  • Auto Mode: sensor activates and all previously selected settings remain programmed
  • RESET: overrides selectedsettings; reverts to DIP settings
  • Dim buttons: + dims up and – dims down, adjusting lamp brightness
  • Black Button: no function
  • Test 2s: automatic test mode with 2 second time delay; disables cut off period and daylight sensor un-do automatic test mode by selecting either RESET, any Scene mode button, or hold time
  • Power 100% & Power 80%: adjusts power output; to save energy select Power 80%. Must return to full output after initial 10,000 hours of LEDs by pressing Power 100%.

Group B:

  • Yellow Sun Button: Ambient Daylight Threshold; records surrounding lux level and overwrites previously recorded value
  • .2, 1 and 5 fc: sets daylight sensor at respective ambient light values
  • Disable: disables daylight sensor; any motion registered by sensor activates fixture light SC1, SC2, SC3, SC4: assigns one of 4 pre-set scenes; see “Operation” on pg 2 for scene descriptions
  • Detection Range Button Group: assigns detection range of 10, 50 or 100%; use coverage diagrams on pg 2 for guidance.
  • To limit area in which motion will set off sensor, use a smaller percent. The sensor will not detect motion outside of 100% and the fixture will not light.
  • Time Delay Button Group: assigns hold time of 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or 30 minutes
  • Cut Off Button Group: assigns cut off period of 0 seconds, 10 seconds, 1 minute, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour. 0 seconds gives fixture on/off control rather than dimming. + ∞ keeps the light on always (if daylight sensor is disabled) with Bi-Level dimming control.
  • Dim Level: assigns level of 10, 20, or 30% for dimmed light output after time delay passes

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the sensor does not detect motion as expected:

  • Check fixture mounting to compare fixture location and sensor coverage with the coverage diagrams on pg 2
  • Adjust fixture location as necessary Fixture will not light/sensor does not detect motion:
  • Make sure the ON/OFF button was not selected as this results in disabling the sensor
  • Check all settings to be sure there is no conflicting selection with the ambient light level Fixture and sensor are too active:
    • Check detection area setting and reduce coverage as needed
    • Increase time delay and/or adjust cut-off period.
