Tips & Warnings

• Perform this task with a partner who can hold the fixture in place as you connect wires and use

the screwdriver. Dropping and breaking your new fixture will leave you sad, frustrated.

• Always take an extra dose of patience when working with light fixtures. They do not always

attach smoothly.

• The power must be turned off from your circuit breaker or you will certainly be

electrocuted by live wires. Do not take this instruction lightly.

• Never allow your light fixture to hang by the wires.

Considerations:



The sensor light has a passive infra red system with three sensors. One sensor points straight out,

one to the right and one to the left. These sensors detect movement from a heat signature given off

from all forms of life and moving objects. Be careful not to mount the sensor lamp near items that

move normally as they may unintentionally trigger the system. This would include a close tree that

may move in front of the sensor during a heavy wind. Any moving object has the potential of

triggering the system. This is not necessarily a problem but if the system is set to auto record you

may have additional files that have been recorded of a tree blowing in the wind.

Please see the charts below for detailed coverage information.

Existing Fixture Removal:



TOOLS & MATERIALS



In the following text you will learn the basic steps to install a light fixture. For this example we will

assume that you are replacing an existing light fixture. Tools you may need include the following:

a ladder, Phillips screwdriver, flat or slotted screwdriver, razor knife or box cutter, electrical tape,

voltage tester, and some wire nuts.

The first and most important step is safety. You should always make sure the power to the

electrical box you are working on is turned off. Do this by locating the home’s breaker box and

turning off the appropriate breaker. Never assume that the labels in the breaker box are correct;

they could have been changed over the years. The best method would be to turn the light fixture

to be replaced on and then to turn off breakers one at a time until the light goes out. If the fixture

is broken and will not work you will need to use the voltage meter to determine if the electricity is

actually off. We will discuss this further in the following steps.

Now you are ready to remove the old fixture. Examine the edge of the light fixture where it meets

the wall. Some painters like to caulk around light fixtures to one, provide a seal and two, to

enhance the appearance of their work. If your light fixture appears to be caulked in you will need

to use your razor knife to score the caulk around the light fixture. If you don’t, when you remove

the light fixture it will probably peel off some of the wall paint and/or texture. We would not want

this to happen as it will cause more work. There are hundreds of different types of light fixtures,

and it would be impossible for me to write about how to remove each different kind. So in

general the steps would be as follows.

First remove any glass globes that might be covering the light bulbs, then remove the bulbs

themselves. Now examine the light fixture and look for any decorative screws or nuts. Some

lights like chandeliers will prove to be more difficult in locating the actual screws; others like the

ones where most of the fixture is covered with a glass globe are a lot easier. We will assume the

easier type for this example. After removing the glass globe you should see two screws that hold

the light fixture to the wall. You will want to remove these screws. If the light fixture did not hang

down after the removal of said screws, you can carefully pull down on it taking note to watch for

any caulking that might be damaging your wall. Once the light is hanging down by its wires you

can proceed to the next step. You should see at least three wires. A black, a white, and a green

or bare grounding wire. If you do not see a grounding wire, do not be alarmed; some older

homes and/or fixtures do not have them. Now carefully remove the wire nuts that cover the wires

being careful not to touch the bare end of the wires or allowing them to touch each other. The

old light fixture should be free of the outlet box and can be discarded.

You are now ready to install your sensor light. Remove the fixture from its packaging and lay the

contents out in an orderly fashion.



INSTALLING THE BULB



 Unscrew the lamp cover of the Light and install a 150W J-type lamp included.

 Use gloves or a cloth towel and DO NOT touch the bulb with your hands

 Re-fit the lamp cover and tighten the screws.

WARNING ! ! !

BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY INSTALLATION OR

MAINTENANCE, ENSURE THAT THE

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY IS SWITCHED OFF AND

THE CIRCUIT FUSES REMOVED OR THE

CIRCUIT BREAKER IS IN THE “OFF” POSITION.

