avoid aiming the control at:
• Objects that change temperature rapidly, such as
heating vents and air conditioners.	These	heat	
sources	could	cause	false	triggering.
• Areas where
pets or traffic may trigger the con-
trol.
•
nearby large, light-colored objects	 reflecting	
light	may	trigger	the	shut-off	feature.	Do	not	point	
other	lights	at	the	sensor.

3. Loosen the clamp screw
in	the	sensor	ball	joint	and	
gently	rotate	the	sensor.
4. Walk through the coverage
area	noting	where	you	are	
when	the	lights	turn	on	(also,	
the	 LED	 will	 flash	 several	
times	 when	 motion	 is	 de-
tected).	 Move	 the	 sensor	
head	up,	down,	or	sideways	
to	 change	 the	 coverage	
area. 
keep the sensor at
least 1" (2.5 cm) away from 
the lamps.
5. Adjust the RANGE as need-
ed.	RANGE	set	too	high	may	
increase	false	triggering.
6.
secure the sensor head 
by tightening the clamp 
screw.	 Do	 not	 overtighten	
the	screw.
7. Set the amount of TIME you want the lights
to	stay	on	after	motion	is	detected	(1,	5,	or	10	
minutes).
Warning: risk of fire. Do not aim the
lamps at a combustible surface within 3 ft. 
(1 m).
