For best results
• Locate motion sensor so motion moves across
detection zone (K).
• 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 street traffic.
Installing your landscape motion sensor transmitter
Step 1: Choose a desired location in your yard for landscape motion sen-
sor that has a clear view of driveway, walkway or area where motion is to
be detected. The landscape motion sensor will transmit up to 100 feet in
most cases, therefore, it must be located within this range from floodlight
receiver (a closer distance will achieve more consistent performance).
Step 2: Contact your local Utility Company to be sure that there are no
buried utilities in the selected installation site before installing spike. Adjust
installation site until a safe location has been found. Do not continue until
this step has been completed!
Step 3: Safety glasses must be worn during this installation step.
Place pointed end of mounting spike (J) on ground in approved
installation location. Using hammer/mallet drive mounting spike
into ground making sure that spike is as close to vertical as pos-
sible. Do not drive spike in ground any further than first horizontal
flange from the pointed end.
Step 4: Slide bottom end of post over top end of spike making
sure that vertical ribs on spike slide in between vertical ribs inside
of post. Holes on post align with holes in spike (L). Post will stop
with bottom of post at the top of largest horizontal rib on spike.
Step 5: Install both post mounting screws through holes in side
of post to secure post to spike.
Step 6: Loosen two screws on top flange of post and
point arrow towards center of desired detection area.
This could require removing the screws and installing
them again if slotted holes will not allow arrow to point
to center of desired detection area (M).
Step 7: Remove battery cover from driveway sensor head (A) by removing
screw from recessed hole in center of back cover. Install (4) "AA" alkaline
batteries in battery compartment making sure that batteries are installed in
the correct orientation as shown on printed diagram in battery area. Allow
60 seconds after batteries are installed before testing (see How to operate
your fixture for correct settings before replacing cover). Replace back cover
by aligning groove around perimeter of back cover with rib around perime-
ter of battery compartment while making sure that recessed screw hole
aligns with screw boss. Replace screw in recessed hole in battery cover
and tighten to secure cover to sensor housing.

Step 8: Install motion sensor head (A) on driveway sensor post (I) by align-
ing slots in flange on bottom of sensor head with protrusions on side of post
top. NOTE: Make sure motion sensor front is in the same orientation as
arrow on post flange. Rotate sensor head clockwise until locked in place.
Lens of sensor head should be pointing toward desired detection area.
Mounting your light fixture (receiver)
Step 1: WARNING: Risk of electric shock.
Disconnect power at fuse or circuit breaker
before installing or servicing.
Step 2: This mounting plate has been
designed to work with a variety of different
junction boxes. Line up the knockout holes
in the mounting plate with the screw loca-
tions in your junction box. Drill out the
matching holes in the mounting plate, using an electric drill and a 1/8" drill
bit or knock out the hole with a punch and hammer.
Step 3: Take the gasket included with this mounting plate and position it
behind the mounting plate. Line up the screws in the mounting plate with
the appropriate hole pattern in the gasket and remove gasket material in
those holes. When wall mounting, locate arrow on back of mounting plate
and mount with arrow pointing up.
Step 4: Connect lampholder wires to supply wires from house (white to
white and black to black) using wire nuts included. No ground wire
required. Attach any ground wire from your house to the junction box.
Step 5: Attach the mounting plate to your junction box using screws includ-
ed, making sure that the gasket is properly aligned and that all screws are
tightly secured. To prevent moisture from entering the junction box, apply a
bead of silicone sealant around the edge of the mounting plate where it
attaches to the junction box.
Step 6: Turn power on at the main fuse/breaker box.
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. Tilt lamp holders at least 15°
downward. NOTE: Deviation from the assembly instructions may result in a
risk or electric shock.
How to operate your fixture
Step 1: Make sure motion sensor and remote light are
set to the same house code (fixtures will come from
factory already set to the same code). You may reset
the house code by turning the dial inside the battery
compartment of the driveway sensor head and the bot-
tom of the floodlight to the same number (N). There are
16 different selections
Step 2: Move slide switch inside battery compartment
of driveway sensor head to "TEST". Set sensitivity
knob to medium (halfway).

Your fixture mounts
to the following standard
junction boxes:

Step 3: Turn on power to floodlight receiver.
Step 4: Aim driveway sensor head toward desired detection area.
Step 5: Walk across the detection zone at the farthest distance you wish
your detector to detect motion. Adjust sensitivity until you get desired results.
Step 6: Your sensor is equipped with two lens shutters,
which will allow you to customize your detection area
down to 90 degrees. If the sensor is seeing at too wide
of an angle, or if you wish to block certain areas from
being detected, you can do so by simply locating the
shutters on either side of the lens. Carefully pull the
shutter(s) out using the two tabs on the front of the shutter (O). NOTE: Be
sure to use two fingers and pull the upper and lower tab simultaneously to
insure proper and even sliding. Each shutter will extend approximately 1-
1/2" to help prevent either side of the sensor from detecting motion.
Step 7: Move slide switch inside battery compartment to 4 MIN or 12 MIN
(AUTO mode). At dusk your lights will operate in the AUTO setting.
Step 8: Replace cover after all adjustments are made.
