Single
Pole Motion
Sensing Switch
The Single Pole Motion Sensing Switch 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 150° 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.
Features include:
• 150° motion detection angle.
• 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 • 3 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 exist ing 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
WARNING: Turn power off at the circuit breaker before wiring.
• Remove the decorative coverplate (secured by two
screws).
• Remove Control Cover. (Press in with screwdriver.
Swing out cover to remove.)
• Remove the existing switch (if this is a retrofit
application).
• Connect the detector as shown in the diagram.
Before installing the detector into the box, make
sure there is no wire exposed at the connection.

TYPICAL INSTALLATION
• Mount the detector into the wall box with the mounting screws.
• For test purposes, use a small screwdriver to turn the time control fully counter-clockwise and the light
control fully clockwise. Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.
• Set the switch to the AUTO mode. When unit stabilizes (about 1 minute), the sensor is ready to detect motion.
If motion is detected, the lights will turn on. The lights will turn off 5 seconds after motion is no longer detected.

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.
Any Light Level
5 Seconds
The senso r can be prevente d from turnin g on lights
when there is already enough light in the room. Use a
small phillips screw driver to set the light level using this
diagram as a guide. In the full y clockw ise posi tion ,
the sensor turns on lights even in full daylight. In the
fully counter-clockw ise position , the sensor only turns
on lights when the surrounding light level is very low.

20 Minutes
When the light in the room is at the
•
level you want the lights to turn on,
set the switch to the AUTO position.
Put the TIME control to the 5 sec-
•
ond position.
Put the LIG HT control to the mini-
•
mum dark (fully counter-clockwise)
position . Wait for the lights to turn
off.
Turn the LIGHT adjustment clock-
•
wise in very small steps and wait 2
seconds before moving your hand in
front of the sensor. Repeat until the
lights controlled by the sensor come
on. The light will now come on when
the light level is at or below the present level and motion is detected.
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.
