Selecting a Location
Locate the LightAlert LOS1000 where
it has an unobstructed view of the
room, particularly the areas normally
occupied by people.Ideal mounting
height is 3.5 to 4.5 feet above the
floor.
If people can not see the sensor lens
from their normal positions in the
room, the sensor will not detect their
presence.
High cabinets, walls, doors and other
obstructions may limit the sensor’s
view of the entire room. If obstructions
can be moved the sensor will have
a better view. If the areas obstructed
are not areas normally occupied, the
sensor will still be able to see normal
occupancy.
If the room is L shaped or the sensor’s
view is badly obstructed from the door
switch location, use the LightAlert
LOS2400 ceiling mounted sensor
instead of the LOS1000.

Do not locate sensor over or looking
at heating vents, baseboard heaters,
hanging plants or air conditioners.
Do not locate sensor where it will view
direct sunlight.
If the sensor’s location gives it a view
of other rooms or hallways, lights
will be turned on when movement
is detected in these adjacent areas.
If this is undesirable, the sensor’s
detection zone may be restricted by
covering a portion of the lens with a
white paper label or tape
.

Caution:
■
TURN OFF ALL POWER BY
REMOVING THE POWER FUSE
OR TURNING OFF THE CIRCUIT
BREAKER FOR YOUR SAFETY
AND TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO
THE UNIT.
■
Please read this entire Owner’s
Manual before proceeding.
■
All wiring should comply with local
electrical codes and may require a
qualified electrician.
■
Make sure the total lighting
load connected to the LightAlert
LOS1000 does not exceed the
following:
120 VAC
:
Max 1000W ballast
Max 800W incandescent
277 VAC: Max1800W ballast
Exceeding the wattage limits may
damage the unit. To switch more
wattage, an electrician can install a
relay to handle the load.
■
Do not use LightAlert LOS1000
to control high intensity discharge
lights, fans, heaters
or motors. Small bathroom exhaust
fans may be used with LOS 1000.
■
The LOS 1000 may be used with
both standard and program rapid
start electronic fluorescent ballasts.
■
When the LOS1000 is initially
installed and the main power circuit
is restored, it will take 3 min before
the LOS1000 will automatically
switch the light off when no one
is present. It takes 3 min for all
circuits, including timer and memory
to stabilize.
