STEALTH STL200 Installation Manual STL200 STL200HB Specifications: Switching Capacity: 8 amps Voltage: 120 volts 1000 watts Incandescent 500 watts Fluorescent Detection Pattern: 50’ x 200˚ Time Adjustment: 5 seconds to 12 minutes Power Consumption: 1 watt Surge protection: I. E.C.
Cautions: Mounting Plate: TURN OFF ALL POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER/FUSE PANEL. STL200 floodlight kits come prewired and assembled on the RAB CU4 EZ plate, allowing for mounting on round, rectangular or octagonal surface or recessed boxes. • Read entire Installation Manual before proceeding. • All wiring should comply with local electrical codes and requires a qualified electrician.
How Does the STEALTH Work? Stealth’s infrared sensor “sees” small temperature changes caused by the motion of people or cars within its protection 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 protection zone. Once the zone is vacated lights can be adjusted to remain on approximately 5 seconds up to 12 minutes.
Picking a Location • Choose a location from which the sensor can “see” all the paths of movement. • The sensor may be wall or ceiling mounted. • As distance from the sensor increases, it will take more movement to be detected. For instance, at 10 feet, a half step will be enough, while at 40 feet several steps will be necessary. How large an area does Stealth200 detect? The Stealth200 provides a 200º detection pattern.
Kit Wiring EZ Plate Red pigtail is only used to switch remote or additional fixtures. 1. Attach the Universal Mounting bar with the bar screws (provided) to the junction box. If you are attaching your STL200 kit to a surface mount weatherproof box, you must use both gaskets, with the metal mounting plate sandwiched between.

Aiming And Walk Testing Walk Test The purpose of the Walk Test is to check and adjust the coverage pattern. Stealth has a 5 minute Test Period which allows the sensor to be aimed and walk tested day or night. If you require 5 more minutes of Test Time, turn the power off for at least 10 seconds and back on again. During the Test Period, the sensor will keep lights on for 5 seconds each time it detects movement in its Detection Zone. The sensor will change to Automatic Mode after 5 minutes of testing.
Technical Tips: Lights Do Not Turn Off 1. Make sure that the sensor is not in Manual Override Mode. Turn power OFF for 10 seconds, then ON Sensor will be in Test Mode for approximately 5 minutes, then it will switch to Auto Mode with lights off and ready to detect movement. 2. Make sure sensor is not aimed at or mounted over something that would move or change temperature such as waving branches, water, air conditioners, windows or heating vents—even on neighboring property.
Technical Tips: Lights Turn On and Off Inappropriately 1. Make sure the sensor is installed on its own dedicated circuit, free of motor loads such as HVAC equipment, kitchen appliances or garage door openers. 2. It is not recommended to wire sensors in parallel. More than one sensor wired together makes them difficult to troubleshoot. Disconnect multiple sensors and test separately. 3. Keep all people completely out of the detection pattern to make sure the sensor is not detecting them. 4.
Technical Tips: Lights Do Not Turn On 1. Check that lamps and fixtures work. Compare wiring to the wiring diagram in this manual. Check that the power is on. 2. If installing during daylight, remember that the sensor will provide 5 minutes of Test Time after power is turned on. After 5 minutes, the sensor will switch to Automatic Mode and will not work during daylight if the photocell control is turned to the night only position (moon symbol). Lights Turn Off Too Quickly 1.
Technical Tips: Range Appears Limited 1. Check that the sensor is level from side to side and pointed at the area you desire. If unit is tilted, part of the detection zone may be high in the air over people’s heads. 3. Check that movement is not directly towards sensor. Sensor will see movement across its pattern more quickly. To fix, move the sensor. WRONG! Less Sensitive Solution: Position sensor exactly level from side to side. More Sensitive OK! 2. Check that the sensor is not mounted too high.
Technical Tips: Lights Turn On for Unknown Reasons 1. Lights may turn on occasionally during rain, snow and windstorms because the sensor is detection changes in temperature. Solution: Mount sensor in protected area. 3. You may not be aware that animals have triggered the sensor. Check sensor aiming to reduce nuisance triggering or mask the lower part of the lens with opaque weatherproof tape or the lens masks provided to create an “Animal Alley”. 10’ This is the “Animal Alley” 50’ 4.
