NTRODUCTION
Your Motion Monitor consists of a main sensor head, dual floodlight lamp holders (bulbs not
included) and a mounting plate. It is designed to be installed indoors or outdoors and should be
mounted on a standard round electrical wall box. When someone approaches your home, the
connected floodlights turn on, and turn off after the delay you set. The unit can also be set to
turn on lights inside your home. You connect these lights to X10 modules (sold separately). You
can set these lights to turn on when motion is detected and/or when it gets dark.
Locating the Motion Monitor
Consider the following points when choosing a location to install the Motion Monitor:
• The Motion Monitor must be at least 6-8 ft. above the ground and be parallel to the
ground. At a 6 ft. height it will have a detection range of approximately 30 ft.
• The floodlights should be aimed away from the Sensor.
• Direct sunlight should not fall on the Motion Monitor lens.
• The Motion Monitor should not face reflective surfaces such as a swimming pool or
large windows.
• Do not mount the Motion Monitor over heat producing vents or air conditioning
units.
• The Motion Monitor cannot "see" through glass.
Note: The sensor "sees" a moving object by detecting a change in temperature. If
you install and set up the Motion Monitor on a very hot day, it will be difficult for the
sensor to detect the difference between the heat from your body and the background
temperature. (At a background temperature of 98.6° F you are invisible to the
sensor). In very hot weather it is recommended that you make test adjustments in the
evening when it is cooler.
Poor location
(movement directly
toward sensor may
not be detected)
Good location
(movement in any
direction will cross sensor
beams and be detected)

SSEMBLING THE PARTS
The Motion Monitor mounting plate is designed to fit a standard round outdoor
electrical junction box (not included).
Referring to the diagram below:
1. Screw the base of each lamp holder into the outer holes on the mounting plate.
2. Rotate the locking ring on each lamp holder towards the plate until the lamp holder
is secure against the plate.
3. Screw the threaded end of the Motion Monitor into the center hole on the mounting
plate.
4. Lock the Motion Monitor into place using the locking ring.
5. Locate each lamp holder's WHITE wire and one of the WHITE wires from the
Motion Monitor and twist all three wires together using a wire nut (supplied).
6. Locate each BLACK wire from the lamp holders and connect them both to the BLUE
wire from the Motion Monitor, again using a wire nut.
7. Make sure no bare whiskers of wire stick out from the wire nuts (cover with electrical
tape if necessary).
