Package Contents

Verify that all components are present before beginning installation:

• Westgate LED Outdoor Motion Sensor Unit (1)
• Mounting Hardware (Screws, Wire Nuts, Gasket) (1 set)

Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your motion sensor:

1. Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure power is OFF at the circuit breaker. Choose a mounting location that provides an unobstructed view of the area to be monitored. The sensor features 1/2 NPT threads for easy integration with standard outdoor light fixtures or junction boxes.
2. Mount the Sensor: Thread the sensor's 1/2 NPT connection into the desired fixture or junction box. Ensure it is securely tightened to prevent movement and maintain weather resistance.

3. Wiring Connections: Connect the sensor's wires to your lighting fixture and power supply according to the wiring diagram provided with your lighting fixture or by a qualified electrician. Typically, this involves connecting the Line (Hot), Load (to light), and Neutral wires. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated with wire nuts.
4. Seal and Secure: After wiring, ensure all openings are properly sealed to prevent moisture entry. Position the sensor head to cover the desired detection area.
5. Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power at the circuit breaker.

Operating Instructions

The motion sensor features adjustable settings for optimal performance:

• Sensitivity Adjustment: Use the "SENSITIVITY" dial to adjust the detection range. Turning the dial clockwise increases sensitivity and detection range (up to 70 feet), while turning it counter-clockwise decreases it. Start with a medium setting and adjust as needed to avoid false triggers.
• Timer Adjustment: Use the "TIMER" dial to set how long the light remains on after motion is detected and stops. The delay can be adjusted up to 300 seconds (5 minutes). Turn clockwise for longer durations, counter-clockwise for shorter durations.
• Test Mode: For initial setup and aiming, set the "TIMER" dial to the "TEST" position. In this mode, the light will turn on for a few seconds each time motion is detected, regardless of ambient light levels. This allows you to walk through the detection area and confirm coverage.
• Auto Mode: Once testing is complete, set the "TIMER" dial to your desired duration. The sensor will now operate in auto mode, activating the light only when motion is detected and ambient light levels are low enough (dusk to dawn operation).
• Manual Override: This sensor supports a manual override feature. To activate, quickly flip the power switch (connected to the sensor) OFF and ON within 3 seconds. The light will then stay on continuously. To return to auto mode, flip the power switch OFF and ON again within 3 seconds, or the sensor will automatically reset to auto mode after 8 hours.

Maintenance

The Westgate motion sensor requires minimal maintenance:

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the sensor lens with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris that may obstruct its view. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Annually inspect the wiring and mounting for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Ensure the sensor is still securely mounted.
