[. . . ] In very hot weather it is recommended that you make test adjustments in the evening when it is cooler. ASSEMBLING THE PARTS The Motion Monitor mounting plate is designed to fit a standard round outdoor electrical junction box (not included). Screw the base of each lamp holder into the outer holes on the mounting plate. Rotate the locking ring on each lamp holder towards the plate until the lamp holder is secure against the plate. Screw the threaded end of the Motion Monitor into the center hole on the mounting plate. [. . . ] Be sure the sensor head remains level from side-to-side and level with the ground. Whenever the sensor "sees" you the floodlights turn on and remain on for six seconds after you stop moving. If necessary, reorient the sensor head so normal road traffic does not activate the Motion Monitor. Dusk control After checking that the unit works during the day with the Dusk setting turned fully clockwise, you might want to set the unit to only operate at night. The setting of the dusk control is quite sensitive, so only make small adjustments each time. Index mark · Turn the control toward DARK if the Motion Monitor operates too early in the day. · Turn the control toward LIGHT if the Motion Monitor operates too late in the day. · Turn the control all the way to LIGHT for the Motion Monitor to work all the time. Note: When you change the setting of this control, or when the light level changes, the new setting does not take effect until 10 minutes after the setting was changed or the light level changed. Live Range control Neutral Insulating ring Note: The Motion Monitor has a special lens that "looks" downwards. · Turn towards MIN to avoid traffic, pets or small animals triggering the Motion Monitor. Time Delay switch · Set to desired time for lights to stay on after no further motion has been detected. 4 5 TROUBLESHOOTING Controls and Settings, cont. This Unit switch · Set to SENSOR to have the floodlights turn on when motion is detected. · Set to DUSK to have the floodlights turn on at dusk and off at dawn. Problem: Sometimes the Motion Monitor seems less sensitive than other times. Solution: Observe the notes and diagrams on page 2, and note that the Motion Monitor is most sensitive when you walk "across" its path. It is also less sensitive in very hot conditions, i. e. , in the summer. Problem: I want to have the lights on for a couple hours for a Barbecue, what do I do?Solution: Using an X10 Controller, you can send an ON command corresponding to the Motion Monitor's Start Code, and it will stay on until an OFF command is sent. Solution: If turned on by a command from an X10 Controller, the Motion Monitor stays on until turned off from and X10 Controller, if necessary send an Off command to the Motion Monitor from an X10 controller, returning the Motion Monitor to normal cycling mode. Also, if the Motion Monitor is accidentally powered off (from a wall switch that controls the power to it) while the floodlights are on, it will stay on when the power is reapplied. After dark, (depending on the position of the dusk setting) trigger the Motion Monitor by walking in front of it, then after the delay time you've set the floodlights will turn off and return to normal operation. Problem: The Motion Monitor sometimes doesn't control my X10 Module. [. . . ] (For example, if the Start Code is set to 3 and the Sensor Switch labeled 6 is set to IN, the module with unit code 9 and the same House Code as the Motion Monitor will turn on at dusk, and turn off at dawn). Caution: To avoid the risk of fire or injury ensure that potentially hazardous appliances such as portable heaters or fans will not be accidentally controlled by the Motion Monitor. Choose controlled Unit Codes carefully. http://www. x10. com/support for more help. 6 7 X10 Wireless Technology, Inc. Limited One Year Warranty X10. com, a division of X10 Wireless Technology, Inc.
