Tools Required for Assembly (not included): Flathead screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, Pliers, Wire cutters, Electrical tape, Safety goggles, Step ladder and Silicone caulking.
Helpful Tools (not included): Wire stripper, Level.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Note: Before mounting the fixture, refer to Selecting a Location on page 8.

CAUTION

• For the best performance, mount the fixture about 6.5 feet above the ground.
• The lamp fixture is designed to be mounted so the motion detector controls face toward the ground. If the lamp fixture is mounted in any other position, it may be possible for water to enter the unit and cause damage to the unit and cause possible electric shock.

1. Turn off the power and remove existing fixture.
   

2. Unscrew the cap nuts (B) and remove washers (C). Save for later use. Separate the crossbar (A) from wall plate of fixture (D).
   

3. Attach the mounting plate (A) to outlet box (not included) using outlet box screws (AA)
   

4. Screw nipple (I) to fixture (D).
   Attach cover (H) over nipple (I), then secure with finial (G).
   

5. Remove ball nuts (E) from fixture (D) and detach cage (F).
   Install light bulb (not included).
   Use 100-watt max. standard-base incandescent bulb or CFL/LED equivalent.
   
   Note: The life of the bulb is affected by the frequent on/off of the fixture.
   Then, re-attach cage (F) to fixture (D) with the ball nuts (E).

6. Strip 3/4 in. of insulation from fixture wire ends. Twist stripped ends together with pliers (not included), black to black (power), white to white (neutral). Snip ends.
   Wrap the ground wire from the outlet box around the green screw preassembled on the mounting plate (A), and then connect the ground wire from the outlet box to the ground wire from the fixture. Helpful hint: If the outlet box doesn’t have a ground wire, you can attach the ground wire from the fixture directly to the green screw on the mounting plate (A).
   

7. Attach wire connectors (BB) to connections with electrical tape (not included).
   

8. Place fixture (D) onto the preassembled mounting screws.
   Attach washer (C), and secure with previously removed cap nuts (B).
   

9. Use silicone caulk (not included) to seal between wall plate and wall.
   CAUTION: Leave bottom unsealed so moisture can drain out.
   Note: The wall switch must remain in the ON position for the motion detector to operate properly.
   

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Getting Started

After installing the fixture, slide the “TIMER” switch (located on the bottom right of the backplate on fixture (D)) to “TEST”. Restore power at the circuit breaker and turn on your wall switch. The light will turn on and remain on for approximately 20 seconds. Then the light will flash 3 times and turn off.

Note: In TEST mode, the motion sensor will turn on the light when it senses movement. Four to five seconds after movement has stopped, the light will turn off.

In TEST mode, slide the “SENSITIVITY” switch (located on the bottom left of the backplate on fixture (D)) to a desired lever: “L” for low, “M” for medium, or “H” for high. From a distance, walk through the coverage area. When the light turns on, note your distance from the fixture. Try different approaches toward the fixture from various angles. Try pathways where you expect high traffic, such as walkways and driveways.

If necessary, select a different “SENSITIVITY” switch position to increase or decrease sensitivity/range. Repeat the steps above. Continue to adjust the sensitivity until optimum results are attained.

Selecting Function

After setting the sensitivity, select the function by sliding the “TIMER” switch to one of the following positions:

Mode). Any movement within the coverage area will cause the light to turn on. After movement has stopped, the light will remain on for the preset time limit (4 or 10 minutes). At the time limit, the light will turn off. The motion sensor will remain active throughout the night. At dawn, the motion sensor will deactivate.
10
Dusk-to-Dawn| Dusk-to-Dawn|

• At dusk, the light will turn on. The light will remain on throughout the night until dawn.
• At dawn, the light will turn off. The light will remain off throughout the day until dusk.

Selecting A Location

• When selecting a location, be aware of the motion sensor’s maximum range of 30 ft. and 220° detection angle (Fig.1). In addition, be aware of its 15º detection down-angle (Fig.2). Mounting the fixture too high or in front of a sloped surface, such as an uphill walkway or driveway, may affect the motion sensor’s effectiveness.
  
  

• Select locations away from heat sources, such as heating vents, air conditioners, and heated swimming pools.

• When selecting a location, be aware of the motion sensor is more sensitive to movement across its coverage area and less sensitive to movement toward or away from the motion sensor (Fig.3).
  

• Select locations away from nighttime light sources, such as street lamps or other light fixtures. They may shine light onto the fixture’s photocell sensor (located inside motion detecting lens, Fig.4). This light might cause the circuit to “think” that it is daytime and disable the light to turn on at the presence of motion detected.
  

• Be aware that shade from a porch or an eave may not allow enough daylight to shine onto the photocell sensor and may cause the circuit to “think” that it is nighttime, and subsequently cause the light to come on during the daytime.

• Be aware that motorized equipment, such as power tools, on the same electrical circuit may cause oscillations on the electrical line that might cause the fixture to malfunction.

Manual Overrid

• You may manually turn on the light from inside your home using the wall switch that controls your light fixture. This feature may be used during nighttime when the light is off, while the circuit is in the Motion Sensing Mode.
• To manually turn on the light and activate the Manual Override, quickly flip you wall switch OFF-ON-OFF-ON within 3 second span. The light will remain on until the override is deactivated.
• To turn off the light and deactivate the Manual Override, flip your wall switch OFF-ON-OFF-ON again. This will return the circuit back to the Motion Sensing Mode.
  Note: If you do not deactivate the Manual Override, the light will remain on for 8 hours or until dawn, at which time the light will turn off automatically. You may toggle the switch in this manner as many times as you need, to alternate between the two modes, Manual Override Mode (light on) and Motion Sensing Mode (light off).
  

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The motion detecting lens is coated with a specially painted finish and requires special care when cleaning; use only a soft dry cloth to dust or wipe the lens area.
