ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Important to Know

1. This fixture requires a 120 VAC, 60 Hz power source.
2. For general safety and to avoid any possible damage to the sensor, be sure the power is switched “off” before adjustment.
3. Motion sensor: turns light ON automatically when motion is detected and turns light down to lower level or OFF automatically when motion stops.
4. Photocell keeps the light OFF during daylight hours.

Note: Fixture can be wall mounted or eave mounted.

Light fixture and sensor should be mounted as shown above when installed (depending upon type of installation).

Before installing the light fixture under an eave, the sensor head must be rotated as shown in the next two steps for proper operation and to avoid the risk of electrical shock.

Turn off the power at fuse or circuit box.

1. Install the mounting strap (BB) to the outlet box with the stamped word ″FRONT″ facing away from the outlet box, using two mounting screws (AA) that best fit the outlet box (Choose one matching pair of suitable mounting screws (AA) from the 3 pairs provided).

2. Thread the fixture wires through gasket (GG), then attach the gasket (GG) into backplate (A)

3. Pull out the source wires from the outlet box. Make wire connections using wire connectors (CC) as follows:

   • Connect the black wire from the fixture to the “hot” wire from the power source.
   • Connect the white wire from the fixture to the neutral wire from the power source.
   • Connect the house ground wire and the fixture ground wire (green) using a wire connector (CC). Carefully tuck the wires back into the outlet box.

4. Place mounting bracket (A) against the outlet box, insert the mounting bracket screw (DD) through the mounting bracket hole, thread mounting bracket screw (DD) into the center hole of the mounting strap (BB). Tighten the mounting bracket screw (DD) securely.
    When mounting to a wall, the ″UP″ arrow must point upward.
    When mounting to an eave, the ″UP″ arrow must point toward the building.

5. Attach the backplate of the light fixture to the mounting bracket (A), secure it with the fixture mounting screw (EE). Then push the decorative cover (FF) firmly into the fixture mounting screw (EE) hole on the light fixture.

6. With silicone caulking compound, caulk completely around where the mounting bracket meets the wall surface.
   CAUTION: Be sure to caulk completely where the mounting bracket meets the wall surface to prevent water from seeping in the outlet box.

Adjusting the Sensor Head

1. a: Aim sensor head (C) toward desired detection area, maintaining a 5° – 40° downward angle to allow moisture to drain.
   Note: Make sure sensor head is positioned with control knob facing towards the ground.
   b: You can rotate the sensor head up and down to change the coverage area. (See Fig.1)
   

2. Note: Range set too high may increase false triggering. (See Fig.2, Fig.3)

Adjusting the Light Head

1. Gently grasp the light heads (B) and tilt them up or down, left or right to adjust the light coverage area.
   Keep the light heads (B) at least 1” (25mm) away from the sensor. (See Fig. 4)

2. Keep the light heads (B) 30˚ below horizontal to avoid water damage and electrical shock.

FUNCTION AND OPERATION

Sensitivity of Motion Sensor:

1. You can adjust the sensitivity of the motion sensor by using the “SENS” selector located on the bottom surface of the sensor. (See Fig.5)

2. Adjust motion sensor sensitivity to HIGH (H), MEDIUM (M), or LOW (L) to achieve desired performance.

3. Approximate range for each setting: 30 ft. (L), 50 ft. (M), 70 ft. (H)

Choose a mode by sliding the switch on the bottom of the sensor. (See Fig.5)

Choose a mode by sliding the switch on the bottom of the sensor. (See Fig.5)

Note: When power is first applied, the light will turn on to 100% brightness. The sensor will take 15 seconds to warm up.

1. TEST MODE (daytime and nighttime operation.)

   • Slide the Time switch to the “Test” position.
   • The light turns to high-level brightness when motion is detected, and stays on as long as the motion continues.
     Then it reverts back to low-level brightness as per setting about 5 seconds after motion is no longer detected.

2. OFF MODE (nighttime operation only)

   • In “OFF” mode, slide the “TIME” switch to the desired time (30s/1min/3min). At dusk, the light stays off, the light turns to high-level brightness when motion is detected, and stays on as long as motion continues.
     When the motion is no longer detected, it remains on for the predetermined shut-off delay time you set (30s/1min/3min), and then turns off automatically.

   • The light turns off automatically at dawn.

3. AUTO MODE (nighttime operation only)

   • To “AUTO” mode, slide the “TIME” switch to the desired time setting (30s/1min/3min). At dusk, the light turns on to low-level brightness. When motion is detected, the light turns to high-level brightness and stays on as long as motion continues. When the motion is no longer detected, the light at high-level brightness remains on for the predetermined time you set (30s/1min/3min), then switches back to low-level brightness automatically.
   • The light turns off automatically at dawn.

4. PC MODE (nighttime operation only)

   • In “PC” mode, the light will turn on at full brightness at dusk and remains on until dawn .

