INSTALLATION
WARNING: Turn power off at circuit breaker or fuse.
For best performance, mount the fixture about 6 feet (1.8 m) above the ground.
- Remove two decorative nuts.
- Remove the mounting plate.
- Tighten mounting screws finger tight.
- Set sensitivity control on the back of the fixture to mid-position.
- Attach mounting plate to a junction box.

Note: We recommend having an assistant help hold the lantern assembly
during the wiring process.
This fixture comes with a universal mounting bracket. It is pre-assembled on
the fixture to fit the majority of junction box applications. However, if the
slots on the mounting plate do not line up with the junction box screw holes:
-
Remove the fixture mounting screws from the mounting plate. Note: Do not remove the ground screw.
-
Attach ground wire “pigtail” to ground screw on mounting plate (See Recommended Grounding Method for additional information).
-
Flip the mounting plate over.
-
Rotate the mounting plate so the wire path is on the upper right.
Note: The wire path on the mounting plate must be located as shown below to allow the wires on the back of the fixture to pass through. -
Reinstall the fixture mounting screws and attach the mounting plate to the junction box as shown.
WIRING
WARNING: Turn power off at circuit breaker or fuse.
Note: All wiring must be run in accordance with the National Electrical
Code through conduit or another acceptable means. Contact a qualified
electrician if there is any question as to the suitability of the system.
**CAUTION:** DO NOT connect the RED wire unless you want to control other
lights from the motion sensor (see Optional Wiring).
Connect the fixture wires to the wires in the junction box. Twist the wires together and secure with wire connectors.
Recommended Grounding Method
Use a green ground “pigtail” (not provided) and twist one end together with
the bare fixture wire and the box ground wire. Secure with a wire connector.
Secure the other end of the “pigtail” with the GND screw on the mounting
plate.
If you have a metal junction box, you may not need the green “pigtail”. If you are unsure about the grounding method, consult your local building code.
OPTIONAL WIRING
This fixture is provided with a sensor rated for 360 Watts. Since the fixture
is only rated 100 Watts, 260 Watts of additional lighting may be controlled by
this sensor. When determining what a fixture is rated for, do not simply look
at the rating on the light bulb in the fixture. Look at the marking which
specifies the maximum bulb wattage for which the fixture is suitable. Once you
have selected the fixtures to be connected and determined their maximum
ratings, add these ratings up. For instance, if you have 3 fixtures rated 100
Watts, 150 Watts, and 75 Watts respectively, you have a total load of 325
Watts.
Wiring Diagram 1 – When wiring to control a standard light fixture: Strip
the motion sensor’s red wire and connect to the standard light’s black wire.
Connect all white wires together. Total fixture ratings must not exceed 360
Watts (3.0 A).
Wiring Diagram 2 – When wiring to control another motion sensing light
fixture (Master / Slave) : Strip the red wire in both light fixtures.
Connect the red wire of the controlling (master) fixture to the red and black
wires of the controlled (slave) fixture. Connect all white wires together.
Total fixture ratings must not exceed 360 Watts (3.0 A).
Wiring Diagram 3 – When wiring so either motion light turns on both motion
lights (Master / Master) : Strip the red wire in both light fixtures.
Connect the red wire of one fixture to the red wire of the second fixture.
Note: In most installations, an additional wire (same gauge as the
existing house wire) will have to be installed in the house to connect the two
fixtures as master/master. Connect all white wires together and all black
wires together. Total fixture ratings must not exceed 360 Watts (3.0 A).
FINAL ASSEMBLY
-
Push the wires into the junction box. Make sure the wires from the fixture go through the wire path and no wires get pinched.
-
Slide the fixture assembly onto the mounting screws. Tighten decorative nuts removed in step 1 of the Installation section securely against the fixture base.
-
Install one medium-base light bulb (100 Watt maximum).
-
Caulk around fixture base with silicone weather sealant after all
Testing and Adjustments are complete.
TESTING AND ADJUSTMENTS
-
Turn on the circuit breaker and light switch.
Note: The sensor has an 1½ minute warm-up period before it will detect motion. When first turned on wait 1 ½ minutes. -
Set:
• ON-TIME switch to TEST
• DualBrite® switch to OFF
• SENSITIVITY dial to Midway -
Walk through the coverage area noting where you are when the lights turn on. In TEST mode, the light will stay on for 5 seconds after sensing motion and then turn off.
-
Move the sensor head left or right to change the coverage area. Note: Grasp the sensor only as shown and turn the entire sensor. Any other method may damage the sensor. Do not force it past the stops.
-
Adjust the SENSITIVITY to increase or decrease the range as needed. Too much sensitivity may cause false triggering due to heat sources in the coverage area (see Adjustment of Coverage Area or troubleshooting section).
-
Set the amount of ON-TIME you want the light to stay on after motion is detected (1, 5, or 10 minutes).
-
Set the DualBrite® switch to off, 3 hours, 6 hours, or dusk-to-dawn.
The sensor is less sensitive to motion directly towards it and more sensitive
to motion across the coverage area.
OPERATION
Mode: | On-Time | Works: Day Night |
---|---|---|
Test | 5 Seconds | x x |
Auto | 1, 5, or 10 | |
Minutes | x | |
Accent | 3, 6 Hour, | |
To Dawn | x | |
Manual | To Dawn* | x |
- resets to Auto Mode at dawn.
Note: When first turned on wait about 1½ minutes for the circuitry to calibrate.
MANUAL MODE
Manual mode only works at night because daylight returns the sensor to AUTO.
Flip the light switch off for one second then back on to toggle between AUTO
and MANUAL MODE.
Manual mode works only with the ON-TIME switch in the 1, 5, or 10 positions.
MODE SWITCHING SUMMARY
-
If you get confused while switching modes, turn the power off for one minute, then back on. After the calibration time, the control will be in the AUTO
mode.
DUALBRITE® Dimmer Control
Light comes on half-bright for a selected time after dusk (Off, 3 hr., 6 hr., until dawn). Selecting OFF disables this feature. The motion-sensing features will continue to work as described in this manual.
If the motion is sensed, the light turns on full bright for the ON-TIME (1, 5, or 10 minutes) and then returns to dim mode.
ADJUSTMENT OF COVERAGE AREA
The sensor on this light fixture detects “motion” by the movement of heat across the coverage area. However, the following are examples of objects that also produce heat and can cause the sensor to trigger:- Pools of Water
- Dryer Vents
- Heating Vents
- Air Conditioners
- Animals
- Automobile Traffic
If you suspect that a heat source of this type is triggering the sensor, reduce the sensitivity.
