Remote Controlled Products
This manual includes operating instructions for a variety of remote controlled products. All products work on the same principle and use the
same code setting information. Please read all instructional information and note any specific information pertaining to your particular product.
WARNINGS:
•FOR USE ONLY with 120 volt incandescent or halogen bulbs.
•DO NOT USE with fluorescent bulbs, appliances, power supplies, low voltage lighting, or any other electrical devices.
CODE SETTINGS
Note:
Most single system installations will not require any
change to the code setting. Transmitter(s) and receiver(s)
must have the same code and group setting to work to-
gether. Switches 1 through 3 set the code. Switch 4 sets the
Group (A or B). See page 2 for switch locations.

Battery Replacement
The wall switch transmitter requires a type CR2032, 3-volt
lithium battery to operate. The transmitter is shipped with the
battery installed. With typical use, the battery will last approxi-
mately 5 years. Remove battery when transmitter will not be
used for an extended period of time.
1. Place thumb on access door and slide down to open.
2. Carefully bend locking
tab outward. Battery will
pop up.
3. Remove battery from
socket.
4. Install replacement bat-
tery in socket plus (+)
side up (see illustra-
tion). Press down on
battery until locking tab
snaps into place.
5. Reinstall access door
by sliding it upward un-
til it locks in place.
2. Select mounting location for add-a-switch transmitter.
Note:
Transmitter should be located within 100 feet (30 m) of receiver.
Note:
Transmitter should be mounted approximately 4 feet
from the floor and in the vertical position.
3. Before mounting, hold transmitter in selected location and
verify operation (see
Operation
).
Note:
If transmitter does
not operate correctly, see
Troubleshooting Guide
.
4. With transmitter held in place, mark the mounting holes with
a pencil or pointed object.
5. Remove transmitter and drill two 3/16" holes. Tap drywall
anchors (provided) into holes with a hammer.
6. Attach transmitter to wall using two screws (provided).
Operation
1. Verify that receiver has been properly installed. See
Re-
ceiver Information,
page 7.
2. Push the ON (top) button and release. The light should turn
on full bright.
3. Push the OFF (bottom) button and release. The light should
turn off.
4. Push the DIM button and release. The light should turn on at
a DIM level.

ENTRY SWITCH
Installation
Note:
Entry system includes a transmitter and mag-
net. The system can be used to signal that a door or
window has been opened or to automatically turn the
light on when entering a closet, attic, room, etc.
1. Remove Tab from Battery Chamber. Remove transmitter
back cover from transmitter using small, flat-blade screw-
driver. Gently pull tab out of battery chamber.
Removing Battery Tab
Important Considerations:
•Entry transmitter components are for indoor use only.
•The transmitter should be mounted on the frame of door or
window (stationary surface). The magnet should be mounted
on door or window (moving surface). See illustration below for
mounting configurations and possible directions of movement.

•A compatible receiver must be used to complete the system.
The receiver should be located within 100 feet (30 m) of
transmitter (maximum distance may vary depending on type of
structures between transmitter and receiver).
2. Select mounting location for entry transmitter.
Note:
Maximum
gap between transmitter and magnet is 3/8" and the arrows
located on the face of each component must be in alignment (see
illustration). Also, the front surfaces of the transmitter and magnet
must be flush. If magnet is recessed, use magnet extension and
two long screws (provided) to ensure proper alignment.

