 2.32.4 Key Features·  Low Maintenance. 10-year battery life. Convenient low-battery indicator.·  Multiple Devices. Up to 3 Sensors can work together to control lights for broader coverage in large spaces. Each Sensor may be added to a maximum of 10 receiving devices.  Sensor Operation  Occupancy Version – The Sensor will automatically turn the lights on when the space is occupied and automatically turn the lights off after the space is vacated.  Vacancy-Only Version – The lights must be manually turned on* at the dimming or switching device. The Sensor will automatically turn the lights off after the space is vacated.  *  There is a built-in 15-second vacancy grace period that begins when the lights are automatically turned off, during which the lights will automatically turn back on in response to motion. This grace period is provided as a safety and convenience feature in the event that the lights turn off while the room is still occupied, so that the user does not need to manually turn the lights back on. After 15 seconds, the grace period expires and the lights must be manually turned on. NOTE: For either Sensor version, the lights can also be manually turned off at any time by using the dimming or switching device directly.BALutron Electronics Co., Inc.7200 Suter RoadCoopersburg, PA 18036-1299, U.S.A.Printed in the U.S.A. 07/10 P/N 041-272 Rev.

These Sensors detect the heat from people moving within an area to determine when the space is occupied. The Sensors then transmit the appropriate commands to the associated dimming or switching device to turn the lights on or off automatically, providing both convenience and exceptional energy savings. Install a Sensor in as little as 15 minutesPre-InstallationBefore setting up the Sensor, the corresponding dimming or switching device(s) should be installed. Refer to that product’s installation sheet for instructions.  Twist and remove mounting bracket to insert battery.Set-UpIn order for the Sensor to operate properly, it must fi rst be set up with a corresponding dimming or switching device. The procedure for setting up a Sensor with a Maestro Wireless® (MRF2-only) Dimmer or Electronic Switch is detailed below. If setting up a Sensor with a different device, visit www.lutron.com/occsensors or consult the installation guide for that device for the correct set-up procedure.Setting up a Sensor with a Maestro Wireless® Dimmer or Electronic SwitchPlace the Dimmer or Electronic Switch in set-up mode by pressing and holding the tap button for approximately 6 seconds until all LEDs on the device begin fl ashing. Release the tap button.Add the Sensor to the Dimmer or Electronic Switch by pressing and holding the “Lights Off” button on the front of the Sensor for approximately 6 seconds until the lens fl ashes briefl y. The lights in the room will also fl ash 3 times, indicating the Sensor has been successfully added. The Dimmer or Electronic Switch will exit set-up mode automatically. The “Lights On” and “Lights Off” buttons should now switch the lights in the room on and off, respectively, when pressed.Repeat the above procedure to set up the Sensor with any additional devices.Setting the Occupancy Light Level    (Occupancy version, dimming devices only)Set the Dimmer to the desired light level for entering the room.Save the occupancy light level by pressing and holding the “Lights On” button on the front of a Sensor that has been set up. After approximately 6 seconds, the lens will fl ash rapidly several times, indicating the light level has been saved. All Sensors set up with the Dimmer will now use the saved occupancy light level.D12C  Sensor Placement and Coverage  Before mounting the Sensor, please note the following:•   The Sensor is designed for ceiling use only. DO NOT install on ceilings higher than 12 ft (3.7 m) or non-ceiling surfaces. Doing so may signifi cantly inhibit the Sensor’s performance.•   The Sensor should be installed in a location where it has a good view of all parts of the room. The Sensor requires line of sight to operate properly. If you cannot see the Sensor, it cannot see you. The Sensor cannot see through glass objects such as patio or shower doors.•    DO NOT mount the Sensor within 4 ft (1.2 m) of HVAC vents, within 6 in (15 cm) of other RF devices, or within 4 ft (1.2 m) of light bulbs installed below the ceiling line.•   The Sensor may be installed up to 60 ft (18.3 m) away from the associated dimming or switching device(s) if they are in direct line of sight.  If there are walls or other barriers between the Sensor and receiving device(s), the Sensor should be located within 30 ft (9.1 m).•   Whenever possible, avoid placing the Sensor in a location where it has a broad view outside the intended space. If this is unavoidable, the lens can be masked to block the view of undesired areas (refer to section I. Lens Masking). •   The Sensor’s detection range is dependent on the ceiling height, as shown in the table below. Temporary Mounting MethodsIf you are uncertain about correctly positioning the Sensor, the following temporary mounting and testing procedures are recommended to verify proper performance before permanently installing the Sensor.Temporary Mounting: Drop CeilingUse this procedure if the Sensor will be mounted on a ceiling tile.The ceiling tile mounting wire is provided for both temporary and permanent mounting of the Sensor to drop ceilings composed of multiple tiles.  