The Magnum ceiling-mounted Occupancy Sensor saves energy and adds convenience
by accurately detecting when an area is occupied or vacant.
It is a wireless, solar-powered sensor that detects occupancy using passive infrared
(PIR) heat and motion sensing. The sensor transmits RF messages to Magnum lighting,
HVAC, and outlets to use energy more eciently.
Features Include:
• Sends wireless messages to other devices whenever motion is detected
• Harvests ambient solar energy to power the sensor and wireless communication
• Mounts easily on any ceiling material
• Works with other sensors for enhanced occupancy tracking
• Built-in tests to confirm operation at installed location
• Supplemental battery option for extreme low-light fail-over

PLANNING:
Take a moment to plan for the sensor’s successful operation and optimal communication with other system components. Remove the sensor from its packaging and place it in a strong light to
provide the required startup charge. (Tip: To quickly ensure the sensor energy storage is fully charged, insert a CR2032 battery for 30 seconds.)
• Ensure the location provides consistent and adequate light
• Locate the sensor in the center of the room with an unobstructed view of the space
• Avoid installed near ceiling fan or hanging fixtures
• Consider the area’s trac patterns and principal use, for example, walking, lounging or sleeping
• Confirm a location is suitable by temporarily mounting the sensor and testing
it, see Walk Test and Light Test sections
• Consider the construction materials in the space and obstacles that may
With the 2-button interface facing you, slide the sensor to the left on the mounting plate
until it snaps into place.
Note: It may be easier to link the sensor before it is mounted
on the ceiling. See the Linking section.
5. Confirm the sensor is properly positioned to detect motion and has sucient light to
operate, see the Walk Test and Light Test sections.
Linking
Magnum wireless systems are highly flexible; two or more compatible devices can be
linked and configured to provide the desired control.
There are two basic types of devices in the Magnum system; transmitters and transceivers.
• Transmitters are simple energy-harvesting devices that send RF messages to communi-
cate a condition, level, or state. Transmitters can only be linked to transceivers.
• Transceivers are wire-powered controlling devices that send as well as receive RF
messages. They also process relevant control logic, and actuate the appropriate outputs
(switching a light on or o for example). Transceivers can be linked to transmitters as well
as other transceivers. A Magnum transceiver can have up to 30 devices linked to it.
The Occupancy Sensor is a Transmitter
To link devices, the transceiver must first be powered, within the transmission range, and
set to accepts links using the 2-button interface on the transceiver.
Next, the desired transmitter, or another transceiver, is triggered to send a special link
message. The awaiting transceiver receives and stores the link permanently so the
devices can interact to provide a variety of intelligent control options.
To link the sensor to a transceiver:
Note: If the sensor is the only device linked to the transceiver,
Auto-On and O will be enabled.
1. Set the desired transceiver to Accept a Link.
2. Click the Menu button on the side of the sensor once.
Testing the Sensor
Before starting a test, ensure the sensor’s energy storage is fully charged by placing it in a
strong light (200 lux) for 20 minutes or insert the battery for 30 seconds.
If a battery is used to charge the sensor for a light test, ensure it is removed to get an
accurate light measurement.
A test mode will stay active for 3 minutes. To exit a test and resume normal operation,
press and hold the Menu button for 5 seconds.
Walk Test
Use the walk test to confirm the sensor‘s sensitivity to motion within its range.
1. Press and hold the Set button for 5 seconds. The red LED will blink to confirm that a
walk test is active.
2. Move in and out of the sensor‘s range to determine its coverage area. The sensor will
blink when it detects motion.
3. Make small hand movements just inside the limit of the sensor‘s range to see if the
motion triggers a response.
Light Test
Use the light test to measure real-time light levels and confirm whether the occupancy
sensor has sucient light.
1. Create a realistic lighting condition (the test measures the real-time light level).
2. Press and hold the Set button for 10 seconds. The red and green LEDs will blink to
confirm that a light test is active.
3. Watch the LED blink rate to determine the light strength. The highest is 5 blinks which
indicates very good light (200 lux or more). 1 blink indicates minimum light (15 lux).
Note: If there is no blink rate, consider relocating the sensor or
installing a battery to provide supplemental power.
Note: The button interface on the sensor is used for linking and testing only.
The occupancy timer settings are configured on the transceiver to which
the sensor is linked.
The Set LED on the transceiver displays solid green for 3 seconds, if the link
was successfully established.
