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 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.
Reposition the bulbs to keep the
area below the motion sensor
relatively dark.
