Initial Power-up
There is an initial warm-up
period. If the sensor is in Mode 2
“Automatic ON” it may take up to a
minute before the lights turn ON.
However, the lights can be turned
ON/OFF manually by pressing the
“ON/OFF Button” at any time when
power is supplied to the unit.
4b. Wiring one RH-250 and one RH-253 single pole momentary switch
for multi-way Manual-ON/OFF single load control.
IMPORTANT: The RH-250 must be installed in the
wiring wall box that connects to the load.
• Connect the green or non-insulated (copper) GROUND wire in each wiring box
to the green terminal on each RH-250 and RH-253.
• Connect the NEUTRAL wire from the circuit and from the lamp (LOAD) to the
white wire on the RH-250.
• Connect the power wire from the circuit box (HOT) to one terminal of the
RH-253 single pole momentary wall switch and to the TRAVELER 1 wire.
• Connect the TRAVELER 1 wire coming from the RH-253 wiring box to the black
wire of the RH-250.
• Connect the lamp power (LOAD) to the red wire on the RH-250.
• Connect the TRAVELER 2 wire to the other side of the RH-253 single pole
momentary wall switch and to the yellow wire of the RH-250.

5. Put all the new switches into their wall boxes.
Position the RH-250 switch(es) with the lens above the ON/OFF button (lens at
top, ON/OFF button at bottom). Use the captive screws on the mounting strap
to secure the switches to their wall boxes.
6. Restore power to the circuit.
Turn on the breaker or replace the fuse.
7. Make any necessary adjustments.
See the SENSOR ADJUSTMENT &
PROGRAMMING section for information.
8. Install cover plates.
Install industry standard decorator wall
switch cover plate (not included)
