INSTRUCTIONS

Note: 

For LED Status Indicators & Error Codes, refer to the 

SPODMR WR

 instruction sheet.

The following five procedures should be reviewed completely prior to setting 

up wireless sensors for use with 

SPODMR WR

 series wireless switch units. 

Note that some procedures involve using the push-button on the side of the 

sensor and some involve using the push-buttons on the wall switch. If setting 

up sensors for use with a different device, consult the installation guide for that 

device for pairing, setting the time delay, and setting the operational mode.

Occupancy Time Delay

The length of time a paired 

SPODMR WR

 switch’s relay will remain closed 

after the last occupied transmission from a sensor has been received.

 

For 

PIR

 sensors, the 

Occupancy Time Delay

 can be set from the sensor (see below 

steps) or the switch (see 

SPODMR WR

 instruction sheet). 

For 

Dual Tech

 sensors, the 

Occupancy Time Delay

 must be set from the sensor 

(see below steps) and only after it is paired with the 

SPODMR WR

 switch.

Step 1.

 Press and release sensor button 4 times

Step 2.

 LED will begin flashing current setting (see selections 1-13 below)

Step 3.

 To change setting, press sensor button the number of times 

                corresponding to the new desired setting from the below choices:

1

 -

 

30 sec 

      5 

- 10.0 min*        

9

 - 20.0 min      

13 

- 30.0 min

2

 - 2.5 min

          6 

- 12.5 min        

10 

- 22.5 min       

3

 - 5.0 min          

- 15.0 min   

     11

 - 25.0 min

4

 - 7.5 min          

- 17.5 min   

     12

 - 27.5 min

Step 4.

 LED will flash back new setting (repeats 3 times, then exits)

Notes: 

The sensor 

Heartbeat Setting

 will automatically be adjusted to match 

this  setting if under 5 minutes, and be set to 5 minutes for any higher setting.

Sensor Test Mode

Temporarily sets the 

Occupancy Time Delay

 on the sensor and any paired 

switches to 10 seconds. Sensor LED flashes every 5 seconds indicating if 

PIR occupancy was detected. 
To 

Enter (Exit) 

test mode:

     Step 1.

 Press and release sensor button 6 times

     Step 2.

 Wait until LED begins to flash back 

     

Step 3. 

Press and release sensor button twice to Enter test mode (or once 

                     to Exit test mode)

Notes: 

1. 

Sensor Test Mode

 expires automatically after 10 min.

2. Dual Technology (Microphone) detections while in 

Sensor Test Mode

 will 

not reset 10 second time delay.

3. While in 

Sensor Test Mode

, the sensor 

Heartbeat Setting 

will be 5 seconds.

ADDITIONAL SETTINGS & MODES

Heartbeat Settings

Frequency that the sensor will transmit status information.

Step 1.

 Press and release sensor button 3 times

Step 2.

 LED will begin flashing current setting (see selections 1-3 below)

Step 3. 

To change setting, press sensor button the number of times                    

                corresponding to the new desired setting from the below choices:

 

 1

 - 30 sec 

          2

 - 2.5 min  

       3 

- 5.0 min*

Step 4.

 LED will flash back new setting (repeats 3 times, then exits)

Notes: 

1. It is recommended that the 

Heartbeat Setting

 be left alone as it will 

automatically adjust if necessary with the 

Occupancy Time Delay

2. A 

Heartbeat Setting

 set shorter than 5 min will reduce battery life.

3. If the 

Occupancy Time Delay

 is set to 10 minutes with a 5 minute sensor 

Heartbeat Setting

, the “actual” time it will take for the sensor to turn the 

lights off after leaving a space is between 10 and 15 minutes, depending on 

how long after the last heartbeat transmission the space was vacated.

Microphone Enable/Disable (Dual Tech versions only)

Step 1. 

Press and release sensor button 7 times

Step 2.

 LED will begin flashing current setting (see selections 1-2 below)

Step 3.

 To change setting, press sensor button the number of times 

                corresponding to the new desired setting from the below choices:

  

1

 - Disable

          2

 - Enable*

Step 4.

