What to do if . . .
OUTDOOR LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON WITH MOTION AT NIGHT
Is there power to the fixture?
•Check to see that the circuit breaker has not been tripped.
•Be sure the wall switch is in the “ON” position.
•Be sure that the bulbs are not burned out or broken.
Is the surrounding external ambient light too bright? (If so the unit may think it’s daytime.)
•
•Relocate or reposition the unit away from the
light.
TURN OFF POWER BEFORE CONTINUING. Is the wiring to the fixture loose?
•Check wiring, and reconnect if necessary using wire nuts provided.
ENGLISH
OUTDOOR LIGHTS COME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON AT NIGHT
Is there motion in the detection zone?
• Make sure the sensor is not picking up moving objects such as trees, traffic, etc.
TEST FOR YOURSELF
•Cover the sensor lens with cardboard to pre- vent sensor from detecting motion. If the lights stay off, something in the detection zone is triggering the sensor.
•If this is the case, reduce the sensitivity.
•Reposition motion sensor.
*If the lights stay on with sensor lens covered, contact customer service.
LIGHTS STAY ON AT NIGHT AND DO NOT TURN OFF
Is there motion in the detection zone?
•Make sure the sensor is not picking up moving objects such as trees, traffic, etc.
•If this is the case, reduce the sensitivity.
•Reposition motion sensor.
If there is no motion, then the unit may be in the override mode.
•Turn the light switch to the “OFF” position for 40 seconds, and then back to the “ON” posi- tion. This will send the unit back into the AUTO mode.
*If the lights continue to stay on, contact customer service.
