Mode Switching Summary

**ON-TIME Switch at 1, 5, or 10 minutes Flip the light switch off for one second then back on***

• 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.

INSTALLATION

For best performance, mount the fixture about 6 feet (1.8 m) above the ground.
WARNING: Turn the power off at the circuit breaker or fuse.

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:

1. Remove the fixture mounting screws from the mounting plate. Note: Do not remove the ground screw.

2. Attach ground wire “pigtail” to ground screw on mounting plate (See Recommended Grounding Method for additional information).

3. Flip the mounting plate over.

4. 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.

5. Reinstall the fixture mounting screws and attach the mounting plate to the junction box as shown.

WIRING
Note: All wiring should 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.

Twist the junction box wires and the fixture wires together as shown below. Secure with wire connectors. 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.
Connect the fixture wires to the wires in the junction box. Twist the wires together and secure them 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.

OPTIONAL WIRING

This fixture is provided with a sensor rated for 360 Watts. Since the fixture is only rated 100 Watts (60 Watts for 4131 model and 180 Watts candelabra), 260 Watts (300 Watts for 4131 model and 180 Watts candelabra) 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).

COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION

1. Stuff the wires into the junction box. Make sure the wires from the fixture go through the wire path, and no wires get pinched.
2. Caulk fixture mounting surface with silicone weather sealant. You may want to wait until you have completed the tests and adjustments on page 6.
3. Install light bulb. See fixture markings for proper bulb type and wattage.
4. If so equipped, install the fixture top. Secure with decorative screws.
5. If you will not be installing the optional tail assembly, install the decorative nut onto the bottom of the fixture now.

Optional Assembly

If so equipped, you may install the decorative tail as shown below.

TESTING

• Turn on the circuit breaker and light switch.
  Note: The sensor has a 1 1/2 minute warm-up period before it will detect motion. When first turned on, wait 1 1/2 minutes.
  Note: Meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines when DUALBRITE® function is off.

• Switch the on-time to TEST position and DUALBRITE® switch to the OFF position.
  Avoid aiming the control at:
  Pools of water or objects that change temperature rapidly, such as heating vents and air conditioners. These heat sources could cause false triggering.
  • Areas where pets or traffic may trigger the control.
  • Nearby large, light-colored objects reflecting daylight may trigger the shut-off feature. Do not point other lights at the sensor.
  The detector is less sensitive to motion directly towards it and more sensitive to across motion.

• Walk through the coverage area noting where you are when the lights turn on. Move the sensor head left or right to change the coverage area. IMPORTANT: Grasp the sensor only as shown and turn the entire sensor. Any other method may damage the sensor. Do not force the sensor past the stopping points.
  Rotating Sensor Head to Change Coverage Area

• If you need to change the sensitivity, temporarily remove the fixture and make the adjustment. Too much sensitivity may increase false triggering.

• Set the amount of TIME you want the light to stay on after motion is detected. (1, 5, or 10 minutes).

• Set the amount of time after dusk you want the lights on accent level.
