Congratulations. You have just purchased a Cooper Lighting, LLC motion-
activated floodlight that combines both Precision Plus Doppler Radar™ and PIR
(Passive Infrared) technology. This combination provides the maximum
accuracy and protection for your home and family.
How it works
PIR does a good job of detecting lateral motion across the 270° range of
detection. Precision Plus Doppler Radar™ does an excellent job detecting
motion towards and away from the unit. Both systems combined provide
enhanced accuracy and complete coverage within the detection range. Rest
assured that motion from any direction will trigger your floodlight—even during
hot or cold temperature extremes.
What you need
• Phillips screwdriver
• Outdoor weatherproof silicone caulking
• (2) 150 Watt (MAX) PAR 38 floodlight bulbs (A)
Note: This fixture was designed to work with up to 150 Watt maximum PAR
flood bulbs. For improved energy efficiency, lower wattage PAR or CFL flood
bulbs can be used.
What’s included
• Motion detector and light fixture (B)
• Coverplate gasket (C)
• (2) Lampholder gaskets (D)
• (2) #6 and (2) #8 mounting screws (E)
• (3) Wire nuts (F)
• Mounting bracket (G)
• Center bolt (H)
• Color-matched center hole plug (I)
• (2) Light covers (J)

• Locate motion sensor so motion moves laterally or
towards the detection zone (Fig. 1).
• Locate sensor away from heat producing sources to
prevent false triggering. Also, be very careful not to
include objects such as windows, white walls and water in
the detection zone whenever possible.
• Locate sensor away from moving objects such as trees
and street traffic.
• Do not install more than one motion-activated floodlight
on one wall switch.

Aiming the light
Loosen the knob on the side of the lamp holder. Tilt lamp holder up or
down to desired position then retighten knob.
WARNING: Deviation from the assembly instructions may result in
a risk of electric shock.
How to operate your fixture
Step 1: Turn the arrow on the MODE knob to the
TEST for test mode (Fig. 5).
Step 2: Turn the arrow on the SENSITIVITY knob
to a middle point between “+” and “-”.
Step 3: Turn on the power to the fixture. Allow fixture to warm up
approximately 90 seconds before testing. (Lights may or may not
come on during warm-up period; this is normal.)
Step 4: Aim sensor toward the general direction that motion will be coming
from. Maintain at least 1˝ of clearance between sensor head and
lamps. Always position the sensor head with control switches facing
toward the ground.
Note: (Sensor Head Placement) For optimum detection, you may have to
experiment with aiming and settings. Each location will be different and your
terrain may affect the angle your sensor needs. Adjusting the angle will change
your area of detection. Here are some general guidelines to help with setup:
• 8´-12´ above the ground is a good range for
the placement of your fixture.
• For an 8´ mounting height, placing the sensor
at a 10° angle below horizontal should work
well for most locations (Fig. 6).
• If the fixture is mounted higher, the angle of
the sensor below horizontal should increase.
• If the fixture is mounted lower than 8´, the
angle of the sensor below horizontal should
decrease but never be parallel to horizontal.
Step 5: Walk through the detection zone at the
farthest distance you want your detector to
detect motion.
Step 6: Adjust the SENSITIVITY knob until you get
desired results. For more range, aim sensor
slightly upward. For less range, aim sensor head
slightly downward. Lights will turn off 2 seconds after motion stops.
Step 7: Adjust the MODE knob to a time selection from 1m-12m,
depending on how many minutes you want the fixture to stay on
after motion is detected. At dusk, the photo control will activate
your fixture to operate according to the settings chosen.
Note: Decreasing the SENSITIVITY will decrease the distance the unit
can detect.

What to do if . . .
Is there motion in the detection zone?
• Make sure the sensor is not picking up moving objects
such as trees, traffic, etc.
TEST FOR YOURSELF
• Cover the sensor lens with cardboard to prevent
sensor from detecting motion. If the lights stay off,
something in the detection zone is triggering the sensor.
• If this is the case, reduce the sensitivity.
• Reposition motion sensor.
*If the lights stay on with sensor lens covered,
contact customer service.
Is the unit in the motion-activated setting?
• Make sure MODE knob is set between 1m-12m.
Is there motion in the detection zone?
• Make sure the sensor is not picking up moving objects
such as trees, traffic, etc.
• If this is the case, reduce the sensitivity.
• Reposition motion sensor.
If there is no motion, then the unit may be in the override mode.
• Turn the light switch to the OFF position for 90 seconds,
and then back to the ON position. This will send the unit
back into the motion-activated setting.
*If the lights continue to stay on, contact customer
service.
Is the unit in the AUTO mode?
• Make sure the unit is set between 1m-12m (AUTO mode).
The light given off from the unit’s own lamp(s) is affecting the
motion sensor.
• Re-aim lamp(s).
• Reposition motion sensor.
Is the switch on the bottom of the motion sensor in the test
mode?
• Reposition MODE knob off of TEST to a time selection
(1m-12m).
• Move the switch off of TEST.
Is the motion detector shadowed?
• Reposition motion sensor.
