Sensitivity of Motion Sensor
● You can adjust the sensitivity of the motion sensor by using the “SENS”
selector located on the right side of the sensor head. (See Fig.5)
● Adjust motion sensor sensitivity to HIGH (H), MEDIUM (M), or LOW (L) to
achieve desired performance.
● Approximate range for each setting: 70 ft. (H), 50 ft. (M), 30 ft. (L).
Choose a mode by rotating the switch on the bottom of the sensor of the
fixture. (See Fig.5)

Slide the Time switch to the “Test” position.
The light turns to high-level brightness (5000K) when motion is detected. Then it reverts back to low-level brightness
and CCT color 2700K as per setting about 5 seconds after motion is no longer detected.
In "PC" mode, the light turns on at full brightness at dusk and remains on until dawn.
Select "OFF" on mode switch, slide the Time Delay knob to the desired shut-off delay time (30s/1min/3min).
At dusk, the light will remain off, the light will turn on to high-level brightness (at 5000K) whenever
motion is detected, and stays on as long as motion continues.
When the motion is no longer detected, it will remain on for the predetermined shut-off delay time you set
(30s/1min/3min), and then will turn off automatically.
The light will not turn on if motion is detected after dawn.
Select "AUTO" on mode switch, slide the Time switch to the desired shut-off delay time setting
(30s/1min/3min).
At dusk, the light turns on to low-level brightness 30% (2700K). When motion is detected, the light turns to full
brightness (5000K) and stays on as long as motion continues.
When the motion is no longer detected, the light will remain on at full brightness (5000K), for the
predetermined time you set (30s/1min/3min), and then automatically switch back to low-level brightness
30% (2700K).
●At dawn, the light turns off automatically.

5. CUSTOM MODE (nighttime operation only):
● Select "CUSTOM" on mode switch, slide the Time switch to the desired shut-off delay time setting (30s/1min/3min).
● At dusk, the light will initially turn on in early evening setting, at full brightness (2700K), and off at dawn
automatically.
● To set a specific time for the light to transition into late night setting and initiate motion sensor operation you will
utilize the wall switch to which the light is connected. During late night setting, the light will transition to low level
setting (30% brightness at 2700K) and brightens instantly to full brightness at 5000K whenever motion is detected.
● To set the specific transition time, turn the wall switch to "OFF", and back to "ON" two times within 3 seconds. The
light will remember that time and go into late night setting/motion-sensor operation at that specified time every night.
6. MANUAL OVERRIDE (nighttime operation only)
● To temporarily override the settings when in "AUTO" mode
for on-demand continuous high-level brightness at night, turn
the wall switch "OFF" then "ON" twice within 3 seconds, the
light will then remain on all night long.
● To shift back to "AUTO" mode, turn the wall switch "OFF"
then "ON" twice within 3 seconds again. (See Fig.6)
● The light turns off automatically at dawn.

Performance 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.7)
3. The sensor detects movement across a detection range
of 180 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 reflecting object or
other light source.

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.

● When motion is detected, the light turns to full brightness (5000K) and stays on as long as motion continues. When
motion is no longer detected, the light will remain on at full brightness (5000K) for the predetermined time you set
(30s/1min/3min), and then automatically switch back to low-level brightness 30% (2700K).
● To revert the light back to Default, turn the wall switch "OFF" and then turn it back "ON" after 5 seconds.
Note: The default setting will be the same function as "PC Mode" if no specific transition time is set
● For example, a homeowner wants to have the light stay on at full brightness (2700K) from dusk to 8pm and would
then like the light to go into late night/ motion sensor mode from 8pm until dawn. To achieve this, the homeowner
turn the wall switch "OFF" and "ON" twice within 3 seconds at 8pm. This sets the time the light goes into late night/
motion sensor mode every day at 8pm.
