DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 

CH-250 Multi-Way Wall Switch Vacancy Sensors are designed to replace standard 

single pole and multi-way (3-way, 4-way) switches. They are ideal for any room 

with multiple entries, and any other indoor space where vacancy sensor-based 

control with manual ON/OFF capability are desirable. 
Like standard switches, you can press the ON/OFF button to turn the light or fan 

(controlled load) ON and OFF. Unlike standard switches, the CH-250 automatically 

turns OFF the controlled load after the coverage area has been vacant for a period 

of time (Time Delay). If motion is detected within 30 seconds after it automatically 

turns OFF, the CH-250 automatically turns the load back ON.
The CH-250 can be wired with up to three additional CH-250s for multi-way 

Manual ON/OFF of one or several loads (up to one load connected to each 

CH-250). It can also be wired to up to four RH-253 single pole momentary wall 

switches for multi-way Manual-ON/OFF Automatic-OFF control of one load.

Lighted Switch

To help you locate the CH-250 in a dark room, the amber LED illuminates the ON/

OFF button while the controlled load is OFF. When the controlled load is ON, the 

LED is OFF.

Time Delay

The CH-250 keeps the load ON until no motion is detected by any of the related 

CH-250s for the time delay period. The time delay can be selected by the user 

during set up. It can be adjusted to any of these fixed values:15 seconds/5 

minutes/15 minutes/30 minutes. We recommend that the time delay be the 

same in all sensors related to the same load. This makes it easier to understand 

the multi-way control operation as well as trouble shooting. For additional 

information on how to adjust it, please read the SENSOR ADJUSTMENT section of 

this installation manual.

The CH-250 has a maximum coverage range of 180 degrees and a coverage area
