Reset to Default
Use the DIP Switch Settings tables to return features to factory settings. To reset the PW press and hold the ON/OFF button for
10 seconds, until a triple beep sounds. This resets the sensor and disables light level control (the brightest ambient light will not hold the
light OFF).
Lights do not turn ON with motion (LED does flash).
1. Press and release the ON/OFF button to make sure that the correct lights come ON. If the lights do NOT turn ON, check wire
connections. If the lights turn ON, verify that the correct On Mode is selected in DIP Switch 8.
2. Check to see if light level control is enabled: cover the sensor lens with your hand. If the lights come ON, adjust the light level
setting.
3. If lights still do not turn ON, call 800.879.8585 for Technical Support.
Lights do not turn ON with motion (LED does not flash).
1. Press and release the ON/OFF button to make sure that the correct lights come ON. If the lights turn ON, verify that Sensitivity is
on High.
2. Check the wire connections. Verify that connections are tightly secured.
3. If lights still do not turn ON, call 800.879.8585 for technical support.
Lights do not turn OFF.
1. There can be up to a 30 minute time delay after the last motion is detected. To verify proper operation, set DIP Switch 1 to
ON, then reset switches 1, 2, and 3 to OFF to start Test Mode. Move out of view of the sensor. The lights should turn OFF in
approximately 5 seconds.
2. Verify that the sensor is mounted at least six feet (2 meters) away from any heating/ventilating/air conditioning device that may
cause false detection. Verify that there is no significant heat source (such as a high wattage light bulb) mounted near the sensor.
3. If the lights still do not turn OFF, call 800.879.8585 for technical support.
Sensing motion outside desired areas.
1. Select PIR Sensitivity – Low (DIP switch 5 = ON) if necessary.
2. Mask the PIR sensor's lens to eliminate unwanted coverage area.
Red LED is lit all the time and the sensor features don't work.
1. Check DIP switches 1,2,3. If they are all ON the unit is in Service Mode. Set the DIP Switches to a valid Time Delay setting.
2. If re-setting the Time Delay switches does not clear the LED, call Technical Support.
