1. Remove the existing switch in the 3-way location where the first sensor will be installed.

a. The sensor black wire will connect to the two black wires in the wallbox.

b. The sensor red wire will connect to the red wire in the wallbox.

c. The sensor blue wire is not used and should be capped off with a wire nut.

d. The sensor green wire will connect to the ground wire in the wallbox.

e. Install the sensor loosely using the mounting screws provided.

2. Remove the existing switch in the other 3-way location where the second sensor will be installed.

a. The sensor black wire will connect to the black wire coming from the first wallbox.

b. The sensor red wire will connect to the red wire coming from the first wallbox and to the black wire

going to the light fixture.

c. The sensor blue wire is not used and should be capped off with a wire nut.

d. The sensor green wire will connect to the ground wire in the wallbox.

e. Install the sensor loosely using the mounting screws provided.

3. Apply power and wait one minute. Verify that the sensors work by pressing the ON/OFF buttons on each

sensor. If the light does not turn ON and OFF from either or both sensors, you must swap the red and black

sensor wire on that sensor.

4. Re-install the sensor loosely, apply power again, an verify the sensor works by pushing the ON/OFF button

to verify the lights turn ON and OFF. You must wait 2 seconds between button presses.

5. NOTE - The light will turn OFF when both sensors time out or when the user manually turns OFF both

sensors.

6. Turn power OFF and go to COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION.

COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION:

1. Secure sensor into the wall box using two mounting screws provided. Turn the circuit breaker ON.

2. Allow the sensor to stabilize for one minute. The sensor is now ready to detect motion.

3. Verify that Power is ON by pushing the ON/OFF button. Lights should turn ON.

4. NOTE - The sensor time delay is factory preset (OS306U = 5 minutes; VS306U = 30 minutes).

5. If you want to change the time delay proceed as follows:

a. Remove the button from the sensor by pressing in the hook on the button, and then lift up on the button

as shown in Fig. 4.

b. Set the time delay using the dial on the right side by using a small Phillips screwdriver. Align the arrow

on the dial to desired time delay.

c. To allow the installer to quickly confirm that the sensor is functioning properly the time delay can

be set to TEST. This will set a time delay of 5 seconds, which allows quick feedback that the sensor is

working properly.

6. Replace push button by sliding it upward into the slots in the front housing and push down until the button

hook snaps into place.

7. Push the ON/OFF button to verify that the lights turn ON/OFF, and that the buttonoperates freely.

8. Install the wallplate.

1. Remove the existing switch in the location where the sensor will be installed.

a. The sensor black wire will connect to either one of the black wires in the wallbox.

b. The sensor red wire will connect to the other black wire in the wall box.

c. The sensor blue wire will connect to the red traveler wire in the wallbox

d. The sensor green wire will connect to the ground wire in the wallbox.

e. Install the sensor loosely using the mounting screws provided.

2. Remove the existing switch in the other 3-way location.

a. Connect the two black wires together.

b. Connect the bare ground wire in the wallbox to the common terminal

(usually a black screw or a marking such as COM or COMMON near the terminal) on

the 3-way switch.

c. Connect the red wire to either of the other switch terminals.

d. Re-install the 3-way switch and tighten securely.

3. Apply power and wait one minute. Verify that the sensor works by pushing the

ON/OFF button. You must wait 2 seconds between button presses. The lights

should turn ON and OFF. If the lights do not work, then turn the power OFF and

swap the connections to the sensor black and red wires.

4. Apply power again and verify the sensor works by pushing the ON/OFF button to verify

the lights turn ON and OFF.

5. Turn power OFF and go to COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION.

For 3-way applications, wire the sensor switch according to wiring diagram #2A or

2B using the wire nuts provided. The sensor may be placed at either end of the 3-way

circuit.

For 2 sensor applications, wire the sensor switches according to wiring diagram #3

using the wire nuts provided.

1. Remove the ON/OFF pushbutton to access

the light level adjustment (See Figure 4)

2. Turn the LIGHT LEVEL dial to the full

clockwise position.

3. Turn the TIME DELAY dial to the TEST position and hold the screwdriver on the dial.

Do not move for 5 seconds until the light turns OFF. Immediately turn the dial back to

the full counterclockwise position. The light should stay OFF.

4. Stand to the side of the sensor to allow the device to sense the normal light level in

the room.

5. Move your hand continually back and forth

about 2 feet in front of the sensor while slowly

turning the LIGHT LEVEL dial counterclockwise

until the light turns ON.

6. Adjust the Time delay to the desired setting.

7. The Light Level adjustment is now complete.

Replace the ON/OFF pushbutton.

DIAGRAM 5 / SCHÉMA 5 / DIAGRAMA 5:

Daylight Sensing Adjustment (OS306U only):

• The Daylight sensing feature prevents

lights from turning ON when the room is

adequately illuminated by natural light

• NOTE - The factory setting for this

adjustment is fully counterclockwise,

which permits motion detection to turn the

lights ON regardless of the ambient light

level in the room

• This adjustment requires a small Phillips

screwdriver and must be made when the

light level in the room is at the desired

level for the lights to turn ON