8



IMPORTANT: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE INSTALLATION OF

THIS SYSTEM MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.



o The sensor light must be grounded.

o Do not mount the lighting head against any flammable surfaces.

o The motion detector will not operate correctly if it is installed:

• Near the outlet of a central heating boiler

• Near air conditioning.

• Pointing directly at moving vehicles

• Within sight of reflection from moving water

• Where other lamps could shine onto the detector

NOTE: This highly responsive unit may occasionally activate due to rapid environmental

changes. Allow for approximately 30 seconds warm-up time before the sensor resumes normal

activity.

INSTALLATION AND WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

Installation to a junction box using crossbar mount

1. Attach the crossbar to the junction box and tighten with existing screws (C).

2. Attach the mounting plate and weather gasket to the crossbars using the supplied screws

(D). This crossbar will move to fit all standard electrical boxes.

3. Once connected. Pull the existing wires through the mounting plate.

4. Mount the mounting plate to the electrical box. Make sure the wires are exposed and not

touching each other

5. Get help to hold the sensor light in place and start to connect the wiring.

6. Connect the GREEN or ground wire first. This should be connected to the green or bare

wire at the connector box. If there is no ground wire in the connector box, connect this

wire to the green ground screw in the crossbar. This will only be true ground if the

existing electrical box is constructed from metal.

7. Connect the BLACK wire (live wire) from the AC electrical box to the single black wire

coming from Sensor Tracking Light using one of the supplied wire nuts.

8. Connect the WHITE wire from the AC electrical box to the white wire coming from Sensor

Tracking Light using one of the supplied wire nuts.

9. Tape and secure all electrical connections

10. Attach the sensor light to the installed bracket with screw “A”. ( see diagram below)

9



Using new supplied wire nuts connect the black wire of the fixture to the black or wire of the

electrical box, the white wire to the white wire and the green ground wire to the green ground or

bare wire.

Before attaching the light fixture to the electrical box inspect the wires making sure there is not

any bare spots showing that could short out. If you notice one take the electrical tape mentioned

earlier and apply some to the wire. Carefully tuck the wires back into the wall box and attach

fixture to box/bracket. Turn the appropriate breaker back ON and hit the switch. Your light should

be working properly.

LAMP REPLACEMENT

First insure the power has been turned OFF at the main breaker. Allow bulb to cool before attempting

to remove it. Unscrew the lamp cover and take the old lamp out and replace with new one. Always

use gloves or a cloth rag to insert the new bulb as oils from your skin will cause the bulb to burn out

prematurely. Close the lamp cover and tighten the screws. See bulb replacement at the end of this

manual.

WARNING: This fitting will become hot when in use. Allow bulb to cool before touching.

Night Guard software operation:

If your installation process was successful you are now ready to launch the software suite and begin

using the Night Guard system. You will have to digitally synchronize all of the cameras to the

receiver. This will insure a private coded signal so that you are the only one viewing the images.

This is a hand shake between the sensor lights and the USB receiver. To do this, please start the

Night Guard program with the USB receiver in the chosen USB slot. There is a desktop icon that has

been added to your desktop that will launch the program. It will look like the icon below.

Night Guard

Double click the icon and the program will launch. Once the program is running, click Setup and go

to device setup from the top menu. A box will open and it will show 4 cameras. If you only have 1

camera it will be connected to camera one. If you have purchased more than one camera you will

have to repeat this process for each camera installed. You will probably need help with this as

someone will have to be at the computer and someone else will have to be at the sensor light. Please

see the screen shots below that will describe this process.

In the device setup screen you will chose the camera you wish to program. Once this is clicked, you

will have 10 seconds to synchronize the camera. You should communicate with the person by the

camera light to get ready. When the camera Icon is clicked, the person at the light will depress and

hold in the DIP switch programming button on the top of the light until it is registered with the

program. This should take about 5 seconds. Once programmed the screen should show a picture

and the signal strength bars will be displayed. The range of the system is approx. 200 Ft.
