CAUTION-BEFORE YOU START
1) READ THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTION BOOK BE-
FORE YOU START.
2) THOROUGHLY INSPECT THE CONTENTS OF
YOUR BOX.
3) EXPERIENCE WITH 120 VAC IS REQUIRED.
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE OF THE INSTALLA-
TION, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
4)
KEEP IN MIND BEFORE YOU MOUNT YOUR
MOTION DETECTOR, THAT IT
IS MOST SEN-
SITIVE
TO MOTION ACROSS ITS FIELD OF
VIEW, NOT TOWARDS OR
AWAY
FROM IT. TRY TO MOUNT IT AT LEAST
DIAGONALLY ACROSS
THE PROTECTED AREA.
5)
FOR BEST RESULTS, MOUNT YOUR MOTION
DETECTOR ON A SOLID SURFACE AND 6 TO 8

AIMING AIMING
THESE SIMPLE GUIDELINES WILL ASSIST YOU IN THE
PROPER AIMING AND HELP YOU ACHIEVE THE MOST
RELIABLE TRIGGERING FROM YOUR MOTION DETEC-
TOR.
AREA OF COVERAGE:
THE FOLLOWING DIAGRAMS ILLUSTRATE THE
BASIC AREAS
OF COVERAGE, AND SHOW THE
FOUR LEVELS OF VISION. ALL DRAWINGS ARE

FOR THE MOST RELIABLE TRIGGERING, AIM THE
MOTION DETECTOR HEAD LOWER THAN THE MAXI-
MUM DISTANCE YOU NEED.
THE MOTION DETEC-
TOR CAN SEE ABOVE THE HOODLINE, JUST AS YOU
COULD
SEE THE LINE OF A STANDARD FLIP UP
GARAGE DOOR, IF YOU WERE STANDING UNDER IT.
YOUR RANGE
MAY ACTUALLY DECREASE IF YOUR
MOTION DETECTOR IS AIMED TOO HIGH, AS
THE
4TH LEVEL OF VISION MAY COVER AN AREA Ov'ER
YOUR HEAD.
START BY AIMING YOUR MOTION DETECTOR
DOWNWARD.
THEN SLOWLY RAISE THE MOTION
DETECTOR AS REQUIRED
FOR YOUR RANGE
NEEDS. REMEMBER
TO KEEP THE RANGE SETTING
AT THE MAXIMUM.

AIMING:
1) OPEN THE CONTROL DOOR UNDER YOUR MOTION
DETECTOR AND SLIDE THE SELECTOR SWITCH TO
THE TEST MODE, MAKING SURE THE RANGE
CONTROL IS ADJUSTED FULLY CLOCKWISE. DO
;NOT
Ji'ORCE THE ADJUSTMENT PAST THE STOP.
2) TURN THE POWER ON AT THE MAIN FUSE BOX AND
REFER TO PAGE 10.

OPERATING CONDITIONS AND CONTROLS
II DO NOT DISASSEMBLE YOUR MOTION DETECTOR.
DOING SO WILL VOID YOUR
WARRANTY, AND COULD
CREATE A SHOCKHAZARD.
I ALWAYS TURN THE MASTER POWER OFF WHEN CHANG-
ING BULBS.
I'
I DO NOT CLEAN THE LENS WITH LIQUIDS OR CHEMI- Ii
CALS. IF THE LENS BECOMES DIRTY, BLOW OFF DEBRIS Ill!;
WITH AIR, OR USE A SOFT BRUSH, SUCH AS THOSE USED III
ON CAMERA EQUIPMENT. III
mi TRY TO KEEP THE FLOOD LAMPS AS FAR AWAY AS POS-
SIBLE FROM THE MOTION DETECTOR HEAD. USE THEM
WITH THE LAMPS ABOVE THE MOTION DETECTOR
AT
ALLTIMESe
II WHEN POWER IS FIRST APPLIED, THE LIGHTS MAY
COME ON. THE LIGHTS WILL SHUT OFF AFTER MOTION
HAS STOPPED AND THE ADJUSTED TThiE SETTING HAS
ELAPSED.
I USE THE LOWEST LAMP WATTAGE SUITABLE FOR YOUR:I
NEEDS. ,II
I YOUR MOTION DETECTOR IS MOST SENSITIVE TO MO-
TION ACROSS ITS FIELD OF VIEW, NOT TOWARDS IT OR
AWAY FROM IT.

