Amazon Review Heath Zenith SL-5407-BZ-B replacement Tue, Dec 18, 2018 Disappointed is an understatement. I didn’t read anywhere that this was a time delayed unit. Or that the perpetrator had to do jumping jacks to get it to come on; but that is what appears to be happening. I don’t know where it detects a warm body on a not so cold winter night; say around 40F degrees. Due to my health I may or may not be sending it back. But this is not your father’s Oldsmobile. I totally suggest that you seek another brand. Ron /// Update: Mon, Dec 24, 2018: I am returning this unit. Believe what the other reviews say that you can’t get much more than a 30ft detection range. I have worked with motion sensors for over 30 years. I have tried everything I could think of to get this to work right, but it doesn’t go much past 30ft. And it acts like it has a built in time delay. I have an old unit, I would guess about 30 years old on my front porch that almost snaps on when the detection field is crossed.

We have four driveway lamp posts: old school, cast metal, with glass pane tops that hold three candelabra bulbs each. They’re wired to a house circuit by the front door to allow manual override. The motion/photo sensor has never been replaced and finally went a couple of weeks ago – at least I hoped it was just the sensor, the thought of tracing/digging up the buried power line didn’t appeal to me.
It took less than an hour to replace the sensor: Find and turn the circuit breaker off before you attempt this. I’ll say it again: Find and turn the circuit breaker off before you attempt this.
Take the entire cap of the top of the post. The wire gauge was heavy enough I could lie the cap on the side of the post while I reached in and pulled the clump of wires out. Unscrew the sensor arm at the point it contacts the post. Don’t bother taking the ball joint apart. Here’s a tip: don’t just clip the wires from the old sensor and pull it out before wiring the new sensor, because:
1) you can use the existing wires as a guide to match the colors of the new ones
2) there’s a nut inside the post that the sensor arm screws into. The old wires run through it and hold it in place. If you run the new wires through it you don’t have to worry about the nut falling into the post.
The connections inside my post were all done by twist cap (no soldering or taping) and the wire gauge the Heath comes with is light enough you can twist it by hand.
Replace each old wire with the corresponding new one. Pull the old wires out with the old sensor (now you can clip them if you need to). Don’t put the top cap back on until you reach in and hold that nut against the post and thread the new sensor arm in. It’s plastic and finger-tight is fine. Replace the cap, position the sensor and turn the breaker on.
The docs say the first time powering up the sensor it takes a minute and a half to calibrate. Slide the button to ‘Test’ – the bulbs should come on immediately and the small red LED on the front should blink intermittently. If they do, you’ve got juice and all that’s left is playing with the positioning and selecting the time setting.
We mostly use the manual override because we don’t keep the light on continually at night (we use a separate door light).
The switch in the house is just for the post lights, so it’s usually off. To turn the lights on it’s simple: “UP/DOWN, count one-two, UP” – give it a second and the lights come on and stay on until you turn the switch off.
Bottom Line: Installing the Heath sensor is a DIY job that anyone with some home electronics experience (like installing light switches) can handle.

I purchased this sensor to replace my old sensor that starting failing. It looked like a good deal so I purchased two and installed them. Every day and night they have worked perfect but now that we are in a rainy season I have been having problems with the sensor not turning off all night until morning. Contacted sensors tech service (800/858/8501) talked to company’s tech rep. he told me that I was getting a feedback from the sensor that caused it to remain on. I asked him why does this only do it when its raining and not other times, he really didn’t have an answer.
The sensors model no. SL-5407-BZ Still working with it to try and find out why it’s doing this only in the rain. Did check connections of base inside and totally dry.

Bought this to replace an older sensor that was dying. Purchased it with the “frequently bought together” box and cover, and hooked it up to an existing outside light. To extend the distance from the light, and to make it more visually appealing, I used a flexible power tool power cable I bought at the local hardware store. I included a picture so you can better see how all the items look together.
This part is in the instructions, but just in case you missed it: There are two modes, always on (like a normal light switch), or night/motion sensor (what you are buying it for). You switch modes by turning it off/on in one second. If you get confused about what mode it is in, then leave it off for 1 minute and when it turns back on it will be in night/motion sensor mode.
