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 the bulb is not burned out or broken.
Is the surrounding ambient light too bright? (If so, the unit may
think it is 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.
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 prevent sensor
from detecting motion. If the light stays off, something in
the detection zone is triggering the sensor.
• Repostion the sensor.
*If the light stays on with the sensor lens covered, contact
customer service.
Is there motion in the detection zone?
• Make sure the sensor is not picking up moving objects
such as trees, traffic, etc.
• Reposition the 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 turn back to the "ON" postion. This will send the
unit back into the AUTO mode.
*If the light stays on with the sensor lens covered, contact
customer service.
The light given from the unit's own lamp is affecting the
motion sensor.
• Re-aim the lamp.
• Reposition motion sensor.
Are the controls on the bottom of the motion sensor in the
test mode?
• Adjust the control to the AUTO 1, 5 or 10 postion.
Is the motion detector shadowed?
• Reposition motion sensor.
Is the surrounding external ambient light too bright? (If so, the
unit may think it is daytime).
• 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 and ON position twice
within 4 seconds. The interval between first and second
operation must be within 0.5 to 2 seconds.
Is there more than one fixture on an indoor wall switch?
• If so, put them on separate switches.
