TIP: I f you enter the new baud rate incorrec t ly, press Stop and star t over at step 1 .

10. Enter number 1-4 for des i red baud rate.

11 . Press Enter. The sensor wi l l b l ink yel low and resume normal operat ion at se lec ted baud rate.

Using the Fac tor y ResetUse the fac tor y reset to restore sensor parameters to fac tor y defaults and to reset the address to 0 . The fol lowing steps are only appl icable us ing a Universal IR Remote.



3 . Enter the current address and press ‘ENTER ’. A blue l ight wi l l b l ink .

a . I f the current address is 94 , press the 9 and 4 .

4 . Enter the numbers 1094 to change this parameter and press ‘ENTER ’. A pink l ight wi l l b l ink .

5 . Press ‘PAUSE’. A pink l ight wi l l b l ink . Power c ycle the unit . Af ter star t ing a white l ight wi l l turn on sol id. Use the ‘Sett ing the Sensor Address for the Fi rst Time’ sec t ion to set a new address.



Changing the HysteresisThe hysteres is i s a percentage of the threshold. The hysteres is i s used to create a range of acceptable l ight levels above and below the threshold. This i s so that l ights do not turn on and off with ever y smal l var iat ion in l ight level above and below the threshold.

Example: A large hysteres is (greater than 10%) would make the sensor less sensit ive. A smal l hysteres is ( less than 10%) would make the sensor more sensit ive. A threshold of 100 with a hysteres is of 10% would give you an On value of 90 lux and an O ff value of 110 lux . I f the hysteres is was set too low at say 1% the On/O ff values would be 99 & 101 lux which may cause the l ight to turn On/O ff several t imes before staying On/O ff due to c louds, people pass ing by, exc. . .

The hysteres is might need to be changed depending on local fac tors such as : normal outdoor l ight levels , how sunny or c loudy the sk y tends to be, the t ype of windows in the bui lding, whether the sensor is indoors or outdoors, etc.

I f l ights are too sensit ive to changes in the l ight level , ra is ing the hysteres is might help. I f l ights are not responsive enough to changes in the l ight level , lower ing the hysteres is might help.

Selec t ing the opt imal hysteres is wi l l l ike ly require on-s i te t r ia l and error.

The fol lowing steps are only appl icable us ing a Universal IR Remote.

Changing the Light DelayThe l ight delay is the number of seconds the ac t ion is delayed before being tr iggered.

Example: When the l ight level drops below the hysteres is range, the system waits a set amount of seconds before the l ights come on or of f. Used so l ights aren’t unintent ional ly t r iggered by ref lec t ions, c loud cover, exc. . .

The l ight delay feature helps to ensure that l ights do not f l icker on and off with ever y pass ing c loud or other br ief and temporar y changes in l ight level .

Changing the M otion S ensit ivit yThe motion sensit iv i t y i s the sensit iv i t y of the motion detec tor. The higher the number, the more motion that wi l l be needed for the sensor to detec t motion. The lower the number, then less motion wi l l be needed for the sensor to detec t motion.

The fac tor y default works under most condit ions. The motion sensit iv i t y might need to be lowered i f there is a motion sensor in an of f ice that would be repeatedly t r ipped by people walk ing past the of f ice door. The motion sensit iv i t y might need to be ra ised i f there is a motion sensor that does not seem to detec t motion when there are occupants in the room.

Selec t ing the opt imal motion sensit iv i t y wi l l l ike ly require on-s i te t r ia l and error.

Changing the Vac anc y Delay / Test M o deThe vacanc y delay is the number of minutes that the l ights stay on af ter motion stops.

Vacanc y delay helps prevent l ights f rom turning of f whi le people are in the room.

The fac tor y recommends that the vacanc y delay is not set for less than 15 minutes, unless i t i s a c loset , supply room, or a room where people are a lways moving i f they are in there.

Test Mode can be used to test the sensit iv i t y of the sensor. Us ing Test Mode sets the vacanc y delay to 2 seconds.

Note : When you set the vacanc y delay to ‘0 ’ i t s t i l l shows up as a value of ‘1 ’ when you press the play button to review the value s ince there is no color value for ‘0 ’. Be sure to set a proper value for the vacanc y delay af ter us ing the Test M ode.
