DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The RW3U600 Multi-way Wall Switch Occupancy Sensors are designed to replace
standard multi-way (3-way, 4-way) switches. They are ideal for any room with
multiple entries such as living and dining rooms, family rooms, bedrooms,
bathrooms, hallways, and any other indoor space where occupancy sensor-based
controls are desirable.
The RW3U600 has 2 modes of operation - vacancy or occupancy sensor. While the
sensor is factory preset as a Vacancy Sensor with manual ON operation, it can
be adjusted to work as an occupancy sensor that turns the controlled load ON
automatically upon detection of occupancy in the area.
In vacancy sensor mode, you can press the ON/OFF button to turn the light or fan
(controlled load) ON and OFF like a standard switch. In occupancy sensor mode, the
lights will turn on automatically when the space becomes occupied. The RW3U600
automatically turns OFF the controlled load after the coverage area has been vacant
for a period of time (Time Delay). If motion is detected within 30 seconds after it
automatically turns OFF, the RW3U600 automatically turns the load back ON.
Lighted Switch
To help you locate the RW3U600 in a dark room, the green LED illuminates the
ON/OFF button while the controlled load is OFF. When the controlled load is ON,
the LED is OFF.
Operating Modes
For multi-way operation, the Operating Mode must be the same in all sensors
related to the same load. There are two operating modes to select from:
MODE 1 Vacancy sensor (Manual-ON/OFF, Auto-OFF): The user must press the
ON/OFF button to turn the load ON. The RW3U600 keeps the load ON until no
motion is detected by any of the related RW3U600s for the time delay period. There
is also a 30 second reset delay after the automatic shut-off. If motion is detected
during this time, the sensor turns the load back on automatically. After the
30 second reset delay has elapsed, the ON/OFF button must be pressed to turn
ON the load.
MODE 2 Occupancy sensor (Auto-ON/OFF with manual control and reset to auto
after 5 minutes of vacancy): The load turns ON and OFF automatically based on
occupancy detection. Once turned ON the RW3U600 keeps the load ON until no
motion is detected by any of the related RW3U600s for the time delay period. If
the load is turned OFF manually, automatic-ON is re-enabled when no motion is
detected for 5 minutes. This prevents the load from being turned on after it was
deliberately turned OFF.

- Page 2 Time Delay The time delay can be selected by the user during set up. It can be adjusted to any of these fixed values:15 seconds/5 minutes/15 minutes/30 minutes. All of the sensors related to the same load must be set for the same time delay. For additional information on how to adjust it, please read the SENSOR ADJUSTMENT & PROGRAMMING section of this installation manual. Light Level When the operating mode is set for occupancy sensor, Mode 2 (Auto-ON) this feature prevents the sensor from automatically turning the lights ON if there is already enough light in the area. In a multi-way application, each sensor monitors the light level at it’s location. If any sensor related to the load detects motion AND the measured light level in that sensor’s area is lower than it’s Light Level setting, the load turns ON. To adjust the light level, please read the SENSOR ADJUSTMENT & PROGRAMMING section of this installation manual. Coverage Area The RW3U600 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. Fig. 1: Sensor Coverage Area INSTALLATION & WIRING WARNING Disconnect power to the wall switch box by turning OFF the circuit breaker or removing the fuse for the circuit before installing the RW3U600, replacing lamps, or doing any electrical work. 1. P repare 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. I dentify the type of circuit. You may connect the RW3U600 to a single pole or multi-way circuit. These instructions describe only the 3-way circuit application. For information about other applications, consult technical support. If you are unable to clearly...
