xCella Wireless Device Pairing Guide 3
STEP 1: Enter Pairing mode. Double tap the xCella Remote Module user button to enter Override mode, then double tap again to
enter Pairing mode. The Remote Module LED will blink rapidly.
STEP 2: Send switch and sensor pairing commands according to the instructions below1. The Remote Module’s relay will cycle once
(light xtures blink) each time a switch or sensor is successfully paired.
Sending the pairing command a second time will unpair the switch or sensor from the Remote Module4. The relay will cycle twice
after a sensor or switch is unpaired.
STEP 3: Return to Normal mode. Double tap Remote Module user button5.
NOTES:
1. Up to 16 total switches and sensors can be paired to an xCella Remote Module.
2. If using Double Rocker switch, left side of switch will pair separately from right side of switch.
3. When pairing Sensor Switch wireless devices with xCella Remote Modules, follow special instructions in the Appendix.
4. Reset all pairings: press and hold the Remote Module for 5 seconds while in Pairing mode.
5. The Remote Module will automatically exit Pairing mode after 30 seconds.

4 xCella Wireless Device Pairing Guide
Wireless Switch 1. With the lights o, tap the Up button to go to default on level of 70%1.
2. Alternatively, you may double tap Up to turn on the room to full brightness.
3. Press and hold the Up or Down button to begin continuously increasing or dimming the light level.
Release the button when the desired light level is reached.
4. Tap the Down to turn o with a smooth ramp down of light output before turning o.
5. Alternatively, you may double tap the down button to instantly turn o the light.
6. Wireless 3-way and Multi-Way switching are supported by pairing multiple switches.
Wireless Occupancy Sensor 1. When occupancy sensors are paired to the Remote Module, and no switches are paired, the sensors
will automatically turn the lights on to the default level of 70% when motion is detected.
2. The default occupancy time delay is 15 minutes. The time delay is reset by receiving motion-
detection heartbeat signals from the wireless occupancy sensor.
3. 1 minute before the time delay expires, the light indicates a “double blink warning” by quickly
dimming to 30%, back to the current level, again to 30%, and then back to the current level.
4. Multiple sensors can be paired to a single Remote Module to extend sensing coverage.
Wireless Switch and Occupancy
Sensor
1. Energy code-compliant vacancy sensing is automatically enabled when a switch and sensor are
paired to a Remote Module. This means that the lights must be turned on manually via the switch.
2. The lights will automatically be turned o following expiration of the occupancy time delay. The
timer resets whenever a switch button is pressed or motion is detected.
3. Lights automatically turn on if motion is detected during a grace period of 10 seconds after
automatic shuto.
4. Lights may be shut o manually via wireless switch.
Wireless Photocell 1. The Remote Module automatically adjusts dimming level based on photocell readings using a
proportional sliding setpoint control algorithm. The algorithm is congured with a Photocell Start
oset so that dimming does not begin until the photocell reading exceeds target task illuminance.
2. The default dimming rate of the daylight response is 2 minutes (from full output to minimum),
providing a smooth and slow, non-distracting response under quickly changing daylight conditions.
3. The Remote Module dims to minimum output when photocell reading reaches the congured
Photocell End setting and does not turn o the electric lights.
4. The Remote Module is factory-congured with default Photocell Start and End settings for typical
indoor oce environments and is eld adjusted with xCella Utility Software2.
5. Only one photocell may be paired with the Remote Module.
Wireless Switch, Occupancy
Sensor, and Photocell
1. Lights are turned on manually to a level automatically determined by the photocell.
2. By default, dimming level overrides via wireless switch are not maintained. Manual adjustments to
the Remote Module’s dimming output will start to revert back to photocell-controlled levels within
2.5 minutes.
3. The occupancy sensor turns lights o automatically if no motion is detected within the occupancy
time delay period.
Keycard Switch 1. Inserting the keycard closes the relay and sets the dimming output to the default light level of 70%.
2. Removing the keycard starts a 30 second timer. At the end of this time delay, lights dim down and
then turn o (relay opens).
Wireless Door/Window Sensor 1. The Door/Window Sensor does not aect the operation of the relay or dimming output, and only
controls the contact closure outputs of the “DIO” model of xCella Remote Module.
2. When the Door/Window sensor is shut (magnet and sensor are closer than 0.25”), the N/C contact
will be connected to common (COM). The N/O contact will be open.
3. If the sensor is opened, the N/C contact will be opened, and the N/O contact will be connected to
common.
4. There is a 30 second time delay between sensor change of state (opening or closing) and contact
closure response. This time delay prevents unnecessary equipment cycling when doors or windows
are opened only momentarily.
NOTES:
1. Disregard references to dimming levels if using “SNI” switching-only Remote Modules. Actual light output will vary by ballast or driver.
2. xCella Utility Software is used for advanced adjustments and changes to the default Sequence of Operations.

xCella Wireless Device Pairing Guide 5
The xCella Remote Module Override Mode can be used to manually override the lights via the Remote Module User button.
This feature also provides a means of verifying the wiring connections of the Remote Module.
STEP 1: Enter Override mode. Double tap the Remote Module User button to enter Override mode. The LED will blink slowly.
In Override mode, the Remote Module does not respond to switches and sensors.
STEP 2: Toggle the relay and dimming output by pressing and holding the Remote Module user button for 1 second.
The dimming output will ramp down before the relay opens and the light turns o. Press and hold the user button for 1 second
again, and the relay will close, with the dimming output ramping up from minimum to maximum. If you are unable to see a
dimming response or complete shuto of the lights, open the circuit breaker and check all of the wiring connections to the
Remote Module.
STEP 3: Return to Normal mode. Double tap Remote Module user button to enter Pairing mode, then double tap again to enter
Normal mode. Override mode does not have an automatic timeout and the Remote Module will remain in this mode until
manually changed to another mode.
DIO MODEL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
The “DIO” model of the xCella Remote Module contains contact closure outputs used to interface with HVAC and other
systems, in addition to supporting a variety of low voltage inputs for use with low voltage occupancy sensors, photocells,
and contact closure devices.
Contact Closure Outputs
(N/C, N/O, COM)
1. Enabled by default.
2. The N/O contact closure follows the state of the line voltage relay, and is connected common (COM) when
closed. The N/C contact closure will be in an opposite state from the relay.
3. Once a Door/Window Sensor has been paired to the Remote Module, the contact closures will follow the
Door/Window Sensor (see Default Sequence of Operations) and relay state shall be ignored.
Alarm Input
(ALM)
1. Disabled by default, must be enabled and congured by xCella Utility Software.
2. When activated, the Alarm Input will bring the lights on to 100% and disable switches and sensors.
3. When released, switches and sensors will be enabled and the light output will revert to the previous level.
4. The input can be congured to support a pull-high or pull-low signal. Standard practice is to connect a
contact closure input between 14VDC and ALM.
Occupancy Sensor Input
(OCC)
1. Disabled by default, must be enabled and congured by xCella Utility Software.
2. Occupancy sensor input supports standard Sensor Switch low voltage sensors (no isolated relay required).
3. Time delay is set on the wired occupancy sensor (wireless sensor time delay has no impact on behavior).
