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.

-6-
595-5631-07
CAUTION: If you have not already turned the
power off at the breaker or fuse, do so now.
Make sure the gasket is in place before connect-
ing any wires. You may find it convenient to use
the wire hanger provided to hold the fixture to the
junction box during the wiring process.
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.
If you are mounting the JourneyMan®fixture to a
small rectangular box, you will need to use the
universal adaptor as shown below. Other boxes
may require the adaptor adjusted differently.
If you are using a standard octagon box, the adap-
tor is probably not required.

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. Con-
nect all white wires together. Total fixture
ratings must not exceed 1000W (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 1000W. Since the fixture is only rated 300W,
700W 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 100W, 150W, and 75W respec-
tively, you have a total load of 325W.

Finish Mounting
❒Align the JourneyMan®base plate, gasket, and
the junction box holes. Secure with mounting
screws that fit your junction box.
❒If not installed on a weatherproof box or if the
adaptor plate was used, caulk between the
base plate and mounting surface with sili-
cone weather sealant.
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.
❒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.
Sensor Bottom
Don't aim the control 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.

Adjustments Continued . . .
Aim Sensor Down
for Short Coverage
❒Loosen the wing screws, estimate the direction to aim the sensor and
tighten the wing screws just enough to hold the sensor in place.
❒Walk through the coverage area noting where you are when the lights
turn on. Loosen the wing screws and readjust the sensor as necessary.
Tighten the wing screws (finger tight) when you are satisfied with the
coverage direction. 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 increase 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.
❒Replace the rubber cover to protect controls.
Aim Sensor Out for

Expected Coverage
The sensor is less sensitive to motion directly
towards it, most sensitive to motion across its field
of view.

Maximum Range
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 ob-
jects 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.

CUIDADO: Si todavía no ha desconectado la
alimentación en el cortacircuito o fusible,
hágalo ahora.
Asegúrese que la empaquetadura esté en su sitio
antes de conectar cualquier cable. Le puede ser
conveniente usar el gancho de alambre suplido
para sostener el aparato en la caja de empalmes
durante el proceso de cableado.
Conecte los cables de la caja de empalmes a los
cables del aparato. Tuérzalos juntos y asegúrelos
con conectores de cable.
CUIDADO: Si no controlará aparatos adicionales
con su JourneyMan®, NO conecte el cable ROJO.
