more information.

Sensor placement guidelines

The sensor should be mounted in such a way that:

• 

  Small movements are detected for the workspace

  Large movements are detected for the entire room,  

and in particular for the area near the doorway.

  Motion from adjectent areas, e.g. the hallway, is not 

picked up.

The

 

 center of a room is usually not a good location. 

Moving the sensor towards the wall where the door is 
located may still cover the entire room, while blocking 
unwanted detection of motion from the hallway.
The sen

• 

sor should not be placed close to heat 

sources (especially incandescent lamps) or HVAC 
exhausts.

4

 Fix the mounting plate onto the sensor‘s location, 

using the mounting hardware.  Alternatively, use 
toggle bolts (not included).

5

 Place the sensor onto the mounting plate, and rotate 

clockwise to fix.

6

 If needed, pull out the sensor shield (indicated on the 

ring with a dot), and rotate it to the required direction.

Product description  

OccuSwitch

TM 

Wireless is a system for automatically controlling 

the lights based on occupancy.  The system uses two parts: a 
ceiling-mounted sensor and a switch. The switch will turn the 
lights on and off based on the information it wirelessly gets from 
the battery-powered sensor.

Key figures

Sensor coverage area

Will vary based on ceiling height  
(up to 12ft).  
For a typical height of 8ft (2.4m): 
Large motion 17.7 x 23.6ft (5.40m x 7.20m)
Small motion 11.8 x 17.7ft (3.60m x 5.40m)
Larger areas will require multiple sensors. 

Wireless range

Switch - sensor: 50ft (17m) 
Switch - switch (same plane): 18ft (6m) 
Switch - switch (line of sight): 50ft (17m)

Maximum network size

10 Sensors/switches (any combination)

SAFETY

Parts of the switch carry mains power, which is a potential lethal 

voltage. This product was designed and manufactured to ensure 

maximum safety during operation and service.  Always read these 

safety instructions before installing, maintaining or servicing the 

product, and strictly comply with these instructions.

General

- If you are unsure about any part of these installation 

instructions, consult a qualified electrician.

- The devices are designed for indoor use only.  

Do not expose the product to rain or moisture, to avoid short 

circuit. Short circuit may cause fire or electric shock hazard. 

Operate the devices between 41°F and 104°F (5°C and 40°C).

- Use only a soft damp cloth to clean devices, never use any 

abrasive or chemical cleaner.

- Whenever it is suspected that safety protection is impaired, 

the product must be made inoperative and secured against 

unintended operation. The device must be serviced or 

replaced as soon as possible. Safety is likely to be impaired 

if, for example, the equipment fails to perform the intended 

functions or if the equipment shows visible damage.

- Do not paint the devices.

Switch only

- Disconnect power at circuit breaker or fuse when servicing, 

installing or removing the fixture of the switch.

- Use the switch only with copper or copper clad wire.

- Connect the switch to the power mains according to the 

wiring scheme in this manual. 

Sensor only

- The sensor cannot be used to control any load, without a 

compatible switch.

- Use only high-quality 3.6V lithium-thionyl chloride batteries 

with the sensor: one (1) Lithium-thionyl chloride (AA, 3.6V). 

Using improperly rated batteries may damage the sensor. 

- Dispose of used batteries promptly. Keep batteries away from 

children, do not disassemble and do not dispose of in fire.

  WARNING: 

This product must not be used to 

control equipment that could create hazardous situations when 
operated accidentally, like entrapment. Examples of equipment 
that must not be controlled with this product include (but are 
not limited to) motorized gates, garage doors, industrial doors, 
(microwave) ovens, heating devices etc. 

  WARNING: 

It is the installer’s responsibility to 

ensure that the equipment being controlled is visible from every 
control location and that only suitable equipment is connected 
to these controls. Failure to do so could result in serious injury 
or death.

CAUTION: 

The battery used with the sensor device may 

present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not 
recharge, disassemble, heat above 100°C, or incinerate.  Replace 
battery with Lithium-thionyl chloride (AA 3.6V) only.  
Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.
