Energy Star; Troubleshooting - Cooper Lighting MS185R Instruction Manual

MOUNTING AND WIRING YOUR FIXTURE
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Disconnect
power at fuse or circuit breaker before installing
or servicing.
NOTE: Fixture can be wall or eave mounted.
NOTE: Coverplate mounts to recessed mounted
standard junction boxes (Fig. 2). Junction box must
be at least 1-1/2 in. in depth for proper installation for
recessed mount application.
1. Install protective reflectors (I) onto lampholders
by lining up the nipples on the covers, over the
lampholder slots. Lock into place by twisting
covers counterclockwise (Fig. 3).
2. Line up the holes on the mounting bracket (H) with
the holes on your junction box. Using either (2) #6
screws or (2) #8 screws (D) (depending on size of
the holes in your junction box), attach the mounting
bracket (H) to your junction box (Fig. 4).
3. Thread fixture wires through coverplate
gasket (B) (Fig. 5).
4. Connect fixture black wire to house black wire,
fixture white wire to house white wire, and copper
colored ground wire (coming from the fixture
coverplate) to house ground wire using wire nuts
(E) provided.
5. Attach fixture (A) to the mounting bracket (H) using
the center bolt (G) provided. Be sure no loose wires
remain sticking out from underneath the coverplate.
Insert plastic color-matched plug (F) in center bolt
hole for finished appearance (Fig. 6).
6. Apply silicone caulk around the edges of the
coverplate to provide a watertight seal from rain
and moisture.
7. Insert lampholder gaskets (C) into lampholder
assembly, tightly against lampholder, and screw
bulbs into each lampholder (Fig. 7). (Do not
overtighten bulbs.)
8. Turn on power at main fuse/breaker box.
OPERATING YOUR FIXTURE
1. Move slide switch on bottom of the sensor
to "TEST". Set sensitivity knob to medium
(halfway) (Fig. 8).
2. Turn on the power to fixture. Allow fixture to warm
up approximately 40 seconds before testing. (Lights
may not come on during warm-up period.)
3. Aim sensor head toward desired detection area,
maintaining a 15° down angle to allow moisture
to drain.
NOTE: Maintain air spacing between lamps and sensor
head, at least 1 in. Make sure sensor head is positioned
with control switches facing towards the ground.
4. Walk across the detection zone at the farthest
distance you wish your detector to detect motion.
5. Adjust sensitivity until you get desired results. Light
will turn off 4 seconds after all motion stops.
NOTE: For maximum range performance, allow fixture
to operate in any mode (with power to the unit) for at
least 48 hours.
6. Move slide switch to 4 min. or 12 min. (AUTO
mode). At dusk lights will operate in the AUTO
setting.

Cause / Solution
No power to the fixture.
• Check if circuit breaker tripped.
• Confirm wall switch is ON.
Bulb is faulty.
• Replace bulb.
Surrounding external ambient light is 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
Wiring to the unit is loose.
• Check wiring, and reconnect if necessary using wire
nuts (E) provided.
There is 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.
• If this is the case, reduce the sensitivity.
• Reposition the sensor.
* If the light stays on with the sensor lens covered, contact
customer service.
There is motion in the detection zone.
• Make sure the sensor is not picking up moving objects such as
trees, traffic, etc.
• Reduce the sensitivity.
• Reposition the sensor.
Unit is in override mode (if there is no motion).
• Turn the light switch to the OFF position for 40 seconds, and then
turn back to the ON position. 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.
