Troubleshooting (continued)
Problem
The light stays on continuously.
The light flashes on and off.
The light flashes once then stay
off in manual mode.
Possible Cause
The bulb is positioned too close to the
motion sensor or pointed at nearby
objects that cause heat to trigger the
motion sensor.
The motion sensor may be picking up
a heat source like an air vent, dryer
vent, or brightly painted, heat-reflective
surface.
The motion sensor is in manual mode.
The light fixture is wired through a
dimmer or timer.
The light fixture is on the same circuit
as a motor, transformer, or fluorescent
bulb.
Heat or light from the bulb may be turn-
ing the motion sensor on and off.
Heat is being reflected from other
objects and may be turning the motion
sensor on and off.
The motion sensor is in "TEST" mode
and warming up.
The motion sensor is detecting light from
the bulb.

Solution
Reposition the bulb away
from the motion sensor or
nearby objects.
Decrease the "RANGE"
setting or reposition the
motion sensor.
Switch the motion sensor
to auto. See Using Manual
Mode on page 10.
Do not use a dimmer or
timer to control the light
fixture. Replace the dimmer
or timer with a standard on/
off wall switch.
Install the light fixture on
a circuit without motors,
transformers, or fluorescent
bulbs.
Reposition the bulb away
from the motion sensor.
Reposition the motion
sensor.
Flashing is normal under
these conditions.
Reposition the bulb to keep the
area below the motion sensor
relatively dark.
