Adjusting the motion sensor
detection zone
Ƒ Perform a “walk test”: walk in an arc across
the front of the motion sensor (C).
Ƒ Watch the light. The light will come on
indicating motion has been detected.
Ƒ Stop, wait for the light to turn off, and then
begin walking again.
Ƒ Continue this process until the detection zone
has been established.
5
Adjusting the SENS control
Ƒ To increase the detection zone, turn the
“SENS” dial toward the “ + ” position.
Ƒ To decrease the detection zone, turn the
“SENS” dial toward the “ – ” position.
NOTE: The motion sensor (C) is more sensitive to motion
moving across the front of the sensor. The motion sensor
(C) is less sensitive to motion moving directly toward the
front of the sensor.
NOTE: The higher the “SENS” setting (sensitivity), the
greater the possibility of false triggering. To reduce false
triggering, turn the “SENS” dial toward the “ – ” setting.

Adjusting the TIME control
NOTE: The “TIME” control determines the amount of
time the light will stay on full bright after all motion has
stopped.
Ƒ Turn the “TIME” dial toward the “ + ” position
to increase the light on-time (up to 30
seconds).

Adjusting the LUX control
NOTE: The “LUX” control determines how dark the
surrounding light level needs to be before the motion
sensor (C) will turn on the light when motion is detected.
Ƒ Turn the “LUX” dial toward the “ + ” position to
turn the light on when the surrounding light is
brighter (daytime).
Ƒ Turn the “LUX” dial toward the “ – ” position to
turn the light on when the surrounding light is
darker (nighttime).

Completing motion sensor
setup
Ƒ After all motion sensor (C) adjustments are
complete, rotate the motion sensor (C) so the
controls are facing the rear of the xture (B)
and the two dots are in alignment.
Care and Cleaning
Ƒ To prolong the original appearance, clean the light xture with clear water and a soft, damp cloth only.
Ƒ Do not use paints, solvents, or other chemicals on this light xture. They could cause a premature
deterioration of the nish. This is not a defect in the nish and will not be covered by the warranty.
Ƒ Do not spray the light xture with a hose or power washer.
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Solution
The light will not come on. Ƒ Batteries are dead. Ƒ Replace the batteries.
Ƒ Daylight turn-off (photocell) is in effect. Ƒ Recheck after dark or turn
the “LUX” dial toward the
“ + ” position.
Ƒ The outside air temperature is close to
the same as a person’s body heat.
Ƒ Increase the “SENS”
setting.
The light comes on during the
day.
Ƒ The motion sensor may be installed in a
relatively dark location.
Ƒ The light xture is operating
normally under these
circumstances.
Ƒ The “LUX” control is turned to the “ +”
position.
Ƒ Turn the “LUX” dial toward
the “ – ” position.
