3. Daylight turn-off (photocell) is in effect.
4. Sensor not detecting movement.
5. Incorrect circuit wiring, if this is a new installation.
6. The outside air temperature is close to the same as a person's
body heat.
The light comes on 1. The motion sensor may be installed in a relatively dark location.
during the day. 2. The "ON-TIME" switch is in the "TEST" position.

2. The "Sensitivity" setting is set too high.
3. The "DUALBRITE" switch is in the 3 hour, 6 hour, or dusk-
to-dawn setting.
4. The outside temperature is much warmer or cooler than a
person's body heat (summer or winter).
5. The light fixture is wired through a dimmer or timer.

Seasonal Temperature Changes – The closer the surrounding temperature is to a person's body heat, the less sensitive the sensor will appear. The greater
the temperature difference, the more sensitive the sensor will appear. The SENS control might need to be readjusted toward MIN or MAX as the outside
temperature changes for the different seasons. This is a normal part of the light sensor's operation.

SOLUTION
1. Turn light switch on.
2. Replace fuse or turn circuit breaker on.
3. Recheck after dark.
4. Adjust sensitivity control.
5. Verify wiring is correct.
6. Increase the "Sensitivity" setting. See Seasonal Temperature
Changes below for more information.
1. The fixture is operating normally under these conditions.
2. Set the "ON-TIME" switch to the 1, 5, or 10 minute setting.
1. Decrease the "Sensitivity" setting.
2. Decrease the "Sensitivity" setting.
3. The light fixture is operating normally under these circum-
stances.
4. Decrease the "Sensitivity" setting. See Seasonal Temperature
Changes below for more information.
5. Do not use a dimmer or timer to control the light fixture.
Replace the dimmer or timer with a standard on/off wall
switch.
1. Decrease the "Sensitivity" setting.
2. Switch the motion sensor to auto. Follow Manual Mode
instructions on page 5 to reset.
3. Slide DualBrite® switch to OFF position.
4. Decrease the "Sensitivity" setting.
5. Do not use a dimmer or timer to control the light fixture.
Replace the dimmer or timer with a standard on/off wall
switch.
6. Install the light fixture on a circuit without motors, trans-
formers, or fluorescent bulbs.
1. While in "TEST" mode, the light only stays on for 10
seconds. Set the "ON-TIME" control to a timed setting.
2. Decrease the "Sensitivity" setting.
Do not point other lights at the sensor.
