INSTALLATION
.
❒ Turn power off at the fuse or circuit breaker.
This model Instant Motion Sensor Light Control can be
used with many indoor or outdoor light fixtures where
the motion sensing feature is desired.
❒ Open the light fixture if it
is necessary. Remove the
light bulb. Screw in the lamp
module and replace the
bulb.
NOTE: Do not stretch the coils too tight when installing
the remote sensor. The coils are needed to create a
drip loop to prevent water from running into the fixture
or the sensor. ❒ Plug the adapter
cord(s) into the
sensor module. The
adapter cord's plug
is polarized for proper
installation.
❒ Mount the sensor 5 to 9 feet (1.5 to 2.7 meters) above
the ground. Place the sensor below or beside the
lighting fixture so that the light from the fixture
will not hit the sensor. Secure the sensor to the
wall with the screws provided. It will be necessary
to tilt the sensor head to the side when mounting.
NOTE: Mounting the sensor directly above the lamps
may increase false triggering.
Wall Mount Ceiling Mount
❒ The sensor/control is capable of controlling two lamp
adapters. This illustration shows a typical installation
with two lamp adapters controlling PAR-38 lamps.
Note the sensor is below the lamps and there is
sufficient cord from the adapters to form a drip
loop to prevent water from
running down the cords
and into the
sensor. Also,
the lamps
must stay
at least 1"
(25mm) from
the sensor.
Keep the lamp at least 1"
(25mm) from the sensor
and cord.
Warning - Risk of fire. Do not aim the lamps at a
combustible surface within 3 ft. (1 m).

The detector is less sensitive to motion directly towards
it and more sensitive to cross motion.
❒ Walk through the coverage
area noting where you are
when the lights turn on. Move
the sensor head up, down, or
sideways to change the cover-
age area.
❒ Adjust the SENSITIVITY as
needed. Too much sensitivity
may increase false triggering.
❒ Set the amount of TIME you
want the lights to stay on after
motion is detected (1, 5, or 10
minutes).

Avoid aiming the control at:
• Objects that change temperature rapidly, such as
heating vents and air conditioners. These heat
sources could cause false triggering.
• Areas where pets or traffic may trigger the control.
• Nearby large, light-colored objects reflecting light
may trigger the shut-off feature. Do not point other
lights at the sensor.
❒ Turn the SENSITIVITY (SENS) control to the mid
position and the ON-TIME control to the TEST
position.
NOTE: Sensor has a 1 1/2 minute warm up period
before it will detect motion. When first turned
on or when switching from Manual to Auto
mode wait 1 1/2 minutes.

SYMPTOM
Light will not
come on.
Light comes on
in daylight.
Light comes on
for no apparent
reason.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. A sensor is positioned too close to the lamp
or pointed at nearby objects that cause heat
to trigger the sensor (Reposition the lamp
away from the sensor or nearby objects).
2. Light Control is pointed toward a heat
source like an air vent, dryer vent, or
brightly-painted heat-reflective surface
(Reposition sensor).
3. Sensor is in Manual Mode (Set to Auto
Mode).
1. Heat or light from the lamp may be turning
the Light Control on and off (Reposition the
sensor away from the light).
2. Heat being reflected from other objects may be
affecting the sensor (Reposition sensor).
3. Light Control is in the Test mode and warm-
ing up (Flashing is normal under these
conditions).
SYMPTOM
Light stays on
continuously.
Light flashes on
and off.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. Light switch is turned off.
2. Lamp is loose or burned out.
3. Fuse is blown or circuit breaker is turned off.
4. Daylight turn-off is in effect (recheck after
dark).
5. Re-aim the sensor to cover desired area.
6. Cable not fully plugged in.
1. Light Control may be installed in a relatively
dark location.
2. Light Control is in Test (Set control switch
to an ON-TIME position).
1. Light Control may be sensing small animals
or automobile traffic (re-aim sensor).
2. Sensitivity is set too high (Reduce sensitiv-
ity).
