Wiring
CAUTION: The switchpack has a 120 VAC hot lead (black)
and a 277 VAC hot lead (orange). Confirm supply voltage
before wiring switchpack. Connecting the 277 V to the
120 V lead will damage the switchpack and any
connected sensors.
One switchpack may be wired to up to five sensors. One
sensor may control up to ten switchpacks. DO NOT exceed
these limits.
The switchpack has isolated contacts with ratings of:
15A
120 VAC Tungsten
20A
120 VAC Ballast
20A
277 VAC Ballast
Each sensor is provided with Teflon-insulated pigtails. The
sensor and switchpack are interconnected using 18 AWG
Class 2 wiring per NEC 725. Use UL-recognized Teflon-
insulated wire approved for plenum areas per NEC 725-2(b)
where required (GE wire # ROSWIRE-4P).
Wire the sensor(s), switchpack(s) and load as shown above.

Checkout and Adjustment
Once installed, the sensors must be adjusted for suitable
sensitivity and time delay. These adjustments can be made
only after the entire system is installed and power is applied
to the switchpack and to the lighting circuit. Adjustments
should be made with the HVAC system on. See the Sensor
Adjustment illustration below left.
1. Using a small screwdriver, set the "Minutes" control to
minimum by turning the adjustment completely counter-
clockwise. Set the "Range" control to the midpoint.
2. If override switches were installed, check their operation.
3. Stand completely still or leave the room. In approximately
15 seconds, the lights should go out.
4. Walk towards the sensor and the lights will come on. By
watching the red LED on the sensor, you can test the area
of coverage. The LED comes on only when the sensor is
detecting motion. Adjust the Range control to the lowest
position that provides adequate motion detection of a
person entering the area. Do not set higher than necessary.
Test and set Range control for each sensor if more than one
was installed.
5. If the red LED blinks when no motion is being made, or
does not go off at all, air motion from the HVAC system
may be activating the sensor. Reduce the Range control
until the LED goes out and stays out when no one is
moving. If this setting is loo low to respond to normal
motion, the sensor may need to be relocated away from the
air turbulence.
6. In smaller rooms, the sensor may be activated by people
moving by the doorway outside the room. Adjust the Range
control toward minimum to prevent this.
7. Set the time delay Minutes control to desired time for
lights to remain on after leaving the area. Minimum time is
approximately 15 seconds (for testing); maximum is about
30 minutes. Suggested time delay for conference rooms is
6-8 minutes; for classrooms, 8-10 minutes. An eight-minute
time delay is approximately 11 o'clock on the Minutes
control. People who remain still for very long periods may
need a longer time delay. If the lights go out while the
room is occupied, increase time slightly until optimum time
is reached.
