Specifications  

Description  

The Passive Infrared (PIR) Single Relay Vacancy Sensing Wall Switch with Night Light is a lighting control and Wall 

Switch all-in-one that is used for energy savings and convenience. 

PIR Technology

 

The Passive Infrared (PIR) Single Relay Vacancy Sensing Wall Switch with Night Light uses Passive Infrared (PIR) 

sensor technologies to monitor a room for occupancy.

The VNLW-P-1001-MV-N allows the control of one load with one vacancy sensor switch.
The lights are turned ON by pressing the universally recognized light icon Pushbutton.  The lights stay ON as long 

as the sensor detects motion in the room.  When the room is vacated, the lights turn OFF automatically after a preset 
Time Delay interval.

A 30 second grace period is added after the lights shut OFF to give the occupant time to move again in case the 

lights shut OFF.  This prevents the occupant from having to walk-up to press the Pushbutton to reactivate the sensor.

The night light activates when sensor turns lights OFF.  This feature can be disabled, see DIP Switch Settings.
The sensor includes self-adaptive technology that continually adjusts to conditions by adjusting sensitivity and 

Time Delay in Real-time.  By adjusting sensitivity and Time Delay automatically, the sensor is maximizing the potential 
energy savings that are available in the particular application.

Location  

When installing the VNLW-P-1001-MV-N in a new junction box, choose the switch location carefully to provide  

optimum coverage of the occupied area.  When replacing an existing Wall Switch, bear in mind that there must be a clear 
Line-of-sight between the sensor and the area to be covered.  Avoid pointing the VNLW-P-1001-MV-N directly into the 
hallway where it may detect passers-by.

Installation  

The VNLW-P-1001-MV-N can be installed in any standard single 

gang box.  It may be installed in the same manner as an ordinary  
Wall Switch. 

• Wire the VNLW-P-1001-MV-N as described in the wiring section.  
• Mount the VNLW-P-1001-MV-N in the junction box.

Wiring  

CAUTION:  Before installing or performing any service on a Greengate system, the power MUST be turned OFF 

at the branch circuit breaker.  According to NEC  240-83(d), if the branch circuit breaker is used as the main 

switch for a fluorescent lighting circuit, the circuit breaker should be marked “SWD.”  All installations should be 

in compliance with the National Electric Code and all state and local codes.

NOTE REGARDING COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS:  The life of some compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) is 

shortened by frequent automatic or manual switching.  Check with CFL and ballast manufacturer to determine the 
effects of cycling.

1. Make sure power is turned OFF at the branch circuit breaker.
2. Wire units as shown in wiring diagrams per applicable voltage requirements.
3. Mount unit to Wall Box.
4. Turn power back ON at the branch circuit breaker and wait 2 minutes for the unit to stabilize.
5. Make necessary adjustments. (See Checkout and Adjustments section)
6. Install Wall Switch plate.

CAUTION:  If a room is wired for two circuits using two separate hot leads, it is very important to connect only one circuit per 
relay.  Both circuits must be fed from the same phase.
