User Manual
Product Description
OccuSwitch™ Wireless automatically controls the lights
based on occupancy and daylight. The system has two
parts: ceiling-mounted sensor and wall mount power
handling device (switch or dimmer). The switch will turn
the lights On and Off based on the information received
from the wireless occupancy sensor. The dimmer will
dim lights Up and Down to the appropriate intensity
base on the available daylight in the space. The dimmer
can also manually dim the lights.

4 Choose the best location on the ceiling to mount
sensor. The sensor needs to cover the occupied
area. If the area is too large, more sensors can
be added and linked to the same switches and
dimmers.
Sensor mounting Plate
The sensor mounting plate can be attached to the
ceiling tile using the supplied hardware. For other
ceiling materials use appropriate hardware to secure
permanently. After the mounting plate is installed the
sensor by inserting into the mounting plate and turn-
ing clock wise to secure it.

tion , see back of this sheet
Sensor placement guidelines
The sensor should be mounted in such a way that:
Small movements are detected for the space
Large movements are detected for the entire
room, and in particular for the area near the
doorway. Motion from adjacent areas, e.g. the
hallway, is not detected.
The center of a room is usually not a good loca-
tion. Moving the sensor towards the wall where
the door is located, but not seeing out the door-
way, may still cover the entire room, while block-
ing unwanted detection of motion from the
hallway. If needed, pull out the sensor shield
(indicated on the ring with a dot), and rotate it to
the required direction.
The sensor should not be placed close to heat
sources (especially incandescent lamps) or HVAC
exhausts.

Note: After wall device is installed and power is re-
turned, test all wall devices by pressing the rocker
switch ON/OFF. All switches/dimmers should control
connected loads. If they do not control the lights
check wiring.
Create a Network: To create a wireless net-
work by combination of up to 16 switches, dimmers
and sensors take the following steps.
HINT: to prevent cross-linking rooms only one person
should do the links.
3 LINK DEVICES
Troubleshooting
See LEDs and buttons description.
When linking, if Red LED on the sensor turns On,
then linking failed. Try again and move the sensor
closer to the switch, (within 50ft.)
When linking, if Red LED on the sensor starts to
blink, you pressed and held the LINK button too
long. The sensor entered the ACTION menu. Press
and hold the link button to exit.
Warning: If the green LED starts blinking on another
switch/dimmer, that switch/dimmer is now also in
linking mode, starting its own network. Press the
LINK button on that switch/dimmer and try the
whole procedure again. If the problem persists, the
distance between the new switch/dimmer and the
existing switch may be too large (see Key figures).
Note: If the yellow LED is turned ON after linking, the
switch/dimmer is in manual override. After the sensor
timer has expired, it will return to automatic mode and
the LED will go off. Or, hold down the ON rocker until
the yellow LED goes out, returning to auto mode.
RESET to factory default settings - If the links or set-up
are not correct they can be cleared in each device by
holding down the LINK/ACTION Button for about 10
seconds. Release when LED’s briefly blink all together.
After releasing they step from RED - YELLOW - GREEN.
ACTION RESULTS

Multi-Sensor Placement
The Multi sensor with its photocell needs to see a
representative area of the space not just the desk. If it
is closer to the window, it dims more aggressively. If it
is on the other side of the light fixture it will dim less.
It is more important how far the sensor is from the
window then if it is over the desk.

Troubleshooting System
The lights turn off too quickly: The system has a
smart timer that adjust the off delay time automati-
cally. To change, set sensor’s minimum timeout dial to
a higher value.
The system is set to Manual ON, but lights turn on
automatically: When entering the area within 5 min-
utes after lights turning off, the system assumes that
turning off was undesired and turn ON the lights.
The system shows that a linked device is missing:
When a device is missing, use the ACTION #1 menu to
show all linked devices. If a sensor does not show as
linked, its battery may need to be replaced. If this does
not resolve the error, reset all devices and link them
again.
The lights immediately turn ON after being turned off
The sensor may be placed too close to a (heat generat-
ing) light source. Move the sensor to a better location.
Reset the device to factory defaults
To reset the device to its factory default configuration:
Press and hold the link button on the device for
more than 10 seconds. Release the button when the
red, yellow and green LEDs light briefly.
Maintenance
Routine lamp replacement
To safely do a routine lamp replacement,
on all switches, firmly press the OFF-side
until the rocker clicks into the position
where a yellow band with “OFF” becomes
visible.
The load is now temporarily separated
from the line voltage by an air gap switch,
so you can safely replace the lamp.
WARNING: If the air gap function is not
used, the power may be switched ON
unintentionally by the sensor while replac-
ing the lamp. This could result in serious
injury or death.
WARNING: For any procedure other
than lamp replacement, power must be
disconnected at the main electric panel.
Use approved LOCK-OUT/TAG-OUT proce-
dures to insure that the circuit is not acti-
vated accidently. Working with power ON
is unsafe and can result in serious injury or
death.
Replacing the sensor battery
CAUTION: You must have read the
SAFETY section before replacing the
battery.
To replace the battery of the sensor:
1. Rotate the sensor counterclockwise
to remove from mounting plate.
2. In a safe and dry place, remove the
old battery and insert the new
battery.
CAUTION: Use only high-quality AA
size 3.6 V DC lithium-thionyl chlo-
ride batteries with the sensor.
Using improperly rated batteries
may damage the sensor.
3. Place the sensor back on the
mounting plate and rotate clock-
wise to fix it.
4. Dispose of used battery properly.
DO NOT throw in trash. Keep away
from children. Do not disassemble
and do not dispose of in fire.

