Specifications
Description
The SIR-LONG Corner/Wall ount Low Voltage Occupancy Sensor is a Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensing
lighting control, used for energy savings and convenience. When motion is detected, the blue wire is electronically
connected to the red wire, energizing the relay in the switchpack to turn ON the load. If vacancy is detected, the
blue wire is disconnected from the red, causing the relay to open turning OFF the load. The red lead is 10 to 30 VDC
supply, the black lead is common, and the blue is the relay control. (-D models: yellow is second relay control)
PIR Technology
The sensor’s segmented lens divides the field of view into sensor zones, and detects the changes in temperature
that are created when a person, or part of a person as small as a hand, passes into or out of a sensor zone.
The sensor includes self-adaptive technology that continually adjusts to conditions by adjusting sensitivity and
time delay in real-time. By adjusting sensitivity and time delay automatically, the sensor is maximizing the potential
energy savings that are available in the particular application.
The Daylighting feature (-D model only: yellow control lead only) prevents lights from turning ON when the room is
adequately illuminated by natural light.
Walk-Through feature maximizes energy savings by not leaving the lights ON after a momentary occupancy. The
sensor will switch the lights ON when it detects a person entering the area. If the sensor does not continue to
detect motion 30 seconds following the initial activation, it will automatically go to a shorter 2 minute time delay.
In Automatic On ode, the lights turn ON when a person enters the room. In anual-ON ode, the lights are
turned ON by activating a momentary switch (model # RS2-*) that is connected to the sensor. When used with 2
level lighting (-D model only), bi-level Automatic-ON can be achieved which allows Zone 1 to come ON automatically
upon occupancy. Zone 2 does not come ON unless the occupant presses the optional momentary switch.
Coverage
Location
The maximum coverage area may vary somewhat according to room shape and the presence of
obstacles. Follow the coverage diagram concerning major and minor motion coverage. The sensor
must have a clear view of the area to be controlled. The sensor will not “see” through glass. ounting
height should not exceed 12 feet. Optimum mounting height is 10 feet. To prevent false activation,
the sensor shoul be mounte away from the air supply uct a minimum of 4 to 6 feet. ounting
at fixture height is most effective.
Installation
The SIR-LONG can be mounted to the wall, ceiling, junction box, or round fixture with raceway.

Checkout and Adjust ent
Adjustments should be made with the HVAC system ON. Use only insulated tools to make adjustments.
Self-A just
Sensor is shipped in the Self-Adjust ode. This applies to time delay and PIR sensitivity. In preparation for the
Installer Test, the time delay is set to 15 seconds, after the sensor is installed, powered-ON and has stabilized, the
unit will time-out 15 seconds after the last motion detected. Coverage and sensitivity can be confirmed by watching
the Red (PIR) indicator LED on the front of the sensor, while moving around the room.
1.Walk around the room and monitor LED. LED should only turn ON for one second with each motion.
(If LED do not turn ON, go to Installer Adjustments - Sensitivity Adjustments Section)
2.Stand still six to eight feet away from the sensor for five seconds. LED should not turn ON. (If any LED turns
ON, go to Installer Adjustments – Sensitivity Adjustment section)
3.Walk outside the room and wait 15 seconds for the lights to turn OFF. (If lights do not turn OFF go to Installer
Adjustments Section)
4.Re-enter the room to activate sensor. (If lights do not turn ON go to Troubleshooting Section)
5.The unit will remain in Test ode for 5 minutes then automatically exit Test ode and go for 10 min.

Sensitivity A justments
PIR Sensitivity
1. Stand in different areas of the room and wave your hands.
2. If the Red LED does not turn ON, check for any obstructions.
3. Stand still six to eight feet away from sensor for five seconds. LED should not turn ON.
4. If Red LED turns ON without motion or is constantly ON adjust PIR sensitivity to 50% by moving DIP
Switch 5 UP.
Fiel -of-view outsi e the space
1. Adjust PIR sensitivity to 50% by moving DIP Switch 5 up.
Daylight A justments
If this feature is not needed, leave the light level at maximum (fully CW).
The Daylighting feature (-D model only) prevents the lights from turning ON when the room is adequately
illuminated by natural light. If there is enough light in the room regardless of occupancy, the sensor will
hold the lights OFF. If there is not enough light in the room, the sensor will allow the lights to turn ON when
occupied.
Full an Half Logic Mo es (See DIP Switch legend):
In both Full and Half Logic modes, lights connected to the yellow control lead will not turn ON upon
occupancy activation, should the ambient light level exceed the preset foot-candle level.
After activation:
Full Logic ode - should the ambient light level exceed the preset foot-candle level, the lights connected
to the yellow control lead will turn OFF. The lights will remain OFF, until the ambient light level falls below
the set point.
Half Logic ode – the output state of the yellow control lead will not change with ambient light changes,
after occupancy activation. If the amount of natural light available rises above the setpoint, the daylight
sensor will not turn the lights OFF while occupancy is being detected.
Note: Set the light level when the ambient light is at the level where no artificial light is needed. In order
for this feature to function, the yellow control lead must be wired.
1.With the load ON, put the sensor into Test ode. To place into Test ode, toggle DIP Switch 10 out of
its current position, wait 3 seconds and then back in to its original position.
2.Set DIP Switch 10 to Full or Half Logic ode.
3.Set the Light level to inimum (fully CCW).
4. Leave the room and let the sensor time-out so lights are OFF. Enter the space and lights should
remain OFF.
5. ake sure not to block the sensor from the daylight source and adjust the light level potentiometer
CW in small increments until the lights are ON. (Pause 5 seconds between each adjustment)
6.Once the lights are ON, the load connected to the sensor will not turn ON if light levels are above the
current illumination.
Time Delay A justments
People who remain very still for long periods of time may need a longer Time Delay than the default set-
ting of 10 minutes. As long as Auto is enabled, the sensor will respond to each pair of false offs with no nor-
mal OFF in between, by alternately making slight adjustments to either time delay (by 2 minute increments)
or sensitivity, so there should be no need for manual adjustment. If manual adjustment is desired, refer to
Time Delay settings in DIP Switch legend.
Reset sensor time delay to factory settings by moving DIP Switches 1 and 2 down. (If DIP Switches 1 and
2 are already down, toggle DIP Switch 1 out of its current position, wait 3 seconds, and then back to its orig-
inal position)
Automatic Mo e
In Automatic-ON ode, the lights turn ON when a person enters the room. If optional momentary low volt-
age switches are used along with Automatic-ON ode, activating the switch(es) while the load is ON turns
the load OFF. When the load is turned OFF manually, as long as the sensor continues to detect occupancy
the loads stay OFF. After the time delay expires, the lights stay OFF and the sensor goes back to Automatic
ON ode. For wiring information for the optional momentary low voltage switch(es), please see the wiring
section of the installation instructions.
Manual Mo e
In anual ON ode, the optional momentary low voltage switch(es) is required to turn the load(s) ON. Once
activated the sensor will maintain the lights ON until motion ceases and the time delay expires. While the
room is occupied the BAS relay remains active. After the time delay expires, the load(s) will automatically
be turned OFF and the switch(es) must be used to turn the load(s) ON unless there is motion detected within
the 10 second re-trigger period.
Lighting Sweep Option
If selected, this DIP Switch option forces an initial 60 second delay upon “power up” to prevent false acti-
vation in buildings with computer control systems.
1. ove DIP Switch 9 UP.
Overri e
The Override setting allows the lights to remain ON in the unlikely event of sensor failure.
1. ove DIP Switch 8 UP.
While in Override ode, the optional low voltage momentary switch(es) will toggle the lighting load(s).
