Requirements
• The Light Control requires 120-volts AC.
• If you want to use Manual Mode, the control must be
wired through a switch – not a dimmer or other
electronic switch.
• Some codes require installation by a qualified
electrician.
• This product is intended for use with the enclosed
gasket and with a junction box marked for use in wet
locations.
• The backplate has knockouts so the sensor can be
mounted on most junction boxes.
• In some applications a universal adaptor plate may be
needed. Adaptors are available at Home Centers and
Electrical Supply Stores.
* If you get confused while switching modes, turn the
power off for one minute, then back on. After the
calibration time (1