- Page 3 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. 3. P repare 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 of the wires to expose their copper cores to the length indicated by the Fig. 3: Wire “Strip Gage,” in Fig. 3. (approx. 1/2 inch). Stripping 4. W ire the sensor. Twist the existing wires together with the wire leads on the RW3U600 sensors as indicated below. Cap them securely using wire nuts provided. (See Fig. 4 & 5) • Connect the green or non-insulated (copper) GROUND wire from the circuit to the green terminal on the RW3U600s. • Connect the NEUTRAL wire from the circuit and from the lamp (LOAD) to the white wire on the master RW3U600. The term “master” designates the RW3U600 that connects to the load. • Connect the neutral wire from the circuit to the white wire on the auxiliary RW3U600. • Connect the power wire from the circuit box (HOT) to the black wire on the auxiliary RW3U600 and to the TRAVELER 1 wire. • Connect the TRAVELER 1 wire from the black wire of the auxiliary RW3U600 to the black wire of the master RW3U600. • Connect the lamp power (LOAD) to the red wire on the master RW3U600. • Cap the red wire on the auxiliary RW3U600. • Connect the TRAVELER 2 wire coming from the yellow wire of another RW3U600 to the yellow wire of the RW3U600 that you are wiring.
- Page 4 SENSOR ADjUSTMENT & PROGRAMMING To program the RW3U600, you use controls located under the ON/OFF button. The wall switch cover plate must be removed to gain access to the mode button and adjustment trimpots under the ON/OFF button. For multi-way operation, the Operating Mode and the Time Delay adjustments should be the same in all sensors related to the same load. 1. Firmly grasp the side edges of the Lock Bar and gently pull it away from the switch face until it clicks. Do NOT attempt to pull the Lock Bar off of the switch! 2. Firmly grasp the side edges of the ON/ OFF button. Slide the button downward approximately 1/2 inch to expose the mode button and adjustment Fig. 6: Sensor Adjustment Controls trimpots. Setting up the Operating Mode Select the operating mode by pressing the Mode button. The green LED behind the switch button blinks to indicate the selected mode: • One blink indicates Mode 1 (Vacancy Sensor Operation), Manual-ON/OFF, Auto-OFF. • Two blinks indicates Mode 2 (Occupancy Sensor Operation), Auto-ON/OFF with manual control and reset to auto (after 5 minutes of vacancy). To change the operating mode, press the Mode button. The LED blinks to indicate the selected mode. After that, the unit operates in the indicated mode. Adjusting the Time Delay Turn the right trimpot counter-clockwise to reduce the amount of time the lights will remain on after the last motion detection (minimum = 15 seconds). Turn the same trimpot clockwise to increase this time delay (maximum = 30 minutes). You can only select the following values: 15 seconds/5 minutes/15 minutes/ 30 minutes. Warning: Do not overturn the Time Delay adjustment trimpot! Adjusting the Light Level This feature is factory set at maximum, so that even the brightest light will not...
- Page 5 TEST MODE To test the detection coverage: 1. Press and hold the ON/OFF button. After 10 seconds the lighted switch turns off. 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). During the TEST mode, the controlled load turns ON for 5 seconds each time the sensor that initiated the TEST mode detects occupancy. 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 into the coverage area for the unit that initiated the TEST mode. The controlled load turns ON for 5 seconds each time the sensor detects motion. After 5 seconds expire without motion detection, the load turns OFF. The controlled load turns ON automatically with the next motion detection and stays ON for 5 seconds. 4. Repeat as necessary to ensure that the desired coverage areas are within detection range. You can do this test for each RW3U600 in your multi-way configuration. So that you can determine the actual coverage area for each multi-way switch individually, only the RW3U600 that is in TEST mode will control the load. TROUBLESHOOTING Lighted switch is OFF, no load response to ON/OFF button press: • Make certain that the circuit breaker is on and functioning. Lighted switch is ON, no load response to ON/OFF button press: • Check the light bulb and/or motor switch on the fan mechanism. Load will not turn OFF automatically: • Press ON/OFF button. If the controlled load turns OFF, go to next step. • The time delay can be set from 15 seconds to 30 minutes. Check the time delay setting for each RW3U600 in your multi-way configuration. Ensure that all RW3U600s have the same time delay setting. • Ensure that there is no movement within the coverage area for all the sensors related to the load for the set time delay. Hot air currents and heat radiant 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 (e.g. heater,...