MANUAL WALL SWITCH OVERRIDE
YOUR MOTION DETECTOR HAS A BUILT-IN MANUAL
OVERRIDE FEATURE.
THIS FEATURE ALLOWS YOU '1'0
BYPASS THE MOTION DETECTOR, AND CONTROL YOUR
LIGHTS DIRECTLY.
THIS IS ESPECIALLY USEFUL IF YOU
SHOULD HEAR A NOISE OUTSIDE, AND YOUR MOTION
DETECTOR HAS NOT TRIGGERED. YOU CAN INVESTI-
GATE BY SIMPLY TURNING YOUR WALL SWITCH
OFF
FOR 1/2-1 SECOND, AND THEN TURNING YOUR WALL
SWITCH BACK ON.
THE LAMPS WILL TURN ON, AND
REMAIN
ON FOR AS LONG AS YOU NEED THEM. TO RES-
UME AUTOMATIC OPERATION, (MOTION DETECTION),
AGAIN,
FLIP YOUR WALL SWITCH OFF FOR 112-1 SECOND,
AND
THEN BACK ON. YOUR LIGHTS WILL SHUT OFF,
AND YOUR
]VIOTION DETECTOR WILL BE IN THE AUTO-
MATICMODE. I
DAYTIME PHOTOCELL OPERATION
I
YOUR MOTION DETECTOR HAS A BUILT-IN DAYLIGHT
SENSOR.
THIS SENSOR PREVENTS YOUR MOTION DE-
TECTOR FROM OPERATING DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS.
RANGE CONTROL
THIS IS A SENSITIVITY CONTROL-WHEN FIRST SET-
TING UP, HAVE THIS CONTROL ADJUSTED CLOCKWISE.
AFTER TESTING YOUR COVERAGE AREA,
THIS CON-
TROL CAN
BE REDUCED, (COUNTER CLOCKWISE), TO
MINIMIZE TRIGGERING FROM SMALL ANIMALS. DO
NOT
USE THE RANGE CONTROL TO COMPENSATE FOR
l}',,;lPROPER AIMING, SUCH AS FOR SIDEWALKS OR
I:
STREETS.
2- MANUAL OVERRIDE BYPASS
YOU CA.t~ MANUALLY TURN YOUR MOTION DETECTOR
ON BY
FLIPPING YOUR WALL SWITCH OFF, AND THEN
ON. SEE PAGE-10. SOMETIMES, POWER SURGES OR
POWER INTERRUPTIONS CAN FOOL YOUR MOTION DE-
TECTOR INTO
THE MANUAL OVERRIDE MODE, AND
KEEP YOUR LIGHTS ON. THIS CAN HAPPEN DURING
LIGHTNING STORMS OR TURBULENT WEATHER.
TO PREVENT YOUR MOTION DETECTOR FROM SWITCH-
ING INTO
THE MANUAL OVERRIDE MODE, SLIDE THE
MANUAL OVERRIDE BYPASS SWITCH TO THE ON PO-
SITION. YOUR MOTION DETECTOR WILL NOT
GO INTO
THE MANUAL OVERRIDE MODE NOW.
THIS FEATURE
WILL
BE HELPFUL WHEN YOU ARE AWAY, AND WILL
GIVE YOU
THE PEACE OF MIND KNOWING YOUR
LIGHTS WILL COME ON
WHEN ANYONE ENTERS THE
PROTECTED AREA.
S- PHOTOCELL COVER PLUG
FOR 24 HOUR OPERATION, YOU CAN REMOVE THE RUB-
BER PHOTOCELL PLUG FROM ITS STORAGE AREA, AND
PLACE IT OVER
THE PHOTOCELL, ITEM 6 ON THE DIA-
GRAM.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ADJUSTMENTS
4- PHOTOCELL ADJUSTMENT
SOMETIMES THE l\iOTION DETECTOR WILL BE
MOUNTED IN AREAS SUCH AS CARPORTS OR SHEDS.
THESE AREAS BECOME DARKER SOONER. YOU CAN USE
THE PHOTOCELL ADJUST11:ENT TO HAVE THE MOTION
DETECTOR COME ON EARLIER OR LATER
IN THE EVE-
NING.
AD~JUST CLOCKWISE FOR EARLIER, (LIGHTER) OPERA-
TION, AND COUNTER CLOCKWISE
FOR LATER, (DARKER)
OPERATION.
S- TIME ADJUSTMENT SWITCH
THERE ARE 4 POSITIONS FOR THIS SWITCH:
TEST
WHEN THE SWITCH IS SET IN THE TEST POSITION, THE
DAYLIGHT PHOTOCELL SENSOR IS BYPASSED, AND THE
MOTION DETECTOR WILL TRIGGER WITH MOTION, STAY
ON FOR A
FEW SECONDS, AND THEN SHUT OFF. THIS
FEATURE IS CONVENIENT FOR TESTING
THE AREA TO
BE COVERED. REMEMBER, ONCE
THE LIGHTS ARE TRIG-
GERED, ALL MOTION MUST STOP
IN ORDER FOR THE
LIGHTS TO TURN OFF.
1·3·10
YOUR MOTION DETECTOR WILL KEEP THE LAMPS ON AS
LONG AS MOTION IS DETECTED. AFTER ALL MOTION
HAS STOPPED, THE LAMPS WILL STAY ON FOR
1, 3, OR 10
MINUTES DEPENDING ON THE SWITCH SETTING.
6-PHOTOCELL
THE DAYLIGHT PHOTOCELL SENSOR IS LOCATED BE-
HIND
THE CLEAR WINDOW. DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE
