Wattage of all lights being used added together must not exceed 100W.
• Red wire from motion sensors should be attached to black wire from light fixtures.
• White wire from the house wiring, motion sensors and light fixtures should all be connected together and secured with a wire nut.
• Black wire from motion sensors should be connected to the black house wiring and secured with a wire nut.
• Turn both functional adjustment knobs of all the connected motion sensors to the same position to avoid abnormal behaviors.

Caulking Around the Light Fixture

• Replace the gasket for your light fixture, if the existing one is worn out or damaged.
• Caulk around the canopy (B) and the mounting surface with silicone sealant (not included).

Operation

1. Lamp Adjustment
   • Follow the instructions that came with your light fixture for mounting and adjusting the light fixture.
   • Keep regular lamps at least 1 in. (25 mm) from the sensor. Halogen lamps should be kept at least 2 in. (51 mm) from the sensor.
2. Sensor Head Adjustment
   • Rotate the motion sensor (A) so the controls face toward the ground.
   • The sensor can be tilted down 110°, as well as rotated 80° left and 80° right.
3. Sensor Arm Adjustment
   • If you are using bulbs or fixtures that interfere with the coverage of your 270° motion sensor coverage, you can extend the arm of the sensor lower, so it will be below most bulbs and fixtures.
   • If you are using another type of bulb or fixture that does not require the extended arm, you can retract the arm for a more compact look.
4. Testing and Adjusting the Motion Sensor
   • Turn on power and allow the motion sensor to warm up for about 60 seconds. Switch the knob to Test to go into TEST mode. Regardless of whether it is day or night, the lights will come on for approximately 2-3 seconds, every time the sensor detects motion.
   • NOTE: The motion sensor will need to completely warm up (60 seconds) before beginning the setup process.
   • Perform a “walk test” to adjust the sensor coverage area. Walk in an arc across the front of the motion sensor (A).
   • Watch the light. The light will come on indicating motion has been detected.
   • Stop, wait for the light to turn off, and then begin walking again.
   • Continue this process until the detection zone has been established.
   • Adjust the sensor up, down, or side to side to change the motion sensor (A) detection zone to your desired coverage area.
   • After completing the testing, switch the knob to your desired setting and the sensor is ready to go.
5. Control The Detection Range
   • To shorten the detection distance, tilt the sensor head downward.
6. Adjusting the HI/LO Light Level
   • HI level security lighting and LO level accent lighting.
   • OFF HI-LO feature is off. Works with motion sensor after dark at 100% brightness.
   • Dusk-to-dawn timer: Lights will come on automatically at dusk at approximately 25% brightness and stay on until dawn. Lights will come on at 100% brightness when motion is detected after dark. At dawn, the lights will shut off completely.
   • (Timer Mode): The “Seasonally Adjusted Timer” will turn on the lights at 25% brightness at dusk and then turn them off in the middle of the night hours. This is calculated automatically by the sensor. The lights will come on at 100% brightness when the sensor detects motion after dark.
   • NOTE: If the light or bulbs are not dimmable, the HI-LO function will automatically be turned off by the sensor, even if the knob is turned to one of the HI-LO settings. This replacement motion sensor may not be suitable for all light fixtures in the market, such as metal halide or high pressure sodium lights.
7. Adjust the Dusk Learn
   • If desired, you can set the level of darkness at which the sensor becomes active and at which the HI-LO feature comes on in the “LO” accent mode.
   • Press once: To learn the current level of darkness and set this as your new “Dusk” level. The lights will flash twice after 10 seconds to confirm that your new dusk level has been set.
   • Press twice within 5 seconds: Back to factory default setting 0~10 Lux. The lights will flash twice to indicate that the dusk level has been reset to the factory setting.
8. Adjusting the Time
   • TEST mode:
   • This will allow you to test the sensor and make any necessary adjustments to the coverage area that you want the sensor to see.
   • ECO mode:
   • The motion sensor lighting is set to minimize power usage. Lights turn on with motion for 10 seconds and continue to stay on as long as motion is detected. Lights will dim to warn that lights will be shutting off soon.
   • ON-TIME:
   • 1 min, 5 min, or 10 min. Lights stay for the time set, after motion is no longer detected.
9. Using Manual Override Mode
   • Manual mode overrides the motion sensor and “ON-TIME” control so the lights will operate in “ON” mode at full brightness. This feature only works at night for 6 hours.
   • The motion sensor will reset to motion sensing mode. Manual mode can be toggled on and off using a wall switch.
   • To manually turn the lights “ON”, turn the light switch OFF and back ON again between 0.2 seconds to 1.5 seconds.
   • To cancel the manual override mode, turn the light switch OFF and back ON again between 0.2 seconds to 1.5 seconds.
   • Turn the light switch Off and back On again within 0.2 to 1.5 seconds.
   • NOTE: If the power to the light fixture is off for more than 5 seconds, allow the motion sensor to warm up prior to switching to manual mode.
