3-Way Motion
Sensing Switch
The 3-Way Motion Sensing Switch (MSS) 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 1500detection range. It can be used with incandescent lighting as well as rapid start fluorescent lighting.
The MSS can be us ed to re place either a 3-way wall switc h or a
single pole switch. Some codes require installation by a qualified electrician.
Features include:
0
motion detection angle
• 150
• 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.
Included are: • The sensor switch • Cover plate • 4 wire connectors • 2 large screws • 2 small screws.
INSTALLATION
WARNING: For indoor use only.
SELECT A LOCATION
NEW APPLICATION
Choose a location where the motion sensor has a clear view of
the entire area where occupant motion may occur.
RETROFIT APPLICATION
Motion sensing switch will replace existing wall switch. Use only
where the existing switch location provides a clear view of the
occupied area.
GENERAL APPLICATION INFORMATION
The detector is more sensitive to motion across the front of the sensor than to motion towards the sensor.
The detector senses heat in motion and possible 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.

INSTALLING THE SWITCH
3-Way With One Motion Sensing Switch
WARNING: Turn power off at the circuit breaker before wiring.
Note: a "3-way" circuit controls lights from two separate switches. If you want to use this product in a single switch circuit or if you want to install more than one
motion sensing wall switch, see page 6
• Remove the decorative coverplate (secured by two
screws).
• Remove Control Cover. (Press in with screwdriver.
Swing out cover to remove.)
• Choose which switch will be replaced and remove it.
• For easier re-wiring later, mark the house wiring with
tape indicating where the wire had been connected.

ADJUSTMENTS
TIME
There are 6 preset selections for the
amount of time the lights stay on: Test (5
seconds), 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes. Use
a small, phillips screw driver to adjust the
TIME control (see Figure 4). Turn the TIME
control until it “snaps” into the desired time
position.

Complete Installation
Replace control panel cover and install the decorative wall plate. In installations where the GE motion sensor
•
switch is combined with other switches or outlets on an expanded box, a combination wall plate will need to
be purchased. Various combination wall plates are available at Home Centers and Electrical Supply Stores.
Slide the switch a couple of times to make sure it operates freely.

USE
MODE Selection Switch
Moving the switch selects one of three modes of operation: OFF, AUTO, ON
OFF: Lights stay off.
AUTO: Lights come on for time set when motion is detected and the light level is below the set level or when
3-way switch is manually switched.
ON: Lights stay on continuously. Flipping 3-way switch has no effect.
