IMPORTANT SAFETY AND INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Before installing security light, read all instructions carefully and keep owner’s manual for future reference.
• WARNING: To prevent electric shock, ensure that the power is disconnected before installation.
• WARNING: Risk of re. Keep the lamp heads at least 2 in. from combustible materials.
• WARNING: Shock hazard.For eave mounting,the center of the junction box must be located at least 4 1/2" (11.5 cm)
from the outside edge of the eave.
• CAUTION: To avoid water damage and the risk of electrical shock, the motion sensor controls must be facing the
ground when the installation is complete.
• CAUTION: Keep the lamp heads 30° below horizontal to avoid water damage and electrical shock.
• CAUTION: Burn hazard. Allow the light xture to cool before touching.
• NOTICE: Do not connect this light xture to a dimmer switch or timer.
• is light xture requires 120-volts AC.
• is light xture must be properly grounded.
• Some electrical codes require installation by a qualied electrician.
• If you want to use Manual Mode, the light xture must be wired through a switch.
• is xture is designed for outdoor installation and should be mounted to a wall or eaves.
• To achieve best results,this xture should be mounted 8 feet (2.4 meters) above the ground.Note: If xture is mounted
higher than 8 ft. (2.4 meters), aiming the sensor down will reduce coverage distance.
e motion sensor on this light xture detects “motion” by the movement of heat across the coverage area.e motion
sensor is more sensitive to the movement of heat moving across the coverage area and less sensitive to the movement
of heat directly towards it.
Note: Light xture and sensor should be mounted as shown above when installed (depending upon type of installation).

Figure 5
CAUTION:To avoid water damage and risk of electrical
shock, motion sensor controls must be facing the ground
when installation is complete.
1. Turn on the circuit breaker and light switch.
Note: e motion sensor has a 1 minute warm up period before
it will detect motion. When rst turned on wait 1 minute.
2. Slide the sensitivity (SENS) switch to the “L” position and the
ON-TIME switch to the TEST position (see Figure 7).
3. Walk through the coverage area noting where you are when the
lights turn on. Also,the red LED behind the motion sensor lens
will ash several times when motion is detected (see Figure 8).
4. If needed, gently grasp the motion sensor and move it from side
to side or up and down to adjust the detection zone.
5. If needed,gently grasp the lamp heads and move them from side
to side or up and down to adjust the light coverage area.
6. Adjust the sensitivity (SENS) switch as needed (“L”,“M”, “H”).
Sensitivity set too high may increase false triggering.

LAMP HEAD ADJUSTMENT
islight is designedwithfour adjustable lampheads.e lampheads
can be used as two lamp heads or can be separated to help spread the
light coverage.Caution should be taken not to rotate the lamp heads
past the built-in stops.
1. Gently grasp the top lamp heads and move them to cover the
desired area.
2. Gently grasp the bottom lamp heads and move them to cover
the desired area.
FINAL SETUP
Set the amount of ON-TIME you want the lights to stay on after all
motion has stopped (1, 5, or 20 minutes).
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
AVOID AIMING THE SENSOR AT:
• Below are examples of objects that might produce heat and may cause the motion sensor to trigger:
• Pools of Water • Air Conditioners • Dryer Vents
• Animals • Heating Vents • Automobile Trac
If you suspect that a heat source of this type is triggering the motion sensor, reduce the sensitivity.
• Areas where pets or trac may trigger the motion sensor.
• Nearby large, light-colored objects reecting light may trigger the shut-o feature. Do not point other lights at the
motion sensor.
SEASONAL CHANGES:
e motion sensor works by sensing temperature changes across its eld of view. e closer the surrounding tempera-
ture is to a person’s body heat,the less sensitive the sensor will appear.e greater the temperature dierence, the more
sensitive the sensor will appear. e sensitivity (SENS) switch might need to be readjusted as the outside temperature
changes for the dierent seasons.is is a normal part of the light sensor’s operation.
