2.
Sensitivity is set too high.
3.
The "DUALBRITE" switch is in the 3 hour, 6 hour, or dusk-
to-dawn setting.
4.
The outside temperature is much warmer or cooler than a
person's body heat (summer or winter).

2.
The motion sensor is in manual mode.
3.
Light control is in DualBrite® mode.
4.
Sensitivity is set too high.
5.
The light fixture is wired through a dimmer or timer.
6.
The light fixture is on the same circuit as a motor, transformer,

2.
Heat being reflected from other objects may be affecting the
sensor.
Seasonal Temperature Changes – The closer the surrounding temperature is to a person's body heat, the less sensitive the sensor will appear. The greater
the temperature difference, the more sensitive the sensor will appear. The SENS control might need to be readjusted toward MIN or MAX as the outside
temperature changes for the different seasons. This is a normal part of the light sensor's operation.

SOLUTION
1.
Turn light switch on.
2.
Replace fuse or turn circuit breaker on.
3.
Recheck after dark.
4.
Re-aim the sensor to cover desired area.
5.
Verify wiring is correct.
6.
Increase the "Sensitivity" setting.
1.
The fixture is operating normally under these conditions.
2.
Set the "ON-TIME" switch to the 1, 5, or 10 minute setting.
1.
Re-aim sensor. Reduce sensitivity.
2.
Reduce sensitivity.
3.
The light fixture is operating normally under these circumstances.
4.
Reduce sensitivity.
5.
Do not use a dimmer or timer to control the light fixture. Replace
the dimmer or timer with a standard on/off wall switch.
1.
Re-aim sensor. Reduce sensitivity.
2.
Switch the motion sensor to auto. See Manual mode on page 6.
3.
Slide DualBrite® switch to OFF position.
4.
Reduce sensitivity.
5.
Do not use a dimmer or timer to control the light fixture. Replace
the dimmer or timer with a standard on/off wall switch.
6.
Install the light fixture on a circuit without motors, transformers,
or fluorescent bulbs.
1.
Flashing is normal under these conditions.
2.
Re-aim sensor. Reduce sensitivity.