 LED will flash back new setting (repeats 3 times, then exits) 

Unlearn (Unpair)

When a teach broadcast is received by a switch from a remote device, it is 

removed from the unit’s list of learned (paired) devices.

Step 1.

number of learned devices, and repeat.

2. Unit stays in 

Unlearn Mode

 for 2 minutes, or until one device is 

unlearned. Press sensor button 2 times to unlearn (unpair). 

3. Each time a new device is unlearned by (e.g. unpaired with) the switch, 

the switch will toggle its relay. 

 

Microphone Setback Time (Dual Tech versions only)

Maximum duration that only microphone detections (without any PIR 

detections) will keep the lights on.

Step 1. 

Press and release sensor button 5 times

Step 2.

 LED will begin flashing current setting (see selections 1-5 below)

Step 3.

 To change setting, press sensor button the number of times 

                corresponding to the new desired setting from the below choices:

TITLE 24 SYSTEM COMPONENT

Switch Learn Mode (Pairing Mode) - see diagrams A-D above

The operational state when a switch unit will accept teach broadcasts from 

remote devices (e.g. sensors). Once received, the remote device will be added to 

the switch unit’s list of learned (paired) devices.

Step 1. 

Press and hold both switch buttons for 3 seconds (i.e. until button LEDs 

                start flashing together). See 

Diagram A

 above.

Step 2. 

Press switch’s ON button 3 times (

Diagram B

 above). Switch will now 

                be in “learn mode”

Notes:

 

1. While in 

Switch Learn Mode

, the switch unit’s LEDs will rapid flash then slow 

blink the number of learned devices, and repeat (

Diagram C

 above). See switch 

instruction sheet for more details regarding device count blinkout.

2. The unit will stay in 

Switch Learn Mode

 for 2 minutes after last device was 

learned, or until ON button is pressed (

Diagram D

 above).

3. Each time a new device is learned by (e.g. paired with) the switch, the switch 

will toggle its relay. Wait a minumum of 4 seconds before pairing another device.

Sensor Teach Mode - see diagram C above

The operational state of a sensor when it will transmit its sensor ID to facilitate 

pairing with other devices.

Step 1.

 While switch is in 

Switch Learn Mode, 

press and release sensor button 

                2 times (

Diagram C

 above)

Step 2.

 The sensor’s LED will rapid flash when transmitting

Note:

 

1. Sensor resumes normal operation after one transmission is sent.

2. Use this procedure to unpair a sensor when a switch is in 

Unlearn 

mode.

Operational Modes

Selection of Auto-On, Manual-On, or Predictive w/ Expiration operating modes.

Step 1. 

Press and hold both switch buttons for 3 seconds (i.e. until button LEDs 

                start flashing together)

Step 2. 

Press switch’s ON button 5 times

Step 3. 

LED will begin flashing current setting (see selections 1-3 below)

Step 4.

 To change setting, press switch’s ON button the number of times 

                corresponding to the new desired setting from the below choices:

    1 

- Auto-On:

 

     

    Load will automatically turn on when occupied and off when vacant.   

          

                  Pressing  OFF  will  turn  the  load  off  and  disable  occupancy  detection  until  ON                                                                                                                          

         is pressed.

 

    

    2

 - Manual-On/Vacancy (*default for -SA option units):

         Sensor functions as a vacancy detector, turning load off after occupancy is  

         no longer detected. Load must be turned on manually by pressing ON

         button each time the room is entered. After the sensor times out, there is      

         a 10 second grace period in which detection of occupancy will automatically 

         turn the load back on. 

    

    3 

- Predictive Mode w/ Expiration (*default for non-SA units):

         Load will automatically turn on when occupied and off when vacant.  Load  

         can be overridden to off by pressing OFF button. The load will remain off 

         if the room remains occupied. However, after the room becomes vacant, the 

         switch will revert back to automatic on/off operation after 

Occupancy Time

        Delay

 expires.

Step 5.

LED will flash back current setting (repeats 3 times, then exits)
