DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The RS-250 Universal Application Wall Switch Vacancy Sensor is designed to 
replace a standard light or fan switch. It is ideal for living and dining rooms, family 
rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms and any other indoor area in a residential space 
where occupancy sensor-based manual ON/OFF controls are desirable. 

Like a standard switch, you press the ON/OFF button to turn the light or fan 
(controlled load) ON and OFF. Unlike a standard switch, the RS-250 automatically 
turns OFF the controlled load after the coverage area has been vacant for a period 
of time (Time Delay). If motion is detected within 30 seconds after it automatically 
turns OFF, the RS-250 automatically turns the load back ON.

While the sensor is factory preset as a Vacancy Sensor with manual ON operation, 
it can be adjusted to work as an Occupancy Sensor that turns the controlled load 
ON automatically upon detection of occupancy in the area.

Lighted Switch

To help you locate the RS-250 in a dark room, the amber LED illuminates the 
ON/OFF button while the controlled load is OFF. When the controlled load is ON, 
the LED is OFF.

Operating Modes

There are two operating modes to select from during set up:

MODE 1

 

Vacancy sensor (Manual-ON/OFF, Auto-OFF): The user must press 

the ON/OFF button to turn the load ON. The RS-250 keeps the load ON until no 
motion is detected for the selected time delay period (adjustable from 15 seconds 
to 30 minutes). There is a 30 second reset delay. If motion is detected during this 
time, the sensor turns the load back on automatically. After the reset delay time 
has elapsed, the ON/OFF button must be pressed to turn ON the load.

MODE 2

 

Occupancy sensor (Auto-ON/OFF with manual control and reset 

to auto after 5 minutes of vacancy): The load turns ON and OFF automatically 
based on occupancy detection. The RS-250 keeps the load ON until no motion is 
detected for the selected time delay period. If the load is turned OFF manually, 
automatic-ON is re-enabled when no motion is detected for 5 minutes. This 
prevents the load from being turned ON after it was deliberately turned OFF.
