OPERATION
MSC ceiling-mounted occupancy sensors are ideal for use in business and oce
environments to accurately detect occupancy and automatically control lighting. The
ceiling-mount design allows the greatest possible motion sensitivity. An adjustment
panel is on the front of the sensor provides easy access to controls after the sensor is
installed.

INSTALLATION
Choose a location at least ve feet from air ow sources (HVAC vents, fans, etc.). Three
mounting options are available.
Mounting to a Junction Box
Junction Box
#8 x 32 screw
Mounting Adapter Plate
Keyhole Pin
Rotate Clockwise
1. Turn o the circuit breaker supplying power to the sensor’s power pack.
2. Attach the adapter plate to a standard 4-in. ceiling junction box using the two #8 x
32 screws supplied.
3. Wire the sensor (see Wiring section). Follow applicable national and local electrical
codes.
4. Attach the sensor to the adapter plate by inserting the pins on the adapter plate
into the keyholes on the back of the sensor. Rotate the sensor clockwise until it
locks in place.
Flush Mounting
Mounting with Supplied Mounting Post
Lock Nut
Mounting post
1. Turn o the circuit breaker supplying power to the sensor’s power pack.
2. Drill a 7/8” diameter hole at the mounting location. Note: For acoustical tile, use
the threaded mounting post to drill the mounting hole. Press the cutter end of the
post rmly against the tile and twist the post into the tile.
3. Feed sensor wire through the mounting post, then twist and lock the mounting
post to the back of the sensor.
4. Insert the mounting post into the hole drilled in step 2. Secure the sensor
assembly away from the top of the ceiling tile using the supplied washer and lock
nut.
5. Wire the sensor (see Wiring section). Follow applicable national and local electrical
codes.

1. Turn o the circuit breaker supplying power to the sensor’s power pack.
2. Drill a hole large enough to accomodate wiring at the mounting location.
3. Attach the adapter plate to the ceiling using a secure method, such as with screws
and wall anchors (not provided).
4. Wire the sensor (see Wiring section). Follow applicable national and local electrical
codes.
5. Attach the sensor to the adapter plate by inserting the pins on the adapter plate
into the keyholes on the back of the sensor. Rotate the sensor until it locks in
place.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
CONFIGURATION
1. Turn on the circuit breaker and any wall switches that supply power to the sensor.
2. When rst installed, allow the sensor to warm up for a few minutes before it is
fully operational. When the sensor detects motion, the LED on the housing ashes
for approximately 0.5 seconds, and the lights turn on or remain on.
3. Set the Time Delay to the test setting of 15 seconds.
4. Vacate the room until the lights turn o.
5. Re-enter the room. Lights should turn on immediately. If not, verify correct sensor
wiring.
6. Adjust settings as desired.
SENSOR ADJUSTMENT SETTINGS
The adjustment panel is located on the front of the sensor housing. Gently pry o the
cover with a small athead screwdriver.

Mode Switch: Determines when lights are turned on or remain on.
Sensor Mode Description
PIR and
Ultrasonic
Dual Technology
A Automatic mode. Normal, default setting. Lights turn on or
remain on only when the sensor detects motion.
M Manual override ON mode. Lights are always on.
1 Instant ON setting. Either PIR or ultrasonic detection turns
the lights on or causes the lights to remain on.
2 Normal, default setting. Only PIR detection turns the lights
on. Either PIR or ultrasonic detection causes the lights to
remain on.
3 Override ON setting. Lights are always on.
Photocell Dial
Photocell Dial
Sensitivity Dial: Determines the amount of movement required to trigger the
sensor and the distance from which movement is detected. Turn the dial to the
desired setting (MSCP1000: 60% to 100% of max.; MSCU2000, MSCD2000: 10% to
100% of max.). The default sensitivity setting is 100%.
Note: Consider the characteristics of the room when adjusting the sensitivity of
the Ultrasonic and Dual Technology sensors. Hard surfaces (concrete, tile, glass)
are reective and create a higher sensitivity for ultrasonic detection. Soft surfaces
(carpet, drapes, acoustical tile) absorb some of the ultrasonic energy and reduce the
unit’s sensitivity. Building additions, such as cubicles and walls, may also require a
higher sensitivity setting.
Photocell Dial: Sets the level above which ambient light will not trigger the sensor.
Set the ambient light level from 0.5 to 250 foot-candles. Turn the dial to the desired
setting (minimum setting is fully countercockwise; maximum is fully clockwise). The
default photocell setting is 250 foot-candles. This setting also disables the photocell
(i.e., ambient light will not inhibit sensor operation).
Time Delay Switches: A set of four DIP switches determines how long lights will
stay on after motion is no longer detected. Settings range from 15 seconds to 30
minutes. The default time delay setting is 18 minutes. Possible DIP switch settings
are shown in the table below.
