Aiming and Walk Testing
Walk Test:
The purpose of the Walk Test is
to check and adjust the coverage
pattern. STEALTH has a 5 minute Test
Period which allows the sensor to be
aimed and walk-tested day or night.
If you require 5 more minutes of
Test Time, turn the power off for at
least 10 seconds and back on again.
During the Test Period, the sensor
will keep lights on for 5 seconds
each time it detects movement in
its Detection Zone. The sensor will
change to Automatic Mode after 5
minutes of testing.
To enter test mode:
Turn power off for at least 10
seconds and back on again.
1. Aim the sensor across the traffic
pattern you want to detect. Start
by aiming the sensor downward
and then raise it slowly until the
desired range is obtained.
2. Start outside the pattern and
walk across pattern until lights
go on. As distance from the
sensor increases, it will take
more movement to be detected.

3. Adjust the sensor aiming as
needed to improve coverage.
4. To adjust sensitivity, turn knob
gently. Less sensitivity (counter-
clockwise) may be desired if you
wish to detect a limited area or if
the sensor is being activated by
wind, foliage, or animals. More
sensitivity (clockwise) will help
cover a larger area.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 until you are
satisfied with coverage.
6. "Time" is factory set at 5-8
minutes. This period starts after
the movement in the detection
pattern ceases. Turn the time
control counterclockwise for
less time and clockwise for more
time.
7. STEALTH is factory set for
night-only operation. To obtain
24-hour operation, turn the
photocell control full counter-
clockwise. Intermediate settings
will adjust operation during
dawn and dusk.
8. Your sensor is ready for
operation. See "Technical Tips" on
pages 7-11 for additional help.
Technical Tips:
Lights Turn On for Unknown Reasons
1. Lights may turn on occasionally
during rain, snow and windstorms
because the sensor detects
changes in temperature.
Solution: mount sensor in
protected area.
• If false detections constantly
occur, reduce sensitivity (turn
counterclockwise) until the
problem stops.
2. Tilt the sensor lower; it may
register movement from distant
objects.

3. You may not be aware of animals
triggering the sensor. Create an
"Animal Alley" by aiming sensor
or masking the lower portion of
the lens with opaque weather-
proof tape to reduce triggering.

4. Although it is surge and transient
protected, the sensor may
occasionally turn on during
extreme voltage surges.
5. A possible source of "mysterious"
sensor activations are strong
local radio signals. Check for
nearby CB, Ham, VHF radio
transmitters or cellular
telephones. These signals may
activate the sensor, but will not
do permanent damage.
6. Check all the solutions
mentioned under "Lights Turn
On and Off. "
7. Check items #2, 4, 5, 6, and 7
under "Lights Do Not Turn Off. "
