IMPORTANT
CAUTION: TURN OFF ALL POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER/FUSE PANEL.
• Read entire Installation Manual before proceeding.
• All wiring should comply with local electrical codes and requires a qualied electrician.
• The total lighting load connected to STL360 must not exceed (1000W Incandescent, 250VA Standard Ballast
400VA Electronic Ballast (LED).
To switch more wattage, an electrician can install a relay.
• Line Carrier Remote Control Systems such as X-10, Leviton or Radio Shack are incompatible with sensors and may
cause false activations.
• Do not install sensors on a circuit that feeds motor loads such as kitchen appliances, HVAC equipment, washer/dryer,
or garage door openers.
• Sensor functions best when the direction of expected movement is across its detection pattern, not towards the sensor.
• Mount 6’-10’ high for optimum range and detection.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• Turn o electrical power at fuse or circuit breaker box before wiring xture to the power supply.
• Verify that the supply voltage is correct. Connect xture to a 120V, 60 Hz power source.

HOW DOES THE SUPER STEALTH 360 WORK?
HOW DO THE SCANNING LED DETECTION
INDICATORS WORK?
The STL360 infrared sensor“sees”temperature changes caused
by the motion of people or cars within its protection zone and
turns on lights automatically. It welcomes visitors and may
deter intruders.
Total coverage. Two sensors in one.
Two powerful detectors combine to give the STL360
“Can’t Miss” Detection: 180°long forward range (180° x 60’)
plus superb 360°detection below and to all sides.
IMPORTANT NOTES
SENSOR ADJUSTMENTS
Fig: 1
Fig: 2
Scanning LEDs serve as a deterrent by indicating a security device
in operation. They also show the STL360 mode of operation.
Automatic Mode
When the STL360 is “On Guard” in Auto Mode, three red LEDs scan
continuously day and night, except during detections (at which
time the controlled lights will go on and LEDs will be off)
as shown in Fig 1.
Test Mode
When the sensor is in “Test Mode” all of the LEDs will be o .
Manual Override Mode
When the sensor is ready for “Manual Override Mode” the
middle LED will be on steady.
Evening Timer Mode
When the sensor is ready for “Evening Timer Mode”
the middle LED will be blink.
How long do the lights stay on?
Lights remain on as long as there is movement within the
protection zone. Once the zone is vacated lights can be adjusted
to remain on approximately 5 seconds up to 12 minutes. Since the
lights are on only when needed, the sensor uses only one watt.
The Stealth is extremely energy e cient.
Can outdoor lights still be turned on with the light switch?
Yes. STL360 can be controlled by a conventional indoor switch or
circuit breaker. STL360 operates in the Auto Mode unless changed.
Lights can be turned on or o manually at night only with the
Manual Override Mode.
Wall Switch Manual Override (to keep lights on)
Flip the switch twice slowly (off-on-off-on) within 1–2 seconds.
If you set this during the day the sensor will enter Manual
Override Mode at dusk.
Evening Timer (to keep lights on, and is repeated every night)
Flip the switch three times slowly (off-on-off-on-off-on) within
1½ – 3 seconds. You can set this during the day and the
Evening Timer Mode will begin at dusk.
To Resume Automatic Mode
Switch power o for at least 10 seconds, then back on.
Will STL360 detect animals?
STL360 may detect large animals. Having animals trigger the
sensor can give property a “lived-in” look. However, you can
limit animal detection by turning down the sensitivity knob
and/or placing the blinders provided on the lower part of the
forward lens.
How do you make adjustments to the sensor?
Use the adjustment tool provided as shown in Fig 2, or a
screwdriver with a 1/8”wide blade to adjust the controls on the
front of the sensor (see next page).

