INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Description:

The passive infrared sensors work by detecting the difference between heat emitted from the human body in motion and the background space. 

The sensor switch can turn a load ON and hold it as long as the sensor detects occupancy. After no motion is detected for the set time delay, the 

load turns OFF automatically. The sensor switch has one relay (equal to single pole switch), it also includes Ambient Light Level Sensor.

Coverage Area:

The coverage range of the sensor switch is specified and illustrated in Figure 1. Large objects and some transparent barriers like glass windows 

will obstruct the sensor’s view and prevent detection, causing the light to turn off even though someone is still in the detection area.

LOCATION/MOUNTING

Since this device responds to temperature changes, care should be taken when mounting the device. DO NOT mount directly above a heat source, 

in a location where hot or cold drafts will blow directly on the sensor, or where unintended motion will be within sensor’s field-of-view.

INSTALLATION

    1.  Turn OFF power at circuit breaker or fuse.

    2.  Remove existing single pole switch or dimmer if applicable.

    3.  Remove 3/4 (1.9 cm) of insulation from each circuit conductor. Make sure the ends of wires are straight.

     4.   Connect lead wires as shown in WIRING DIAGRAM (see Figure 2): Black lead to Line (Hot), Red lead to Load wire, White lead to Neutral wire, 

Green lead to Ground. 

     5.  Gently position wires in wall box, attach sensor switch to the box.

     6.  Mount device “TOP” up.

    7.  Restore power at circuit breaker or fuse, wait 

one

 minute.

    8.  Remove the small cover plate. (Illustrated as Figure 3.)

    9.  Locate the adjustment knobs on the control panel to perform test. and adjustments. (Illustrated as Figure 4.)

  10.  Replace the small cover plate after testing and adjusting

  11.  Attach the wallplate.

NOTE: If twist on wire connector is provided, use to join one supply conductor with one 16 AWG device control lead.

ADJUSTMENT

Band Switch

Time Delay Knob

Default position: 15 Seconds (Test mode)

Adjustable: from 15 Seconds to 30 Minutes (clockwise)

Sensor Sensitivity Range Knob

Default position: Center at 65%

Adjustable: 30% (Position 1) to 100% (Position 4)

Note: Turn clockwise for larger rooms. Turn counter clockwise to avoid false alerts in smaller rooms or near doorway or 

heat source.

Ambient Light Dial: 

The ambient light setting is adjusted with the Ambient Light dial (refer to figure 4). Turning the Light 

Dial fully counter clockwise (CW), will keep lights OFF, when the motion is detected. All other settings will cause the lights 

to turn ON only when the light level is less than the setting.

Default position: Daylight (100% at position 4)

Adjustable: Daylight to 30 Lux (Counter clockwise)

OPERATION

The Sensor Switch is programmed independently for either Occupancy Mode or Vacancy Mode as referred to the Band 

Switch position under the control panel cover. Vacancy mode is also known as “Manual On Occupancy Mode”. By pushing 

the Control Panel Cover, the load can be turned On/Off under either OCC or VAC mode. (Illustrated as Figure 5)

Turning On the load under Occupancy Mode

Load to be Automatic ON once occupancy is detected.

Turning On the load under Vacancy Mode

Manual ON/OFF Button has to be pushed to turn ON the Load.

Automatic Turning Off the load

Under either mode, the Sensor keeps the Load On until no motion is detected or the set time delay, load(s) to be Off 

automatically. Under VAC Mode, the Load can turn On automatically if motion is detected within the 1st 30 seconds.

Manual Turning Off the Load

By Manual ON/OFF Button, the Load can be turned OFF under either OCC or VAC mode. Under OCC Mode, the Load cannot 

automatically turn ON 5 mins after the last motion is detected.
