Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Solution
The light will not come on. □ The light switch is turned off. □ Turn the light switch on.
□ The fuse is blown or the circuit breaker
is turned off.
□ Replace the fuse or turn the
circuit breaker on.
□ Daylight turn-off (photocell) is in effect. □ Recheck after dark or turn
the “LUX” dial toward the
“ + ” position.
□ The circuit wiring is incorrect (if this is
a new installation).
□ Verify the wiring is correct.
□ The outside air temperature is close to
the same as a person’s body heat.
□ Increase the “SENS”
setting.
The light comes on during the
day.
□ The motion sensor may be installed in a
relatively dark location.
□ The light xture is operating
normally under these
circumstances.
□ The “LUX” control is turned to the “ +”
position.
□ Turn the “LUX” dial toward
the “ – ” position.
The light comes on for no
apparent reason.
□ The motion sensor may be sensing
small animals or automobile trafc.
□ Decrease the “SENS”
setting or reposition the
motion sensor.
□ The “SENS” control is set too high. □ Decrease the “SENS”
setting.
□ The outside temperature is much
warmer or cooler than a person’s body
heat (summer or winter).
□ Decrease the “SENS”
setting.
□ The light xture is wired through a
dimmer or timer.
□ Do not use a dimmer or
timer to control the light
xture. Replace the dimmer
or timer with a standard on/
off wall switch.
The lights stay on continuously. □ The motion sensor may be picking up a
heat source, such as an air vent, dryer
vent, or brightly painted, heat-reective
surface.
□ Decrease the “SENS”
setting or reposition the
motion sensor.
□ The light xture is wired through a
dimmer or timer.
□ Do not use a dimmer or
timer to control the light
xture. Replace the dimmer
or timer with a standard on/
off wall switch.
□ The light xture is on the same circuit
as a motor, transformer, or uorescent
bulb.
□ Install the light xture on
a circuit without motors,
transformers, or uorescent
bulbs.
