RVS-RCS Installation Guide

Linking the Sensor to a Receive

r

This  process  requires  the  controller  or  receiver  to  be  mounted,  powered  and  within 

range of the sensor to be linked.

The sensor is a solar powered device that absorbs energy through a solar panel; storing it 

for use during low light periods. Before assigning the sensor to a receiver/controller, the 

RVS must be exposed to a good light source for at least 2 minutes.

1. 

Remove the cover by inserting a small screwdriver under the white enclosures lip. 

Gently twist the screw driver and pull the cover away from the base.

2.  Activate LEARN or LINK mode at the receiver, if necessary refer to the 

manufacturers documentation.

3.  Press the sensors LINK button.

4.  Deactivate LEARN mode at the receiver.

Installing or Replacing the Battery

The  battery  is  not  required  for  normal  operation  when  the  RVS  receives  adequate 

natural or artificial light, minimum 6 foot candles or 65 lux.  The RCS model comes with a 

battery (requires installation).

1. 

Remove the cover by inserting a small screwdriver under the white enclosures lip. 

Gently twist the screw driver and pull the cover away from the base.

2. To remove an old battery, use a small screwdriver as a lever and insert under 

the battery. Gently twist the 

screwdriver so the battery pops out. 

3.  Install or replace the battery with 

a new CR1632 coin cell battery 

insuring the positive side (+) will be 

facing up.

4.  Place the battery in the holder and 

press in place with your thumb.

Test Operating Modes

Test modes require a battery to be installed.

 For RVS units, insert a CR1632 battery to 

run tests. 
Remo

ve the cover for access to the test button.

The following 5 tests can be selected when in test mode operation.

1. 

Light Level Test

2.  Range Confirmation Test

3. Walk Test Mode

4.  Sensor setting Mode including PIR or Audio Sensitivity and Sensor Occupancy 

Timer Ad

just Mode

5. LED indication disable

Light Level Test:

1. 

To enter Light Level Test mode, press and hold the test button for 6 seconds. The 

green LED will begin to blink (LEDs are located under the lens).

2.  Press the test button again for 6 seconds to select Light Level Test. The green LED 

will blink in accordance to the light level it is detecting. This will change (2 second 

lag  time)  if  you  move  the  sensor  to  areas  with  different  light  levels.  See  blink 

indicator table below
