3. Instal·lació (Configuració)
Before beginning installation, ensure all power is disconnected at the circuit breaker or fuse box. This device is designed for wall mount installation.
3.1 Muntatge
- Select a suitable mounting location, typically 8-15 feet above the ground, ensuring the sensor has an unobstructed view of the desired detection area.
- Securely attach the sensor to a junction box using appropriate hardware (not included). Ensure a watertight seal for outdoor applications.
3.2 Cablejat
The GT500W sensor is hardwired and supports both 120V and 277V electrical systems. Refer to the wiring diagram below and consult a qualified electrician if unsure.

Figure 3.1: Wiring connections for the GT500W sensor. Black wire for Line, White for Neutral, Red for Load.
- Connecteu el NEGRE wire from the sensor to the LÍNIA (CALENT) cable de la font d'alimentació.
- Connecteu el BLANC wire from the sensor to the NEUTRE cable de la font d'alimentació.
- Connecteu el VERMELL wire from the sensor to the LOAD (fixture) filferro.
- Assegureu-vos que totes les connexions estiguin ben fixades i aïllades amb connectors de cable homologats.
- Resta l'alimentació al disjuntor.
4. Funcionament
The GT500W sensor automatically detects motion and activates connected lighting. It features adjustable settings for optimal performance.
4.1 Interval de detecció
The sensor provides a 110-degree field of view, detecting motion up to 70 feet away. The coverage area can be influenced by mounting height and environmental factors.

Figure 4.1: The 110-degree detection range of the GT500 sensor.
4.2 Ajustar la configuració
The sensor includes controls for adjusting the run time and sensitivity. These controls are typically located on the underside or side of the sensor unit.

Figura 4.2: Example of adjustable sensitivity control.
- Ajust de HORA: This dial controls how long the light remains on after motion is detected. Settings typically range from 10 seconds to 15 minutes. Turn the dial clockwise to increase the duration, counter-clockwise to decrease.
- SENSITIVITY Adjustment: This dial controls the sensor's responsiveness to motion. Turn the dial clockwise for higher sensitivity (detects smaller movements or at greater distances), and counter-clockwise for lower sensitivity (reduces false triggers).
4.3 Anulació manual
The GT500W features a 6-hour protected manual override function, allowing the light to stay on continuously regardless of motion detection.
- To activate manual override, quickly turn the light switch OFF and then ON within 2 seconds. The light will remain ON for approximately 6 hours.
- To deactivate manual override and return to motion-sensing mode, quickly turn the light switch OFF and then ON again. The light will then operate based on motion detection and set time.
5. Manteniment
The RAB Lighting GT500W motion sensor is designed for minimal maintenance.
- Neteja: Netegeu periòdicament la lent del sensor amb un drap suau i sec.amp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris that may obstruct detection. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Lamp Substitució: If the connected PAR38 flood lamps fail, ensure power is disconnected before replacing them. Follow the lamp instruccions del fabricant per a la seva substitució.
6. Solució De Problemes
If the motion sensor light is not functioning as expected, refer to the following common issues and solutions:
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on when motion is detected. | No hi ha alimentació al sensor. Sensibilitat del sensor massa baixa. Bulb(s) faulty. Lent del sensor obstruïda. | Comproveu l'interruptor/fusible. Augmenta la configuració de sensibilitat. Substituïu les bombetes. Neteja la lent del sensor. |
| La llum es manté encesa contínuament. | Manual override activated. Moviment constant a la zona de detecció. Sensor defectuós. | Deactivate manual override (OFF-ON-OFF-ON switch sequence). Adjust sensor angle or sensitivity. Contacta amb l'assistència al client. |
| El llum s'encén sense cap raó aparent (activacions falses). | Sensibilitat del sensor massa alta. Heat sources (e.g., exhaust vents, reflective surfaces). Small animals or moving foliage. | Redueix la configuració de sensibilitat. Adjust sensor angle to avoid heat sources. Adjust sensor angle or reduce sensitivity. |
| La llum s'apaga massa ràpid o massa lentament. | Time adjustment setting incorrect. | Adjust the TIME dial to the desired duration. |
