UNIT dEScRIPTION aNd OPERaTION

The WSP‑250 Wall Switch Occupancy Sensors turn lighting or fan loads on and

off based on occupancy and ambient light level. They are designed to replace a

standard light switch. The WSP‑250 operates with 120 or 277VAC line voltage.
The sensor uses passive infrared technology to sense human motion, and

defines it as occupancy. A green LED on the sensor blinks upon occupancy and

then resets. It will blink again when it detects motion after the 2‑second reset.
The sensor turns on the load automatically when it detects occupancy. Once the

space is vacant and the time delay elapses, it turns off the load automatically.
If adequate ambient light is already present in the area, the sensor will hold

off the load it controls. When the light drops below a field selectable level and

the sensor detects occupancy, the sensor turns on the load. Once turned on,

the load remains on until the space is vacant or the light level rises above the

setpoint and the time delay expires.
manual Operation: The occupant can press the ON/OFF button to turn the load

on and off. When the load is turned off or on manually, it stays off or on as long

as the sensor detects motion. After no motion is detected for the length of the

time delay, the sensor goes back to automatic operation. If the load was on, it

turns off. The next time the sensor detects occupancy and the ambient light is

lower than the set level, the sensor automatically turns on the load.

Walk‑test feature:

When the Time Delay trimpot

is in the fully counterclockwise

position, the sensor has a 30

second time delay and the Light

Level function is disabled. This

allows you to quickly check the

sensor coverage area.

Override function:

In the event of unit failure or

if it is necessary to leave the

load on, remove the Override

Jumper plug. This disables all

automatic on and off functions

and the load can only be

operated using the ON/OFF

button.

cOVERaGE PaTTERNS

The WSP‑250 detects motion in areas up to 900 sq. ft. and up to 35 feet from

the sensor. Ideally, the sensor is designed for small amounts of motion in

spaces up to 300 sq. ft. The Fresnel lens on the sensor is a multiple segment

viewing lens with a field of view of 180°.
The sensor must have a

clear view of the people in

the space in order to detect

occupancy. Obstructions,

such as furniture blocking

the sensor’s lens, may

prevent occupancy

detection.

floor

masking the lens

Opaque adhesive tape is supplied so that

sections of the sensor’s view can be masked.

This allows you to eliminate coverage in

unwanted areas.
Since masking removes bands of coverage,

remember to take this into account when

troubleshooting coverage problems.

1. Connect the existing wires in the wall box to the sensor flying leads.

(See Wiring Directions at right).

• Do not allow bare wire to show below connector.
• The ground wire must be tightly grounded for the unit to operate

properly.

2. Attach the sensor to the wall by mounting it in the wall box with the two

mounting screws provided.

3. Turn on power at the circuit breaker.
There is an initial warm‑up period after installation. It may take up to a

minute before the load turns on due to a sensor warm‑up period during
initial power‑up (this occurs during installation only). The load turns on after
the warm‑up period ends if the sensor detects motion.

Rapid successive pressing of the ON/Off button causes a delay in function.

A single press of the button causes an immediate response. If the button
is pressed again within 2 seconds, the switch ignores it. Wait at least two
seconds between button presses.

4. Test the sensor using the procedure in the Sensor Adjustments section.
5. Replace wall switch cover plate.

caUTION

Turn the power off at the circuit breaker before installing the sensor.
