Selecting A Location - Home Decorators Collection HB7251-292 Guía De Uso Y Mantenimiento

Pre-Installation (continued)

SELECTING A LOCATION

 Be aware of the motion sensor‟s maximum
range of 30 ft. and 200º detection angle.
 Be aware of the motion sensor‟s 15º
detection down-angle (from horizontal).

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.

Be aware that the motion sensor is more
sensitive to movement across its coverage
area and less sensitive to movement
toward or away from the motion sensor.

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 at the
bottom of the back plate, between the two
switches). This light might cause the circuit
to "think" that it is daytime and not allow
the fixture‟s functions to operate.

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 which might cause the fixture
to malfunction.
