1. Walk through the coverage area noting
where you are when the lights turn on.
Loosen the 3 clamp screws slightly and
turn the sensor head left or right to change
the coverage area.
2. When you have the desired coverage
angle make a pencil mark on the sensor
and post to mark the sensor position.
3. If you need to change the sensitivity, tem-
porarily lift the fixture and sensor to make
the adjustment. It may be necessary to
have a friend hold the fixture while adjust-
ing the sensitivity. Too much sensitivity may
increase false triggering.