Test sensor coverage
Once all devices are installed, linked and configured,
you can test the installation to ensure that:
The sensor detects motion in the workspace. Test to
make sure sensor does not pick up motion from adja-
cent areas, e.g. the hallway. This can be done at any-
time, see ACTION Menu for steps.
(Config #2)
Multi-Way Configuration - Several switches and
dimmers can be put in a group that control each oth-
ers load when operated manually.
You can create several independent control groups
linked to the ceiling sensors.
1. Use CONFIG menu item 2 - All wall devices will
start to blink: GREEN is included, RED is excluded.
2. Tap the ON button to include, OFF bottom, to
exclude.
3. Long CONFIG button press will save the settings.
4. Repeat from step 1 on different wall devices to
form more groups.
(Config #3)
Dimmer Response Curve - If
the Daylight dimming response
is too aggressive the Dimmer
can be set to respond less to
daylight. If the response is too
low the dimmer can be set to
react more to additional day-
light.
Dimmer Response Curve
1 Blink - Top LED -50%
2 Blink - 2nd LED -20%
3 Blink - 3rd LED -10%
4 Blink - 4th LED (default) Straight Line
5 Blink - 5th LED +10%
6 Blink - 6th LED +20%
7 Blink - Bottom LED +50%
(Action #3)
Daylight Calibration (FIRST TIME) - Only one
sensor can be linked to one Switch (Hold-back) or one
Dimmer (continuous dimming) for Daylight Regulation.
The first time the daylight Action Menu is activate the
system unlocks and links the senor to the wall device
for Daylight regulation. This can be done from the floor
before mounting the sensor.
Next time - After the first activation and calibration
the daylight menu can be run from the wall device to
recalibrate the daylight settings.
Calibration process - When the sensor and the wall
device enter calibration mode the
Tip: It is important that the daylight is constant and is
not too bright (no need to calibrate in the dark).
1. Use dimmer to dim to the required light level
using light meter on the work surface.
2. Go into action menu on the sensor to select
Calibration daylight regulation set-point menu
item. (Yellow LED starts Blinking)
3. Clear the area under the light sensor (walk away).
4. Automatic Configuration will start in about a
minute. All dimmers in the system go to 100%,
then switch off. The green LED on the device
turns on. Sensor confirms new setpoint using
green LED. The system enters automatic light
regulation mode.
Note: This process can be repeated anytime after the
first time from the wall device without touching the
(Config #1)
Manual ON / AUTO OFF (Title 24 mode) - This is
a popular setting for maximum energy savings. It force
the occupant to manual activate the lights when they
enter the space and automatically turn OFF the light
when they leave. This save energy by keep the lights
OFF until they are actually needed.
Finish
OccuSwitch Sensors and Wall Devices do not need any
regular maintenance. You may find as people change
space and future is re-arranged that you need to re-
calibrate the daylight functions. This can easily be
done at floor level from the wall device.
(Action #5)
Channel Changing - In some building environments
the radio signal used for OccuSwitch Wireless may
encounter interference from another radio device.
Channel changing activate the system automatic radio
analysis function toe reset the channel. Use this func-
tion if you are having communications issues.
Manual Mode - Manual mode is entered when the
rock switch is pressed and the Yellow LED comes On.
After sensors are linked, the system will return to auto
mode when the room if vacant and the delay timer
expire. To return to Auto Mode Hold down the On
rocker until the Yellow LED goes out.
