1. The mounting bracket is pre-assembled on the light fixture. Unscrew the
decorative cover, fixture mounting screw in order to remove the mounting
bracket.
2. Install the mounting strap to the outlet box with the stamped word “FRONT”
facing away from the outlet box, using two mounting screws that best fit the
outlet box. Mounting bracket should sit flush against wall surface when
secured. (Choose one matching pair of suitable mounting screws from the 3
pairs provided)
3. Pull out the source wires from the outlet box. Make wire connections using
wire connectors as follows:
---Connect the black wire from the fixture to the “hot” wire from the power
source. (usually black)
---Connect the white wire from the fixture to the neutral wire from the power source. (usually white)
---Connect the grounding wire from the fixture to the grounding wire from the power source. (usually green / yellow
insulation)
Carefully tuck the wires back into the outlet box.
4. Place mounting bracket against the outlet box, insert the mounting bracket screw through the mounting bracket hole,
thread mounting bracket screw into the center hole of the mounting strap. Tighten the mounting bracket screw securely.
▲ When mounting to a wall, the “UP” arrow must point upward. (See Fig. 1)
▲ When mounting to an eave, the “UP” arrow must point toward the building.
5. Attach the back plate of the light fixture to the mounting bracket, secure it with the fixture mounting screw.
6. Push the decorative cover firmly into the fixture mounting screw hole on the light fixture.
7. With silicone caulking compound, caulk completely around where the mounting bracket meets the wall surface.
CAUTION: Be sure to caulk completely where the mounting bracket meets the wall surface to prevent water
from seeping into the outlet box.
Turn off the power at fuse or circuit box.
Turn on the power at fuse or circuit box.

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 control knob facing towards
the ground.

Adjusting the Light Head:
1. Gently grasp the light heads and tilt them up or down, left or
right to adjust the light coverage area. Keep the light heads
at least 1” (25mm) away from the sensor.(See Fig. 5)
2. Keep the light heads 30˚ below horizontal to avoid water
damage and electrical shock.
3. Adjust the light heads up or down, but do not rotate the light
heads more than 60° below horizontal.

Function and Operation
MODES OF OPERATION
Choose a mode by rotating the switch on the bottom of the sensor of the fixture. (See FIG.7 on page 4)
Note: When power is first applied, the light will turn on immediately. Wait for 30 seconds to allow the sensor
to warm up, then the light will automatically turn off.
1. TEST MODE (daytime and nighttime operation.)
●The light will turn on when the switch located on “TEST” position. The light turns on automatically when motion
is detected, and will stay on as long as motion continues. About 5 seconds after motion is no longer detected,
the light turns off automatically.
2. AUTO MODE (nighttime operation only; on at dusk, off at dawn)
● To shift to the “AUTO” mode, rotate knob arrow to point to the desired time setting within the TIME range. At
dusk, the light turns on when motion is detected, and will stay on as long as motion continues. When the
motion stops, the light will remain on for the predetermined time as you set (5 ~ 180 seconds), and then
turns off automatically.
● The light will turn off automatically at dawn.
3. Manual Override (nighttime operation only; on at dusk, off at dawn)
● To temporarily override the settings in “AUTO” mode for
on-demand continuous full-brightness at night, set the
knob arrow to point to TIME range. Turn the wall switch
“OFF”, and turn it “ON” twice within 3 seconds. The light
will remain on all night long. To shift back to the “AUTO”
mode, turn the wall switch “OFF”, and turn it “ON” twice
within 3 seconds again.
● The light will turn off automatically at dawn.
Note: To make sure the above functions operate properly,
always keep the wall switch in the “ON” position
(including the daytime).

2. You can rotate the sensor head up and down to change the coverage area. (See Fig. 2) Walk through the detection
zone at the farthest distance you wish to detect motion.
Note: Range set too high may increase false triggering. (See Fig. 3 and Fig. 4)

Notes:
1. The sensitivity of the motion sensor will increase as the
environmental temperature gets cooler. You may wish to
make adjustments when the season changes.
For best performance, gently clean the lens with a soft
cloth every 1 or 2 months to assure 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.8)
3. The sensor detects movement across a detection range
of 180 degrees. (See Fig.9)
4. The sensor will be more sensitive to motion across its
detection path than motion directly towards it. (See Fig.10)
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 reflecting object or
other 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.
---In TEST Mode, the light stays on over 5 seconds after motion is no longer detected:
1. Make sure the knob arrow is at the TEST position.
2. Cover the sensor with a dark color cloth to verify that motion is not detected.
---In AUTO Mode, the light stays on over 180 seconds after motion is no longer detected:
1. Make sure there is no movement that could be picked up by the sensor.
2. Make sure of that mode entry is not in manual override.
---In Manual override, the light stays on after dawn:
1. The ambient light level may be too low due to overcast skies.

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.

Customization Options:
Shut-off Delay
● The shut-off delay is the length of time the light will stay at
brightness after motion has ceased to be detected.
● You can set the shut-off delay by rotating the delay time
knob arrow so it points to the desired time setting within
“TIME” range. To increase the shut-off delay, turn the
knob clockwise. To decrease the shut-off delay, turn the
knob counterclockwise.
● The light will stay on as long as motion is detected and
will automatically turn off when no more motion is
detected after the shut-off delay time has passed.
