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.

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.

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.
