INSTEON 2420M - Manual

BEST LOCATIONS
Select a detector location that will provide the required coverage. Keep the
following potential problems in mind:
1.
Reflective surfaces - Do not aim the detector at reflective surfaces
such as mirrors or windows. This may distort the coverage pattern or
reflect sunlight directly onto the detector.
2. Air flow - Avoid locations that are subject to direct high air flow, such
as near an air duct outlet.
3. Moisture - Do not place the detector near sources of steam or oil.
4. Sunlight - Do not aim the detector where it will receive direct or
reflected (mirror) sunlight.
5. Obstruction - Do not place the detector near large objects (such as
plants or filing cabinets) that will limit or block sensor coverage.
6. Pet rejection - Do not aim the detector at a stairway to which a pet
has access. Do not place furniture or objects higher than what a pet
can climb onto (about 3 ft/0.9 m) or closer than 6 ft/1.8 m away from
the detector.
7. Fireplace - Do not place the detector near a fireplace as the light and
heat may interfere with Motion Sensor’s detection ability.
8. Snow/ice – Snow or ice on the Fresnel lens may interfere with
Motion Sensor’s detection ability.
9. Dirt – Dirt on the Fresnel lens may interfere with Motion Sensor’s
detection ability.
6. LOCATION TIPS
INSERT BATTERY
Use a small Phillips head screwdriver to remove screw and cover from
battery compartment on back of unit. Attach the included 9-volt battery. Do
not replace compartment cover until instructed to do so later in this guide.
Wait 5 minutes for the circuit to stabilize. To confirm unit is functioning, tap
the Set button a couple of times while watching the front of the unit. Each
time you tap the Set button, a red LED behind the sensor lens will flash.
Don’t worry if the LED flashes when you are not tapping the Set button; it is
simply indicating that motion is being detected.

ACCESS POINTS
Motion Sensor requires at least one INSTEON Access Point (#2443) or
other dual-band product installed in your home. To confirm the Motion
Sensor is within RF range of your Access Point, have a friend watch the
LED on the side of your Access Point while you tap the Set button on the
Sensor (while holding it where you plan to install it). Access Point’s LED will
flash a couple times every time you tap the Set button if it is within range.

7. MOUNT SENSOR 1. INTRODUCTION
The INSTEON Motion Sensor is an indoor/outdoor motion sensor that will
turn INSTEON controlled lights on and off in response to movement around
your home. The sensor also contains a photocell, allowing you to configure
the unit to operate your lights only at night. Pair the Motion Sensor with
INSTEON software for almost limitless device automation possibilities.
In this package you will find the Motion Sensor, a 9V battery, a swivel
mount and two screws.

3. SETUP
4. SETUP INSTEON DEVICE CONTROL
LINKING TO INSTEON RESPONDERS
1. Press and hold the Set button on Motion Sensor for 5 seconds (until red
LED behind sensor lens begins blinking steadily.) You now have 4
minutes to complete step 2)
2. Press and hold the Set button 1 for 5 seconds on the INSTEON
responder you would like the Motion Sensor to control (its LED may
blink).
3. The Motion Sensor LED will stop blinking (if not, try step 2 again).
MOUNTING (See Location Tips for help)
1. Use the two small screws (included) to secure the swivel mounting
bracket at your desired location.
4. Test by tapping the Set button on Motion Sensor. Each tap should
toggle the device you linked on and off. (The Motion Sensor LED will
flash each time the Set button is tapped.)
5. Repeat this procedure for up to 32 responders.
1 For multi-button responders (e.g., KeypadLinc™), tap the button you wish
to control before pressing and holding its Set button.
8. ADJUST DETECTION AREA
AIMING AND SENSITIVITY
1. Tap the Set button on Motion Sensor until the linked responder(s) turn
OFF.
2. Within 10 seconds, walk far out of detection area.
3. Wait 20 seconds.
4. Walk into and near your detection area. Your linked responders will
turn ON (LED will flash upon initial motion, then once every 8 seconds
during motion).
a. If LED does not flash while you are moving within the
desired detection area, readjust Sensor (usually means
pointing the Sensor upward)
b. If LED flashes while you’re moving outside detection area
i. Readjust Sensor to decrease range (usually means
aiming the Sensor downward)
ii. If aiming sensor does not generate desired results
place jumper 1 on both pins (see SETUP MODES
section).
2. Slide Motion Sensor onto the swivel mounting bracket (sliding to the
right) until you hear a click.
3. Aim Motion Sensor towards the area in which you wish to detect m
(detection area).
otion
4. Test by walking through the area. Linked responders should turn ON
when motion is sensed and OFF one minute after last motion sensed.
5. DETECTING AREA 2. OPERATION
WHEN MOTION IS SENSED
1.
When motion is sensed the Motion Sensor will send an ON command
to up to 30 linked INSTEON responders and flash its LED (unless it is
daytime and unit is in night-only mode).
2. Sensor will begin its automatic countdown.
3. Whenever motion is sensed during countdown, the countdown will be
reset to easily allow you to create “occupied” versus “unoccupied”
modes for your home.
4. When countdown expires the Sensor will send an OFF command to
all linked responders (unless it is in ON-only mode).
APPLICATIONS
1.
Turn on driveway or front step lights when visitors approach.
2. Have your fountain always on when you are around (and off when
you are away).
3. Save money by having HVAC and lighting automatically go into
energy savings mode when no one is around.
