broken.
Is the surrounding external ambient light too bright?
(If so the unit may think it’s daytime.)

Is there motion in the detection zone?
•Make sure the sensor is not picking up moving
objects such as trees, traffic, etc.
TEST FOR YOURSELF
•Cover the sensor lens with cardboard to pre-
vent sensor from detecting motion. If the lights
stay off, something in the detection zone is
triggering the sensor.
•If this is the case, reduce the sensitivity.
•Reposition motion sensor.
*If the lights stay on with sensor lens covered,
contact customer service.

•If this is the case, reduce the sensitivity.
•Reposition motion sensor.
If there is no motion, then the unit may be in the
override mode.
•Turn the light switch to the “OFF” position for
40 seconds, and then back to the “ON” posi-
tion. This will send the unit back into the
AUTO mode.
*If the lights continue to stay on, contact
customer service.
The light given off from the unit’s own lamps are
affecting the motion sensor.
•Re-aim lamps.
•Reposition motion sensor.
Is the switch on the bottom of the motion sensor in
the test mode?
•Move the switch to the 4 MIN or 12 MIN
position.
Is the motion detector shadowed?
•Reposition motion sensor.
