•  Objects that change temperature rapidly, such as 

heating vents and air conditioners. These heat 
sources could cause false triggering.

•  Areas where pets or traffi c may trigger the control.

•  Nearby large, light-colored objects refl ecting light 

may trigger the shut-off feature. Do not point other

❒  Loosen the clamp screw in the 

sensor ball joint and gently 
rotate the sensor to aim.

❒  Walk through the coverage 

area noting where you are 
when the lights turn on. Move 
the sensor head up, down, or 
sideways to change the cover-
age area. Keep the sensor at 
least 1" (25 mm) away from 
the lamps.

❒  Set SENSITIVITY as needed. 

Too much sensitivity may 
increase false triggering.

❒  Secure the sensor head into 

position by tightening the 
clamp screw. Do not over-
tighten the screw.

❒  Set the amount of TIME the 

lights stay on after motion is 
detected. It is selectable from 1, 5, or 10 minutes.
