White to white Black to black

If you have a metal junction box, you may not need the green "pigtail". If you are unsure about the grounding method, consult your local building code.

OPTIONAL WIRING

This fixture is provided with a sensor rated for 500 Watts. Since the fixture is only rated 100 Watts, 400 Watts of additional lighting may be controlled by this sensor.

When determining what a fixture is rated for, do not simply look at the rating on the light bulb in the fixture. Look at the marking which specifies the maximum bulb wattage for which the fixture is suitable.

Once you have selected the fixtures to be connected and determined their maximum ratings, add these ratings up. For instance, if you have 3 fixtures rated 100 Watts, 150 Watts, and 75 Watts respectively, you have a total load of 325 Watts.

Wiring Diagram 1 – When wiring to control a standard light fixture: Strip the motion sensor's red wire and connect to the standard light's black wire. Connect all white wires together. Total fixture ratings must not exceed 500 Watts (3.0 A).

Wiring Diagram 2 – When wiring to control another motion sensing light fixture (Master / Slave): Strip the red wire in both light fixtures. Connect the red wire of the controlling (master) fixture to the red and black wires of the controlled (slave) fixture. Connect all white wires together. Total fixture ratings must not exceed 500 Watts (3.0 A).

Wiring Diagram 3 – When wiring so either motion light turns on the both motion lights (Master / Master): Strip the red wire in both light fixtures. Connect the red wire of one fixture to the red wire of the second fixture. Note: In most installations, an additional wire (same gauge as existing house wire) will have to be installed in the house to connect the two fixtures as master / master. Connect all white wires together and all black wires together. Total fixture ratings must not exceed 500 Watts (3.0 A).

Note: When first turned on wait about 1 12 minutes for the circuitry to calibrate.

- Motion Sensor (AUTO) – This light fixture is designed to automatically turn on when the sensor detects a temperature difference moving across the front of the motion sensor. The light will turn off automatically after a set amount of time. The ON-TIME control should be set to 1, 5, or 10 minute setting and the wall switch should be left in the ON position at all times.

- Manual Mode – This light can be activated to stay on full bright after dusk (sunset) for only one night at a time. It automatically resets to motion sensing at dawn (sunrise). Manual mode must be re-activated each night. Note: If power to the light fixture is off for more than 5 seconds, allow the electronic circuitry in the sensor to calibrate (90 seconds) prior to switching to manual mode.

1. To turn on MANUAL mode, switch the light off at the wall switch for 1 to 2 seconds and then back on.

2. To return to AUTO mode, switch the light off at the wall switch for 1 to 2 seconds and then back on. Note: The sensor will also reset to AUTO mode at sunrise.
