Description
The SIR-LONG Corner/Wall Mount Low Voltage Occupancy Sensor is a Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensing
lighting control, used for energy savings and convenience. When motion is detected, the blue wire is electronically
connected to the red wire, energizing the relay in the switchpack to turn ON the load. If vacancy is detected, the
blue wire is disconnected from the red, causing the relay to open turning OFF the load. The red lead is 10 to 30 VDC
supply, the black lead is common, and the blue is the relay control. (-D models: yellow is second relay control)
PIR Technology
The sensor's segmented lens divides the field of view into sensor zones, and detects the changes in temperature
that are created when a person, or part of a person as small as a hand, passes into or out of a sensor zone.
The sensor includes self-adaptive technology that continually adjusts to conditions by adjusting sensitivity and
time delay in real-time. By adjusting sensitivity and time delay automatically, the sensor is maximizing the potential
energy savings that are available in the particular application.
The Daylighting feature (-D model only: yellow control lead only) prevents lights from turning ON when the room is
adequately illuminated by natural light.
Walk-Through feature maximizes energy savings by not leaving the lights ON after a momentary occupancy. The
sensor will switch the lights ON when it detects a person entering the area. If the sensor does not continue to
detect motion 30 seconds following the initial activation, it will automatically go to a shorter 2 minute time delay.
In Automatic On Mode, the lights turn ON when a person enters the room. In Manual-ON Mode, the lights are
turned ON by activating a momentary switch (model # RS2-*) that is connected to the sensor. When used with 2
level lighting (-D model only), bi-level Automatic-ON can be achieved which allows Zone 1 to come ON automatically
upon occupancy. Zone 2 does not come ON unless the occupant presses the optional momentary switch.

Location
The maximum coverage area may vary somewhat according to room shape and the presence of
obstacles. Follow the coverage diagram concerning major and minor motion coverage. The sensor
must have a clear view of the area to be controlled. The sensor will not "see" through glass. Mounting
height should not exceed 12 feet. Optimum mounting height is 10 feet. To prevent false activation,
the sensor should be mounted away from the air supply duct a minimum of 4 to 6 feet. Mounting
at fixture height is most effective.
• For indoor use only.
• For Use with GE Switchpacks & Systems Only.
• Do not run any GE Low Voltage Wiring in the
same conduit as power conductors.

Wiring
CAUTION: Before installing or performing any service on a GE system, the power MUST be turned OFF at the
branch circuit breaker. According to NEC 240-83(d), if the branch circuit breaker is used as the main switch for
a fluorescent lighting circuit, the circuit breaker should be marked "SWD". All installations should be in compli-
ance with the National Electric Code and all state and local codes.
NOTE REGARDING COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS: The life of some compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) is shortened
byfrequentautomaticormanualswitching. CheckwithCFLandballastmanufacturertodeterminetheeffectsofcycling.
1. Make sure power is turned OFF at the branch circuit breaker.
2. Wire units as shown in wiring diagrams per applicable voltage requirements. (Use twist-on wire connectors
for all connections) CAP ALL UNUSED WIRE LEADS.
3. Mount unit to wall, ceiling, junction box, or round fixture with raceway.
4. Turn power back ON at the branch circuit breaker and wait 2 minutes for the unit to stabilize.
5. Make necessary adjustments. (See Checkout and Adjustments section)
