IMPORTANT SAFETY AND INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Before installing security light, read all instructions carefully and keep owner's manual for future reference.
- WARNING: To prevent electric shock, ensure that the power is disconnected before installation.
- WARNING: Risk of fire. Keep the lamp heads at least 2 in. from combustible materials.
- CAUTION: To avoid water damage and the risk of electrical shock, the motion sensor controls must be facing the ground when the installation is complete.
- CAUTION: Burn hazard. Allow the light fixture to cool before touching.
- NOTICE: Do not connect this light fixture to a dimmer switch or timer.
• This light fixture requires 120-volts AC.
• This light fixture must be properly grounded. - Some electrical codes require installation by a qualified electrician.
- If you want to use Manual Mode, the light fixture must be wired through a switch.
- This fixture is designed for outdoor installation and should be mounted to a wall or eaves.
- To achieve best results, this fixture should be mounted 8 feet (2.4 meters) above the ground. Note: If fixture is mounted higher than 8 ft. (2.4 meters), aiming the sensor down will reduce coverage distance.
The motion sensor on this light fixture detects “motion” by the movement of heat across the coverage area. The motion sensor is more sensitive to the movement of heat moving across the coverage area and less sensitive to the movement of heat directly towards it.

Note: Light fixture and sensor should be mounted as shown above when installed (depending upon type of installation).
WIRING

WARNING: Turn power off at circuit breaker or fuse.
Place tape over circuit breaker switch and verify power is off at the fixture.
- Remove the existing light fixture.
- Install the mounting bracket with the stamped word "FRONT" facing away from the junction box (see Figure 1). Use the mounting bracket screws that best fit the junction box.
-
Attach the junction box ground wire to the ground wire attached to the mounting bracket using one of the wire connectors (see Figure 2).
-
Twist the junction box wires and fixture wires together as shown. Secure with wire connectors (see Figure 2).

FINAL ASSEMBLY
-
Double check that all wiring connections are securely connected.
-
Align the mounting bolt on the back or the fixture with the center hole in the mounting bracket. Note: The mounting bolt is designed to stay in the light fixture.
-
Tighten the mounting bolt securely being careful not to overtighten (see Figure 3).
-
Double check that all wiring connections are securely connected.
- Align the mounting bolt on the back or the fixture with the center hole in the mounting bracket. Note: The mounting bolt is designed to stay in the light fixture.
- Tighten the mounting bolt securely being careful not to overtighten (see Figure 3).
IMPORTANT:
- If wall mounted, make sure the fixture is mounted with the sensor below the lamp heads.
-
If eave mounted, mount the fixture with sensor facing away from the house wall.
-
Push the rubber plug firmly into the mounting bolt hole on the light fixture (see Figure 3).
-
Caulk around mounting plate and mounting surface with silicone weather sealant (see Figure 4).

Push the rubber plug firmly into the mounting bolt hole on the light fixture (see Figure 3).
- Caulk around mounting plate and mounting surface with silicone weather sealant (see Figure 4).
TESTING AND ADJUSTMENTS

CAUTION: To avoid water damage and risk of electrical shock, motion sensor controls must be facing the ground when installation is complete.
- Turn on the circuit breaker and light switch.
Note: The motion sensor has a 1 minute warm up period before it will detect motion. When first turned on wait 1 minute.

-
Turn the control dial to the TEST position (see Figure 5). Note: When the control dial is set to the TEST position, the light fixture will operate during the day or night. The light will stay on for 8 seconds after all motion has stopped.
-
Walk through the coverage area noting where you are when the lights turn on. Also, the red LED behind the motion sensor lens will flash several times when motion is detected (see Figure 6).
-
Stop, wait for the light to turn off, and then begin walking again. Continue this process until the detection zone has been established.
-
If needed, gently grasp the motion sensor and move it from side to side or up and down to adjust the detection zone.
-
If needed, gently grasp the lamp heads and move them from side to side or up and down to adjust the light coverage area.
-
Turn the control dial to set the amount of time you want the lights to stay on after all motion has stopped (adjustble between 5 seconds and 5 minutes) (see Figure 7). Note: When set between 5 seconds and 5 minutes, the light fixture will only work after dark (sunset).

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
AVOID AIMING THE SENSOR AT:
• Below are examples of objects that might produce heat and may cause the motion sensor to trigger:
- Pools of Water • Air Conditioners • Dryer Vents
• Animals • Heating Vents • Automobile Traffic
- Areas where pets or traffic may trigger the motion sensor.
- Nearby large, light-colored objects reflecting light may trigger the shut-off feature. Do not point other lights at the motion sensor.
SEASONAL CHANGES:
The motion sensor works by sensing temperature changes across its field of view. The closer the surrounding temperature is to a person's body heat, the less sensitive the sensor will appear. The greater the temperature difference, the more sensitive the sensor will appear. This is a normal part of the light sensor's operation.
MANUAL MODE
Manual mode overrides the motion sensor and timer control so the light will operate full bright. This feature only works at night and only for one night at a time. The motion sensor will reset to motion sensing mode at 6 hours or sunrise, whichever comes first. Manual mode can be toggled on and off using a wall switch.
- To turn manual mode on, switch the light off at the wall switch for 2 to 4 seconds and then back on.
- To turn manual mode off, switch the light off at the wall switch for 2 to 4 seconds and then back on.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
| SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION | ||
| The light will not come on. 1 | Light switch is turned off.Fuse is blown or circuit breaker is turned off.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 outside air temperature is close to the same as a person's body heat. | Turn light switch on.Replace fuse or turn circuit breaker on.Recheck after dark.Verify wiring is correct.Re-aim the motion sensor to cover the desired area.See Seasonal Changes on page 4 for more information. |
| The light comes on during the day. | The motion sensor may be installed in a relatively dark location.The control dial is in the “TEST” position. | The light fixture is operating normally under these circumstances.Turn the control dial between 5 seconds and 5 minutes. |
| The light comes on for no apparent reason. | The motion sensor may be sensing small animals or automobile traffic.The outside temperature is much warmer or cooler than a person's body heat (summer or winter).The light fixture is wired through a dimmer or timer. | Reposition the motion sensor.See Seasonal Changes on page 4 for more information.Do not use a dimmer or timer to control the light fixture. Replace the dimmer or timer with a standard on/off wall switch. |
| The lights stay on continuously. | 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 light fixture is wired through a dimmer or timer.The light fixture is on the same circuit as a motor, transformer, or fluorescent bulb. | Reposition the motion sensor.Turn the control dial between 5 seconds and 5 minutes. Follow Manual Mode instructions on page 4 to reset.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. |
| The lights flash on and off. 1. | 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 in “TEST” mode and warming up. | Reposition the lamp heads away from the motion sensor.Reposition the motion sensor.While in TEST mode, the light only stays on for 8 seconds. Turn the control dial between 5 seconds and 5 minutes. |
| The lights flash once then stay off in manual mode. | The motion sensor is detecting light from the lamp heads. | Reposition the lamp heads to keep the area below the motion sensor relatively dark. |
