Problem Possible Cause Solution
The light comes on during the
day.
Ƒ The motion sensor may be installed in a
relatively dark location.
Ƒ The light xture is operating
normally under these
circumstances.
Ƒ The “TIME” control is in the “TEST”
position.
Ƒ Turn the “TIME” control
between the 10S and
10MIN setting.
The light comes on for no
apparent reason.
Ƒ The motion sensor may be sensing
small animals or automobile trafc.
Ƒ Decrease the “SENSITIVITY”
setting or reposition the
motion sensor.
Ƒ The “SENSITIVITY” control is set too
high.
Ƒ Decrease the “SENSITIVITY”
setting.
Ƒ The outside temperature is much
warmer or cooler than a person’s body
heat (summer or winter).
Ƒ Decrease the “SENSITIVITY”
setting.
Ƒ The light xture is wired through a
dimmer or timer.
Ƒ Do not use a dimmer or
timer to control the light
xture. Replace the dimmer
or timer with a standard on/
off wall switch.
The lights stay on continuously. Ƒ The motion sensor may be picking up a
heat source, such as an air vent, dryer
vent, or brightly painted, heat-reective
surface.
Ƒ Decrease the “SENSITIVITY”
setting or reposition the
motion sensor.
Ƒ The motion sensor is in manual mode. Ƒ Switch the motion sensor
to auto. See Using manual
mode on page 9.
Ƒ The light xture is wired through a
dimmer or timer.
Ƒ Do not use a dimmer or
timer to control the light
xture. Replace the dimmer
or timer with a standard on/
off wall switch.
Ƒ The light xture is on the same circuit
as a motor, transformer, or uorescent
bulb.
Ƒ Install the light xture on
a circuit without motors,
transformers, or uorescent
bulbs.
The lights ash on and off. Ƒ Heat or light from the lamp heads may
be turning the motion sensor on and
off.
Ƒ Reposition the lamp heads
away from the motion
sensor.
Ƒ Heat is being reected from other
objects and may be turning the motion
sensor on and off.
Ƒ
Decrease the “SENSITIVITY”
setting or reposition the
motion sensor.
Ƒ The motion sensor is in “TEST” mode
and warming up.
Ƒ While in “TEST” mode, the
light only stays on for 5
seconds. Turn the “TIME”
control between the 10S
and 10MIN setting.
The lights ash once then stay
off in manual mode.
The motion sensor is detecting light from
the lamp heads.
Reposition the lamp heads to
keep the area below the motion
sensor relatively dark.
