SELECTING A LOCATION


When selecting a location, be aware of
the motion sensor's maximum range of
30 ft. and 220º detection angle.

Be aware of its 15º detection down-angle
(from horizontal).

Mounting the fixture too high or in front of
a sloped surface, such as an uphill
walkway or driveway, may affect the
motion sensor's effectiveness.

Select locations away from heat sources,
such as heating vents, air conditioners,
and heated swimming pools.

Be aware that the motion sensor is more sensitive to
movement across its coverage area and less
sensitive to movement toward or away from the
motion sensor.

Select locations away from nighttime light sources,
such as street lamps or other light fixtures. They
may shine light onto the fixture's photocell sensor
(located at the bottom of the back plate, between the
two switches) This light might cause the circuit to
"think" that it is daytime and not allow the fixture's
functions to operate.

Be aware that shade from a porch or an eave may
not allow enough daylight to shine onto the photocell
sensor and may cause the circuit to "think" that it is
nighttime, and subsequently cause the light to come
on during the daytime.

Be aware that motorized equipment, such as power
tools, on the same electrical circuit may cause
oscillations on the electrical line which might cause
the fixture to malfunction