It is designed to allow temporary mounting, testing, and repositioning (if necessary) of the Sensor without damaging a ceiling tile. Once the Sensor’s fi nal position has been chosen, the mounting wire can be twisted to lock the Sensor in place permanently.Insert the ceiling tile mounting wire through the two smaller holes in the mounting bracket and replace the mounting bracket. Temporarily mount Sensor to a ceiling tile by inserting the wire legs through the tile, making sure the Sensor is fl ush to the tile.1.11.2Note: Do not twist wire legs together until G. Permanent Mounting Methods. 1.22.2Hallway falls within Sensor’scoverage area.Lens sections shown in white are masked with labels  Lens MaskLens sections shown in gray have not been masked2.12.42.3GIPermanent Mounting MethodsPermanent Mounting: Drop CeilingAfter the Sensor has been temporarily mounted, leave the Sensor in place on the tile and either take the tile down or remove an adjacent tile to gain access to the legs of the mounting wire on the back of the tile.Twist the wire legs together tightly so the mounting bracket remains snug against the tile. Then replace the tile.Permanent Mounting: Solid CeilingDrill two 3/16 in (4.6 mm) pilot holes for the provided screw anchors.Press the anchors into the holes and tap fl ush with a hammer.Place the fl at side of the mounting bracket against the ceiling and install the two provided screws using a hand screwdriver.Attach the Sensor to the mounting bracket by inserting and twisting in a clockwise direction until the Sensor locks into place.  1.1121ETesting Sensor CoverageWith the Sensor mounted on the ceiling, press and release the “Test: Sensor” button on the front of the device. The lens will glow briefl y, indicating the test mode has been entered.NOTE: There is a warm-up period of approximately 90 seconds after the batteries are installed before the test mode can be activated. If the button is pressed during this time, the lens will fl ash continuously until the warm-up period is complete, and then the test mode will be automatically entered.Timeout30 min15 min5 minAuto-On ActivityAlwaysLow lightDisableHAdvanced Set-Up (Optional)The Sensor features several advanced set-up modes. For the majority of installations, the default settings will provide the best performance and you will not need to utilize the advanced set-up.The Occupancy version of the Sensor has three adjustable advanced set-up modes: Timeout, Auto-On, and Activity. The Vacancy-Only version has only two modes (Auto-On not available). The default settings are listed below.                      Default Settings:    Timeout:  15 minutes    Auto-On:   Always (Occupancy version only)    Activity:      Low ActivityAdvanced Set-Up ModesTimeoutThe Sensor will turn the lights off if no motion occurs for the duration of the timeout period. There are four available timeout settings: 1, 5, 15, and 30 minutes.Auto-On (Occupancy version only)The automatic-on functionality of the Sensor can be adjusted to control how the lights respond upon initial occupancy. There are three available settings: Always, Low light, and Disable.Always: The lights will always turn on.Low light: The lights will only turn on automatically upon entry if there is not already suffi cient ambient light in the room.Disable: This setting converts the Sensor to vacancy mode. The lights will not automatically turn on but will still automatically turn off after vacancy. The lights must be manually turned on by using the associated dimming or switching device. NOTE: The 15-second vacancy grace period is active in this mode. Refer to the Sensor Operation section at the beginning of this document for more details.2345123FConfi rm the coverage area by walking through the space and observing the lens. The lens will glow solid every time motion is detected. If the lens remains off during motion, the Sensor cannot detect motion at that location.Press and release the “Test: Sensor” button again to exit the test mode. If the button is not pressed, the test mode will automatically time out 15 minutes after being enabled, or 5 minutes after the last detected motion if the room is vacated.If the Sensor has signifi cant trouble detecting motion during the test, it should be moved to another location and retested. If the Sensor still has poor detection from the new location, refer to the Troubleshooting section.NOTE:  If the Sensor is detecting motion in areas that are not desirable, such ashallways or adjacent rooms, refer to section I. Lens Masking.If Sensor detection is satisfactory during this test, perform the wireless communication test as described in section F. Testing Wireless Communication.Testing Wireless CommunicationThis test should be performed to verify that the Sensor has been correctly set up with the corresponding dimming or switching device and that there is proper wireless communication from the chosen Sensor location.If the lights in the room are not on, turn them ON manually at the dimming or switching device.Press and release the “Lights Off” button on the front of the Sensor. The lights should turn OFF.Press and release the “Lights On” button on the front of the Sensor.

