1. Turn off the power to the fixture at the main panel,
then test the wires to make sure the current is off. Rub one lead
of a voltage tester ($3 at hardware stores or home centers)
against the ground wire and rub the other lead first against the
hot wire (black), then the neutral wire (white). If the tester
lights up in either case, the power is still on. Shut off the
correct circuit at the main panel.

2. Install a replacement electrical box if your existing
box is too small (see “Size Requirements of Electrical
Boxes,” above). Plastic boxes have the size in cubic inches
stamped on them.

3. Mount the light fixture according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. Run the wires through the
rubber gasket.
Then connect the neutral wires (white), hot wires (black) and
ground wires (green or bare copper) with wire connectors.

4. Screw the fixture in place. Make sure the rubber gasket
seals the edges of the box so moisture can’t get in. Apply a
bead of clear silicone caulk around the edges if necessary.

5. Aim the motion detector at the field of view you want
covered. (Later, you can aim the detector lower to reduce the
field of view if nuisance trips are a problem.) Point the light
bulbs to the area you want lit. Keep the bulbs as far away from
the detector as possible.

6. Set the detector’s distance range as desired. You
can also reduce this later, if necessary, to eliminate nuisance
trips. Also set the timer shutoff control. On most units you can
choose automatic shutoff after either 1, 5 or 20 minutes.

7. Cover a portion of the detector lens with plastic tape
if it becomes necessary to narrow its side-to-side field of view
more than the adjustments will allow.
