Technical Tips:
Lights Turn On and Off Inappropriately
1.
Make sure the sensor is installed on its own dedicated circuit, free of
motor loads such as HVAC equipment, kitchen appliances or garage
door openers.
2.
It is not recommended to wire sensors in parallel. More than one sensor
wired together makes them difficult to troubleshoot. Disconnect
multiple sensors and test separately.
3.
Keep all people completely out of the detection pattern to make sure
the sensor is not detecting them.
4.
Make sure sensor is located below and
as far as possible from its lights. Heat from
the lights may trigger the sensor.
Solution: Move sensor below and away
from the lights.
5.
Make sure lights are not reflecting back into sensor. Check for white or
reflective surfaces close to the sensor.
Solution: Aim sensor away from reflective
objects, or move the objects and lower sensitivity.
6.
Make sure sensor is not aimed within 20 feet of a road or sidewalk. Pass-
ing cars will activate sensor.
Solution: A 20 foot safety zone and reduced sentivity
are recommended to avoid activation from passing cars.
7.
Heavy rain, snow or high winds may activate the sensor occasionally.
Reduce sensitivity control slightly until problem stops.
8.
Moths can be attracted to the lights and fly close to the sensor causing
triggering. Reducing the sensitivity may help.
9.
Check Solutions #3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 under "Lights Do Not Turn OFF".

Technical Tips:
Lights Do Not Turn On
1.
Check that lamps and fixtures work. Compare wiring to the wiring dia-
gram in this manual. Check that the power is on.
2.
If installing during daylight, LED will go into automatic mode after 30
sec warm up period and will not work during daylight if the photocell is
turned to the night only position (moon symbol).
If you require a test mode, turn time setting to 5 seconds and turn the
power off at least 10 seconds and back on again.
If you require the sensor to operate
EVENING
both day and night, turn the
TIMER
SUN/MOON control knob
clockwise to the sun and moon
1
8 HRS
symbol.
3.
Check that lights from another source, such as adjacent porch lights,
garden lights or street lights are not in the sensor's view. The sensor's
photocell may detect the light and deactivate "daylight".
If you desire the sensor to operate
EVENING
in higher ambient light levels, turn
TIMER
the SUN/MOON control knob
1
8 HRS
counter clockwise toward the
sun symbol.
4.
Was sensor wired hot? If so circuitry may have been damaged.
