FOR BEST RESULTS
• Install the motion sensor/transmitter 8-12 feet
above the ground. (Motion sensor is less sensitive
above 12 feet.)
• Locate motion sensor 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.
MOUNTING AND WIRING YOUR FIXTURE
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Disconnect power at fuse or circuit breaker before
installing or servicing.
NOTE: Coverplate mounts to recessed mounted
standard junction boxes (Fig. 2). Junction box must be
at least 1-1/2 inch in depth for proper installation for
recessed mount application.
1. The coverplate has been designed to work with
a variety of different junction boxes (not included).
Line up the holes in the coverplate with the screw
holes in your junction box. If holes in the coverplate
do not match the screw holes on your junction box,
drill holes in the coverplate using an 3/16 inch drill
bit to match the screw holes on the junction box.
2. Connect the black wire from the fixture to the
black house supply wire and the white wire
from the fixture to the white supply wire using
wire nuts (D) (Fig. 3).
3. Attach the ground wire coming from your house
to the copper ground wire from the fixture (A) using
wire nut (D) (Fig. 3). If no house ground wire is
available, attach the copper ground wire from
the fixture to the junction box if it is metal and
grounded. If junction box is not metal and no house
ground wire is available, an alternative ground
source must be used for safe operation.
4. Attach fixture to the junction box with two of the
screws (D) provided. Either (2) #6 or (2) #8 screws
will work with most standard junction boxes. Make
sure that all screws are tightly secured.
5. To prevent moisture from entering the junction box,
apply a bead of silicone sealant around the edge of
the coverplate where it attaches to the junction box
and any open holes.
6. Insert lampholder gaskets (B) into lampholders and
screw bulbs into lampholders (Fig. 4).
(Do not overtighten bulbs.)
7. Turn on power at main fuse /breaker box.
OPERATING YOUR FIXTURE
1. Set dial to "TEST" (Fig. 5).
2. Turn on the power to fixture. Allow fixture to warm
up approximately 40 seconds before testing.
3. Aim sensor head toward desired detection area,
maintaining a 5° down angle to allow moisture
to drain.
NOTE: Maintain at least 1 inch of air space between
lamps and sensor head. Make sure sensor head
is positioned with control switches facing towards
the ground.
4. Walk across the detection zone at the farthest
distance you wish your detector to detect motion.
5. Adjust sensor head angle until you get desired results.
NOTE: For maximum range performance, allow fixture to operate in any mode (with power
to the unit) for at least 48 hours.
6. Set dial to desired time setting. The higher the time setting, the longer the lamps
will be on. (Maximum time is 12 minutes.)

SELECTING YOUR DESIRED FEATURE
Mode of Operation
Auto Setting (motion activated)
Lights should turn ON with motion only at
night and should turn OFF according to the
TIME dial setting.
Dusk to Dawn Setting (activated only at night)
Lights should turn ON for 6 hours at dusk and
then reset to the Auto Setting.
Test Setting
Lights should turn ON with motion both day and
night. Lights should turn OFF after 4 seconds.
Return to Auto Setting (motion activated)
From any of the above settings.

Solution
• Check if circuit breaker tripped.
• Confirm wall switch is ON.
• Replace bulb.
• Re-aim the head.
• Relocate or reposition the unit away from
the light.
TURN OFF POWER BEFORE CONTINUING
• Check wiring; reconnect if necessary
using wire nuts (E) provided.
• 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.
• Reposition the sensor.
• Make sure the sensor is not picking up
moving objects such as trees, traffic, etc.
• Reposition the sensor.
• 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.
• Re-aim the lamp.
• Reposition motion sensor.
• Change dial setting (not "TEST" mode).
• Reposition motion sensor.
• Re-aim the head.
• Relocate or reposition the unit away
from the light.
• Turn power OFF and ON twice within
3 seconds.
