Entrapment hazard.
To avoid the risk of entrapment, serious injury, or death, these controls must not be used to control equipment which is not visible from every control location or which could create hazardous situations such as entrapment if operated accidentally. Examples of such equipment which must not be operated by these controls include (but are not limited to) motorized gates, garage doors, industrial doors, microwave ovens, heating pads, etc. It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that the equipment being controlled is visible from every control location and that only suitable equipment is connected to these controls. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.

Sensor Operation

  • Occupancy Version
    The Sensor will automatically turn the lights on when the space is occupied and automatically turn the lights off after the space is vacated.
  • Vacancy Only Version
    The lights must be manually turned on at the dimming or switching device. The Sensor will automatically turn the lights off after the space is vacated.

Pre-Installation

  1. Before setting up the Sensor, the corresponding dimming or switching device(s) must be installed.
  2. Twist and remove mounting bracket to insert battery into battery cavity.

Set-Up

In order for the Sensor to operate properly, it must first be set up with a corresponding dimming or switching device. The procedure for setting up a Sensor with a Maestro WirelessR (MRF2 only) Dimmer or Electronic Switch is detailed below. If setting up a Sensor with a different device, visit www.lutron.com/occsensors or consult the installation guide for that device.

Setting up a Sensor with a Maestro Wireless® Dimmer or Electronic Switch

  1. Place the Dimmer or Switch in set-up mode by pressing and holding the tap button for 6 seconds until all LEDs on the device begin flashing. Release the tap button.
    Set-Up - Step 1
  2. Add the Sensor to the Dimmer or Switch by pressing and holding the "Light" button on the front of the Sensor for 6 seconds until the lens flashes briefly. The lights in the room will also flash 3 times, indicating the Sensor has been successfully added. The Dimmer or Switch will exit set-up mode automatically.
    Set-Up - Step 2
  3. The "Light" button should now switch the lights in the room on and off when pressed. Repeat the above procedure to set up the Sensor with additional devices.

Sensor Detection Range

Sensor Detection Range

Sensor Placement and Coverage

Before mounting the Sensor, please note the following:

  • The Sensor is designed for ceiling use only. DO NOT install on ceilings higher than 12 ft (3.7 m). (See section Sensor Detection Range)
  • The Sensor should be installed in a location where it has a good view of all parts of the room. The Sensor requires line of sight to operate properly. If you cannot see the Sensor, it cannot see you.
    The Sensor cannot see through glass objects such as patio or shower doors. (See section Sensor Detection Range)
  • DO NOT mount the Sensor within 6 ft (1.8 m) of HVAC vents or microwave ovens, within 6 in (15 cm) of other RF devices, or within 4 ft (1.2 m) of light bulbs installed below the ceiling line. (See section Sensor Detection Range)
  • The Sensor may be installed up to 60 ft (18.3 m) away from the associated dimming or switching device(s) if they are in direct line of sight. If there are walls or other barriers between the Sensor and receiving device(s), the Sensor should be located within 30 ft (9.1 m). (See section Sensor Detection Range)
  • Whenever possible, avoid placing the Sensor in a location where it has a broad view outside the intended space. If this is unavoidable, the lens can be masked to block the view of undesired areas (see www.lutron.com/occsensors).

Mounting Methods

  1. Drop-Ceiling Mounting
    Put the Sensor in place on the tile and either take the tile down or remove an adjacent tile to gain access to the legs of the mounting wire on the back of the tile. Twist the wire legs together tightly.
    Drop-Ceiling Mounting
    NOTE: For details on temporary mounting on solid ceiling surfaces, visit www.lutron.com/occsensors
  2. Solid-Ceiling Mounting
  • Drill two 3/16 in (4.6 mm) pilot holes for the provided screw anchors.
    Solid-Ceiling Mounting
  • Press the anchors into the holes and tap flush with a hammer.
  • Place the flat side of the mounting bracket against the ceiling and install the two provided screws using a hand screwdriver.
  • Attach the Sensor to the mounting bracket by inserting and twisting in a clockwise direction until the Sensor locks into place.

