Adjusting the Light Head:
1. Gently grasp the light heads and tilt them left or right, up or down by loosing the set screw in joint arm of sensor to
adjust the light coverage area. Keep the light heads at least 1” (25mm) away from the sensor. (See Fig. 6)
2. Keep the light heads 30˚ below horizontal to avoid water damage and electrical shock.
Sensitivity of Motion Sensor
● You can adjust the sensitivity of the motion sensor by using the “SENSITIVITY” selector located on the right
side of the bottom surface of the sensor. (See Fig. 5)
● Adjust motion sensor sensitivity to achieve desired performance.
● Approximate range for each setting from 10ft to 70ft.
Function and Operation
Choose a mode by sliding the switch on the bottom of the sensor of the fixture. (See Fig.5 )
Note: When power is first applied, the light will turn on immediately. Wait for 30 seconds to allow the sensor
to warm up.
1. TEST MODE (daytime and nighttime operation.)
●Rotate Time knob arrow on the bottom of the sensor head to the “TEST” position .
● When slide the mode selector to “OFF”, the light turns off automatically. It turns to high-level brightness
when motion is detected, and stays on as long as the motion continues. It turns off about 5 seconds after
motion is no longer detected.
sensor
Adjusting the Sensor Head:
1. Aim sensor head toward desired detection area, maintaining a
5° - 40° downward angle to allow moisture to drain.
Note: Make sure sensor head is positioned with controls facing
toward the ground.
2. You can move the sensor head up and down to change the coverage
area. (See Fig. 2)
Note: Range set too high may increase false triggering.

Shut-off Delay
● The shut-off delay is the length of time the light will stay at brightness after motion is detected.
● You can set the shut-off delay by rotating the Time knob arrow so it points to the desired time setting (from 5
seconds to 3 minutes). To increase the shut-off delay, turn the knob clockwise. To decrease the shut-off delay,
turn the knob counterclockwise.
● When slide the mode selector to “3H” or “6H” or “D2D”, the light turns to low-level brightness automatically.
It turns to high-level brightness when motion is detected, and stays on as long as the motion continues.
Then switches back to low-level brightness about 5 seconds after motion is no longer detected.
2. OFF MODE (nighttime operation only)
● To shift to the “OFF” mode, slide the switch to “OFF” position, and rotate Time knob arrow to the desired time
setting (between 5 seconds and 3 minutes). At dusk, the light stays off, the light turns on when motion is
detected, and stays on as long as motion continues. When the motion is no longer detected, it remains on for
the predetermined time you set (5s ~ 3min), and then turns off automatically.

Where you install your fixture is important:
Be sure the light is mounted straight on the wall
or eave; otherwise, the detection distance may
be limited.

Notes:
1. The sensitivity of the motion sensor will increase as the environmental temperature gets cooler. For best
performance, gently clean the lens with a soft cloth every 1 or 2 months to ensure maximum sensitivity.
2. For best performance, install fixture at least 8 feet above the ground. At such a height, the fixture will provide a
detection distance of up to 70 feet at 77 degrees Fahrenheit. (See Fig.7)
3. The sensor detects movement across a detection range of 240 degrees. (See Fig.8)
4. The sensor will be more sensitive to motion across its detection path than motion directly towards it. (See Fig.9)
5. To reduce possible nuisances, do not mount the fixture near a heat source like an air conditioner, vent or furnace
exhaust, or in a direction facing any reflective object or other nearby light source.
Troubleshooting
---The light does not come on at all:
1. Make sure the wall switch and circuit breaker are on.
2. Make sure the wiring is correct.
3. Cover the sensor with dark color cloth to verify that the ambient light level is not too high.
---The light comes on for no apparent reason:
1. Re-aim the motion sensor.
2. Decrease the sensitivity setting.
3. Do not use a dimmer or timer to control the light fixture. Replace the dimmer or timer with a standard on/off wall
switch.
---The light flashes on and off:
1. Reposition the bulb away from the motion sensor.
2. Reposition the motion sensor.
3. The motion sensor is in “TEST” mode and warm up.
