T0169 / T0461
Features:
1. Energy saving LED fixture.
2. Motion sensor: turns light ON automatically when
motion is detected and turns light OFF automatically
when motion stops.
3. Photocell keeps the light OFF during daylight hours.
4. When in manual override mode, use wall switch
to keep the light ON during the night.
WARNING:
TO AVOID RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, BE SURE TO SHUT OFF
POWER WHILE INSTALLING OR SERVICING THIS FIXTURE.
Note: Fixture can be wall mounted or eave mounted.
Wall Mounted Eave Mounted
Light fixture and sensor should be mounted as shown above when installed (depending upon type of installation)
Before installing the light fixture under an eave, the sensor head must be rotated as shown in the next two steps for
proper operation and to avoid the risk of electrical shock.
For eave mounted only:
Swing the sensor head towards the back plate Rotate the sensor head clockwise 180˚ so the controls face down.

Decorative cover (C)
1. 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.
2. 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 black wire from the power source.
---Connect the white wire from the fixture to the white wire from the power source.
---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.
3. Attach the back plate of the light fixture to the mounting bracket, secure it with the fixture mounting screw.
4. Push the decorative cover firmly into the fixture mounting screw hole on the light fixture.
5. With silicone caulking compound, caulk completely around where the back plate meets the wall surface.
CAUTION: Be sure to caulk completely where the back plate meets the wall surface to prevent water from
seeping into the outlet box.

Adjusting the Sensor Head:
1. Aim sensor head toward desired detection area, maintaining a 5° - 15°
downward angle to allow moisture to drain.
Note: Make sure sensor head is positioned with control knob facing
towards the ground.
2. You can move 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.

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. 4)
● Adjust motion sensor sensitivity to achieve desired performance.
● Approximate range for each setting from 10ft to 70ft.
Adjusting the Light Head:
1. Gently grasp the light heads and move 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.
Light Head
Function and Operation
Note: When power is first applied, the light will turn on to 100% brightness. The sensor will take 30+/-10 seconds
to warm up.
1. Test mode
1. Slide the slide switch to the “TEST” position on the bottom of the sensor head.
2. Turn on the circuit breaker and light switch. Allow the fixture to warm up approximately 40 seconds before testing.
(Lights may come on during warm-up period.) Then the light will turn to low-level brightness (400 lumen)
automatically.
3. The light will turn to high-level brightness when motion is detected, and stays on as long as the motion is continuing.
It will then revert to low-level brightness (400 lumen) about 5 seconds after motion is no longer detected.
2. Manual mode(nighttime operation only)
1. Place the slide switch in the ON position. At dusk, the light will turn to low-level brightness (400 lumen). The light will
turn to high-level brightness when motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion is continuing. When the
motion stops, the light will remain on for the predetermined time set (5 ~ 180 seconds), and then revert to low-level
brightness.
2. Place the slide switch in the OFF position. At dusk, the light will turn to high-level brightness automatically when motion
is detected, and stays on as long as the motion is continuing. When the motion stops, the lights will remain on for the
predetermined time set (5 ~ 180 seconds), then the light will turn off automatically.
3. Manual Override mode (nighttime operation only)
1. To shift to the manual override mode, set the slide switch
to “ON” or “OFF” mode. 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 “ON” or “OFF” mode, turn the
wall switch “OFF”, and turn it “ON” twice within 3 seconds
again. (See Fig.6)
2. 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).

Troubleshooting
---The light will not come on.
1. Turn the light switch on.
2. Replace the fuse or turn the circuit breaker on.
3. Recheck after dark.
4. Verify the wiring is correct.
5. Re-aim the motion sensor to cover the desired area.
---The light comes on during the day.
1. The light fxture is operating normally under these circumstances.
2. Set the “ON/OFF” switch to the ON position.
---The lights flash on and off.
1. Reposition the lamp heads away from the motion sensor.
2. Decrease the sensitivity setting or reposition the motion sensor.
---The lights stay on continuously.
1. Decrease the sensitivity setting or reposition the motion sensor.
2. Do not use a dimmer or timer to control the light fxture.
3. Install the light fxture on a circuit without motors, transformers, or fuorescent bulbs
---The light comes on for no apparent reason.
1. Reposition the motion sensor.
2. Reduce the sensitivity.
3. Decrease the sensitivitysetting.
4. Do not use a dimmer or timer to control the light fixture.
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 clear water and a soft, samp
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.

Shut-off Delay
1. The shut-off delay is the length of time the light will stay at brightness after motion has ceased to be detected.
2. 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.
