TOOLS NEEDED
• Screwdriver
BAHERY NEEDED (not included)
• 9-Volt alkaline battery
BAHERY INSTALLATION
1. Remove battery cover from the bottom of the sensor.
2. Install one 9-Volt alkaline battery into the battery compartment. Be sure
the battery (+) and (-) terminals match (+) and (-) contacts on battery cap.
3. Replace battery cover.
Note: The 9-Volt battery supplies power to the sensor only, not the light itself.
MOTION SENSOR INSTALLATION
1. Turn off power at light switch.
2. Allow sufficient time for the bulb to cool. Then remove the bulb
from the light socket.
3. Attach the Mounting Bracket to the wall or ceiling using the screws
provided. Make sure to mount the Motion Sensor
within 3-4 inches of the light fixture you want to
control (Alert Light).
For easier mounting: Unplug Socket
Adapter and/or move Sensor head to
allow better access to screw holes.
4. Screw the Socket Adapter into the
empty light socket and then screw
light bulb into Socket Adapter.
Note: Maximum bulb wattage
is 150W per socket.
5. If the Socket Adapter was
unplugged in Step 3, plug the phone-
type connector back into the jack
at the bottom of the Sensor housing.
6. Aim Sensor in the direction of activity
you wish to detect. The Sensor has
a wide detection angle, so precise
aiming is not critical.
Note: When aiming Sensor, avoid direct
exposure to automobile headlights, which might be interpreted as sunlight
and therefore prevent light from coming on.
7. Leave unattended for 10 minutes.
Note: No motion must be detected for at least 10 minutes to allow the
Sensor to set itself to a "ready" mode. Cover Motion Sensor if necessary.
8. After 10 minutes, turn on power switch to the light fixture. Wave your
hand in front of the Motion Sensor to activate. Light should turn on.
Note: Light will stay on for 1 or 10 minutes after all motion
has stopped. See below to
COVERAGE AREA
change activation settings.
DETECTION ZONE
Motion is detected in a 50' x 120°
range. The adjustable mounting
bracket can be angled within a
30° vertical detection zone and
100° horizontal detection zone.
Note: As with most motion
detection devices, pets may
activate the unit. Also
walking in a straight line
towards the Sensor may
reduce the operational range.
Walking across the
detection field provides
maximum operational range.
ACTIVATION SEHINGS
Sensor is factory set for
day/night operation and
for the light to stay on for
1 minute after no motion
is detected.
