MODEL NUMBERS
SWX-851-xx
* xx = color (WH, IV, AL, GY)
OVERVIEW
The SENSORWORX wireless wall switch load controller links to remote occupancy
sensors and switches without low voltage wiring in order to provide automatic lighting
control. Designed with contractors in mind, the unit is significantly shallower than typical
wall controllers, resulting in less crowded wall boxes. Additionally, versatile wiring
enables usage with or without a neutral connection and never requires a minimum load.
This switch also matches the SENSORWORX family of wall switch occupancy sensors
and 0-10V dimming wall switch sensors. All SENSORWORX products are proudly made
in the USA.
BASIC OPERATION
A received wireless message indicating occupancy from one or more wirelessly linked
sensors will trigger the unit's integrated relay to close. When configured for Vacancy
operation, lights must be initially switched on by pressing the unit's button (or by pressing
the ON button on a wirelessly linked wall station). Once closed, line voltage will flow
through the relay and turn on the connected lighting load. This wall switch load controller
maintains a master time delay that is reset every time a linked sensor reports occupancy.
Lights will be switched off once there hasn't been an occupancy message reported for the
duration of the time delay.

I cannot get the SWX-851 to enter the pairing mode by pressing the switch for any length of time - the blue light does not flash at all. What **** I doing wrong?

If the SENSORWORX SWX-851 Series does not enter pairing mode and the blue light does not flash, follow these steps:

1. Ensure Proper Power Supply – Verify that the device is receiving power and is correctly wired for 120/277VAC operation.
2. Press and Hold the Button Correctly – Hold the wall switch’s button for 3 seconds until the LED starts alternating blue and white, then release.
3. Check for Obstructions – Ensure no interference or nearby devices are disrupting wireless communication.
4. Reset the Device – If the issue persists, consider resetting the device by using the Forget Linked Devices procedure:
- Press and hold the button for 6 seconds until the LED flashes blue.
- Tap the button 4 times to enter the "Forget All Linked Devices" mode.
- Confirm by pressing the button 4 times again.
- Press and hold the button until the LED changes from blue to white, then release.

After resetting, try entering pairing mode again.

  • Page 3: Compatible Wireless Devices

    COMPATIBLE WIRELESS DEVICES The below chart lists the devices that can be used in a SENSORWORX wireless application. Note that sensors and remote switch & dimmer devices are transmit only devices and therefore must be linked to a load controller for switching or dimming of lighting.
  • Page 4: Configuration Settings

    CONFIGURATION SETTINGS All configuration settings for the wireless wall switch load controller are organized into several parameter functions with values that can be accessed and changed by pressing the unit’s push-button and observing the LEDs feedback. FUNCTION #2 OCCUPANCY TIME DELAY Unlike wired occupancy sensor systems, the time frame between when occupancy was detected last and connected lights turning off is a setting that is maintained in the load controller and not the sensor itself.
  • Page 5 CONFIGURATION SETTINGS (CONT.) FUNCTION #3: OPERATIONAL MODES Wireless wall switch load controllers have several sequence of operation choices. SETTING # MODE DESCRIPTION Pressing the unit’s button (or an ON button push on a linked wireless switch) is required to initially turn lights on. Lights will turn off automatically if Vacancy Mode the OCCUPANCY TIME DELAY (Function #2) expires between received occupied messages from a sensor.
  • Page 6 CONFIGURATION SETTINGS (CONT.) FUNCTION #5: RELAY ENABLE/DISABLE If the wall switch load controller is being used as a remote switch for another load controller and not controlling a lighting load of its own, the relay can be disabled. To disable, follow the below steps.
