When selecting a location, be aware of the motion sensor’s maximum range of
30 ft and 220º detection angle.
SELECTING AN INSTALLATION LOCATION:
Select locations away from heat sources, such as heating vents, air
conditioners, and heated swimming pools.
When selecting a location, be aware that the motion sensor is more sensitive to
movement across its coverage area and less sensitive to movement toward or
away from the motion sensor.
Select locations away from nighttime light sources, such as street lamps or
other light fixtures. They may shine light onto photocell sensor (located at the
bottom of the back plate, between the two switches). This light might cause
the photocell sensor to “think” that it is daytime and not allow the light to turn
on during the nighttime.
Be aware that shade from a porch or an eave may not allow enough daylight to
shine onto the photocell sensor and may cause it to “think” that it is nighttime,
and subsequently cause the light to remain on during the daytime.
