Dual Floodlight Infrared Security System (610-2604) Installation Faxback Doc. # 19260 COVERED AREA Position the security system so that a moving object cuts "across" its beams, not directly toward them. CHOOSING A LOCATION You must install your security system on a standard, round outdoor electrical junction box. Use either an existing box overlooking the area you want to illuminate or install a new box in the desired location. Consider the following choosing a location: Your security system must be at least 6 feet above the ground and parallel to the ground. Existing floodlights must be aimed away from the sensor. Direct sunlight must not fall on the sensor lens. The sensor must not face reflective surfaces such as swimming pools or large windows. You must not mount the sensor over heat producing vents or air-conditioning units. The sensor cannot "see" through glass. NOTE: The sensor "sees" a moving object by detecting a change in temperature as an object moves. If you install and set up your security system on a very hot day it will be difficult for the sensor to detect the difference between the heat from your body and the background temperature. (At 98.6 degrees F. you are invisible to the sensor). For best results, it is recommended that you install your security system during the day and make test adjustments during the evening when it is cooler. CAUTIONS: You must connect your security system to 120 volts AC. Check your local building codes before installing. If you do not have experience with household wiring, have a qualified electrician install your security system. Turn off the power at the main circuit breaker or fuse panel before you begin installing. Standard Electrical Wire Color Code Color Status Black Hot(Live) White Neutral Green or Bare Copper Ground PREPARING THE JUNCTION BOX You should mount the security system and lamp holder assembly on a standard round outdoor electrical junction box. If the location you selected has a rectangular junction box, replace it with the round type, or use a rectangular to round adapter. If the location you selected does not have a junction box, complete all wiring to the location before you mount the security system. ASSEMBLING THE SECURITY SYSTEM 1. Screw the base of each lamp holder into the outer holes of the mounting plate. 2. Rotate the locking ring on each lamp holder towards the plate until the lamp holder is secure against the plate. 3. Screw the threaded end of the sensor head into the center hole of the mounting plate. 4. Lock the sensor head into place using the locking ring. 5. Locate each lamp holder's white wire and one of the sensor head's white wires and connect all three wires together using one of the supplied wire nuts. 6. Locate each lamp holder's black wire and connect them to the sensor head's blue wire using a wire nut. INSTALLING THE SECURITY SYSTEM You can install the security system in a wall box that is powered all the time or in a wall box that is powered through a wall switch. If the wall box is powered from a wall switch, leave the switch turned on all the time. Turning off the switch completely disables your security system. CAUTION: To prevent severe damage to your security system. Do not connect it to a dimmer or any kind of remote controlled wall switch module. WARNING: Before making the following connections, be sure the power to the junction box is turned off. If the junction box is powered a serious shock hazard exists. 1. Install the supplied gasket on the junction box, and route the house wiring through the gasket. 2. Connect the house wiring's bare copper ground wire to the junction box's ground screw. 3. Connect your security system's white wire to the house wiring's white wire, using a wire nut. 4. Connect your security system's black wire to the house wiring's black wire, using a wire nut. 5. Secure the Mounting Plate to the junction box using the two supplied screws. 6. Place an insulating ring (supplied) over the base of each lamp and screw the lamps into their sockets. NOTE: Lamp wattage should not exceed 150 watts each when you use the supplied lamp holders. Your security system can power up to 500 watts if you use it to control a fixture rated at 500 watts.
