Installation
If you want to use the Manual Override feature you will need to install the fixture on a circuit controlled
by a switch.
❒Loosen the thumbscrews holding the sensor
head and lampheads.
❒Adjust the various parts so that the fixture
looks similar to this illustration.
❒Finger tighten the thumbscrews at this time.
Wall Mount Eave Mount
❒Loosen the thumbscrews holding the sensor
head and lampheads.
❒Adjust the various parts so that the fixture
looks similar to this illustration.
❒Finger tighten the thumbscrews at this time.
CAUTION: BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION, TURN THE POWER OFF AT THE
CIRCUIT BREAKER.

CAUTION: If you have not already turned the
power off at the breaker or fuse, do so now.
Connect the junction box wires to the fixture wires.
Twist together and secure with wire connectors.
CAUTION: If you are not controlling additional
fixtures from your JourneyMan®fixture, DO NOT
connect the RED wire.

❒Turn power off at the fuse or circuit breaker.
❒Remove the existing light fixture (if appli-
cable).
❒Install the mounting bracket as shown using
two screws supplied in hardware pack that fit
your junction box:
Rectangular Junction Box - Use two #6-32
x 3/4" screws.
Circular or Octagonal Junction Box - Use
two #8-32 x 3/8" screws.
Watertight Junction Box - Use two #10-24
x 1/2" screws.
❒The plastic hanger can be used to hold the fix-
ture while wiring. The small end of the plastic
hanger can be threaded through the hole in the
center of the cover plate. The small end then
goes into one of the slots on the mounting
bracket.
❒Route the Light Control’s wires through the
large gasket holes.

Controlling Non-Motion Sensing
Fixtures
❒When wiring to additional standard fixture
only: Strip the motion sensor's red wire and
connect to the standard light's black wire.
Connect all white wires together. Total fixture
ratings must not exceed 1000 Watts (8.3 A).
NOTE: All wiring between fixtures should be run
in accordance with the National Electrical
Code through conduit or another acceptable
means. Contact a qualified electrician if
there is any question as to the suitability of
the system.
❒This fixture is provided with a sensor rated
for 1000 Watts. Since the fixture is only rated
300 Watts, 700 Watts of additional load may
be controlled by this sensor.
❒When determining what a fixture is rated for,
do not simply look at the rating on the lamp in
the fixture. Look at the marking which speci-
fies the maximum lamp wattage for which the
fixture is suitable.
❒Once you have selected the fixtures to be con-
nected and determined their maximum ratings,
add these ratings up. For instance, if you have
3 fixtures rated 100 Watts, 150 Watts, and 75
Watts respectively, you have a total load of 325
Watts.

Finish Mounting
❒Align the JourneyMan®cover plate, gasket,
and the mounting bracket hole. Secure with
M5 x 0.8 x 40 mm mounting screw supplied.
❒Push the rubber plug firmly into place.
❒If not installed on a weatherproof box, caulk
between the cover plate and mounting sur-
face with silicone weather sealant.
❒Adjust the lamp holders by loosening the lock
nuts but do not rotate the lamp holders more
than 180°from the factory setting. When
screwing in the floodlamps, do not overtighten.
To avoid water damage and
electrical shock, keep lamp
holders aimed below horizontal.

Test and Adjustment
NOTES: When first turned on wait about 1 1/2
minutes for the circuitry to calibrate.
Testing with Range Boost on during day-
light may result in abnormal operation.
Sensor Bottom
Do not aim the sensor at:
•Objects that change temperature rapidly, such
as heating vents and air conditioners, to help
avoid false triggering.
•Where pets or traffic may trigger the control.
•Nearby large, light-colored objects reflect-
ing light may trigger the shut-off feature. Do
not point other lights at the sensor.
❒Turn on the circuit breaker and light switch.
❒Open the control access cover (on bottom
of unit) by pulling down on the tab of the
rubber cover.
❒Turn the sensitivity control to the center of its
adjustment, RANGE BOOST to OFF and the
ON-TIME to TEST position.

Adjustments Continued . . .
Aim Sensor Down
for Short Coverage
❒Loosen the thumbscrews, estimate the direction to aim the sensor and tighten
the thumbscrews just enough to hold the sensor in place.
❒Walk through the coverage area noting where you are when the lights turn
on. Loosen the thumbscrews and readjust the sensor as necessary. Tighten
the thumbscrews (finger tight) when you are satisfied with the coverage di-
rection. Keep the sensor at least 1 inch (25 mm) from lamps and keep the
controls on the bottom.
❒Adjust SENSITIVITY as needed to increase or decrease the range. Too much
sensitivity may cause false triggering.
❒Set the amount of TIME (1, 5, or 20 minutes) you want the lights to stay on
after motion is detected at night.
❒If you need to detect objects more than 70 feet (21 m) away, turn Range
Boost on. For maximum range, the sensor must be aiming straight out.
❒Replace the rubber cover to protect controls. Aim Sensor Out for
Long Coverage
Expected Coverage
The sensor is less sensitive to motion directly
towards it, most sensitive to motion across its
field of view.
When mounted 8 feet (2.4 m) from the ground, you
may expect the range shown below. If mounted much
higher the sensor may miss objects near the ground.
If mounted much lower the sensor range may be
reduced.

If the wide angle (270°) coverage is too wide for
your application, you may need to install the lens
shield to reduce the coverage angle.
❒Decide which side of the lens you want to cover.
❒Curve the shield as shown. Slide the shield
down, under the two metal ribs of the case.
Make sure the shield slides all the way down
so the entire shield will lay directly against
the lens.
❒Slip the small protrusion behind the vertical
metal rib to hold the top of the shield in place.

If the sensor is not kept level you may experi-
ence an apparent decrease in range because
objects may pass under the detection zone with-
out being detected.
