Optional Wiring

Page 4 highlights

OPTIONAL WIRING This fixture is provided with a sensor rated for 500 Watts. Since the fixture wattage is less than 500 watts, then additional lighting load can be controlled. For example, if the fixture is rated for 100 watts, then 400 watts of additional lighting load can be controlled. When determining what a fixture is rated for, do not simply look at the rating on the lamp in the fixture. Look at the marking which specifies the maximum lamp wattage for which the fixture is suitable. Once you have selected the fixtures to be connected and determined their maximum ratings, add these ratings up. For instance, if you have 3 fixtures rated 100 Watts, 150 Watts, and 75 Watts respectively, you have a total load of 325 Watts. Wiring Diagram 1 - When wiring to control a standard light fixture: Strip the motion sensor's red wire and connect to the standard light's black wire. Connect all white wires together. Total fixture ratings must not exceed 500 Watts (4.1 A). Wiring Diagram 2 - When wiring to control another motion sensing light fixture (Master / Slave): Strip the red wire in both light fixtures. Connect the red wire of the controlling (master) fixture to the red and black wires of the controlled (slave) fixture. Connect all white wires together.
