4. Wire the sensor.
5. Twist the existing wires together with the wire leads on the RS-150BA-N
sensor as indicated below. Cap them securely using the wire nuts provided.
See Fig 4.
• Connect the green or non-insulated (copper) GROUND wire from the
circuit to the ground terminal on the RS-150BA-N.
• Connect the NEUTRAL wire from the circuit and from the lamp or fan
(LOAD) to the white wire on the RS-150BA-N.
• Connect the power wire from the circuit (HOT) to the black wire on the
RS-150BA-N.
• Connect the power wire to the lamp or fan (LOAD) to the red wire on the
RS-150BA-N.
6. Put the RS-150BA-N in the wall box with the lens positioned above the
ON/OFF button (lens at top, button at bottom).
7. Secure it to the wall box with the screws provided.
8. Install industry standard decorator wall switch cover plate (not included).
9. Restore power to the circuit.
10. Turn ON the breaker or replace the fuse.
To test the detection coverage:
During the TEST mode, the controlled load turns ON for 5 seconds each time the sensor detects occupancy.
1. Press and hold the ON/OFF button. After 10 seconds the nightlight flashes. The load turns ON if it was not already ON. The sensor
is now in a TEST mode that lasts 5 minutes. (You can end the TEST mode sooner by pressing the ON/OFF button for another
10 seconds).
2. Move out of the coverage area or stand very still. The controlled load turns OFF after 5 seconds, if no motion is detected.
3. Move in the coverage area. The nightlight flashes each time the sensor detects motion and the controlled load turns ON for
4. 5 seconds.
After 5 seconds expire without motion detection, the load turns OFF.
The load turns ON automatically with the next motion detection and stays on for 5 seconds.
5. Repeat as necessary to ensure that the desired coverage areas are within detection range.
Load will not turn ON (nightlight is visible):
Press ON/OFF button. The load should turn ON. If not:
• Check the light bulb and/or motor switch on the fan mechanism.
• Turn OFF power to the circuit then check wire connections.
Load will not turn ON (nightlight is NOT visible):
• Check the light bulb and/or motor switch on the fan mechanism.
• Make certain that the circuit breaker is ON and functioning.
• Turn OFF power to the circuit then check wire connections.
• Call 888.879.8585 for technical support.
Load will not turn OFF:
• Make sure no motion is occurring in the coverage area until the 30 minute time delay expires.
• Hot air currents and heat radiating devices can cause false detection. Make sure the sensor is at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from
devices that are a significant heat source (such as heater, heater vent, high wattage light bulb).
• Press the ON/OFF button. If load does not turn OFF, turn OFF power to the circuit then check wire connections.
Wattstopper RS wall switches fit behind industry standard decorator style switch cover plates.
