HOW IT WORKS
Your motion activated floodlight senses heat images from objects such as
people, large animals and automobile engines. When motion is detected, the
lights will automatically turn on. Once motion has stopped, the lights will
turn off after a preselected time delay. Your motion activated floodlight may
also be used as a standard floodlight.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using product, basic precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
• Heed all warnings, including below warnings AND those included on product.
• For outdoor use only.
• cULus LISTED for wet location.
• Disassembling your fixture will void the warranty.
WARNING:
- Read and follow these instructions.
- Total wattage of light bulbs connected to the motion detector cannot exceed 500 watts incandescent /tungsten/ halogen, or 50 Watts LED.
CAUTION:
-
Connect fixture to a 120 volt, 60 Hz power source. Any other connection voids the warranty.
-
Fixture should be installed by persons with experience in household wiring or by a qualified electrician. The electrical system, and the method of electrically connecting the fixture to it, must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local building codes.
-
For proper operation and protection against damage, the motion sensor head adjustment knobs must be facing the ground.
-
MINIMUM 90° C SUPPLY CONDUCTORS.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Under Part 15of the FCC Rules, any changes or modifications to the motion detector described in this instruction sheet that are not expressly approved by Eaton could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE : This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.
WARNING : FCC Regulations state that any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authorization to operate this equipment.
FOR BEST RESULTS
• Install your fixture 8-12 feet above the ground. (Motion sensor is less
sensitive above 12 feet.)
• Locate fixture so motion moves across detection zone (Fig. 1).
• Locate sensor away from heat producing sources to prevent false triggering.
Also be very careful not to include objects such as windows, white walls and
water in the detection zone.
• Locate sensor away from moving objects such as trees, large shrubs and
street traffic.
• Do not install more than one motion detector on one wall switch.
COMMON WALL AND EAVE MOUNTING APPLICATIONS
ASSEMBLING AND WIRING YOUR MOTION DETECTOR
WARNING : Risk of electric shock. Disconnect power at fuse or circuit breaker before installing or servicing.
- Turn off the power at the main fuse/breaker box.
- Screw motion sensor arm into the desired hole on junction box or light fixture cover plate. The hole, or fitting, must utilize standard ½” NPS threads to ensure a water-tight seal.
- If required, attach all lamp holders to the coverplate following the instructions provided with your light fixture (purchased separately).
- Using the wire nuts provided, make the following electrical connections, then wrapping and securing each connection with electrical tape:
- Connect all-white (neutral) wires together, from house side, fixture, and motion sensor.
- Connect black wire(s) from fixture to red wire (load) from motion sensor.
- Connect black wire from house side to black wire from motion sensor (Fig. 3).
- Attach fixture to the junction box according to instructions provided with your light fixture (purchased separately).
- Follow any and all other instructions provided with your light fixture to complete the hardware portion of this installation.
- Turn on power at main fuse/breaker box.
OPERATING YOUR FIXTURE
-
Set dial to “TEST” (Fig. 4).
-
Turn the arrow on the SENSITIVITY knob to a middle point between “+” and “–”.
-
Turn on the power to fixture. Allow fixture to warm up approximately 40 seconds before testing.
-
Aim sensor head toward desired detection area, maintaining a 5° down angle to allow moisture to drain.
NOTE : Maintain air spacing between lamps and sensor head, at least 2 in. Make sure sensor head is positioned with control switches facing towards the ground. -
Walk through the detection zone at the farthest distance you want your detector to detect motion.
-
Adjust the SENSITIVITY knob until you get desired results. For more range, aim sensor slightly upward. For less range, aim sensor head slightly downward. Lights will turn OFF 4 seconds after motion stops.
-
Set dial to desired time setting. The higher the time setting, the longer the lamps will be ON. (Maximum time is 12 minutes.)
NOTE : Decreasing the SENSITIVITY will decrease the distance the unit can detect.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Light does not come on with motion at night.| No power to the fixture.| • Check if circuit breaker tripped.
• Confirm wall switch is ON.
---|---|---
Bulb is faulty.| • Replace bulb.
Surrounding external ambient light is too bright. (If so, the unit may think
it is daytime.)| • Re-aim the head.
• Relocate or reposition the unit away from the light.
Wiring to the unit is loose.| TURN OFF POWER BEFORE CONTINUING
• Check wiring; reconnect if necessary using wire nuts (E) provided.
Light comes on for no apparent reason at night.| There is motion in the detection zone.| • Make sure the sensor is not picking up moving objects such as trees, traffic, etc.
TEST FOR YOURSELF.
• Cover the sensor lens with cardboard to prevent sensor from detecting motion. If the light stays off, something in the detection zone is triggering the sensor.
*If the light stays on with the sensor lens covered, contact customer service.
• Reduce sensitivity.
• Reposition the sensor.
Light stays on at night and does not turn off.| There is motion in the detection zone.| • Make sure the sensor is not picking up moving objects such as trees, traffic, etc.
• Reduce sensitivity.
• Reposition the sensor.
Unit is in Dusk-to-Dawn mode (if there is
no motion).
| • Turn the light switch to the OFF position for 40 seconds, and then turn
back to the ON position. This will send the unit back into the “Auto” mode.
Light continuously blinks on and off at night.| The light
given from the unit’s own lamp is affecting the motion sensor.| • Re-aim the
lamp.
• Reposition motion sensor.
---|---|---
Light is on during the day.| The controls on the bottom of the
motion sensor are in “TEST” mode.| • Change dial setting (not “TEST” mode).
The motion detector is shadowed.| • Reposition motion sensor.
Cannot activate Dusk-to-Dawn mode at night (override).|
Surrounding external ambient light is too bright. (If so, the unit may think
it is daytime.)| • Re-aim the head.
• Relocate or reposition the unit away from the light.
Not enough time is allowed to enter the Dusk-to-Dawn mode.| • Turn power OFF and ON twice within 3 seconds.
