DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The RD‑250 Multi‑Way Dimming Wall Switch Convertible Occupancy Sensor is 

designed to replace a standard single pole or multi‑way (3‑way, 4‑way) switch or 

dimmer. It is ideal for indoor areas  where occupancy sensor‑based manual ON/

OFF and Dimming control is desirable.
Like a standard switch, you press the ON/OFF/DIM button to turn the dimmable 

lighting load ON and OFF. Unlike a standard switch, the RD‑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 RD‑250 automatically turns the load back ON. Like a standard 

dimmer, once the lighting load is ON, you can dim it UP or DOWN by pushing and 

holding the ON/OFF/DIM button. When you push the ON/OFF/DIM button to turn 

the dimmable load ON, the RD‑250 recalls the last used dimming level.
While the sensor is factory preset as a Vacancy Sensor with manual ON operation, 

it can be adjusted to work as an Occupancy Sensor that turns the controlled load 

ON automatically upon detection of occupancy in the area.
The RD‑250 can be wired with up to 3 additional RD‑250s for multi‑way Manual/

Auto –ON/OFF of one or several loads (up to one load connected to each RD‑250). 

It can also be wired to up to 4 RH‑253 single pole momentary wall switches for 

multi‑way Manual‑ON/OFF Automatic‑OFF control of one load.
