The RS-150BA-N Vacancy Sensor is designed to replace a standard light or fan switch.
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-150BA-N automatically turns OFF the controlled load after
the coverage area has been vacant for 30 minutes. If motion is detected within 30 seconds after it
automatically turns OFF, the RS-150BA-N automatically turns the load back ON.
Nightlight
While the controlled load is OFF, the nightlight built into the RS-150BA-N is ON. When the load is ON,
the nightlight is OFF.
Coverage Area
The RS-150BA-N has a maximum coverage range of 180 degrees and a coverage area of 600
square feet (56 square meters). The sensor must have a clear and unobstructed view of the coverage
area. Objects blocking the sensor's lens may prevent detection thereby causing the light to turn OFF
even though someone is in the area. Windows, glass doors, and other transparent barriers will
obstruct the sensor's view and prevent detection.
1. Prepare the switch box.
After the power is turned OFF at the circuit breaker box, remove the
existing wall plate and mounting screws. Pull the old switch out from
the wall box.
2. Identify the type of circuit.
In a Single Pole Circuit (see Fig. 2), two single wires connect to two
screws on the existing switch. A ground wire may also be present and
connected to a ground terminal on the old switch. A neutral wire should
also be present in the wall box.
CAUTION: For your safety: Connecting a proper ground to the sensor
provides protection against electrical shock in the event of certain
fault conditions. If a proper ground is not available, consult with a qualified electrician before
continuing installation.
Only connect the RS-150BA-N to a Single Pole Circuit. The RS-150BA-N is not suitable for
3-way switching. If the existing wiring does not match the description for a Single Pole Circuit,
you should consult with a qualified electrician.
3. Prepare the Wires.
Tag the wires currently connected to the existing switch, so that they can be identified later.
Disconnect the wires. Make sure the insulation is stripped off the wires to expose their copper cores to the length indicated by the
"Strip Gauge," in Fig. 3 (approximately 1/2 inch).
