Troubleshooting (continued)

Problem Possible Cause Solution

The lights stay on continuously. Ƒ The motion sensor may be picking up a

heat source, such as an air vent, dryer

vent, or brightly painted, heat-reective

surface.

Ƒ Decrease the “SENS”

setting or reposition the

motion sensor.

Ƒ The motion sensor is in manual mode. Ƒ Switch the motion sensor

to auto. See Using manual

mode on page 9.

Ƒ The light xture is wired through a

dimmer or timer.

Ƒ Do not use a dimmer or

timer to control the light

xture. Replace the dimmer

or timer with a standard on/

off wall switch.

Ƒ The light xture is on the same circuit

as a motor, transformer, or uorescent

bulb.

Ƒ Install the light xture on

a circuit without motors,

transformers, or uorescent

bulbs.

The lights ash on and off. Ƒ Heat or light from the bulbs may be

turning the motion sensor on and off.

Ƒ Reposition the lamp heads

away from the motion

sensor.

Ƒ Heat is being reected from other

objects and may be turning the motion

sensor on and off.

Ƒ Decrease the “SENS”

setting or reposition the

motion sensor.

Ƒ The motion sensor is in “TEST” mode

and warming up.

Ƒ While in “TEST” mode,

the light only stays on for

8 seconds. Set the “ON-

TIME” switch to 1, 5, or 20

minutes.

The lights ash once then stay

off in manual mode.

Ƒ The motion sensor is detecting light

from the lamp heads.

Ƒ Reposition the lamp heads

to keep the area below the

motion sensor relatively

dark.