Fig: 4
Choosing a location
The best location is where the sensor can“see” all paths of
movement. The sensor may be wall or so t mounted.
As distance from the sensor increases, larger movement will
be required for detection. For instance, at 10 feet, a half step
will be enough, while at 50 feet several steps will be necessary
for detection.
How large an area does STL360 protect?
Two powerful detectors combine to give the STL360 180°x 60’long
forward range plus superb 360°downward detection below and to
all sides as shown in Fig 3.
Difficult locations
Sensor may be triggered by unwanted movement or heat source,
such as a swaying tree, road tra c, dryer vent, swimming pool or
hot tub.
To improve performance in difficult locations
Reduce sensitivity by turning the SENS knob counterclockwise
as shown in Fig 5, and/or mask lens in the direction of the
unwanted movement or heat source using the lens mask provided
as shown in Fig 6.
Mounting Stability
Mount sensor on stable surface. Do not mount on a tree or pole
that will move in the wind as shown in Fig 7.
Mounting Height
Mounting at 6-10’ above the ground allows maximum range. If the
sensor is mounted above 15’ high, the usable range is reduced as
shown in Fig 4.

INSTALLATION (cont’d)
Locations near roads (cont’d)
Make sure that sensor is not aimed at tra c. The sensor
should be aimed down so that the maximum range of
the sensor ends at least 20’ from the road. This will avoid
detection of passing trucks and cars or the air currents
they create as shown in Fig 11.
Mount Level
The sensor should be mounted level from side to side and
pointed at the area where you desire coverage. If tilted,
part of the detection zone may be high in the air over
people’s heads as shown in Fig 12.
Fig: 8 Fig: 11

Light vs. Sensor Position
Make sure sensor and lights are mounted  rmly. If they move when
touched, tighten all screws.
Make sure heat from lights is not triggering sensor. Sensor must be
located below and as far away as possible from its lights as shown
in Fig 8.

Locate for Movement Across Pattern
Check that movement is not directly towards sensor. Sensor is more
sensitive ACROSS its pattern (Fig 13). Check that movement far
away and directly towards sensor is not entirely within one zone. To
x, change the sensor angle or location as shown in Fig 14. Mounting and Wiring
Red pigtail is only used to switch remote or additional xtures
as shown in Fig 16.
STL360 oodlight kits come pre-wired and assembled on the
RAB CU4 EZ Plate allowing for mounting on round, rectangular
or octagonal surface or recessed boxes.
Fig: 14
Fig: 15
Choose a Protected Location
Mount sensor in protected area. The more protected the mounting
location, the less chance of lights turning on occasionally during
rain, snow and windstorms. This could happen because the sensor
is detecting dramatic changes in temperature as shown in Fig 15.

STL360 KIT ASSEMBLY AND WIRING (cont’d)
Multiple Sensors
Multiple sensors may be wired together, but doing this will make
problems di cult to troubleshoot. Single sensors that control their
own lights will give a more accurate location of movement and
trouble-free operation.
Multiple Fixtures
Multiple  xtures may be wired to a single sensor. To handle loads
greater than 1000 watts, a quali ed electrician should install a relay
as shown in Fig 19.
Fig: 19
Power Quality
It is not recommended to install sensors on a circuit that also feeds
motor loads such as HVAC equipment, kitchen appliances, or ga-
rage door openers. The Stealth circuit is surge and transient voltage
protected.
However, if voltage varies signi cantly from 120V, the sensor may
malfunction. This may occur on circuits with motor loads.
Fig: 21
Fig: 22
Fig: 22
Fig: 20
Photocell
For night-only operation, turn the knob completely
counterclockwise to the MOON symbol. For 24-hour operation turn
the knob all the way clockwise to the MOON/SUN symbol.
Adjust counterclockwise to have the sensor come on later at
dusk, clockwise to have it come on earlier. The Factory Setting is
Night-only (MOON). If you set Evening Timer while set to 24 hour
operation, Evening Timer will begin immediately after  ipping
switch as shown in Fig 21.
Evening Timer
The STL360 provides an alternative to normal motion-activated
lighting. The EVENING TIMER as shown in Fig 22 can keep lights
on continuously without motion detected for 1 to 8 hours after
dusk. This is great for evening activities requiring continuous light.
During vacations the EVENING TIMER provides a “lived-in” look by
simulating an occupant turning lights on at dusk, and then o at
bedtime.
Sensitivity
Increases or decreases the responsiveness and range of the
sensor (adjustable from 30% to 100%). The Factory Setting is
100% as shown in Fig 22.
Time
Sets the time that lights will remain on after the detection zone is
vacated. Adjustable from approximately 5 seconds to 12 minutes.
The factory setting is 12 minutes as shown in Fig 20.

