Troubleshooting
Before calling Technical Support, please review the following Troubleshooting Guide.
DIP Switch Modes
DIP 1 - PIR Detection LED
LED in Sensor’s PIR window flashes GREEN when PIR detects motion. LEDs can be turned OFF with DIP switch.
Sensor continues to function.
DIP 2 - Walk-Through Mode
When Enabled and Occupancy switches lights to ON and sensor does not detect motion after 30 seconds of
light ON, an OFF Time Delay of 3 minutes is used (OFF Time Delay must be greater than 3 minutes). If motion
is detected after 30 seconds of lights ON, the configured OFF Time Delay is followed.
DIP 3 - Manual Override
Manual Override Button can be disabled with DIP switch to prevent manual ON/OFF.
DIP 4 - Sensor Mode
Vacancy Mode - Lights must be turned ON manually when entering a room and are automatically turned OFF
when occupancy no longer detected. Maximizes energy savings because lights are only turned on when
lighting is required.
Occupancy Mode - Automatically turns lights ON when occupancy is detected in a room and automatically
turns lights OFF when occupancy is no longer detected. This is a very convenient mode as lighting controls never
have to be touched. Because
lights are always turned on when Occupancy is detected regardless of the need
for lighting, this is less energy efficient than Vacancy Mode.
DIP 5 - PIR Sensitivity
Can be moved from Medium sensitivity (default) to High sensitivity if sensor is not recognizing Occupancy.
DIP 6 - Natural Daylight Mode (models with photo sensors)
When ENABLED, lights ON when Occupancy detected AND daylight level is below Light Level Dial setting.
With lights ON, an increase in daylight above the Light Level Dial setting will not force lights OFF.
DIP 7 - Light Level Mode (”DP” models)
This mode allows the light function to be set and controlled to support Natural Daylight Mode and Closed Loop
dimming. WIth DIP UP the light level dial is used for setting the light level for Natural Daylight Mode. With DIP
DOWN, the light level dial is used for setting Closed Loop Dimming.
DIP 8 - Restroom Mode (2-pole models)
Pole 1 and Pole 2 are set to synchronize to the same Photo and Time Delay settings. With Restroom Mode =
Offset, Pole 2 will activate at the same moment as Pole 1 when Occupancy detected; however, Pole 2 will be
offset so that OFF delayed 50% longer than Pole 1. (e.g. Light is Pole 1 and Fan is Pole 2. Fan would stay ON
50% longer than light.
Auto Time Mode
Activated when Time Delay Dial is set to Auto Time. Red LED indicator will be ON. In this mode, time delay will
start automatically set by the sensor learning occupancy patterns.
Test Mode
Activated when Time Delay Dial is set to TEST. Test Mode LED will flash red for 5 minutes, providing a short Time
Delay when testing the installation
to determine if the sensor is working as intended or requires adjustments.
After 5 minutes, LED will stop flashing and Time Delay reverts to Factory Time Delay setting (10 minutes).
Issue Possible Cause Recomm
This only applies to models with photo sensors. Check
DIP 6. If DOWN, sensor is in Natural Daylight Mode,
therefore lights will only turn ON if there is insufficient
natural daylight. Rotate the Light Level Dial clockwise
pressing the Manual Override Button until the Lights
turn ON. Natural Daylight mode can be disabled by
moving DIP 6 UP.
Check DIP 4. Move DOWN for Auto ON.
Sensor is set to Manual ON Mode.

Manual Override Button was used to turn
lights OFF.
Wait for OFF Time Delay to count down, then with
motion detected lights will turn ON. Manual Override
Button can be disabled by moving DIP 3 UP.
Power has been interrupted or wiring connection is intermittent.
Power has been interrupted or wiring connection is intermittent.
Sensor is being activated by a heat source
other than occupant.
Sensor may be detecting heat from HVAC registers or
other heat sources. Check Installation location for heat
source.
Reduce PIR sensitivity by moving DIP 5
DOWN. Move sensor location – see guidelines.
Manual Override Button has been disabled.
Check the wiring diagram. Ensure ground is
connected. With DIP 1 DOWN, check for motion
detection by waving hand in front of sensor lens.
Activation LED will blinnk green.

Activation LED will blinnk green.
If the Sensor is in AUTO Mode, it may take longer than
expected to turn the lights off. Set the Time Delay to 5
minutes and leave space to determine if the Sensor is
functioining. The maximum Time Delay is 30 minutes.
Move DIP 3 DOWN to enable Manual Override
Button.
General Programming Instructions
This covers mode programming using the onboard DIP and Dial switches.
***NOTE***
• Start with the PIR Sensitivity at Medium (DIP 5 DOWN)
• To set the light level at which you want to prevent the sensor from turning light ON, rotate Light Level
Dial to adjust the light level
• To enable Restroom Mode , ensure that DIP 8 is
UP. In this mode Pole 2 will remain on 50%
longer than Pole 1 (time is set with the Time Dial) and Pole 2 cannot be Photo Inhibited
Factory Defaults
All DIP switches in DOWN position. Time delay: 10 minutes; Natural Daylight level: 50%
(200 lux for models equipped with photo sensors.).
CENTO Occupancy Sensors with photo sensors are controlled by DIP 6.
The factory default for Natural Daylight Mode = ENABLED (DIP 6 DOWN).
This mode disables the Manual Override Button. To test sensor functionality,
you may need to disable Natural Daylight Mode (DIP 6 UP).
