? specific to the Light Post Silver Box (Dusk to dawn)

[trekker954]

My questions is about the silver box on the side of the house. The label on the side has "sort of" instruction push repeatedly up and down to select from 11 functions.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THOSE FUNCTIONS ARE?

Also listed R auto on/off dusk to dawn
E check circuit
[] Manual on/off
1-9 on at dush off at how many hours you set it

So if I saw it on 4 (Am I correct once it comes on it should shut off 4 hours later)

It was working fine and the sensor was replaced about a year ago. However, I put a halloween face mask on and noticed the light never turned off after doing that. I've had to use my circuit breaker to turn on/off, but the dusk/dawn doesn't seem to work. I took off the mask immediately but not sure if I can reset that silver box to help.

Was this silver box installed by the builder?

Yes, your are correct on the 4 hour setting. You state you took off the mask, so with the 4 hour setting, the light should stay of for 4 hours after dusk. I you want dusk to dawn you need to change the setting back to "R". Be sure the sensor is NOT blocked. If you are still having trouble after these suggestions, send me a PM, and I may be able to come over and help you.

When I turned the breaker on during the day, the light immediately turned on, so that didn't work. I will spend more time seeing how to work that silver box (yes builder's box as far as I know). Then I will turn it on tonight and see if it goes off. But if I recall, even though the LED was showing the number 4, it did not turn off until morning.

I don't have any silver box timer on the side of my home built in 2007. Is this something the builder is putting in the newer villages?
