Catalog Number: RSEN-WLV
2
INSTALLATION
Coverage
The RSEN-WLV is designed for offices or small rooms up to
300 square feet. Although total coverage of minor motion is
450 square feet, wall switches are normally mounted off-center
in a room which reduces the coverage attainable.
Basic Installation Steps
1. Turn off power at the circuit breaker.
2. Wire and mount the switch in standard junction box.
3. Restore power to the circuit.
4. Adjust settings and test.
Location
Wall switch:
When installing the RSEN-WLV in a new
junction box, choose the switch location carefully to provide
optimum coverage of the occupied area. When replacing an
existing wall switch, bear in mind that there must be a clear
line of sight between the sensor and the area to be covered.
Avoid pointing the switch directly into the hallway where it
may detect passers-by.
Relay and transformer:
(Note: Use only GE RR series
relays.) The relay and transformer are generally mounted
above the ceiling on a junction box that contains a hot line,
neutral and exisitng switch leg from which the lighting is
controlled. If additional relays are required, they are mounted
in the box that contains the appropriate switch leg. In
installations whare there are no existing switch legs, the
relay and transformer may be mounted in a conveniently
located junction box.
Alternative Relay Location:
The RSEN-WLV may be wired
back to a GE TLC relay panel in the elecrical closet using low-
voltage wiring. This is especially useful in retrofit situations,
where the sensor replaces an existing low-voltage wall
switch.
Note: The RSEN-WLV is NOT compatible with the terminals of
the GE Softwired Switching System, as four wires are
required to draw power for the sensor from this particular
panel model. Use the RSENSOR-x series of ceiling sensors
instead.

Mounting
CAUTION: Before installing or performing any service
on an RSEN-WLV, power must be turned off at the
circuit breaker panel.
The RSEN-WLV can replace one switch in any standard single
or double gang box. It may be installed in the same manner as
any 3-wire low-voltage wall switch. Wire the RSEN-WLV as
described in the wiring section below.
Wiring
CAUTION: The RSEN-WLV is for use with 24 VAC only.
Do not use with any other voltage. Do not wire to control
receptacle circuits.
Up to four GE RR-type relays may be connected to any one
RSEN-WLV sensor switch.
RSEN-WLV is provided with Teflon-insulated pigtails. The
components are interconnected using #18 AWG Class 2
wiring per NEC 725. Use UL-recognized Teflon-insulated wire
approved for plenum areas per NEC 725-2(b) where required.
Wire RSEN-WLV, the relay, transformer and load as shown.
