UNIT DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The PW-103N Passive Infrared Multi-Way Wall Switch occupancy sensors 

use advanced passive infrared (PIR) technology. The PW-103N has one relay 

and one ON/OFF button along with a field selectable nightlight feature. The 

nightlight color options are amber, blue, or white. The nightlight feature can be 

disabled if not desired. See Nightlight section.
Up to four PW-103N sensors can be connected to the same circuit. Pressing the 

ON/OFF button on any PW in the circuit toggles the load ON or OFF. 
The sensors can also turn the load ON and OFF automatically with occupancy. 

The first sensor to detect occupancy turns ON all the lights that are connected 

to the circuit. After the room is unoccupied, the last sensor that detected 

occupancy turns OFF all the lights after the time delay has expired. The 

occupant can turn OFF the load at any time by pressing the ON/OFF button on 

any sensor that is connected to the circuit. 
A “walk-through” mode can turn lights OFF after only 3 minutes, if no activity is 

detected after 30 seconds following an occupancy detection.
PW-103N sensors contain a light level sensor. If adequate daylight is present, 

the sensor holds the load OFF until light levels drop, even if the area is 

occupied. Users can overrule this function by pressing the ON/OFF button. See 

Light Level Adjustment.

Time Delay

The PW sensor holds the load ON until no motion is detected for the selected 

time delay. Select the time delay using DIP switch settings.

Fixed Time Delay 

(DIP 1 ON, 2 & 3 OFF)

Time delays are 5, 10, 15, 

20

 (default), 25, or 30 minutes. 

See table in Installation section for DIP settings.

Test Mode  

(1, 2, & 3 OFF)

A Test Mode with a short time delay of 5 seconds is 

set when DIP switches 1, 2, & 3 are OFF. It cancels 

automatically after ten minutes, or when you set a 

fixed time delay. When the Test Mode times out, the 

sensor will assume a 20 minute time delay. To restart 

Test Mode, change the time delay setting to any fixed 

amount and then return it to the Test setting.

Shading indicates default operation and switch setting. 

Service Mode  

(DIP 1, 2, & 3 ON)

Service bypasses occupancy & light level functions. 

Control the load manually using ON/OFF button. Red 

LED is always lit when the PW is in Service mode.
