3. Fuse is blown or circuit breaker is turned off.
4. Daylight turn-off is in effect.
5. Sensor not detecting movement.
6. Incorrect circuit wiring, if this is a new installation.
7. The outside air temperature is close to the same as a person's
body heat.

reason. 2. Sensitivity is set too high.
3. The "DUALBRITE" switch is in the 3 hour, 6 hour, or dusk-
to-dawn setting.
4. The outside temperature is much warmer or cooler than a
person's body heat (summer or winter).
5. The light fixture is wired through a dimmer or timer.
Lights stay on 1. The sensor may be picking up a heat source like an air vent,
continuously. dryer vent, or brightly painted, heat-reflective surface.
2. The motion sensor is in manual mode.
3. Light control is in DualBrite® mode.
4. Sensitivity is set too high.
5. The light fixture is wired through a dimmer or timer.
6. The light fixture is on the same circuit as a motor, transformer,
or fluorescent bulb.

and off. 2. Heat being reflected from other objects may be affecting the
sensor.
Seasonal Temperature Changes – The closer the surrounding temperature is to a person's body heat, the less sensitive the sensor will appear. The greater
the temperature difference, the more sensitive the sensor will appear. The SENS control might need to be readjusted toward MIN or MAX as the outside
temperature changes for the different seasons. This is a normal part of the light sensor's operation.

SOLUTION
1. Turn light switch on.
2. Check bulb and replace if burned out.
3. Replace fuse or turn circuit breaker on.
4. Recheck after dark.
5. Adjust sensitivity control.
6. Verify wiring is correct.
7. Increase the "Sensitivity" setting.
1. The fixture is operating normally under these conditions.
2. Set the "ON-TIME" switch to the 1, 5, or 10 minute setting.
1. Reduce sensitivity.
2. Reduce sensitivity.
3. The light fixture is operating normally under these circumstances.
4. Reduce sensitivity.
5. Do not use a dimmer or timer to control the light fixture. Replace
the dimmer or timer with a standard on/off wall switch.
1. Reduce sensitivity.
2. Switch the motion sensor to auto. See Manual mode on page 7.
3. Slide DualBrite® switch to OFF position.
4. Reduce sensitivity.
5. Do not use a dimmer or timer to control the light fixture. Replace
the dimmer or timer with a standard on/off wall switch.
6. Install the light fixture on a circuit without motors, transformers,
or fluorescent bulbs.
1. Flashing is normal under these conditions.
2. Reduce sensitivity.
