Heath Zenith 6108 User Manual 2

Title 24 Compliant

Motion Sensor 3-Way Wall Switch

6108

The 6108 motion sensor wall switch meets California Title 24 regulations for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, hallways, dining rooms, and bedrooms. The push button turns lights on or off manually and activates or deactivates the motion sensor. The motion sensor keeps lights on for a set period of time after motion is last detected. The motion sensor and lights are then turned off and must be turned on again by pushing the ON button before motion will be detected.

The unit has excellent sensitivity and a wide 180° detection range. It can be used with incandescent lighting as well as ﬂuorescent lighting. Two LEDs allow for easy status identiﬁcation.

Installation is as easy as replacing a wall switch.

Some codes require installation by a quali ﬁed electrician.

Items included in packaging:

• Sensor Switch • Cover Plate

• 4 Wire Connectors • 2 Large Screws

• 2 Small Screws • Owner’s Manual

• 1 Jumper Wire

• 180° motion detection angle

• Selectable on-time from 5 seconds to 25

• Works with incandescent and ﬂuorescent

• Works with motors up to 1/8 hp

• Motion sensor is turned on and off by push

Features include:

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.

SEE PAGES 3 THROUGH 5 FOR DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING

AND WIRING THE 6108 WALL SWITCH.

*COMMON-Used for illustrative purposes only. Check Your Switch. The common may be in a different location, depending on the brand of your switch.

RED is used to represent the second wire between two standard three-way switches. This may not be the color used in all installation. If you are not sure about your wiring, call an electrician for instal lation help. There is also a RED wire on the 6108 switch. Check the instructions above closely and do not confuse the two.

WARNING: Turn power off at the

circuit breaker before wiring.

INSTALLING SENSOR

A “3-way” circuit controls lights from two separate switches. Select a 3-way circuit that controls a light or an outlet to a lamp.

IMPORTANT: Total lighting must be from 25 to 500 watts incandescent, or 60 to 400 watts ﬂuorescent. Less wattage than

the minimum may not allow the control to work properly. The switch selected for replacement should be in a place that can detect motion in the desired area.

For easier re-wiring later, mark the house wiring with tape indicating where the wire had been connected.

In the following section you will install a jumper wire at one 3-way switch and replace the other switch with the 6108.

Note: The existing 3-way switch will be referred to as the “Remote Switch” throughout the rest of the installation manual.

Before the Installation

Add Jumper At Remote 3-Way Switch

A jumper wire between the common wire and one of the switched wires is used to supply power to the 6108 regardless of the position of the remote switch.

1. Remove remote switch from the junction box.

2. Connect the jumper wire to the common lug (usually labeled on the switch) and to either one of the two switched lugs. If you're not sure which lug is common, install the jumper on any two of the wires, and test the jumper according to the ﬂow chart on page 5.
