INSTALLATION & WIRING
Disconnect power to the wall switch box by turning OFF the circuit
breaker or removing the fuse for the circuit before installing the
RS-150BA-N, replacing lamps, or doing any electrical work.
1. Prepare the switch box.
After the power is turned off at the circuit breaker
box, remove the existing wall plate and mounting
screws. Pull the old switch out from the wall box.
2. Identify the type of circuit.
In a Single Pole Circuit (see Fig. 2), two single wires
connect to two screws on the existing switch. A
ground wire may also be present and connected to
a ground terminal on the old switch. A neutral wire
should also be present in the wall box.
For your safety: Connecting a proper ground to the sensor
provides protection against electrical shock in the event of
certain fault conditions. If a proper ground is not
Only connect the RS-150BA-N to a Single Pole Circuit. The RS-150BA-N is
not suitable for 3-way switching. If the existing wiring does not match the
description for a Single Pole Circuit, you should consult with a qualified
electrician.
3. Prepare the Wires.
Tag the wires currently connected to the existing
switch, so that they can be identified later.
Disconnect the wires. Make sure the insulation is
stripped off the wires to expose their copper cores
to the length indicated by the "Strip Gage," in Fig.
3 (approximately 1/2 inch).
4. Wire the sensor.
Twist the existing wires together with the wire leads on the RS-150BA-N
sensor
as indicated below.
Cap them securely using
the wire nuts provided.
See Fig 4.
• Connect the green
or non-insulated
(copper) GROUND wire
from the circuit to the
ground terminal on the
RS-150BA-N.
• Connect the NEUTRAL
wire from the circuit
and from the lamp
or fan (LOAD) to the
white wire on the
RS-150BA-N.
• Connect the power wire
from the circuit (HOT)
to the black wire on the
RS-150BA-N.
• Connect the power wire
to the lamp or fan (LOAD)
to the red wire on the
RS-150BA-N.
5. Put the RS-150BA-N in the
wall box with the lens positioned above the ON/OFF button (lens at top, button
at bottom).
Secure it to the wall box with the screws provided.
6. Install industry standard decorator wall switch cover plate (not included).
7. Restore power to the circuit.
Turn on the breaker or replace the fuse.