SENSOR MODES
Evening Timer (cont’d)
To activate the EVENING TIMER,  ip the wall switch controlling the
sensor three times slowly (o -on-o -on-o -on) within 3 seconds. If
you activate the EVENING TIMER during daytime, the middle LED
should start blinking indicating that the EVENING TIMER will start
when dusk is detected.
Choose the length of time you want continuous lighting. For exam-
ple, if you set the EVENING TIMER to “8”, the sensor will keep lights
ON for 8 hours after dusk. Once 8 hours have passed, the sensor
will revert to motion activated mode. At dawn, the photocell will
detect light and prevent lights from turning on during the daytime.
The Evening Timer Mode will continue until you de-activate it.
If you do not want to use the EVENING TIMER, do NOT  ip the
switch 3 times, as described above.
To de-activate the EVENING TIMER, switch the sensor OFF for at
least 10 seconds, then ON again. Sensor will be in Automatic Mode.
(After completing the 30 sec warm-up period)
You can a x this provided label as shown in Fig. 23 to your indoor
light switch plate for easy reference.
Automatic Mode
Lights will turn on when there is movement within the detection
zone after dusk as shown in Fig 24.
Fig: 23
Fig: 24

Fig: 26
Evening Timer Mode
Keeps lights on for 1-8 hours after dusk. Sensor then reverts to
Automatic Mode until dawn. If you set the Evening Timer Mode
during daylight the sensor will be prepared to turn on at dusk and
remain on for the number of hours you set.
When the sensor is in “Ready for Evening Timer Mode”, the middle
LED will blink 3 times, pause and repeat. Set the Evening Timer
by  ipping the switch that operates the sensor 3 times within 3
seconds (o -on-o -on-o -on) as shown in Fig 25.
Test Mode
The Test Mode (Fig 26) will allow you to test the sensor during the
day regardless of the photocell setting. To enter Test Mode, turn
time setting to 5 sec on the unit. Turn power o for 10 sec then
back on. There is a 30 second warm-up period, then the Test Mode
starts. During the warm-up, the lights stay on continuously and
LEDs are o . During Test Mode the LEDs remain o . The sensor
will stay in Test Mode until the detection zone is vacated for one
minute.
During the Test Period, the sensor will keep lights on for
5 seconds each time it detects movement in its detection zone.
Perform the walk test and make any adjustments needed. Vacate
the detection zone for one minute or more to end Test Mode.
Scanning LEDs will appear when test mode ends. Set back to

