5. Configuració i instal·lació

Important: Before starting, ensure the power to the circuit is turned OFF at the circuit breaker or fuse box to prevent electrical shock.

  1. Apagueu l'alimentació: Locate the circuit breaker controlling the light switch you are replacing and turn it off. Verify power is off using a voltage provador.
  2. Treure l'interruptor antic: Carefully remove the existing wall plate and unscrew the old switch from the wall box. Disconnect the wires from the old switch.
  3. Identificar els cables: Identify the following wires in your wall box:
    • Live Wire (Black): Carries power from the circuit breaker.
    • Load Wire (Red/Black): Es connecta a la làmpada.
    • Neutral Wire (White): Required for the motion sensor switch. If not present, consult an electrician.
    • Ground Wire (Green/Bare Copper): For safety.
  4. Connecteu el nou interruptor: Connect the wires from the wall box to the DEWENWILS motion sensor switch using the provided wire connectors. Match the colors as follows:
    • Connecteu el Fil viu from the wall box to the Fil negre de l'interruptor.
    • Connecteu el Cable de càrrega from the wall box to the Fil vermell de l'interruptor.
    • Connecteu el Fil neutre from the wall box to the Fil blanc de l'interruptor.
    • Connecteu el Cable de terra from the wall box to the Fil verd de l'interruptor.

6. Instruccions de funcionament

The DEWENWILS Motion Sensor Light Switch offers two primary operating modes: Automatic (OCC) and Manual. It also features adjustable settings for optimal performance.

6.1 Modes de funcionament

  • Automatic (OCC) Mode: In this mode, the lights automatically turn ON when motion is detected and turn OFF after a preset time delay when no motion is detected. This is ideal for high-traffic areas like hallways, bathrooms, and storage rooms.
  • Mode manual: In this mode, the lights can only be controlled manually using the ON/OFF button on the switch. This provides flexibility for situations where automatic control is not desired, such as during cleaning or when continuous light is needed regardless of motion.

6.2 Configuracions ajustables

The switch features three adjustable knobs located behind the main button cover. Gently pry off the button cover to access these controls.

  • Time Delay Knob (TIME): Adjusts how long the lights remain ON after the last detected motion. Settings range from 5 seconds (fully counter-clockwise) to 10 minutes (fully clockwise).

  • Sensor Sensitivity Range Knob (SENSE): Adjusts the motion detection range. The default position is typically 65%. Turn clockwise for a larger coverage area (up to 100%) and counter-clockwise for a smaller area (down to 30%).

  • Ambient Light Level Knob (LUX): Determines the ambient light level at which the sensor will activate. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to enable ambient light detection (lights will only turn on if the room is dark enough). To override ambient light detection and have the sensor always activate regardless of light level, leave it at the maximum setting (+).

6.3 indicador LED

The switch includes an LED indicator. When the load is OFF, the LED is OFF. When the load is ON, the LED is ON. If the switch is manually turned OFF while in auto mode, the LED will blink for 30 seconds, then disable auto-on functionality.

  • Comproveu l'interruptor.
  • Verify wiring connections (Live, Load, Neutral, Ground).
  • Increase SENSE setting.
  • Adjust LUX setting (turn counter-clockwise) or set to maximum (+) to disable ambient light detection.
  • Switch to Automatic (OCC) Mode.
Lights stay ON too long or turn OFF too quickly.
  • Time Delay (TIME) setting is incorrect.
  • Continuous motion in the detection zone.
  • Adjust TIME setting to desired duration (5 seconds to 10 minutes).
  • Ensure no constant heat sources or movement are within the sensor's view.
Lights turn ON/OFF unexpectedly.
  • Sensitivity (SENSE) setting is too high.
  • Drafts or heat sources (e.g., HVAC vents) causing false triggers.
  • Decrease SENSE setting.
  • Ensure the sensor is not exposed to drafts or direct heat sources.
Detection range is too small or inconsistent.