Testing Sensor Coverage

  1. With the Sensor mounted on the ceiling, press and release the "Test" button. The lens will glow briefly, indicating the test mode has been entered.

    NOTE: There is a warm-up period of 90 seconds after the battery is installed before the test mode is activated. If the button is pressed during this time, the lens will flash continuously until the warm-up period is complete, and then the test mode will be automatically entered.
  2. Confirm the coverage area by walking through the space and observing the lens. The lens will glow solid every time motion is detected. If the lens remains off during motion, the Sensor cannot detect motion at that location.
  3. Press and release the "Test" button again to exit the test mode. If the button is not pressed, the test mode will automatically time out 15 minutes after being enabled, or 5 minutes after the last detected motion if the room is vacated.
  4. If the Sensor has significant trouble detecting motion during the test, it should be moved to another location and re-tested.
    NOTE: If the Sensor is detecting motion in areas that are not desirable, such as hallways or adjacent rooms, refer to www.lutron.com/occsensors
  5. If Sensor detection is satisfactory during this test, perform the wireless communication test as described in section Testing Wireless Communication.

Testing Wireless Communication

This test should be performed to verify the Sensor has been correctly set up with the corresponding dimming or switching device and that there is proper wireless communication from the chosen Sensor location.

Press and release the "Light" button multiple times to toggle the lights on and off.

Advanced Set-Up (Optional)

The Sensor features several advanced set-up modes. For the majority of installations, the default settings will provide the best performance and you will not need to utilize the advanced set-up.

The Occupancy version of the Sensor has three adjustable advanced set-up modes: Timeout, Auto-On, and Activity. The Vacancy-Only version has only two modes (Auto-On not available). The default settings are listed below.
Advanced Set-Up (Optional)

Default Settings:

  • Timeout: 15 minutes
  • Auto-On: Enabled (Occupancy version only)
  • Activity: Low Activity

Advanced Set-Up Modes Timeout

  • Timeout
    The Sensor will turn the lights off if no motion occurs for the duration of the timeout period. There are four available timeout settings: 1*, 5, 15, and 30 minutes.
  • Auto-On (Occupancy version only)
    The automatic-on functionality of the Sensor can be adjusted to control how the lights respond upon initial occupancy. There are three available settings: Always, Low light, and Disable.
    • Enabled: The lights will always turn on.
    • Low light: The lights will only turn on automatically upon entry if there is not already sufficient ambient light in the room.
    • Disabled: This setting converts the Sensor to vacancy mode. The lights will not automatically turn on but will still automatically turn off after vacancy. The lights must be manually turned on by using the associated dimming or switching device.
  • Activity

    The sensitivity of the Sensor can be adjusted based on the expected level of activity within the room. There are three available activity settings: Low Activity, Medium Activity, and High Activity.
    • Low Activity:

      This is the most sensitive setting and will detect very slight motions. This is the recommended setting, as it will work well for nearly all applications. It is ideal for spaces where occupants will often be seated for long periods of time.
    • Medium Activity**:

      This setting is slightly less sensitive than the Low Activity setting and can be used for spaces that experience normal activity.
    • High Activity**: This is the least sensitive setting and can be used for spaces that will generally only experience large motions, such as foot traffic.

* To select a 1-minute timeout, press and hold the timeout button for approximately 10 seconds until all 3 LEDs begin flashing rapidly. To save the 1-minute timeout setting, press and hold the timeout button until all 3 LEDs turn on solid, indicating the 1-minute timeout has been saved.

** The Low Activity setting is the default and will perform best for most applications. Rarely, if the Sensor is placed near external noise sources such as heating vents, air conditioning vents, or light bulbs, it may turn the lights on without occupancy or keep the lights on too long after vacancy. If this occurs, changing the sensitivity to Medium Activity or High Activity should resolve the problem.