WINDOW, OR YOUR UNIT MAY WORK 24 HOURS. IF THIS
IS DESIRED, USE THE PHOTOCELL PLUG, ITEM #3.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Pg-13
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
A. LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON AT ALL:
1) CHECKTO SEE IF THERE IS POWERTO THE
MOTION DETECTOR.
2) MAKE SURE THAT THE LAMPS BEING USED ARE
WORKING.
3) SOMETIMES
THE FIBER WASHER MAY
PREVENT PROPER BULB BASE CONTACT.
4) CHECKALL WIRING AND CONNECTIONS.
A) BLACK WIRE FROM HOUSE TO BLACK
WIRE FROM MOTION DETECTOR.
B) ALL WHITE WIRES TOGETHER.
C) RED WIRE FROM MOTION DETECTOR TO
BLACK LAMP HOLDER WIRES.
5)
IN THE 1, 3, AND 10 SWITCH SETTINGS, THE
LAl'\1P WILL NOT TURN ON DURING THE DAY.
B. LIGHTS STAY ON ALI .. DAY AND NIGHT:
1) TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR MOTION DETECTOR
IS NOT SWITCHING INTO
THE MANUAL
OVERRIDE MODE BECAUSE
OF POWER SURGES,
SLIDE YOUR MANUAL OVERRIDE BYPASS
SWITCH TO
THE ON POSITION.
2) CHECKALL WIRING AND CONNECTIONS.
A) BLACK WIRE FROM HOUSE TO BLACK
WIRE FROM MOTION DETECTOR.
B)
ALL WHITE WIRES TOGETHER.
C) RED WIRES FROM MOTION DETECTOR TO
BLACK LAMP HOLDER WIRES.
C. MOTION DETECTOR TRIGGERS ON WITH MOTION,
AND STAYS ON:
1) MOVE THE FLOODLAMPS AWAY FROM THE
l\10TION DETECTOR HEAD, OR USE LOWER
WATTAGE ENERGY SAVING BULBS.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Pg-14
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
2} AIM THE MOTION DETECTOR LOWER, OR A \VA Y
FROM BUSY AREAS, SUCH AS SIDEWALKS AND
STREETS.
3) ADJUST THE RANGE CONTROL LOWER (COUNTER
CLOCKWISE).
D)
MOTION DETECTOR COMES ON RANDOMLY OR
BLINKS IN THE TEST MODE.:
1) MOVE THE FLOODLAMPS AWAY FROM THE
MOTION DETECTOR HEAD, OR
USE LO\VER
WATTAGE ENERGY SAVING BULBS.
2) AIM THE MOTION DETECTOR HEAD LOWER.
3) DO NOT AIM YOUR MOTION DETECTOR AT
HEATING OR COOLING DUCTS, METAL SHEDS,
POOLS
OF WATER, Sl\tl00TH WALLS, OR
WINDOWS.
4) TURN THE RANGE SETTING LOWER, (COUNTER
CLOCKWISE).
5) MOUNT YOUR MOTION DETECTOR ON A FIRM
SURFACE, AS MECHANICAL VIBRATIONS CAN
FALSE TRIGGER
THE UNIT.
E) NOT ENOUGH MOTION DETECTOR RANGE, OR TOO
l\IUCH MOTION DETECTOR RANGE.:
1) YOUR MOTION DETECTOR
IS MOST SENSITIVE TO
~MOTION ACROSS ITS FIELD OF VIEW, NOT
TOWARDS IT OR
AWAY FROM IT. TRY TO AIM THE
MOTION DETECTOR AT LEAST DIAGONALLY
ACROSS
THE PROTECTED AREA.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSPg-15
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
2) IF YOUR MOTION DETECTOR IS MOUNTED ON A
SLOPE, AIM IT SLIGHTLY UPWARD
IF THE SLOPE
IS UPWARD.
IF THE SLOPE IS DOWNWARD, AIM
THE MOTION DETECTOR SEVERELY
DOWNWARD, AND SLOWLY RAISE
IT AS
NECESSARY.
USE THE TEST MODE.
WHEN THE SLOPE IS DOWNWARD, IT IS EASY
FOR
THE 4TH LEVEL OF VISION TO SHOOT OVER
YOUR HEAD, AND MISS YOUR MOTION.
IN
ADDITION, THIS WILL CAUSE FALSE
TRIGGERING.
SEE THE AIMING SECTION OF
THIS BOOKLET, PAGES 6-8.
3) ADJUST THE RANGE CONTROL. DO NOT
USE
THE RANGE CONTROL TO COMPENSATE FOR
POOR AIMING.
F) LED BLINKS BUT LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON:
1) AFTER THE LIGHTS GO OFF, THERE IS A 10-20
SECOND RESET PERIOD DURING WHICH THE LED
WILL CONTINUE TO BLINK
WHEN MOTION IS
DETECTED, BUT THE LIGHTS WILL NOT COME
ON. THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE UNIT.
