Summary

Cautions

General Safety Precautions

General safety warnings including turning off power, following local codes, and using qualified electricians.

Load Capacity Limits

Specifies maximum load capacity for incandescent and fluorescent bulbs to prevent overload.

System Compatibility Warning

Warns about incompatibility with Line Carrier Remote Control Systems causing false activations.

Circuit Load Restrictions

Advises against installing sensors on circuits with motor loads like appliances or HVAC.

Mounting Plate

Mounting Plate Assembly

Describes floodlight kit assembly on RAB CU4 EZ plate for various box types.

How the STEALTH Works

Detection Principle

Sensor detects small temperature changes from motion to automatically turn lights on.

Light Duration Adjustment

Lights stay on during movement; adjustable from 5 seconds to 12 minutes after detection ceases.

Manual Override Mode

Explains how to manually control lights using the light switch for temporary operation.

Animal Detection Control

Methods to limit animal detection: reduce sensitivity or mask lower lens part.

Picking a Location

Optimal Sensor Placement

Choose location for sensor to 'see' all movement paths; wall or ceiling mount.

Detection Range Factors

More movement needed at distance; e.g., half step at 10 ft, several steps at 40 ft.

Coverage Area and Adjustment

Standard 110° pattern up to 50 ft; swivel or tilt sensor for desired coverage.

LED Detection Indicator Function

Red LED shows sensor logic, daytime detections, and acts as night deterrent.

Kit Wiring

Mounting Bar Installation

Attach Universal Mounting bar with screws to junction box; use gaskets for weatherproof boxes.

Easy Wiring Tip

Use hanging hook to hold EZ Plate hands-free during wiring.

Connecting Power and Sensor Leads

Route power/sensor wires through gaskets; strip insulation.

Securing Electrical Connections

Attach ground wires, use wire nuts, secure with tape; ensure proper seal.

Wiring Diagrams

Basic Wiring Diagram

Illustrates fundamental connection of power, sensor, and light for basic setup.

Basic Kit Wiring Diagram

Shows STL110 kit wiring, noting pigtail use for remote fixtures.

Multiple Fixture Wiring

Explains connecting multiple fixtures to one sensor; relay needed for higher loads.

Power Quality Guidelines

Advises on circuit requirements and potential issues with voltage variations affecting sensor performance.

Aiming and Walk Testing

Walk Test Procedure

5-minute Test Period for aiming and checking coverage; lights stay on 5 sec per detection.

Adjusting Sensor Aim

Aim sensor across pattern, adjust for desired range and coverage.

Optimizing Sensitivity

Adjust sensitivity knob to increase/decrease responsiveness and range.

Setting Time and Photocell Controls

Set light duration and photocell for night-only or 24-hour operation and dusk/dawn timing.

Technical Tips: Lights Do Not Turn Off

Manual Override Mode Check

Ensure sensor is not in manual override. Reset by cycling power.

Eliminating False Heat Triggers

Avoid aiming at moving heat sources; test by covering sensor.

Ensuring Mounting Stability

Confirm sensor/lights are firmly mounted, not on unstable objects subject to wind.

Road Proximity and Sensitivity

Recommend 20-ft safety zone from roads and reduced sensitivity to avoid passing car triggers.

Technical Tips: Lights Turn On and Off Inappropriately

Dedicated Circuit for Motor Loads

Install sensor on dedicated circuit, separate from motor loads like appliances.

Parallel Wiring Issues

Discourage parallel sensor wiring as it complicates troubleshooting.

Heat Sources and Moth Attraction

Position sensor below lights; reduce sensitivity for heat or moth triggers.

Reflective Surface Interference

Aim away from reflective surfaces or move them to prevent light reflection triggering.

Technical Tips: Lights Do Not Turn On

Lamp and Wiring Verification

Check lamp/fixture functionality and wiring against diagrams. Confirm power supply.

Daylight and Photocell Settings

Daylight operation requires specific photocell settings and Test Mode behavior.

External Light Source Interference

Other light sources may interfere with the sensor's photocell.

Technical Tips: Lights Turn Off Too Quickly

Reflected Light Impact on Photocell

Reflected light into photocell causes premature shut-off. Adjust photocell or mask lens.

Appropriate Lamp Selection

Use PAR floodlight lamps or Quartz floods; avoid non-reflector or PL lamps.

Technical Tips: Range Appears Limited

Ensuring Sensor Levelness

Check sensor is mounted level side-to-side and pointed correctly for full coverage.

Optimal Mounting Height

Mount sensor 6-12 ft high to maximize usable detection range.

Movement Direction and Detection

Sensor detects movement across pattern faster than movement directly towards it.

Zone Detection Adjustment

'Micro-adjust' sensor sideways to optimize detection across multiple zones.

Technical Tips: Lights Turn On for Unknown Reasons

Temperature Fluctuations

Temperature changes during storms can cause activation. Mount in protected area.

Animal Trigger Management

Adjust aiming or mask lens to reduce nuisance triggering by animals.

Radio Frequency Interference

Strong local radio signals may activate sensor without permanent damage.

Limited Warranty

Warranty Coverage and Duration

Ten-year warranty for defects in workmanship and materials from purchase date.

Return Procedure for Repairs

Return product freight prepaid/insured with sales receipt and problem description.

Out-of-Warranty Service Fee

States fee for repairing/replacing units out of warranty or with unrelated damage.

Contents of Accessory Kit

Included Kit Components

Lists accessory kit items: wire nuts, gaskets, mounting hardware, lens masks.
