The middle LED stays on steadily when in Manual Override Mode.
The middle LED blinks when the sensor is ready for Evening Timer Mode.
Lights stay on during detected movement, with adjustable time-on from 5 seconds to 12 minutes.
Lights can be manually turned on/off at night using the light switch's Manual Override Mode.
Flip switch twice (off-on-off-on) within 1-2 seconds to keep lights on.
Flip switch three times (off-on-off-on-off-on) within 1.5-3 seconds to set.
Switch power off for at least 10 seconds, then back on to return to Auto Mode.
Sensor may detect large animals; adjust sensitivity or use masks to limit detection.
Use the provided tool or a screwdriver to adjust controls on the sensor's front.
Select a location where the sensor can see all paths of movement.
Illustrates the 180° forward and 360° downward detection zones.
Mounting at 6'-10' provides maximum range; higher mounting reduces range.
Tips for avoiding false triggers from heat sources or unwanted movement.
Reduce sensitivity or mask the lens to mitigate false triggers.
Mount the sensor on a stable surface, not on moving objects like trees.
Position the sensor below and away from heat-generating lights to avoid false triggers.
Aim sensor away from traffic and maintain a 20-foot safety zone to prevent false triggers.
Reduce sensitivity or mask the lens to prevent detection of passing vehicles.
Mount the sensor level to ensure proper coverage; tilting can affect detection height.
Sensor is more sensitive to movement across its pattern; adjust angle/location for best results.
Mount in protected areas to minimize false triggers from weather changes.

Lights turn on with movement within the detection zone after dusk.
Lights stay on for 1-8 hours after dusk, then revert to motion detection.
Allows testing during the day; lights stay on for 5 seconds per detection.
Requires a double-flip of the light switch to keep lights on continuously until dawn.
Switch power off for at least 10 seconds, then back on to reset.
When photocell is set to day/night, lights remain on continuously if Manual Override is active.
Set time to 5s, turn power off for 10s, then back on; wait 30s warm-up.
Walk across the detection pattern to check coverage and adjust aiming.
Ensure sensor is level and adjust aiming for desired coverage.
Modify sensitivity or use lens mask to fine-tune detection area.
Repeat tests, then set time delay and vacating zone for 1 minute.
Check Manual Override, Evening Timer, and obstructions triggering the sensor.
Aim away from movement, mask lens, or lower sensitivity for false triggers.
Mount the sensor on a stable surface to prevent wind-induced triggers.
Check wiring hot status and ensure circuitry is not damaged.
Maintain a 20ft safety zone and reduce sensitivity to avoid car detection.
Position sensor below and away from light fixtures.
Ensure dedicated circuit, avoid parallel wiring, check for detection by others.
Aim sensor away from reflective objects or lower sensitivity.
Verify lamps, wiring, power, and photocell settings.
Ensure other light sources are not in the sensor's view.
Check for reflected light tricking the photocell or using non-reflector lamps.
Ensure sensor is level, not too high, and movement is across pattern.
Sideways adjustment can improve detection by crossing zones earlier.
The RAB STEALTH STL360 is an infrared motion sensor designed to automatically turn lights on when it detects temperature changes caused by the movement of people or cars within its protection zone. This device aims to welcome visitors and deter intruders while being energy-efficient.
The STL360 utilizes two powerful detectors to provide comprehensive coverage. It offers a 180° long forward range (180° x 60') and superb 360° downward detection, covering all sides and below the sensor. Lights connected to the STL360 remain on as long as movement is detected within the protection zone. Once the zone is vacated, the lights can be adjusted to stay on for approximately 5 seconds up to 12 minutes. The sensor itself consumes only one watt, making it highly energy-efficient as lights are only activated when needed.
The device also features scanning LED detection indicators that serve as a deterrent and show the STL360's current mode of operation.
The STL360 offers several operational modes and adjustment capabilities:
The STL360 can be wall or soffit mounted. Optimal mounting height is 6-10 feet above the ground for maximum range. Mounting above 15 feet will reduce the usable range. The sensor functions best when movement is across its detection pattern, not directly towards it.
When installing, ensure the sensor and lights are mounted firmly and do not move when touched. The sensor should be located below and as far away as possible from its lights to prevent heat from the lights from triggering the sensor.
For locations near roads, the sensor should be aimed down so that its maximum range ends at least 20 feet from the road to avoid activation by passing trucks, cars, or air currents. Sensitivity can be reduced, and lens masks can be used to block detection in specific directions.
The sensor should be mounted level from side to side and pointed at the desired coverage area. Tilting the sensor may cause part of the detection zone to be too high.
It is recommended to mount the sensor in a protected area to minimize false activations due to dramatic temperature changes caused by rain, snow, or windstorms.
STL360 floodlight kits come pre-wired and assembled on the RAB CU4 EZ Plate, suitable for mounting on round, rectangular, or octagonal surface or recessed boxes. A "Hands Free Hanging Hook" is provided to hold the CU4 EZ Plate during wiring.
Multiple sensors can be wired together, but this may complicate troubleshooting. Multiple fixtures can be wired to a single sensor. For loads greater than 1000 watts, a qualified electrician should install a relay.
