Sensitivity of Motion Sensor
1. The sensitivity can be adjusted from 5 to 30 feet by using the
"Sens" knob. (See Fig.5).
2. Turn the knob clockwise for increased sensitivity.
3. Turn the knob counterclockwise for decreased sensitivity.
NOTE:
1. The sensitivity of the motion sensor will increase as the
environmental temperature gets colder. For best performance,
gently clean the lens with a soft cloth every 1 or 2 months to
ensure maximum sensitivity.
2. When installed at a height of 6.5 feet, at 77 degrees Fahrenheit,
the light will provide a maximum detection distance of 30 feet
and detection range of 150 degrees. (See Fig.6, Fig.7)
3. The sensor will be more sensitive to motion across its
detection path than motion directly towards it. (See Fig.8)
4. To reduce possible nuisances, do not mount the fixture
near a heat source like an air conditioner, vent or furnace
exhaust, or in a direction facing any reflecting object or
other light source.

Where you install your light is important:
Be sure the light is mounted straight on the wall;
otherwise, the detection distance may be limited.

SOLUTION
Set the rotary knob in the test mode for testing.
Turn on wall switch or circuit breaker.
Test the light bulb on normal working light fixture.
Tighten the light bulb.
Check wire connections.
Relocate fixture away from western facing wall.
Eliminate or turn off other light source, block other
light source from shining onto sensor, or relocate
fixture.
Only need to relocate fixture.
No corrective action needed.
Turn off the light, then turn it on after 5 seconds.
Eliminate heat source or relocate fixture.
Rotate it again to the mode you want.
