TESTING AFTER INSTALLATION
To facilitate coverage testing, the factory setting for Time Delay is 12 seconds, and the Light
Level is at Maximum.
If you want to test a sensor for intended detection or operation:
1. Make sure that the time delay is set to 12 seconds and the light level is set to maximum
(clockwise to the sun
2. Adjust sensor and lamp holders to the desired position.
3. Ensure that power has been restored to the sensor.
4. Move into the location to be tested; lights should turn on. Stand still. In about 12 seconds
the lights should turn off. Move or walk and the lights should turn on. Repeat this process
to test other locations. Make sensor coverage adjustments as needed (see Coverage
adjustment and Masking, page 2).
Note: When power is restored to the sensor, the lights will turn on for approximately one
minute. (See Security Override, page 9.)
Note: If the lights do not turn on with movement in the area after they have turned off
in step 4, the level of daylight may be too high and the sensor's light level adjustment is
keeping the sensor inactive. Wait until daylight levels have reduced before testing again.
5. See Dial Adjustments, below, for guidelines to adjust the time delay and light level to the
desired settings for operation.
DIAL ADJUSTMENTS
Time Delay and Light Level control dials are located on the bottom of the sensor.
1 . Adjust Time Delay:
The time delay is the amount of time that elapses before lights turn
off since the sensor last detected motion. This can be set from
12 seconds to 16 minutes. For normal operation, the time delay
should be set to 1 minute or more.
• In areas where there is mostly walk through movement, the time
delay amount can be low.
• In areas where people may stop and remain for periods of time,
the time delay should be set to a higher amount, preferably
16 minutes.
2 . Adjust Light Level:
Turning the light level adjustment dial raises or lowers a daylight
level in the sensor. When the light of the day rises above this set level,
the sensor becomes inactive; this keeps the lights off when there is
enough daylight present.
We suggest initially setting the light level adjustment to half way between
minimum and maximum. If a different setting is desired after installation,
then follow the Making Changes procedures, next page.
