---

What do I do after I tighten the mounting screw? Insert mounting screw cap (CC) into the mounting screw hole. DO NOT overtighten.

---

How should the fixture be mounted if it’s wall-mounted? If wall mounted, make sure the fixture is mounted with the sensor below the lamp heads.

---

How should the fixture be mounted if it’s eave mounted? If eave mounted, rotate the sensor 180° so the controls face the ground.

---

How do I attach the reflector to the fixture body? Align the slots on the reflector (B) on the fixture body. Turn the reflector clockwise until it locks into place.

---

What should I do after mounting the fixture? After mounting the fixture, apply silicone caulking compound completely around the perimeter of the cover plate where the back of the cover plate meets the mounting surface. Silicone caulking prevents water from seeping into the junction box.

---

How should the lamp head be rotated after wall mounting? The lamp head should be rotated downward 30° after wall mounting to avoid water damage.

---

What type of lamps should I use? Use only type PAR38 lamps (PAR38, PAR38 CFL, PAR38 LED).

---

What is the next step after the installation is complete? Turn on power at the circuit breaker and flip the wall switch to the ON position.

---

What position should the wall switch remain in for the motion detector to work properly? The wall switch must remain in the ON position for the motion detector to work properly.

---

What is the TEST mode setting description? The sensor will detect movement and the light will activate regardless of time of day. After movement has stopped or left the coverage area, the light will remain on for about 5 seconds, then turn off.

---

What is the SECURITY mode setting description? At dusk, the motion sensor becomes active. 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 of 1, 3, or 10 minutes, then turn off. The motion sensor will remain active throughout the night. At dawn, the motion sensor will deactivate and remain deactivated throughout the day. Movement will not cause the light to turn on.

---

What are the distance settings for the SECURITY mode?

• L: Up to 20-30 ft.
• M: Up to 40-50 ft.
• H: Up to 60-70 ft.

---

What is the maximum range the fixture will detect in the default H setting? In the default H setting, the fixture will detect the max range, approximately 70 ft.

---

How long is the sensor warm up period before it will detect motion? The sensor has a 14 second warm-up period before it will detect motion. When turned on, please wait 14 seconds.

---

If motion is continuously detected during the fixture’s “ON” cycle, what will happen? If motion is continuously detected during the fixture’s “ON” cycle, the light will remain on for the preset time limit of 1, 3 or 10 minutes, then turn off.

---

How do I manually override the SECURITY mode? Force the fixture to override SECURITY mode so the light will stay on. Turn the light on manually from the wall switch. In SECURITY mode: with the fixture already in the ON position, flip the wall switch off and then back on in 3 seconds.

---

How do I revert back to the previous mode after manually overriding SECURITY mode? There are two ways to revert back to the previous mode:

1. Once again flip the wall switch off, wait for 10 seconds and then back on.
2. If you leave the light on, the light will stay on for about 6 hours, then return.

---

What is the coverage area of the motion detector? The motion detector has a coverage area of about 180°.

---

What should I do when the light is first installed to achieve the desired area? When the light (A) is first installed, you must aim the detector head to cover the desired area.

---

What must be adjusted to achieve maximum distance? To achieve max distance, the sensor angle will need to be adjusted according to the height at which the fixture is installed.

---

What are the recommended sensor angles for different assembly heights?

Assembly Height (ft.)	Recommended Sensor Angle	Dead Zone (ft.) (Dash area)	Max Distance (ft.)
6	89°	1.5	65
7	87°	2	65
8	85°	2.5	65
9	80°	3.5	65
11	79°	4.5	65
13	74°	6.5	65

---

What should I consider regarding the ambient temperature and detection distance? At an ambient temperature of 77°F, the detection distance is at max. 65 ft. As the temperature increases or decreases, the detection distance will be reduced.

---

What is the first step in testing and adjustments? Turn on the wall switch.

---

What is the next step after the wall switch is turned on? Switch to TEST position.

---

What should I do when walking through the coverage area in TEST mode? Walk through the coverage area noting where you are when the fixture turns on. Also, the indicator light will flash several times when motion is detected.

---

What should I adjust if needed, to change the detection zone? If needed, adjust the motion sensor to change the detection zone.

---

What should I adjust if needed, to change the light coverage area? If needed, adjust the lamp heads to change the light coverage area.

---

What should I do to change the sensitivity? If you need to change the sensitivity, set the DISTANCE switch to the desired position (L, M, or H).

---

What should I do to change the time setting? Change the time setting to the amount of time the fixture should remain on after motion is detected (1 min., 3 min., or 10 min.).

---

What should I avoid aiming the sensor at? Avoid aiming the sensor at:

• Objects that might produce heat and may cause false triggers, such as:
  • Pools of water
  • Air conditioners
  • Animals
  • Automobile traffic
  • Heating vents
  • Dryer vents
