Features
The Wireless Motion Sensor works with your Control4® system
and combines the features of a passive infrared (PIR) motion
sensor with ambient light sensing detection into a single device.
A feature-rich Composer Properties page enables high levels of
control without programming scripts.
The Wireless Motion Sensor adds even more intelligent home
automation to trigger and control events throughout the
Control4 system based on object motion, occupancy, and room
ambient lighting levels. Automatically control room lighting,
pathway lighting, exterior lighting, HVAC, and audio/video
applications either inside or outside the home.
The Wireless Motion Sensor also “greens” up the Control4-
automated home by enabling occupancy-based automation
controls. Used in concert with additional Control4 certified
products such as wireless sensors, relays, dimmers, and
motorized window coverings, the motion sensor can control
heating, cooling, and lighting systems to help comply with
environmental policies—California Title 24, and Canada’s NBC
2005, for example—while conserving resources and saving
money on utilities.
• Automated control of lights based on room occupancy
• Alerts when someone enters front walkway
• Detection of outdoor light levels for dawn/dusk events
• Automated pathway lighting
• Any other control application you can devise and safely
integrate!.
Requirements
• Control4 controller
• Composer Pro 1.8.0 or higher

Wireless Motion Sensor
Installation Guide

2
Installing the motion sensor
To install the batteries:
1 Remove the battery cover on the back of the motion sensor,
then install the 9V battery into the battery compartment.
Tip: Keep the battery cover o until after the motion
sensor is identified to the system.
After the battery is connected, the motion sensor’s red
LED (visible through the motion sensor window) will blink
for about eight seconds while a wireless connection is
established.
Note: The motion sensor requires a warm-up time of
about 60 seconds before it can reliably detect motion.
2 After the motion sensor is powered up, the walk test LED
(red LED) is automatically enabled for five minutes, allowing
the red LED to indicate when motion is detected (see “Walk
test and adjustment” below). This allows the installer time to
adjust the motion sensor positioning and perform walk tests
to verify that motion detection is functioning as desired.
Note: Battery Low and Battery Critical events are
generated by the Control4 system when the battery
level on the motion sensor drops to a certain level.
These events can be used by Composer scripts to
signal the installer and the homeowner that battery
replacement is needed.
To add the motion sensor to the Composer Pro project:
1 In the Search tab in Composer Pro, type “Motion Sensor,”
then double-click the motion sensor in the search results to
add it to your project.
2 When prompted to identify the device to the system, press
the button inside the battery compartment four times.
The green LED blinks twice to confirm the ID has been sent
to the Control4 system and the MAC address of the device
will be added to the appropriate field.
3 To configure Composer project events based on the motion
sensor’s states, refer to Composer Pro documentation.
To mount the motion sensor:
1 Select a mounting location. Consider the following:
• A mounting height of six to eight feet is recommended.
• Making sure the motion sensor is positioned for good
ZigBee wireless reception by (1) ensuring it is within 100
feet of another ZigBee device and (2) avoiding other
electrical equipment that may cause interference with the
ZigBee signal (such as 2.4GHz cordless telephones).
• Shielding the motion sensor from direct sunlight, if
possible, for better motion sensing reliability.
• Avoiding placement of the motion sensor near heat- or
cold-producing devices (for example, air conditioning
or furnace vents, fans, ovens, and heaters) to avoid false
triggers.
2 Attach the wall mount swivel bracket using the screws and
wall anchors provided.
3 If mounting the motion sensor to drywall, you may need to
mark and pre-drill two 3/16-inch mounting holes at the two
screw hole locations, then press the plastic wall anchors
(included) into the drilled holes.
4 Slide the back of the sensor into the wall mount swivel
bracket.
Note: The mounting angle can be adjusted. See to
“Walk test and adjustment” below to determine the best
mounting angle.
Walk test and adjustment
It is important to perform a walk test after mounting the motion
sensor in order to determine if the sensor is properly detecting
motion in the desired areas. The Walk Test mode will indicate
whether motion is detected by illuminating the red LED on the
motion sensor. The Walk Test mode is automatically activated for
five minutes after the device is first powered up or any time its ID
button is pressed.
The angle of the motion sensor may be adjusted, in order to
control how far the motion sensor can “see.”
1 To reduce the detection range, simply tilt the sensor
downward. To increase the range, tilt the sensor upward.
Range is maximized when the sensor is tilted to 12°.
Tip: We recommend that the motion sensor is not
adjusted to less than a 12° angle. Maximum range may
not be desired if the motion sensor is placed outdoors,
since a false trigger may occur if the motion sensor is
set to detect motion in the distance. Motion sensitivity
is also adjustable on the Properties page in Composer
Pro. (See “Advanced settings” below for information on
adjusting the sensitivity.)

Note: Ceiling-mount sensors cannot be adjusted.
Ceiling-mount coverage
You can use two or more motion sensors to improve detection
coverage in an area. Multiple motion sensors can cascade (or link)
to act together as a single motion sensing device, thus increasing
the detection coverage. The “Motion detected” event will happen
when any of the cascaded/linked motion sensors detect motion,
and the “No motion detected” event will be sent when all of the
cascaded/linked motion sensor Occupancy Hold times have
expired. This cascading process is done within Composer Pro
from the Connections tab and is recommended if more than one
motion sensor is used in the same general area.
Occupancy Hold Time
When motion is detected in the monitored area, the motion
sensor sends a “Motion detected” event to the Control4 system.
When no motion has been detected for the designated time
period (“Occupancy Hold Time”), a “No motion” event is sent to
the Control4 system.
Using the slider on the Properties page in Composer Pro, the
Occupancy Hold Time may be adjusted to values ranging from
five seconds to 60 minutes. Use the Occupancy Hold Time for
the length of time required for the duration of the event or for
the amount of time for a device to be controlled. For example, if
you are controlling a light in a particular room, set the Occupancy
Hold Time for amount of time you want the light to stay on after
no more movement is detected. Then use the “No motion” alert
event to shut o the controlled light. The higher the Occupancy
Hold Time setting, the longer the battery life of the motion
sensor.

Motion sensor sensitivity adjustment
The sensitivity of the motion sensor is adjustable in the
Properties page in Composer Pro. Change the setting by moving
the sensitivity slider higher (to the right) or lower (to the left).
When the sensitivity is set lower, more movement is required
to trigger the motion sensor. We recommend that you set the
sensitivity to a middle value, and then perform a “walk test”
(described in “Walk test and adjustment”). If the walk test result
is satisfactory, the sensitivity does not require further adjustment.
Advanced settings
The Properties page in Composer Pro allows for advanced
configuration of motion sensor and light sensor properties.
Several characteristics of the motion sensor can be programmed
and are described in the following diagram:
Troubleshooting
To remove the motion sensor from the network and restore
factory settings:
1 Remove power from the device.
2 Press and hold the ID button while returning power.
3 Continue to hold the ID button until the LED turns solid
orange, then release the button. The motion sensor is now
restored to factory configuration.
If the motion sensor is not working properly:
1 Restart the motion sensor by removing the batteries or
power supply and then returning power. Power must be
removed for at least 10 seconds to ensure a proper reboot.
