SENSOR ADJUSTMENT

The sensor comes factory preset and ready for operation. 
If testing of operation is desired: 

Remove the sensor’s cover (twist).

Refer to the 

DIP switch settings

chart below for switch configurations.

Make sure that office furniture and fixtures are in place.

1. Confirm the Override DIP switch is set to Normal (DIP switch #4 to OFF)

2. Restore power and turn on the system interfacing with the Isolated Relay.

• There is a 

one minute warm-up

when power is initially restored to the

sensor before the sensor works properly.

3. Set 

Time Delay

to minimum: DIP switches #1 and 2 to ON (30 seconds).

4. Set 

Sensitivity

to maximum: DIP switch #3 to ON. 

5. Replace the sensor’s cover.

6. Move away from sensor and be still. The sensor should time-out after 

30 seconds and the isolated relay contacts should return to their “normal”
condition (Normally Open or Closed), see Wiring Directions diagram.

Note:

If the sensor does not time-out or the isolated relay does not return to

its normal condition, move farther away or out of sight of the sensor, or see
Unwanted Sensor Activations under Troubleshooting.

7. Reset the 

Time Delay

to the desired delay (DIP switches #1 and 2).

TROUBLESHOOTING

CAUTION

USE PROPER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN 

WORKING WITH OR NEAR HIGH VOLTAGE

LED does not flash with motion:

1. Determine if the lens is masked in the direction being tested (see Masking).

2. Check that the Sensitivity setting is set to maximum (DIP switch #3 to ON).

3. Check that the RED and BLACK wire connections from sensor are secure.

4. Check that 12VDC is between the RED and BLACK wire from the sensor.

• If it is present, the problem may be with the sensor. 

Try another sensor (if available). 

Isolated relay not functioning properly:

1. Check that Time Delay settings are correct (DIP switches #1 and 2).

2. Check Sensitivity setting. Also see Unwanted Sensor Activations, below.

3. Check that all wire connections from sensor are correct and secure.

4. Using proper precautions, check that there is voltage to the isolated relay.

5. Check that 12VDC is between the RED and BLACK wire from the sensor.

6. Use an ohmmeter to check the function of the isolated relay:

• Turn off the power connected to the isolated relay wires (if applicable). 

- With motion in front of the sensor’s lens, check that the connection

between the GREEN and ORANGE wires is open.

- With motion in front of the sensor’s lens, check that the connection

between the YELLOW and ORANGE wires is closed.

• Turn Sensitivity and Time Delay to minimum, cover the sensor’s lens with

a cloth (not your hand), be still and allow the sensor to time-out.

- Check that the connection between the GREEN and ORANGE wires is closed.

- Check that the connection between the YELLOW and ORANGE wires is open.

Unwanted sensor activations (LED flashes):

Possible causes

1. People moving or walking outside of the desired coverage area, but in view

of the sensor and within it’s range (see Coverage Patterns and Placement).

2. HVAC vents with heavy air flow.

Possible solutions

1. Masking (see Masking).

2. Setting the Sensitivity to minimum if necessary (DIP switch #3).

3. Relocating the sensor.

Sensor Override:

If the sensor fails, set DIP switch #4 to Override position (DIP Switch # 4 to ON).
This overrides the sensor and sets the circuits to “on”.
