Motion Sensing Halogen Fixture
Mode: Model SL-5525

Features

  • Turns on lighting when motion is detected.
  • Automatically turns lighting off.
  • Photocell keeps the lighting off during daylight hours
  • LED indicates motion was sensed (day or night).
    This package includes:

Requirements

  • The light control requires 120-volts AC.
  • If you want to use Manual Mode, the control must be wired through a switch.
  • Some codes require installation by a qualified electrician.
  • This product is intended for use with the enclosed gasket and with a junction box marked for use in wet locations.

OPERATION

Mode: On-Time Works: Day Night
Test 5 Seconds                      x         x
Auto 1, 5, or 10 Min x
Manual Until Dawn* x
  • resets to Auto Mode at dawn.
    Note: When first turned on wait about 1 1/2 minutes for the circuitry to calibrate.

TEST

Put the ON-TIME switch on the bottom of the sensor in the TEST position.|
---|---

AUTO

Put the ON-TIME switch in the 1, 5, or 10 minute position.|
---|---

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 position.|

Mode Switch Summary

| Move ON-TIME Switch to 1, 5, or 10 minutes
Flip 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.

INSTALLATION

For easy installation, select an existing light with a wall switch for replacement.
For best performance, mount the fixture about 8 ft. (2.4 m) above the ground.

CAUTION: To Avoid Fire Or Burn Hazards:

  • Allow fixture to cool before touching. The bulb and the fixture operate at high temperatures.
  • Keep fixture at least 1″ (2.5 cm) from combustible materials. Do to aim at objects closer than 3 ft. (1 m).
  • Use only T3, 250W (max.) tungsten-halogen 120 VAC lamps.

❒ Note the position of the various parts of the fixture for the type of installation for your application and adjust the lamp head and sensor as shown below.

For under eave installation, the sensor head must be rotated as shown in the next two steps for proper operation and to avoid the risk of electrical shock. Also for proper under eave operation, remove the protective backing from the light shield and stick on as shown below.

For eave mount only:

❒ Swing the sensor head towards the clamp screw joint.
❒ Then rotate the sensor head clockwise 180° so the controls face down.
If the sensor pops out of the ball joint, loosen the clamp screw and push the sensor back into the ball joint. Tighten the clamp screw when done.

BULB INSTALLATION

❒ When relamping, turn power off and let the fixture cool.
❒ Remove glass cover and remove the old bulb by pushing the bulb towards the socket indicated on the metal reflector.
❒ To insert the new bulb, follow the instructions printed on the metal reflector.
❒ Check that the bulb is seated properly.
❒ Reinstall the glass cover.

WIRE THE LIgHT CONTROL

❒ Turn the power to the lighting circuit off at the fuse or circuit breaker box.
❒ Remove the existing light fixture.
❒ Install mounting strap to junction box using screws appropriate for your junction box.
❒ The plastic hanger can be used to hold the fixture  while wiring. The small end of the plastic hanger can be threaded through the hole in the center of the cover plate. The small end then goes into one of the slots on the mounting strap.
❒ Thread all fixture wires through the large holes in the gasket as shown.
❒ Connect the junction box wires to the light fixture wires as shown. Twist together and secure with wire connectors.

MOUNT THE LIgHT CONTROL

❒ Align the light control cover plate and cover plate gasket. Secure with the mounting bolt.
❒ Push the rubber plug firmly into place.
❒ If a wet location junction box was not used, caulk the wall plate mounting surface with silicone weather sealant.

TEST AND ADJUSTMENT

❒ Turn on the circuit breaker and light switch.
NOTE: Sensor has about 11/2 minutes warm up period before it will detect motion. When first turned on, wait about 1 1/2 minutes.
❒ Turn the RANGE control to the mid position and the ON-TIME control to the TEST position.

  • 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 light may trigger the shut- off feature. Do not point other lights at the sensor.
The detector is most sensitive to motion across its field of view.
❒ Loosen the clamp screw in the sensor ball joint and gently rotate the sensor.
❒ Walk through the coverage area noting where you are when the lights turn on (also, the LED will flash several times when motion is detected). Move the sensor head up, down, or sideways to change the coverage area. Keep the sensor at least 1″ (2.5 cm) away from the lamp.
❒ Adjust the RANGE as needed. RANGE set too high may increase false triggering.
❒ Secure the sensor head by tightening the clamp screw. Do not overtighten the screw.
❒ Set the amount of TIME you want the lights to stay on after motion is detected (1, 5, or 10 minutes).

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

SYMPTOM POSSIBLE
Light will not come on. 1. Light switch is turned off.

2. Bulb is loose or burned out.
3. Fuse is blown or circuit breaker is turned off.
4. Daylight turn-off is in effect (recheck after dark).
5. Incorrect circuit wiring, if this is a new installation.
6. Re-aim the sensor to cover desired area.
Light comes on
in daylight.| 1. Light control may be installed in a relatively dark location.
2. Light control is in test. (Set control switch to an ON-TIME position.)
Light comes on for no apparent
reason.| 1. Light control may be sensing small animals or automobile traffic (re-aim sensor).
2. Sensitivity is set too high. (Reduce sensitivity.)
Light comes on for no apparent
reason.| 1. Light control may be sensing small animals or automobile traffic (re-aim sensor).
2. Sensitivity is set too high. (Reduce sensitivity.)
Lights flash once, then stay
off in Manual Mode.| 1. Sensor is detecting its own light. (Reposition lamp to keep area below the sensor relatively dark.)
Light stays on continuously.| 1. The lamp is positioned too close to the sensor or pointed at nearby objects that cause heat to trigger the sensor. (Reposition the lamp away from the sensor or nearby objects.)
2. Sensor is pointed toward a heat source like an air vent, dryer vent, or brightly-painted heat-reflective
surface. (Reposition sensor.)
3. Control is in Manual Mode. (Set to Auto.)
Light flashes on and off.| 1. Heat or light from the lamp may be turning the light control on and off. (Reposition the lamp away from the sensor.)
2. Heat being reflected from other objects may be affecting the sensor. (Reposition sensor.)
3. Light control is in the Test mode and warming up. (Flashing is normal under these conditions).
4. If eave installation, light shield not installed properly. (Install light shield according to instructions.)
