Troubleshooting (continued)
Problem
The light comes on for no
apparent reason.
The lights turn off too late
in Dusk-to-Dawn setting.
The lights stay on
continuously.
The lights flash on and
off.
The light keeps flickering
or does not come on.
Possible Cause
□
The motion sensor may be sensing
small animals or automobile traffic.
□
The HI-LO switch is set to Dusk-to-
Dawn or Dusk Timer mode.
The light fixture may be installed in a
relatively dark location.
□
The motion sensor is in manual
mode.
□
A lamp is positioned too close to the
motion sensor or pointed at nearby
objects that cause heat to trigger the
motion sensor.
□
The motion sensor may be picking
up a heat source like an air vent,
dryer vent, or brightly painted, heat-
reflective surface.
□
The light fixture is on the same
circuit as a motor, transformer, or
fluorescent bulb.
□
Heat or light from the lamp head may
be turning the motion sensor On and
Off.
□
Heat is being reflected from other
objects and may be turning the
motion sensor on and off.
□
The motion sensor is in "TEST" mode
and warming up.
□
The bulbs are not dimmable.
□
The dimmable bulb is incompatible
with the HI-LO feature.
□
Re-aim the motion sensor.
□
The light fixture is operating
normally under these
circumstances.
Reset the light level (LUX) at which the
sensor operates with the Dusk Learn
button. This will allow you to reset the
outside light level at which the motion
sensor becomes active and the HI-LO
feature operates.
□ Turn the light switch that
operates the fixture Off and
back On again within 0.2 to 1.5
seconds.
□
Reposition the lamp away from
the motion sensor or nearby
objects.
□
Reposition the motion sensor.
□
Install the light fixture on a circuit
without motors, transformers, or
fluorescent bulbs.
□
Reposition the lamp head away
from the motion sensor.
□
Reposition the motion sensor.
□
Flashing is normal under these
conditions.
□
Turn the HI-LO knob to OFF
position.
□
Replace with a compatible
dimmable bulb or connect an
extra, compatible dimmable bulb
in parallel.
