DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The RWU600U Occupancy Sensor Switch is designed to replace a residential
light switch. It is ideal for laundry rooms, utility rooms, storage areas, closets
and any other indoor area in a residential building where occupancy sensor-
based automatic ON/OFF controls are desirable. The sensor requires no
adjustments to operate successfully in those particular applications for which it
was designed.
Lighted Switch
To help you locate the RWU600U in a dark room, a green LED illuminates the
ON/OFF button while the controlled light (load) is OFF. When the load is ON, the
LED is OFF.
Push Button
The push button can be used to manually turn ON and OFF the load. To turn the
load OFF, tap firmly on the push button once. The lighted switch will turn ON and
the load will turn OFF. If the load is turned OFF manually, Automatic-ON is
reenabled when no motion is detected for 5 minutes.
Time Delay
The RWU600U has a fixed time delay of 5 minutes. Lights will remain ON for
5 minutes after the last motion detection.
Coverage Area
The RWU600U has a maximum range of
180 degrees and a coverage area of 600 sq. feet
(56 sq, 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.

INSTALLATION & WIRING
Disconnect power to the wall switch box by turning OFF the circuit
breaker or removing the fuse for the circuit before installing the
RWU600U, replacing lamps, or doing any electrical work.
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.
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.
25'
Only connect the RWU600U to a Single Pole Circuit. The RWU600U is not
(7.6m)
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. If 3-way switching is required, use P&S 3-way occupancy sensor,
RW3U600.
3. Prepare the wires.
12'
Tag the wires connected to the existing switch, so that
(3.7m)
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
Gage" (in Fig. 3) (approx. 1/2 inch). A neutral wire
should also be present in the wall box.

indicated below. Cap
them securely using
the wire nuts provided.
