HARDWARE CONTENTS
Note: Illustrations may vary from actual unit.
LIGHT FIXTURE INSTALLATION
For best performance, mount the fixture about 6 feet (1.8 m) above the ground.
- Remove two decorative nuts.
- Remove mounting plate.
- Tighten mounting screws finger tight.
- Attach mounting plate to junction box.
Note: We recommend having an assistant help hold the lantern assembly during the wiring process.
This fixture comes with a universal mounting bracket. It is pre-assembled on the fixture to fit the majority of junction box applications.
If the slots on the mounting plate do not line up with the junction box screw holes, follow these steps:
- Remove the fixture mounting screws from the mounting plate. Note: Do not remove the ground screw.
- Attach ground wire “pigtail” to ground screw on mounting plate (See Recommended Grounding Method for additional information).
- Flip the mounting plate over.
- Rotate the mounting plate so the wire path is on the upper right. Note: The wire path on the mounting plate must be located as shown below to allow the wires on the back of the fixture to pass through.
- Reinstall the fixture mounting screws and attach the mounting plate to the junction box as shown.
WIRING THE LIGHT FIXTURE
WARNING: Turn power off at circuit breaker or fuse.
Note: All wiring must be run in accordance with the National Electrical Code through conduit or another acceptable means. Contact a qualified electrician if there is any question as to the suitability of the system.
CAUTION: DO NOT connect the RED wire unless you want to control other lights from the motion sensor (see Optional Wiring).
Connect the fixture wires to the wires in the junction box. Twist the wires together and secure with wire connectors.
Recommended Grounding Method
Use a green ground “pigtail” (not provided) and twist one end together with the bare fixture wire and the box ground wire. Secure with a wire connector. Secure the other end of the “pigtail” with the GND screw on the mounting plate.
If you have a metal junction box, you may not need the green “pigtail”. If you are unsure about the grounding method, consult your local building code.
OPTIONAL WIRING
This fixture is provided with a sensor rated for 500 Watts. Since the fixture is only rated 60 Watts, 440 Watts of additional lighting may be controlled by this sensor.
When determining what a fixture is rated for, do not simply look at the rating on the light bulb in the fixture. Look at the marking which specifies the maximum bulb wattage for which the fixture is suitable. Once you have selected the fixtures to be connected and determined their maximum ratings, add these ratings up. For instance, if you have 3 fixtures rated 60 Watts, 150 Watts, and 100 Watts respectively, you have a total load of 310 Watts.
Wiring Diagram 1 – When wiring to control a standard light fixture: Strip the motion sensor’s red wire and connect to the standard light’s black wire. Connect all white wires together. Total fixture ratings must not exceed 500 Watts (4.1 A).
Wiring Diagram 2 – When wiring to control another motion sensing light fixture (Primary / Controlled): Strip the red wire in both light fixtures. Connect the red wire of the controlling (Primary) fixture to the red and black wires of the controlled (Controlled) fixture. Connect all white wires together. Total fixture ratings must not exceed 500 Watts (4.1 A).
Wiring Diagram 3 – When wiring so either motion light turns on the both motion lights (Primary / Primary): Strip the red wire in both light fixtures. Connect the red wire of one fixture to the red wire of the second fixture. Note: In most installations, an additional wire (same gauge as existing house wire) will have to be installed in the house to connect the two fixtures as Primary / Primary. Connect all white wires together and all black wires together. Total fixture ratings must not exceed 500 Watts (4.1 A).
MOUNTING THE LIGHT FIXTURE
- Make sure wire connectors and wires are inside the junction box.
- Slide the fixture assembly onto the mounting screws. Tighten decorative nuts removed in step 1 of Light Fixture Installation section securely against fixture base.
- Install one medium base light bulb (60 Watt maximum, tungsten incandescent).
TESTING AND ADJUSTMENTS Initial Setup
The TEST mode overrides the photocell (daylight shutoff feature) and allows the light fixture to be tested day or night when the ON-TIME switch is in the TEST position. The light will stay on for 5 seconds after all motion has stopped.
- Set the ON-TIME control to TEST.
- Turn on the circuit breaker or fuse and the light switch.
- Allow the sensor to completely warm up (90 seconds) before beginning the setup process.
- Perform a walk test. Walk in an arc across the front of the sensor.
Move the sensor head left or right to change the coveragearea.
- Adjust the sensitivity (SENS) to increase or decrease the range as needed. Too much sensitivity may cause false triggering due to heat sources in the coverage area (see Testing and Adjustments or Troubleshooting section).
- Set the amount of ON-TIME you want the light to stay on after motion is detected (1, 5, or 10 minutes).
- Caulk around fixture base with silicone weather sealant after all Testing and Adjustments are complete.

resets to Auto Mode at dawn
Note: When first turned on wait about 1 1/2 minutes for the circuitry to calibrate.
- Motion Sensor (AUTO) – This light fixture is designed to automatically turn on when the sensor detects a temperature difference moving across the front of the motion sensor. The light will turn off automatically after a set amount of time. The ON-TIME control should be set to 1, 5, or 10 minute setting and the wall switch should be left in the ON position at all times.
- Manual Mode – This light can be activated to stay on full bright after dusk (sunset) for only one night at a time. It automatically resets to motion sensing at dawn (sunrise). Manual mode must be re-activated each night. Note: If power to the light fixture is off for more than 5 seconds, allow the electronic circuitry in the sensor to calibrate (90 seconds) prior to switching to manual mode.
- To turn on MANUAL mode, switch the light off at the wall switch for 1 to 2 seconds and then back on.
- To return to AUTO mode, switch the light off at the wall switch for 1 to 2 seconds and then back on.
Note: The sensor will also reset to AUTO mode at sunrise
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
- To prolong the original appearance, clean with clear water and a soft damp cloth only.
- Do not use paints, solvents, or other chemicals on this light fixture. They could cause a premature deterioration of the finish. This is not a defect in the finish and will not be covered by the warranty.
- Do not spray with hose or power washer.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