3. Before mounting, hold transmitter and magnet in selected
location and verify operation. While holding the transmitter
stationary, move the magnet away from transmitter to simu-
late door or window being opened. Verify red LED on
transmitter flashes momentarily and receiver turns light on.
Return magnet to original position simulating door or window
being closed. Verify red LED on transmitter flashes momen-
tarily and receiver turns light off.
Note:
If transmitter does not
operate correctly, see
Troubleshooting Guide
.
4. Mount Transmitter.
Screw Mounting: Attach transmitter back cover to wall using
two short screws (provided). Snap transmitter onto back
cover.
Tape Mounting: Apply large piece of foam tape (provided)
to the transmitter back cover. Stick transmitter back cover to
frame of door or window in desired position. Snap transmitter
onto back cover.
5. Repeat step 4 to attach magnet to door or window.
Battery Replacement
The entry transmitter requires a type CR2032, 3-volt lithium
battery to operate. The transmitter is shipped with the battery
installed. With typical use, the battery will last approximately five
years. Remove battery when transmitter will not be used for an
extended period of time.
1. Remove transmitter from
transmitter back cover
using small, flat-blade
screwdriver.
2. Carefully pry battery
loose with small, flat-
blade screwdriver. Bat-
tery will pop up.
3. Install replacement battery
in socket plus (+) side up
(see illustration). Press
down on battery until it
snaps into place.
4. Snap transmitter onto
back cover.
Note:
The magnet does not require a battery.

WIRELESS MOTION SENSOR
Features:
•No wiring required.
•Up to 70 feet sensing range, 180° Coverage.
•Adjustable sensitivity.
•Day/Night or Night only operation.
•Test mode.
•Uses 2 AA batteries.
•Wall or eave mount.
•Controls receivers up to 100 feet away.
Select Night or 24 Hour Mode
This sensor is able to detect motion day and night or night only.
To set the detection mode, remove rear panel by sliding the
panel down. Remove batteries if necessary. Slide the DETECT
switch to either the DAY/NIGHT or NIGHT ONLY position.
Replace rear panel by reversing the above instructions.
Installing Batteries
Before mounting sensor, remove rear panel by sliding the panel
down. Install 2 AA batteries according to polarity markings inside
the battery compartment. Replace rear panel by reversing the
above instructions.
Installing Motion Sensor
1. Install sensor mounting bracket where motion detection is
desired. Attach sensor mounting bracket to a sturdy object
(
i.e.
tree, post, house, etc.) using two screws provided. Make
sure unit has an unobstructed view.
Note:
If mounting bracket
to a curved surface, attach mounting bracket vertically.
2. Install motion sensor to mounting bracket. Using a Philips-
head screwdriver, loosen the clamp screw on the mounting
bracket. Insert swivel ball mount on sensor into mounting
bracket socket (
Note:
You should hear a snap). Aim sensor
toward area where detection is desired. Tighten clamp screw.
IMPORTANT:
The sensor must be mounted with the bottom
cover facing down in order to maintain water tightness.
Installing Motion Sensor
Check Operation and Adjustment
Note:
When first turned on or when switching modes wait 1 1/2
minutes.
The RANGE control and ON-TIME control are located on the
bottom of the sensor. Using your fingernails or a small, flat-head
screwdriver, gently pry the cover until it opens.
1. Check Operation. Set the ON-TIME control to TEST mode.
Walk in front of sensor unit. The LED indicator light located on
the bottom of the sensor should flash when motion is detected.
2. Adjust Sensor. Turn the RANGE control to the mid position
and ON-TIME control to the TEST position. Walk through
coverage area noting where you are when the LED begins to
flash. Loosen the clamp screw and move the sensor to
change the coverage area. Tighten clamp screw when
finished. Do not overtighten clamp screw.
3. Adjust Range Control. To increase sensitivity, turn the RANGE
control toward MAX. To decrease sensitivity, turn the RANGE
control toward MIN.
Note:
If the RANGE is set too high, false
triggering may result in some environments.
Note:
When using test mode to check operation in the day time:
A. Set the DETECT control switch to DAY/NIGHT and
B. Set the ON-TIME control to TEST.
4. Set ON-TIME Control. Determine the amount of time you
want the connected device to stay on after motion is detected
(1 or 5 minutes). Slide the ON-TIME control to the corre-
sponding setting.
IMPORTANT:
Avoid Aiming Control At:
•Objects that change temperature rapidly, such as heating
vents and air conditioners. These heat sources could cause
false triggering.
•Areas where pets or traffic may trigger the control.
•Nearby large, light colored objects reflecting light may trigger
the shut-off feature. Do not point other lights at the sensor.
