Motion Sensor
Wall Switch
OFF AUTO ON
SL-6105
Included are:
•The sensor switch
•Cover plate
•3 wire connectors
•2 large screws
•2 small screws.
The SL-6105 Motion Sensor Wall Switch detects motion to turn on lights for an adjustable amount of time. A built-in photo cell can be set to keep lights off when the lights aren’t needed. The unit has excellent sensitivity and a wide 150° detection range. It can be used with incandescent lighting as well as rapid start fluorescent lighting. Installation is as easy as replacing a wall switch. However, some codes require installation by a qualified electrician.
Features include:
•150° motion detection angle
•Adjustable on-time from 5 sec. to 20 min.
•Adjustable photocell
•Works with incandescent and rapid start fluorescent lighting
•Works with motors up to 1/8 hp
•Slide switch selectable OFF, ON, and AUTO modes
INSTALLATION
SELECT A LOCATION
The sensor is more sensitive to motion across the front of the sensor than to motion towards the sensor.
The detector senses heat in motion and possibly heat sources that change temperature quickly. Therefore, to avoid false triggering, avoid placing the sensor where it will be aimed at air conditioners, heaters, and other sources of heat or cold.

Typical Installation
1.Remove existing wall switch from junction box.
2.Connect electrical leads of sensor as shown in Figure 3. Before installing sensor into junction box, make sure there is no wire exposed at each connection.
3.Mount sensor into junction box using two large mounting screws provided.
4.For test purposes, use a small screwdriver to turn the TIME control fully counterclockwise and the LIGHT control fully clockwise. Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.
5.Set mode selection switch to the AUTO position. When unit stabilizes (about 1 minute), the sensor is ready to detect motion. If sensor detects motion, the lights will turn on. The lights will turn off 5 seconds after motion is no longer detected.

ADJUSTMENTS
Time
The length of time that the lights stay on is adjustable from 5 seconds to 20 minutes. Use a small Phillips screw driver to adjust the TIME control (see Figure 4). Turn control clockwise to increase the time and counterclockwise to decrease the time.
Light Level
You can adjust the sensor’s sensitivity to existing light. Use a small Phillips screw driver to adjust the LIGHT control (see Figure 4). By turning the control fully clockwise, the sensor will turn lights on even in full daylight. By turning the control fully counterclockwise, the sensor will only turn lights on when the existing light is very low.
Adjusting the Photocell
1.When the existing light in the room is at the level you want the lights to turn on, set the mode selection switch to the AUTO position.
2.Adjust the TIME control to the 5 second position (fully counterclockwise).
3.Adjust the LIGHT control to the minimum dark position (fully counterclockwise).
4.Wait for the lights to turn off.
5.Slightly turn the LIGHT control clockwise. Wait 2 seconds, then move your hand in front of the sensor. If lights controlled by the sensor do not come on, repeat this step until they do. The light will now come on when the light level is at or below the present level and motion is detected.

COMPLETING INSTALLATION
1.Replace control panel cover and attach the decorative wall plate. In installations where the Heath®/Zenith motion sensor switch is combined with other switches or outlets on an expanded box, you will need to purchase a combination wall plate. Various combination wall plates are available at home centers and electrical supply stores.
2.Slide the mode selection switch a couple times to make sure it moves freely.