SENSOR MODES (cont’d)
Manual Override Mode
The STL360 has a “protected” Manual Override that requires a
double- ip of the light switch so momentary power problems
do not interfere with normal sensor operation.
By  ipping the switch that operates the sensor twice
(off-on-off-on) within 2 seconds you will override the sensor to keep
lights on continuously until dawn.
If you set the Manual Override Mode during daylight, the
sensor will be prepared to turn on at dusk and remain on until
dawn. This is a handy feature if you leave home for the day and
you want the lights on to greet you when you return. When the
sensor is in “Ready for Manual Override Mode”the middle LED
will be on as shown in Fig 27.
To Resume Automatic Mode
Switch OFF the power for at least 10 seconds then turn it ON again.
Sensor will reset to Automatic Mode after completing the warm-
up period.
Daytime (24-Hour) Operation Of Manual Override
If you set Manual Override while the sensor is set to 24 hour
operation (photocell set to MOON/SUN), lights will come on and
remain on continuously. Lights will not turn off at dawn.
Fig: 27 Fig: 28
WALK TESTING
“Ready for Manual Override Mode”
Middle LED on
STL360’s full coverage pattern reduces the need for aiming and
adjustment. The purpose of the Walk Test is to check and adjust
the coverage pattern. The STL360 must be manually set into
Test Mode (Fig. 26).
To enter Test Mode
Turn Time setting to 5 seconds and turn o sensor for 10 seconds.
After a warm up period of 30 seconds the LEDs will be o .
1. Aim the sensor at the tra c pattern you want to detect.
Sensor will detect any movement ACROSS its pattern
most e ectively.
2. Start outside the pattern (Fig 28) and walk across the pattern
until the lights go on. As distance from the sensor increases,
it will take more movement to be detected.
3. Adjust sensor aiming as necessary to improve coverage.
Make sure sensor is level.
4. Sensitivity may be decreased with the SENS knob to detect
a limited area or if the sensor is being activated by wind,
foliage, tra c or animals, or increased to cover a larger area
(see Fig. 20 to adjust sensor settings). The lens mask can also
be used to drastically reduce coverage or allow undetected
movement from some directions.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 until you are satis ed with coverage.
Vacate the detection zone for 1 minute and then turn the
settings back to desired time delay. Your sensor is now
ready for operation.

TROUBLESHOOTING
WrongOK!
Lights Do Not Turn O.
1. Make sure that the sensor is not in Manual Override Mode.
Turn sensor OFF for 10 seconds or more then back ON. The
Sensor will go through a warm up period where the lights are
on then will go into Automatic Mode with lights o and ready
to detect movement.
2. Make sure that the sensor is not in Evening Timer Mode.
Turn power OFF for 10 seconds (see step1).
3. Make sure sensor is not aimed at or mounted over something
that would move or change temperature such as waving
branches, water, air conditioners, windows or heating vents
even on neighboring property. You can test for infrared sources
in the area by placing a box or bag over the sensor. Put sensor
into test mode. Lights should stay o. Wave your hand inside
bag in front of sensor. Lights should go on and then time out.
If sensor operates properly when covered, check steps 4-8
below.
Problem: Sensor is triggered by unwanted
movement or heat source as shown below.
Solution:
(1) Aim sensor away from movement, or
(2) Mask lens in the direction of the source
(3) Lower sensitivity control setting
Lights Turn On and O Inappropriately.
1. Make sure that the sensor is installed on its own dedicated
circuit, free of motor loads such as HVAC equipment, kitchen
appliances or garage door openers.
2. It is not recommended to wire sensors in parallel.
More than one sensor wired together makes them dicult to
troubleshoot. Disconnect multiple sensors and test separately.
3. Keep all people completely out of the detection pattern to
make sure the sensor is not detecting them.
4. Make sure sensor is located below and as far as possible from
its lamps. Heat from the lamps may trigger the sensor.
Solution:
Move sensor below and away from the lamps as shown..
4. Make sure sensor and lights are mounted rmly and do
not move even slightly when touched. If they move,
tighten all screws.
5. Make sure sensor is not mounted on an unstable object
such
as a tree or pole that will move in the wind as shown
below.
Problem: Movement of tree triggers sensor.
Solution: Mount on stable surface.
6. Was sensor wired hot (with power on etc)? If so, circuitry may
have been damaged.
7. Make sure sensor is not aimed within 20 feet of a road
as shown below.
Problem: Passing cars activate sensor.
Solution: A 20 foot safety zone and lower sensitivity are
recommended to avoid activation from passing cars.
8. Make sure heat from lights is not triggering sensor. Make
sure the sensor is below and as far as possible away from
lights.
