Some local building codes may require installation by a quali-

INSTALLATION
❐For your safety, turn off power at the fuse or circuit breaker.
Note: A “3-way” circuit controls lights from two separate switches. If
you want to use this product in a single switch circuit or if you want
to install more than one motion sensing wall switch, see Special
Installations, page 8.
❐Select a 3-way circuit that controls a light or an outlet to a lamp.
Total lighting must be from 25 to 500 watts incandescent, or 60 to
400 watts fluorescent using a rapid start ballast. Note: May not
be used to operate electronic or magnetic ballasts. Less wattage
than the minimum may not allow the control to work properly. The
switch selected for replacement should be in a place that can detect
motion in the desired area.
✓For easier re-wiring later, mark the house wiring with tape
indicating where the wire had been connected.
In the following section you will install a jumper wire at one 3-way
switch and replace the other switch with the SL-6107.
*Note: The existing 3-way switch will be referred to as the “Remote
Switch” throughout the rest of the installation manual.

RED is used to represent the second wire between two standard three-way switches. This may not be the color
used in all installation. If you are not sure about your wiring, call an electrician for installation help. There is also
a RED wire on the SL-6107 switch. Check the instructions above closely and do not confuse the two.

INSTALLATION
1. Add Jumper At Remote 3-Way Switch.
A jumper wire between the common wire and one of the switched
wires is used to supply power to the SL-6107 regardless of the posi-
tion of the remote switch.
❐Remove remote switch from the junction box.
❐Connect the jumper wire to the common lug (usually labeled on
the switch) and to either one of the two switched lugs. If you're
not sure which lug is common, install the jumper on any two of
the wires, and test the jumper as explained on the next page.

2. Replace Other Switch.
❐Turn the power off at the circuit breaker.
❐Remove and disconnect the old switch.
Note: If you can’t tell which wire is common, etc., connect the wires
in the following steps as best you can, then follow the test on the
next page.
❐Connect the black motion sensor wire to the common wire.
❐Connect the brown motion sensor wire to the jumpered wire on
the remote switch.
❐Connect the red motion sensor wire to the non-jumpered wire.
❐Connect the green motion sensor wire to the ground wire.

The sensor can be prevented from turning on lights when there is
already enough light in the room. Use a small screwdriver to set
the light level using this diagram as a guide. In the fully clockwise
position, the sensor turns on lights even in full daylight. In the fully
counter-clockwise position, the sensor only turns on lights when the
surrounding light level is very low.
❐With the switch in the AUTO position and the light at the desired
level for the lights to turn on, put the LIGHT control to the minimum
dark (fully counter-clockwise) position. Wait for the lights to turn
off.
❐Move your hand in front of the sensor. While moving your hand in
front of the sensor, slowly turn the LIGHT adjustment clockwise
until the lights controlled by the sensor come on.

USING THE LIGHT CONTROL
One of three functions can be selected by using the three-position
switch on the SL-6107:
Off: When you want the light off all the time.
The light will not be switched on by either switch. Put the control
in this position when changing light bulbs.
Auto: When you want the light to come on and turn off auto-
matically with motion or turn on with remote switch.
The control will switch the light on when motion is detected. If no
further motion is detected, the light will turn off after the pre-set
time period. To turn the light on again, move in the detection zone.
Flipping the remote switch up or down will turn the light on for the
pre-set time period.
On: When you want the light on all the time.
In this position, the light will remain on all the time, daytime and
night. Flipping the remote switch will not affect the light. The Photo
shut-off is also inactive.
OPERATIONS

595-4514-14
-12-
Light will not come on:
• Circuit breaker is off. Turn breaker back on.
• Bulb is burned out. Replace light bulb.
• Photo Sensitivity is set to DARK. Rotate the adjustment clockwise
towards the LIGHT position.
• Control is in the “Off” position. Set to Auto or On.
• Control may be wired incorrectly.See Troubleshooting Wiring Con-
nections, page 7.
Light will not turn off:
• Control is in the “On” position. Set to Auto or Off.
• Control time period set too long. Set to shorter time period.
• Control may be wired incorrectly.See Troubleshooting Wiring Con-
nections, page 7.
Remote switch does not work:
• The remote switch only works to turn the light on in the Auto mode.
Put sensor in the Auto mode.
• Control may be wired incorrectly.See Troubleshooting Wiring Con-
nections, page 7.
In Auto mode, light comes on randomly:
• Objects in detection area which heat and cool, such as air vents
or appliances, may trigger the control. Also, check wiring. See
Troubleshooting Wiring Connections, page 7.
• The remote switch may have been flipped on.
In the Auto mode, light does not turn on:
• If there is too much light already in the room, the light may not
come on. Turn the Photo control clockwise towards the any light
level position.
TROUBLESHOOTING

595-4514-14
In the Auto mode, light does not stay on:
• Motion is needed to keep the light on.
• Time control is adjusted for too little time. Turn the Time control
clockwise. Note: In the minimum time position, fluorescent lights
may not have enough time to turn on.
In the Auto mode, light turns on in daylight:
• Photo adjustment not set properly.Turn the Photo control counter-
clockwise towards the DARK position.
