  • Automatically turns lighting off.
  • Photocell keeps the lighting off during daylight hours.
  • LED indicates motion was sensed (day or night).

This package includes:HeathZenith-SL-5412-Motion-Sensor-Light-
Control-1 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 Minutes x
Manual To 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 positions.

Mode Switching Summary

Control-5

  • 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. HeathZenith-SL-5412-Motion-Sensor-Light-
Control-6
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.
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.

WIRE THE LIGHT CONTROL

WARNING: Turn power off at the fuse or circuit breaker.

  • Remove the existing light fixture.
  •  Install the mounting strap as shown using two screws that fit 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.
  • Route the light control’s wires through the large gasket holes.
  • Twist the junction box wires and fixture wires together as shown. Secure with wire connectors. HeathZenith-SL-5412-Motion-Sensor-Light-Control-9

MOUNT THE LIGHT CONTROL

  • Align the light control cover plate and cover plate gasket. Secure with the mounting bolt.
  • Align the three slots in the decorative shell with the lamp holder pins. Push the shell in and then twist clockwise to lock. Repeat for other shells. HeathZenith-SL-5412-Motion-Sensor-Light-Control-10
  • 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. HeathZenith-SL-5412-Motion-Sensor-Light-Control-11
  • Adjust the lamp holders by loosening the lock nuts but do not rotate the lamp holders more than 180°from the factory setting. When screwing in the floodlamps, do not overtighten.

TEST AND ADJUSTMENT

  • Turn on the circuit breaker and light switch.
    NOTE: Sensor has a 1 1/2 minute warm-up period before it will detect motion. When first turned on, wait 1 1/2 minutes.

  • Turn the RANGE control to the mid position and the ON-TIME control to the TEST position. HeathZenith-SL-5412-Motion-Sensor-Light-Control-12

  • 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. HeathZenith-SL-5412-Motion-Sensor-Light-Control-13
    The detector is most sensitive to motion across its field of view. HeathZenith-SL-5412-Motion-Sensor-Light-Control-14

  • 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 lamps.

  •  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).
    WARNING: Risk of fire. Do not aim the lamps at a combustible surface within 3 ft. (1 m).

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

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

2.  Flood l i ght i s l oose or burned out.

3.  Fuse is blown or circuit breaker is turned off.

4.  Daylight turn-off is in effect (re- check after dark).

5.  Incorrect circuit wiring, if this is a new installation.

6.  Re-aim the sensor to cover de- sired area.

Lights come 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).

Lights come on for no apparent reason.| 1.  Light control may be sensing small animals or automobile traf- fic (re-aim sensor).

2.  R a n g e i s s e t t o o h i g h .

(Reduce Range).

SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE
Lights stay on continuously. 1.  A flood 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. Light control is pointed toward a heat source like an air vent, dryer vent, or brightly-painted heat-reflective sur- face. (Reposition sensor).

3. Light control is in Manual Mode. (Switch to Auto.)

Lights flash on and off.| 1.  Heat or light from the lamps may be turning the light control on and off. (Reposition the lamps away from the sensor).

2.  Heat being reflected from other objects may be affecting the sensor. (Reposi- tion sensor).

3.  Light control is in the Test mode and warming up. (Flashing is normal under these conditions).

4. Light may be leaking through the floodlamp reflectors. (Make sure the metal lamp protectors are installed.)
