The sensor is less sensitive to motion directly towards it and more sensitive to motion across coverage area.

The sensor on this light fixture detects “motion” by the movement of heat (body heat) across the coverage area. However, following are examples of objects that also produce heat and can cause the sensor to false trigger:
• Pools of Water | • Air Conditioners |
• Dryer Vents | • |
• Heating Vents | • Automobile Traffic |
If you suspect that a heat source of this type is falsely triggering the sensor and reducing the sensitivity does not solve the problem, then a lens shield (included) can be installed. The plastic lens shield is divided into 6 sections. Each section will reduce the coverage angle by 30 degrees. Also, the tip of each section may be removed to change the effective range of the sensor.

1.Break off the amount of lens shield needed to block the desired area of coverage.
2.Cut desired amount of foam tape needed to adhere the lens shield to the sensor lens.
3.Remove paper backing from one side of cut foam tape and adhere foam tape to inside of lens shield.
4.Removepaperbackingfromothersideofcutfoam tape and adhere lens shield to sensor lens.

5.Retest to confirm that the sensor is no longer false triggering.
Note: To help determine amount of lens shield required, apply small sections one at a time. Ad- ditional sections can be applied if necessary.
