Motion Sensing
Wall Switch
The 6109 Motion Sensing Wall Switch dectects motion to turn on
lights for an adjustable amount of time. A built-in photo cell can be
set to keep lights off when the lights aren't needed. The unit has
excellent sensitivity and a wide 180
0
detection range. It can be used
with incandescent lighting as well as rapid start fluorescent lighting.
Two LEDs allow for easy mode identification. (Not for use with elec-
tronic ballasts)
Installation is as easy as replacing a wall switch. However, some
codes require installation by a qualified electrician.
Features include:
• 180
0
motion detection angle
• Adjustable on-time from 12 sec. to 30 min.
• Adjustable photocell
• Works with incandescent and rapid start fluorescent lighting (Not
for use with electronic ballasts)
• Works with motors up to 1/6 hp.
• Push button selectable ON AND AUTO modes.
WARNING: Turn power off at the circuit breaker before wiring.

The length of time that the lights stay on is
adjustable from 12 seconds to 30 minutes.
• Use a small screw driver to set the time by
using the diagram below as a guide.
Replace control panel cover and install the decorative wall plate. In installations where the Cooper motion
sensor switch is combined with other switches or outlets on an expanded box, a combination wall plate will
need to be purchased. Various combination wall plates are available at Home Centers and Electrical Supply
Stores.
Press the push button a couple of times to make sure it operates freely.
When the light in the room is at
the level you want the lights to
turn on, set the switch to the
AUTO position.
Put the TIME control to the 12
sec. (fully counter-clockwise)
position.
Put the LIGHT control to the mini-
mum dark (fully counter-clock-
wise) position.
Wait for the lights to turn off.
Turn the LIGHT adjustment clock-
wise in very small steps and wait
2 seconds before moving your
hand in front of the sensor.
Repeat until the lights controlled
by the sensor come on. The light
will now come on when the light
level is at or below the present
level and motion is detected.
To adjust the photocell:
MODE Selection Switch
Pressing the pushbutton selects one of three modes of operation: ON, OFF, AUTO
ON
: Lights stay on continuously.
The ON led is lit.
OFF
: Lights stay off.
The AUTO led and the ON led are not lit.
AUTO
: Lights come on for time set when motion is detected and the light level is below the set level.
The AUTO led is on and the ON led is off.
*When in the OFF mode, the circuit is still alive. Turn off circuit breaker before re-lamping.

The sensor can be prevented from turning on lights when
there is already enough light in the room. Use a small
screw driver to set the light level using this
diagram as a guide. In the fully clockwise position, the
sensor turns on lights even in full daylight. In the fully
counter-clockwise poition, the sensor only turns on lights
when the surrounding light level is very low.

GENERAL APPLICATION INFORMATION
The detector is more sensitive to motion across the front of the sensor than to motion towards the sensor.
The detector senses heat in motion and possible heat sources that change temperature quickly. Therefore, to
avoid false triggering, avoid placing the sensor where it will be aimed at air conditioners, heaters, and other
sources of heat or cold.
NEW APPLICATION
Choose a location where the motion sensor has a clear view of
the entire area where occupant motion may occur.
RETROFIT APPLICATION
Motion sensing switch will replace existing wall switch. Use only
where the existing switch location provides a clear view of the
occupied area.
Included are: • The sensor switch • Cover plate • 3 wire connectors • 2 large screws • 2 small screws.
