Sensor Placement and Coverage

Before mounting the sensor, please note the following:

  • If you cannot see the sensor, it cannot see you. The sensor cannot see through glass.
  • The sensor should be mounted at eye level. Recommended placement 6 to 8 ft (1.8 to 2.4 m).
  • DO NOT place the sensor within 4 ft (1.2 m) of moving air currents (ie: HVAC vents), heat sources (ie: light bulbs, or microwave / standard ovens), or within 6 in (15 cm) of other RF devices.
  • If there is a line of sight from the sensor to the paired devices (no obstructions) sensor can be located within 60 ft (18.3 m). Otherwise, the sensor must be within 30 ft (9.1 m).
  • Whenever possible, avoid placing the sensor in a location where it has a broad view outside the intended space.For additional tips and recommendations for sensor placement and coverage visit: www.casetawireless.com/sensorcoverage

Sensor Coverage

Minor Motion Coverage- (small movement, i.e., turning a page) 15 X 2 X 35 = 1050 ft 2 (97.5 m 2 ) Major Motion Coverage- (large movement, i.e., walking) 20 X 2 X 45 = 1800 ft 2 (167.2 m 2 )

Temporary Mounting

To test sensor coverage, a 3MT CommandT adhesive strip is provided for temporarily mounting the sensor. The strip is not reusable and should not be used for permanently mounting the sensor.

Testing Sensor Coverage

  1. Press and release the “Test” button on the top of the sensor. The lens will glow briefly, indicating the test mode has been entered.
  2. With the sensor temporarily mounted in the intended location, walk around the space while observing the lens. If the lens glows, motion is detected. If you are not satisfied with the sensor’s performance, relocate the sensor and repeat the test.Press and release the “Test” button again to exit test mode.

Testing Wireless Communication

Press and release the button to toggle the lights on and off, while the sensor is in its intended mounting location.If the lights do not respond properly, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

Removing Temporary Mounting Strip

Pull down very slowly. DO NOT pull at an angle.

Permanent Mounting

The sensor is designed to be free-standing or for installation on drywall or plaster surfaces.

Flat Wall-MountThe flat wall-mount bracket is designed to mount flat against a wall.Use the provided screws and drywall anchors.

  1. Mark wall
  2. Drill holes
  3. Push anchors into wall and mount bracket

Corner-MountThe corner-mount bracket can be used to mount in a corner or angled on a wall away from a corner.

  • Mounting directly in a corner

Use the mounting bracket side “A” and the provided screws.

  • Mounting angled on a wall away from corner Use the mounting bracket side “B”. Use provided screws and drywall anchors.

Advanced Sensor Features

The sensor has three adjustable advanced set-up modes. For most installations, the default settings will provide the best performance. If you determine the default settings require adjustment, refer to the back of the sensor. For additional information, visit www.casetawireless.com/sensorfeaturesTimeout: The sensor will turn off if no motion occurs for the duration of the timeout period. The available timeout settings are: 1, 5, 15, and 30 minutes.(Default: 15 minutes)Activity: The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted based on the expected level of activity within the room. There are three available activity settings: Low Activity, Medium Activity, and High Activity. (Default: Low Activity)Auto-On: (PD-OSENS model only) When Enabled, lights will turn on automatically when the room is entered and turn off when vacant. When Disabled, lights will need to be manually turned on but will turn off automatically when the room becomes vacant. (Default: Enabled) Recommendation: For applications in bedrooms or when pets are in the space, it’s suggested to change Auto-on setting to Disabled.

Troubleshooting:

Symptom Solution
Lights do not turn ON when pressing the buttons. Verify that the load control device is installed properly AND turned ON at the breaker.
Verify that the sensor was successfully paired with the correct load control.
Ensure that the sensor is within range.30 ft (9.1 m) with obstructions, 60 ft (18.3 m) without.
Make sure that the battery has been installed correctly (Refer to Step 1).
Check if the light bulb is blown out.
Lights do not turn ON when space is occupied. While in the final mounted position, ensure that the wireless communication is working properly by pressing the button on the sensor.
If the lights were turned off manually, verify that the room has been unoccupied for the durationof the sensor timeout period. (Press the buttons on the sensor, if lights come on, this was the issue, and the sensor is operating correctly).
Change the activity setting of the sensor to Medium or Low Activity.Refer to the back of the sensor or visit www.casetawireless.com/sensorfeatures
Ensure that the intended motion is occurring within the coverage area (Refer to Step 3).
(Occupancy Versions Only) Verify that the Auto-On setting of the sensor is set to “Enabled”.Refer to the back of the sensor or visit www.casetawireless.com/sensorfeatures
