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.
• WARNING: Shock hazard. For eave mounting, the center of the junction box must be located at least 4 1/2" (11.5 cm) from the outside edge of the eave.
• 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: Keep the lamp heads 30^ below horizontal to avoid water damage and electrical shock.
• 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.

INSTALLATION

WARNING: Turn power off at circuit breaker or fuse.

Place tape over circuit breaker switch and verify power is off at the fixture.

This fixture comes with a "Easy Install" mounting plate. It is pre-assembled on the fixture for shipping.

1. Unscrew the large mounting bolt connecting the light fixture to the mounting plate and remove the mounting plate (see Figure 1). The mounting bolt is designed to stay in the light fixture.
2. Install the mounting bracket with the stamped word "FRONT" facing away from the junction box (see Figure 2). Use the mounting bracket screws that best fit the junction box.
3. Route the junction box wires through the hole in the mounting plate (see Figure 3).
4. Place the mounting plate against the junction box (see Figure 3).

• Wall Mounted – The "UP" arrow must point upward

- Eave Mounted – The "UP" arrow must point toward the building

1. Insert the small mounting bolt through the mounting plate hole located below the threaded hole. Thread the bolt into the center hole of the mounting bracket (see Figure 3). Tighten bolt securely.

WIRING

Insert the junction box wires into the side of the terminal block and around the ground screw (see Figure 4). Tighten terminal block screws and ground screw to secure wires.

• White to "N (White)"
• Black to "L (Black)"
• Bare or green ground wire to GND (ground) screw.

FINAL ASSEMBLY

1. Double check that all wiring connections are securely connected.
2. Align the bottom edge of the light fixture with the bottom edge of the mounting plate. Tilt the light fixture toward the mounting plate, making sure the light fixture is centered on the mounting plate.

IMPORTANT: The two pins on the rear of the light fixture must insert into the terminal block for the light to work.

1. Tighten the mounting bolt securely being careful not to overtighten (see Figure 5).

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. Rotate the sensor so the controls face the ground.

1. Push the plastic plug firmly into the mounting bolt hole on the light fixture (see Figure 5).

2. Caulk around mounting plate and mounting surface with silicone weather sealant (see Figure 6).

TESTING AND ADJUSTMENTS

CAUTION: To avoid water damage and risk of electrical risk, motion sensor controls must be facing the ground installation is complete.

1. 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.

1. Slide the sensitivity (SENS) switch to the "LO" position, the ON-TIME switch to the TEST position, and the DUALBRITE switch to the OFF position (see Figure 7).

2. 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 8).

3. If needed, gently grasp the motion sensor and move it from side to side or up and down to adjust the detection zone.

4. If needed, gently grasp the lamp heads and move them from side to side or up and down to adjust the light coverage area.

5. Adjust the sensitivity (SENS) switch as needed ("LO", "M", "HI"). Sensitivity set too high may increase false triggering.

FINAL SETUP

1. Set the amount of ON-TIME you want the lights to stay on after all motion has stopped (1, 5, or 20 minutes).

2. Set the DUALBRITE switch to the amount of time after dusk you want the lights on at low level (Off, 3, 6 Hrs., Dusk-to-Dawn). See DualBrite Timer section for more information.

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

If you suspect that a heat source of this type is triggering the motion sensor, reduce the sensitivity.

• 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. The sensitivity (SENS) switch might need to be readjusted as the outside temperature changes for the different seasons. This is a normal part of the light sensor's operation.

DUALBRITE TIMER

DualBrite mode is a selectable feature that turns the light on at a reduced (accent) level at dusk. When motion is detected, the light will increase to full bright for the amount of the ON-TIME setting (1, 5, or 20 minutes) then returns to DualBrite mode. The light will stay on at the reduced light level for the amount of time selected (Off, 3 hr., 6 hr., dusk-to-dawn) and then turn off completely. Once the DualBrite timer runs out, the light will turn ON only when motion is detected. Selecting OFF disables the DualBrite feature, however the motion sensing features will continue to work.

MANUAL MODE

Manual mode overrides the motion sensor and “ON-TIME” 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 1 to 2 seconds and then back on.
• To turn manual mode off, switch the light off at the wall switch for 1 to 2 seconds and then back on.