There are three available activity settings: Low Activity, Medium Activity, and High Activity.Low Activity: This is the most sensitive setting and will detect very slight motions. This is the recommended setting, as it will work well for nearly all applications. It is ideal for spaces where occupants will often be seated for long periods of time.Medium Activity*: This setting is slightly less sensitive than the Low Activity setting and can be used for spaces that experience normal activity.High Activity*: This is the least sensitive setting and can be used for spaces that will generally only experience large motions, such as foot traffi c.*  The Low Activity setting is the default and will perform best for most applications. Rarely, if the Sensor is placed near external noise sources such as heating vents, air conditioning vents, or light bulbs, it may turn the lights on without occupancy or keep the lights on too long after vacancy. If this occurs, changing the sensitivity to Medium Activity or High Activity should resolve the problem.Advanced Set-Up OperationThe advanced set-up is accessed by using the buttons on the back of the Sensor.Check SettingsTo display the current setting, press and release the desired button. An LED will illuminate briefl y, indicating the current setting.Change SettingsThe standard settings for Timeout, Auto-On, and Activity are changed using the procedure described below in the left column. The procedure for selecting a 1-minute timeout is slightly different and described below in the right column.       Standard Modes         1-Minute Timeout*1To adjust a setting, press and hold the desired button until the LED corresponding to the current setting begins fl ashing rapidly, indicating the setting can now be adjusted.1To select a 1-minute timeout, press and hold the timeout button for approximately 10 seconds until all 3 LEDs begin fl ashing rapidly.2Each subsequent button press of less than 2 seconds will increment to the next available setting. Pressing any of the other buttons will have no effect.2To save the 1-minute timeout setting, press and hold the timeout button until all 3 LEDs turn on solid, indicating the 1-minute timeout has been saved.3To save the selected setting, press and hold the button until the LED turns on solid. This indicates the saved setting.         *  The 1-minute timeout is intended for use in high-activity, briefl y occupied areas only (e.g., closet, laundry room, etc.). Do not use this setting in areas that experience minor motion or extended occupancy (e.g., offi ce, bathroom, etc.), as the lights may unexpectedly turn off.Lens Masking (Optional)  Whenever possible, the Sensor should be installed in a location where it cannot easily see into areas outside the intended space, such as hallways or adjacent rooms. If this situation cannot be avoided, portions of the lens may be masked with the provided labels to block the Sensor’s view of the undesired areas. Note: Apply mask to outside of lens only; do not disassemble sensor.·  It is recommended to remove the Sensor from the mounting bracket before applying the masking labels.  NOTE:  The Sensor can be screwed onto the mounting bracket in several different orientations. Be sure to note the Sensor’s orientation before taking it down and replace the Sensor in the same orientation to ensure the intended area gets blocked.·  Outer lens sections correspond to the detection regions furthest away from the Sensor, while inner sections correspond to regions closer to the Sensor.·  Be careful when applying the labels to avoid creating gaps between adjacent masked sections. The Sensor may detect motion through inadvertent gaps. 33.2
