DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The CD-250 Multi-way Dimming Wall Switch Vacancy Sensor is designed to
replace a standard single pole or multi-way (3-way, 4-way) switch or dimmer. It
is ideal for living and dining rooms, family rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms and any
other indoor area in a residential space where occupancy sensor-based manual
ON/OFF and Dimming control is desirable.
Like a standard switch, you press the ON/OFF/DIM button to turn the dimmable
lighting load ON and OFF. Unlike a standard switch, the CD-250 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 CD-250 automatically turns the load back ON. Like
a standard dimmer, once the lighting load is ON, you can dim it UP or DOWN by
pushing and holding the ON/OFF/DIM button. When you push the ON/OFF/DIM
button to turn the dimmable load ON, the CD-250 recalls the last used dimming
level.
The CD-250 can be wired with up to 3 additional CD-250s for multi-way Manual-
ON/OFF, Auto-OFF of one or several loads (up to one load connected to each CD-
250). It can also be wired to up to 4 RH-253 single pole momentary wall switches
for multi-way Manual-ON/OFF Automatic-OFF control of one load.
Lighted Switch
To help you locate the CD-250 in a dark room, the amber LED illuminates the ON/
OFF/DIM button while the controlled load is OFF. When the controlled load is ON,
the LED is OFF.
The lighted switch ON/OFF/DIM button can be used to manually turn ON and OFF
the lighting load and to dim it UP and DOWN.
To turn the load ON, tap fi rmly on the ON/OFF/DIM button once. The amber LED
turns OFF and the load turns ON to the last used dimming level. The lighting load
may or may not appear to be ON depending on how low the lights were set the
last time they were dimmed.
Once the load has been turned ON, push and hold the ON/OFF/DIM button to dim
the lights UP or DOWN. To reverse the dimming direction momentarily release
the ON/OFF/DIM button, then push and hold it again. This feature will allow you
to reach the desired dimming level quicker.
