The 6103 Motion Sensor Wall Switch detects motion to turn on lights
for a fixed time of 5 minutes. The unit has excellent sensitivity and
a 110° 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.

Included are:

• The sensor switch

• Cover plate

• 3 wire connectors

• 2 large screws

• 2 small screws

• 110° motion detection angle

• Fixed ON TIME – 5 minutes

• 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 tempe rature
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.

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.