5. CUSTOM MODE (nighttime operation only):

   • In “CUSTOM” mode, the light turns on full brightness at dusk and off at dawn automatically.
   • Set motion sensor operation to go on at a specific time. Turn the wall switch “OFF”, and turn it “ON” twice within 3 seconds. The light will go into motion-sensor operation at the specified time every night. The light turns off automatically at dawn.
     For example, a homeowner wants to have the light stay on high-level brightness from dusk to 8pm, and would like the light to go into “AUTO” motion sensor mode. To achieve this, the light homeowner will turn the wall switch “OFF”, and turns it “ON” twice within 3 seconds. This sets the time the light goes into “AUTO” mode every day, the light will behave the same way. To revert back to Default, turn the wall switch “OFF” and then turn it “ON” after 5 seconds.
     When light units are linked, the Set motion sensor operation to go at a specific time is also linked when MODE settings are in Custom.

6. RF Linking Network Setup

   • The light turns off automatically at dawn.
     From all the light units, select one as the main unit and the others as the sub-units; First to setup all the sub-units, press the Sync button twice within 3 seconds, the sub-units will flash once every 1 second meaning it’s waiting to receive a matching signal from the main light.
     Then to setup the main unit, press and hold the Sync button for 5 seconds, the main unit will flash slowly (once every 3 seconds), and when the sub-units have paired with the signal, the sub-units will stop flashing confirming they have paired with the main unit. (If pairing is not successful, the sub-unit will keep flashing).
     When all the sub-units have stopped flashing, press the Sync button on the main unit once to complete the pairing process. (The main unit will stop flashing.)
     After completing the pairing process, any light within the Link group range can send of receive the photo sensor or motion sensor signal from the other light and response accordingly.
     Note: Maximum link up to 10 units per link group, each light can link within 120ft apart.
     RF Linking
     

   • a. Photo Sensor Linking
     When the Photo Sensor detects that the ambient brightness is less than the LUX set value.

   • In “Auto” mode, the light turns on to Low-Level brightness and send out a comprehensive signal.

     1. Linking other lamps set in “Auto” mode to enter Low-Level brightness.
     2. Linking other lamps set in “PC” or “Custom” mode to enter High-Level brightness.
     3. Linking other lamps set in “OFF” mode to enter stays off.

   • In “PC” or “Custom” mode, the light turns on to High level brightness and send out a comprehensive signal.

     1. Linking other lamps set in “Auto” mode to enter Low-Level brightness .
     2. Linking other lamps set in “PC” or “Custom” mode to enter High-Level brightness .
     3. Linking other lamps set in “OFF” mode to enter stays off.

   • In “OFF” mode, the light turns on to Low-Level brightness and send out a comprehensive signal.

     1. Linking other lamps set in “Auto” mode to enter Low-Level brightness.
     2. Linking other lamps set in “PC” or “Custom” mode to enter High-Level brightness.
     3. Linking other lamps set in “OFF” mode to enter stays off.
        When the Photo Sensor detects that the ambient brightness is greater than the LUX set value,

   • A comprehensive signal from the initial detector unit will inform all the Linking lamps to turn off automatically.

   • b. Motion Detect Linking When the Motion Sensor detects

   • In “Auto” or “OFF” mode, the lamp sends out a comprehensive signal to all the linked lamps to automatically switch to High-Level brightness and remains on for the predetermined time you set (30s/1min/3min).

   • In “Custom” mode,

     1. During the start of “Custom” mode, the lamp will remain on High-Level brightness and turn off the motion sensor the custom set time is up.
     2. Once the “Custom” set time is up, the lamp will turn on motion sensor and switch to “Auto” mode where the lamp sends out a comprehensive signal to all the linked lamps to automatically switch to High-Level brightness and remains on for the predetermined time you set (30s/1min/3min).

7. Manual Override (nighttime operation only)

   • To temporarily override the settings in “OFF” or “AUTO” mode for on-demand continuous high-level brightness at night, turn the wall switch “OFF” then turn it “ON” twice within 3 seconds, the light remains on all night long.
     To shift back to “OFF” or “AUTO” or “3H” mode, turn the wall switch “OFF” then turn it “ON” twice within 3 seconds again. (See Fig.7)

Customization Options:

Shut-off Delay

• The shut-off delay is the length of time the light will stay at brightness after motion is detected.
• You can set the shut-off delay by pushing the switch so that it points to the desired time setting (30s/1min/3min). (See Fig.5).

Where you install your fixture is important:

Be sure the light is mounted straight on the wall or eave; otherwise, the detection distance may be limited.

Notes

1. The sensitivity of the motion sensor will increase as the environmental temperature gets cooler. For best performance, gently clean the lens with a soft cloth every 1 or 2 months to ensure maximum sensitivity.

2. For best performance, install fixture at least 8 feet above the ground. At such a height, the fixture will provide a detection distance of up to 70 feet at 77 degrees Fahrenheit. (See Fig.8)

3. The sensor detects movement across a detection range of 240 degrees. (See Fig.9)

4. The sensor will be more sensitive to motion across its detection path than motion directly towards it. (See Fig.10)

5. To reduce possible nuisances, do not mount the fixture near a heat source like an air conditioner, vent or furnace exhaust, or in a direction facing any reflective object or other nearby light source.
