Troubleshooting (continued)
Problem
The lights stay on continuously.
The lights flash on and off.
The lights flash once then stay
off in manual mode.
Possible Cause
A bulb is positioned too close to the
motion sensor or pointed at nearby
objects that cause heat to trigger the
motion sensor.
The motion sensor may be picking up
a heat source like an air vent, dryer
vent, or brightly painted, heat-reflective
surface.
The motion sensor is in manual mode.
The motion sensor is wired through a
dimmer or timer.
The motion sensor is on the same
circuit as a motor, transformer, or
fluorescent bulb.
Heat or light from the bulbs may be
turning the motion sensor on and off.
Heat is being reflected from other
objects and may be turning the motion
sensor on and off.
The motion sensor is in "TEST" mode
and warming up.
Light may be leaking through the bulb
reflectors.
The motion sensor is in AlertFlash
("FLASH") mode.
The motion sensor is detecting light from
the bulbs.

Solution
Reposition the bulb away
from the motion sensor or
nearby objects.
Decrease the "RANGE"
setting or reposition the
motion sensor.
Switch the motion sensor
to auto. See Using Manual
Mode on page 8.
Do not use a dimmer or
timer to control the motion
sensor. Replace the dimmer
or timer with a standard on/
off wall switch.
Install the motion sensor
on a circuit without motors,
transformers, or fluorescent
bulbs.
Reposition the bulbs away
from the motion sensor.
Reposition the motion
sensor.
Flashing is normal under
these conditions.
Replace the bulbs with new
high quality PAR 38 bulbs.
Flashing is normal in this
mode. Select Security
("NORMAL") or BulbSaver
("SOFT") mode to turn
flashing off.
Reposition the bulbs to keep the
area below the motion sensor
relatively dark.
