PRECAUTIONS
Please read and understand this entire manual before
attempting to assemble, install, or operate this motion
sensor.
This motion sensor requires 120-volts AC.
Some codes require installation by a qualied electrician.
This motion sensor must be properly grounded.
For proper operation, this motion sensor should be:
ƑInstalled outdoors to a wall or eaves

detected.
ƑStop, wait for the light to turn off, and then
begin walking again.
ƑContinue this process until the detection zone
has been established.
ƑAdjust the sensor up, down, or side to side to
change the motion sensor (A) detection zone.
4 Adjusting the RANGE Dial
ƑTo increase the detection zone, turn the
“RANGE” dial toward the “MAX” position.
ƑTo decrease the detection zone, turn the
“RANGE” dial toward the “MIN” position.
NOTE: The motion sensor (A) is more sensitive to motion
moving across the front of the sensor. The motion sensor
(A) is less sensitive to motion moving directly toward the
front of the sensor.
NOTE: The higher the “RANGE” setting (sensitivity), the
greater the possibility of false triggering. To reduce false
triggering, rotate the “RANGE” control toward the “MIN”
setting.

7 Adjusting the LAMP MODE
Switch
The “LAMP MODE” switch determines the way the
lights will turn on when motion is detected.
ƑSecurity (“NORMAL”) - Light comes on instantly.
ƑBulbSaver (“SOFT”) - Light comes on dim and
gradually increases to full brightness. When the
light turns off it will gradually dim to half-bright,
pause, and then will continue dimming until the
light turns off.
ƑAlertFlash (“FLASH”) - Light ashes on then off
twice before turning on full brightness.
ƑSet the “LAMP MODE” to “NORMAL”, “SOFT”,
or “FLASH” position.

8 Using Manual Mode
Manual mode overrides the motion sensor (A) 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 (A) will reset to motion
sensing mode at sunrise. Manual mode can be toggled
on and off using a wall switch.
ƑTo turn manual mode on, switch the light off
at the wall switch for 3 to 4 seconds and then
back on.
ƑTo turn manual mode off, switch the light off
at the wall switch for 3 to 4 seconds and then
back on.
NOTE: If the power to the light xture is off for more than
5 seconds, allow the motion sensor to warm up prior to
switching to manual mode.
