Some local building codes may require installation by a qualified electrician.

INSTALLATION

❐ For your safety, turn off power at the fuse or circuit breaker.

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

Installations,

❐ Select a 3-way circuit that controls a light or an outlet to a lamp. Total lighting must be from 25 to 500 watts incandescent, or 60

to 400 watts fluorescent using a not be used to operate electronic or magnetic ballasts. 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 SL-6107.

INSTALLATION

1. 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 SL-6107 regardless of the position of the remote switch.

❐ Remove remote switch from the junction box.

Connect Jumper at the Remote Switch

❐ 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 as explained on the next page.

2. Replace Other Switch.

❐ Turn the power off at the circuit breaker. ❐ Remove and disconnect the old switch.

Note:

If you can't tell which wire is common, etc., connect the wires in the following steps as best you can, then follow the test on the next page.

❐ Connect the black motion sensor wire to the common wire. ❐ Connect the brown motion sensor wire to the jumpered wire on

the remote switch.

❐ Connect the red motion sensor wire to the non-jumpered wire. ❐ Connect the green motion sensor wire to the ground wire.

The sensor can be prevented from turning on lights when there is already enough light in the room. Use a small screwdriver to set the light level using this diagram as a guide. In the fully clockwise position, the sensor turns on lights even in full daylight. In the fully counter-clockwise position, the sensor only turns on lights when the surrounding light level is very low.

❐ With the switch in the AUTO position and the light at the desired

level for the lights to turn on, put the LIGHT control to the minimum dark (fully counter-clockwise) position. Wait for the lights to turn off.

❐ Move your hand in front of the sensor. While moving your hand

in front of the sensor, slowly turn the LIGHT adjustment clockwise until the lights controlled by the sensor come on.
