Problem Possible Cause Solution
The light stays on continuously. Ƒ The bulb is positioned too close to the
motion sensor or pointed at nearby
objects that cause heat to trigger the
motion sensor.
Ƒ Reposition the bulb away
from the motion sensor or
nearby objects.
Ƒ The motion sensor may be picking up
a heat source like an air vent, dryer
vent, or brightly painted, heat-reective
surface.
Ƒ Decrease the “RANGE”
setting or reposition the
motion sensor.
Ƒ The motion sensor is in manual mode. Ƒ Switch the motion sensor
to auto. See Using Manual
Mode on page 10.
Ƒ The light xture is wired through a
dimmer or timer.
Ƒ Do not use a dimmer or
timer to control the light
xture. Replace the dimmer
or timer with a standard on/
off wall switch.
Ƒ The light xture is on the same circuit
as a motor, transformer, or uorescent
bulb.
Ƒ Install the light xture on
a circuit without motors,
transformers, or uorescent
bulbs.
The light ashes on and off. Ƒ Heat or light from the bulb may be turn-
ing the motion sensor on and off.
Ƒ Reposition the bulb away
from the motion sensor.
Ƒ Heat is being reected from other
objects and may be turning the motion
sensor on and off.
Ƒ Reposition the motion
sensor.
Ƒ The motion sensor is in “TEST” mode
and warming up.
Ƒ Flashing is normal under
these conditions.
The light ashes once then stay
off in manual mode.
The motion sensor is detecting light from
the bulb.
Reposition the bulb to keep the
area below the motion sensor
relatively dark.
