7. After mounting the fixture (A), apply silicone
sealant caulking compound (not included) to
the perimeter of the fixture (A) where the back
of the cover plate meets the mounting surface.
Silicone caulking prevents water from entering
the junction box.
Note: Your installation is now complete. Turn
on power at the circuit breaker and flip the wall
switch to the ON position. The wall switch must
remain in the ON position for the motion detector
to operate properly.

OPERATI NG INSTRUCTIONS
Getting Started
After installing the fixture, slide the "TlMER" switch
(located on the bottom right of the backplate on
fixture (A)) to'TEST." Restore power at the circuit breaker
and turn on your wall switch. The light will turn on and
remain on for approximately 45 seconds. Then the light
will flash 3 times and turn off.
Note: ln TEST mode, the motion sensor will turn on the
light when it senses movement. Four to five seconds after
movement has stopped, the light will turn off.
ln TEST mode, slide the "SENSlTlVlTY" switch (located
on the bottom left of the backplate on fixture (A)) to a
desired level: "L" for low, "M" for medium, or "H" for high.

lf necessary, select a different "SENSITIVITY" switch
position to increase or decrease sensitivity/range. Repeat
the steps above. Continue to adjust the sensitivity until
optimum results are attained.

At dusk, the motion sensor will activate (Motion Sensing
Mode). Any movement within the coverage area will cause
the light to turn on. After movement has stopped, the light will
remain on for the preset time limit (4 or 10 minutes). At the
time limit, the light will turn off. The motion sensor will remain
active throughout the night. At dawn, the motion sensor will
deactivate.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Selecting A Location
. When selecting a location, be aware of the motion
sensor's maximum range of 30 ft. and 220o detection
angle (Fig. 1). ln addition, be aware of its 15o detection
down-angle (Fig. 2). Mounting the fixture too high or in
front of a sloped surface, such as an uphill walkway or
driveway, may affect the motion sensor's effectiveness.
. 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 (Fig. 3).
. Select locations away from nigl'lttime light sources, such
as street lamps or other light fixtures. They may shine
light onto the fixture's photocell sensor (located at the
bottom of the back plate, between the two switches).

. Be aware that motorized equipment, such as power tools, on the same electrical circuit may cause
oscillations on the electrical line that might cause the fixture to malfunction.
Additional Note
. This fixture uses one 100-watt max. medium-base bulb or 26W Max CFL bulb (not included).
. Minimum starting temperature for lamp is -0"F.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Manual Override
You may manually turn on the light from inside your home
using the wall switch that controls your light fixture. This
feature may be used during nighttime when the light is off,
while the circuit is in the Motion Sensing Mode.
To manually turn on the light and activate the Manual
Override, quickly flip your wall switch OFF-ON-OFF-ON
within a 3 second span. The light will remain on until the
override is deactivated.
To turn off the light and deactivate the Manual Override,
flip your wall switch OFF-ON-OFF-ON again. This will
return the circuit back to the Motion Sensing Mode.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
. Clean the glass and coated metal surfaces with a non-abrasive cleaner.
. DO NOT use any cleaners with chemicals, solvents or harsh abrasives.
. The motion detecting lens is coated with a specially painted finish and requires special care when
cleaning. Use only a soft dry cloth to dust or wipe the lens area.
. Another area that will need special attention is the photocell window. The photocell detects light
through this small window. Keep this area clean to prevent dirt from collecting.
. Excessive accumulation of dirt or dust on the photocell window may cause the lantern to come on
during the day.
