Possible Cause
□
The light switch is turned off.
□
The fuse is blown or the circuit breaker
is turned off.
□
The light fixture is not properly
attached to the mounting base, if this is
a new installation.
□
Daylight turn-off (photocell) is in effect.
□
The circuit wiring is incorrect (if this is
a new installation).
□
The motion sensor is aimed in the
wrong direction.
□
The light fixture is mounted in a dark
location.
□
The motion sensor ON-TIME switch is
set to the TEST position.
□
The motion sensor may be sensing
small animals or automobile traffic.
□
The light fixture is wired through a
dimmer or timer.
□
The motion sensor may be picking up a
heat source, such as an air vent, dryer
vent, or brightly painted, heat-reflective
surface.
□
The motion sensor is in manual mode.
□
The light fixture is wired through a
dimmer or timer.
□
The light fixture is on the same circuit
as a motor, transformer, or fluorescent
bulb.
□
Heat or light from the lamp heads 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 detecting light from
the lamp heads.
Solution
□
Turn the light switch on.
□
Replace the fuse or turn the circuit
breaker on.
□
Re-install the light fixture to the base.
□
Recheck after dark.
□
Verify the wiring is correct.
□
Re-aim the motion sensor to cover
the desired area.
□
The light fixture is operating normally
under these circumstances.
□
Turn the control switch to the 20S
(second), 1Min (minute), or 5Min
(minute) position.
□
Reposition the motion sensor.
□
Do not use a dimmer or timer to

□
Do not use a dimmer or timer to
control the light fixture. Replace the
dimmer or timer with a standard on/
off wall switch.
□
Install the light fixture on a circuit
without motors, transformers, or
fluorescent bulbs.
□
Reposition the lamp heads away from
the motion sensor.
□
Reposition the motion sensor.
Reposition the lamp heads to keep the
area below the motion sensor relatively
dark.
