DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The RW600B Vacancy Sensor is designed to replace a standard light or fan switch. The
sensor uses passive infrared technology to sense human motion in a space and turn the
light OFF when the room is vacant. It is ideal for applications in a home where there is
a direct line of sight from the sensor to the room including bedrooms and family/living
rooms.
Like a standard switch, pressing the ON/OFF button will turn the light or fan (controlled
load) ON and OFF. Unlike a standard switch, the RW600B automatically turns OFF the
controlled load after the coverage area has been vacant for a period of time known as
the Time Delay. If motion is detected within 30 seconds after it automatically turns OFF,
the RW600B automatically turns the load back ON.
Indicator Light
The Status LED located on the ON/OFF button blinks
upon initial detection. It will blink again when it
detects a change of infrared energy in the space.
The LED can be disabled. See Status LED.
Coverage Area
The RW600B 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.
INSTALLATION & WIRING
Disconnect power to the wall switch box by turning OFF
the circuit breaker or removing the fuse for the circuit before installing
the RW600B, replacing lamps, or doing any electrical work.
1. Prepare 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.
