Multiple sensors:

Power Quality:
Wiring more than one sensor together is
recommended only for the experienced
installer because it becomes difficult to
troubleshoot. Single sensors that control
their own lights pinpoint movement more
accurately and operate better.
Sensors should not be installed on a circuit
that also feeds motor loads such as HVAC
equipment, kitchen appliances, or garage
door openers. If voltage varies significantly
from 120 volts, sensors may malfunction.

How Does RAB's SmartBox Work?
The SmartBox infrared sensor "sees"
small temperature changes caused by
the motion of people or cars within
its detection zone and turns on lights
automatically. It welcomes visitors and may
deter intruders.
How long do the lights stay on?
Lights remain on as long as there is
movement within the Detection Zone.
Once the zone is vacated, lights can be
adjusted to remain on approximately 5
seconds up to 15 minutes.
Will the sensor detect animals?
SmartBox may detect large animals.
Having animals trigger the sensor can
give property a "lived-in" look. You can
limit animal detection by placing opaque
weatherproof tape on the lower part of the
lens or using the bottom mask on the Lens
Mask Kit provided.

What does Manual Override do?
Keep lights on by flipping the wall switch
two times within 5 seconds. Sensor resets
to auto mode at dawn. No extra wiring
needed.
How are the Time, Sensitivity and
Photocell adjusted?
TimeControl: Sets the time that lights
will remain on after the Detection Zone
is vacated from approximately 5 seconds
to 15 minutes. Use the adjustment tool
provided to turn clockwise to increase the
time. Factory Setting: 5-8 minutes.
Photocell Control: For night only
operation, use the tool provided or a small
screwdriver to turn the Photocell Control
all the way counter-clockwise (to the moon
symbol). For operation in low level lights,
turn the knob all the way clockwise (to
the sun symbol). Adjust counterclockwise
to have the sensor come on later at dusk,
clockwise to have it come on earlier.
Turning photocell control will show when
the sensor "thinks" the current ambient
light level = night, because the lights will
turn on. Factory setting : Night Only
Sensitivity: Increases or decreases the
responsiveness and range of the sensor.
Control Panel:
Turn controls gently using adjustment tool
provided. Do not force past stops.
