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.)

•Re-aim the head.

•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	Is there motion in the detection zone?
FOR NO APPARENT REASON	• Make sure the sensor is not picking up moving objects
AT NIGHT	such as trees, traffic, etc.
	TEST FOR YOURSELF
	• Cover the sensor lens with cardboard to prevent
	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.
	Is the unit in the AUTO mode?
	• Make sure the unit is not in one of the three Night Time On
	modes.
LIGHTS STAY ON AT NIGHT	Is there motion in the detection zone?
AND DO NOT TURN OFF	• 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 90 seconds,
	and then back to the “ON” position. This will send the unit
	back into the AUTO mode.
	*If the lights continue to stay on, contact customer
	service.
	Is the unit in the AUTO mode?
	• Make sure the unit is not in one of the three Night Time
	On modes.
LIGHTS CONTINUOUSLY BLINK	The light given off from the unit’s own lamp(s) is affecting the
ON AND OFF AT NIGHT	motion sensor.
	• Re-aim lamp(s).
	• Reposition motion sensor.
LIGHTS ARE ON	Is the switch on the bottom of the motion sensor in the test
DURING THE DAY	mode?
	• Move the switch to the AUTO 4, AUTO 12, or Night Time
	On position.
	Is the motion detector shadowed?
	• Reposition motion sensor.
CANNOT ACTIVATE DUSK TO	Is the surrounding external ambient light too bright? (If so, the
DAWN MODE AT NIGHT	unit may think it’s daytime.)
(OVERRIDE)	• Re-aim the head.
	• Relocate or reposition the unit away from the light.
	Are you allowing adequate time to enter the dusk to dawn
	mode?
	• Turn the light switch to the “OFF” position for 5 seconds,
	and then back to the “ON” position.
	Is there more than one fixture on an indoor wall switch?
	• If so, put them on separate switches.
