SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

FOR BEST RESULTS

Install the motion sensor/transmitter 8-12 feet above the ground. (Motion sensor is less sensitive above 12 feet.)
Locate the motion sensor so motion moves across the detection zone (Fig. 1).
Locate the sensor away from heat-producing sources to prevent false triggering. Also be very careful not to include objects such as windows, white walls and water in the detection zone.
Locate the sensor away from moving objects such as trees, large shrubs and street traffic.
Do not install more than one motion-activated floodlight on one wall switch.

MOUNTING AND WIRING YOUR FIXTURE

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Disconnect power at fuse or circuit breaker before installing or servicing.

NOTE: The fixture can be wall or eave-mounted (Fig. 2).

NOTE: Coverplate mounts to recessed mounted standard junction boxes (Fig. 3). Junction box must be at least 1-1/2 inch in depth for proper installation for recessed mount application.

Line up the slotted holes on the mounting bracket (B) with the holes on your junction box. Using either (2) #6 screws or (2) #8 screws (D) (depending on size of the holes in your junction box), attach the mounting bracket (B) to your junction box (Fig. 4).
Connect house ground wire to mounting bracket ground wire using a wire nut (E) provided (Fig. 4).
Connect fixture black wire to house black wire, and fixture white wire to house white wire, using the wire nuts (E) provided (Fig. 5).
Level and secure the mounting bracket arm by tightening the rotation clamp screws and attach fixture (A) to the mounting bracket (B) using (2) decorative cap nuts (D). Be sure no loose wires remain sticking out from underneath the coverplate (Fig. 5).
Move the heads to aim light where desired.
Apply silicone caulk around the edge of the coverplate to provide a watertight seal from rain and moisture.
Turn on the power at the main fuse/breaker box.

OPERATING YOUR FIXTURE

For wall mount, rotate the motion sensor ball up or down to the desired detection pattern (Fig. 2A). For eave mount, extend the motion arm away from the coverplate and adjust to desired detection pattern (Fig. 2B).
Rotate the TIME knob on bottom of the sensor to “TEST” (Fig. 6).
Turn on the power to the fixture. Allow the fixture to warm up approximately 50 seconds before testing. (Lights will come on during the warm-up period.)
Aim the sensor head toward the desired detection area, maintaining a 5°–15° down angle to allow moisture to drain.
Walk across the detection zone at the farthest distance you wish your detector to detect motion.
Adjust sensitivity knob until you get desired results. Lights will turn off 4 seconds after all motion stops.
NOTE: For maximum range performance, allow the fixture to operate in any mode (with power to the unit) for at least 48 hours.
To set the ON time, rotate the knob arrow to point to the desired time setting within the TIME range (up to 12 minutes) (Fig. 7).

ADJUSTING THE COLOR TEMPERATURE (CCT)

This product features selectable white colour tuning. Choose between three preset light colours on the centre dial of the base housing before, during or after installation (fig. 8):
These settings are designated by the abbreviations located on the centre dial on the base housing(fig. 8):
- 3K = 3000K CCT, or soft white
- 4K = 4000K CCT, or neutral white [factory default]
- 5K = 5000K CCT, or daylight
Use a flathead or Phillips head screwdriver to rotate the dial so the arrow points toward the desired setting.
DO NOT USE a power tool or over-rotate the dial.

• Adjust the sensitivity knob.

• Re-aim the head.

• Relocate or reposition the unit away from the light.

TURN OFF THE POWER BEFORE CONTINUING

The wiring to the unit is loose.

• Check wiring; reconnect if necessary using wire nuts

(E) provided.

Light comes ON for no apparent reason at night.| There is motion in the detection zone.

• Make sure the sensor is not picking up moving objects such as trees, traffic, etc.

TEST FOR YOURSELF:

• Cover the sensor lens with cardboard to prevent sensor from detecting motion. If the light stays off, something in the detection zone is triggering the sensor.

If the light stays on with the sensor lens covered, contact customer service.

• Adjust the sensitivity knob.

• Reposition the sensor.

Light stays ON at There is motion in the detection zone.

night and does • Make sure the sensor is not picking up moving objects such as

not turn OFF. trees, traffic, etc.

• Adjust the sensitivity knob.

• Reposition the sensor.

If there is no motion in the detection zone, unit is in “Dusk to Dawn Setting” (override mode).

• Turn the light switch to the OFF position for 40 seconds, and then turn back to the ON position. This will send the unit back into the “Auto” mode.

Light continuously blinks ON and OFF at night.| The light given from the unit’s own lamp is affecting the motion sensor.

• Re-aim the lamp.

• Reposition motion sensor.

Light is ON during the day.| The controls on the bottom of the motion sensor are in “TEST” mode.

• Change dial setting (not “TEST” mode). The motion detector is shadowed.

• Reposition motion sensor.

Cannot activate Dusk to Dawn Setting at night (override mode).| Surrounding external ambient light is too bright. (If so, the unit may think it is daytime.)

• Re-aim the head.

• Relocate or reposition the unit away from the light.

Not enough time is allowed to enter the “Dusk to Dawn Setting.”

• Turn power OFF and ON twice within 3 seconds. There is more than one fixture on an indoor wall switch.

• If so, put them on separate switches.
