TEST MODE

To test the detection coverage:
1.  Press and hold the ON/OFF button. After 10 seconds the lighted switch turns 

off. The load turns ON if it was not already ON. The sensor is now in a TEST 

mode that lasts 5 minutes. (You can end the TEST mode sooner by pressing the 

ON/OFF button for another 10 seconds).

During the TEST mode, the controlled load turns ON for 5 seconds each 

time the sensor that initiated the TEST mode detects occupancy.

2.  Move out of the coverage area or stand very still. The controlled load turns OFF 

after 5 seconds if no motion is detected.

3.  Move into the coverage area for the unit that initiated the TEST mode. The 

controlled load turns ON for 5 seconds each time the sensor detects motion. 

After 5 seconds expire without motion detection, the load turns OFF. The 

controlled load turns ON automatically with the next motion detection and 

stays ON for 5 seconds.

4.  Repeat as necessary to ensure that the desired coverage areas are within 

detection range.

You can do this test for each RH-250 in your multi-way configuration. So that you 

can determine the actual coverage area for each multi-way switch individually, 

only the RH-250 that is in TEST mode will control the load.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Lighted switch is OFF, no load response to ON/OFF button press:

•  Make certain that the circuit breaker is on and functioning. 

Lighted switch is ON, no load response to ON/OFF button press:

•  Check the lamp and/or motor switch on the fan mechanism.

Load will not turn OFF automatically:

•  Press ON/OFF button. If the controlled load turns OFF, go to next step.
•  The time delay can be set from 15 seconds to 30 minutes. Check the time 

delay setting for each RH-250 in your multi-way configuration. Ensure that all 

RH-250s have the same time delay setting. 

•  Ensure that there is no movement within the coverage area for all the sensors 

related to the load for the set time delay. Hot air currents and heat radiant 

devices can cause false detection. Make sure the sensor is at least 6 feet (2 

meters) away from devices that are a significant heat source (e.g. heater, 

heater vent, high wattage light bulb).

Load will not turn ON automatically when the area is occupied and the 

sensors are in Mode 2 (lighted switch is ON): 

•  Press ON/OFF button. If the load turns ON, check the Light Level setting. The 

light level can prevent the sensor from turning ON the load automatically.

  Make sure the sensor lenses are not blocked and that you are within the 

coverage area of at least one sensor.

•  If the load does not turn ON when you press the ON/OFF button, check the light 

bulb and/or motor switch on the fan mechanism.

If load does not respond properly after following troubleshooting, turn OFF 

power to the circuit then check wire connections or call technical support.
