SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
e light comes on for no
apparent reason. 1. e motion sensor may be sensing small
animals or automobile trac.
2. e “SENS” switch is set too high.
3. e outside temperature is much warmer or
cooler than a person’s body heat (summer or
winter).
4. e light xture is wired through a dimmer
or timer.
1. Decrease the “SENS”setting or reposition
the motion sensor.
2. Decrease the “SENS” setting.
3. Decrease the “SENS”setting. See
Seasonal
Changes
on page 5 for more information.
4. Do not use a dimmer or timer to control the
light xture. Replace the dimmer or timer
with a standard on/o wall switch.
e lights stay on
continuously. 1. e motion sensor may be picking up a heat
source like an air vent, dryer vent, or brightly
painted, heat-reective surface.
2. e motion sensor is in manual mode.
3. e light xture is wired through a dimmer
or timer.
4. e light xture is on the same circuit as a
motor, transformer, or uorescent bulb.
1. Decrease the “SENS”setting or reposition
the motion sensor.
2. Set ON-TIME switch to 1, 5, or 20 minutes.
Follow
Manual Mode
instructions on page 6
to reset.
3. Do not use a dimmer or timer to control the
light xture. Replace the dimmer or timer
with a standard on/o wall switch.
4. Install the light xture on a circuit without
motors, transformers, or uorescent bulbs.
e lights ash on and o. 1. Heat or light from the lamp heads may be
turning the motion sensor on and o.
2. Heat is being reected from other objects
and may be turning the motion sensor on
and o.
3. e motion sensor is in “TEST”mode and
warming up.
4. A utility company has installed a Smart
Meter device close to the light xture.
1. Reposition the lamp heads away from the
motion sensor.
2. Decrease the “SENS”setting or reposition
the motion sensor.
3. While in TEST mode, the light only stays on
for 5 seconds. Set ON-TIME switch to 1, 5,
or 20 minutes.
4. e Smart Meter device can create an
interference with motion sensing lights.
Relocate the light xture away from this type
of meter.
e lights ash once then
stay o in manual mode. e motion sensor is detecting light from the
lamp heads. Reposition the lamp heads to keep the area below
the motion sensor relatively dark.
