UNIT DESCRIPTION
Use the ightSense™ PSWO Wireless Repeater in
large installations, where the standard range
(approximately 25m/80’) is insufficient, or in buildings
with difficult wireless reception conditions.
The wireless repeater effectively doubles the
transmit/receive range of ightSense wireless
devices.
In large applications or where radio reception is difficult, you may use two
repeaters, strategically located. For extremely large or difficult applications
requiring more than two repeaters, please contact Technical Support for
assistance.
The wireless repeater also offers a security feature – real life occupancy
emulation. It continuously records a one-week loop of actual ightSense
wireless network traffic, and can play it back when you’re away from home – it
will look like the house is occupied.
While we recommend the repeater for either or both of these functions, you
should use only the number required for effective wireless communication
throughout the home. Using too many repeaters will not provide any additional
benefit and may slow down network communication. For in-depth system
design guidance, see Application Assistance, below.
LightSense ireless
ightSense wireless devices use radio signals to communicate with each other
to control lighting and other types of electric loads in selected areas.
ightSense wireless devices use the 900MHz band for high-speed control
communication. Using the patented “frequency-agile” Top Dog™ technology,
ightSense wireless devices avoid interference with other 900MHz devices,
such as cordless phones and baby monitors.
Application Assistance
The ightSense Installation Guide provides more information about configuring
the ightSense wireless control system, including setting up scenes and
presets. Instructions for installation and use are included with the relevant
ightSense wireless devices. Application support information, the
Specification
Guide and the ightSense Installation Guide are available at the Pass &
Seymour/ egrand website, www.passandseymour.com.

INSTALLATION
1. ocate the repeater in a central location, taking into consideration both the
horizontal and vertical space in the home. In a 2-story plus basement home,
a good position may be on the first floor atop a kitchen cabinet.
2. Plug the external power supply into a convenient 120 volt outlet, and
connect the power cord to the repeater’s power socket.
3. The status ED will light yellow, indicating that the unit is ready for
configuration.
Do not locate the PSWO Wireless Repeater close to any
device that may cause interference or behind large metal
objects that can block radio reception. Avoid fluorescent light
fixtures, TV sets, computers, refrigerators, microwave
ovens, range hoods, safes, etc.

SET HOUSE ID
All ightSense™ wireless devices installed in the same home must acquire the
same unique House ID before use. This process is known as house binding.
Each ightSense wireless device is bound to all other ightSense wireless
devices in the house.
IMPORTANT: Because the repeater increases the range of the ightSense
wireless system, it is very important to make sure the repeater is installed and
powered before setting the House ID using any other ightSense wireless
device. The repeater automatically
checks for House IDs that are
installed in the neighborhood.
New Installation
1. With all devices installed and
energized, make sure that
every ightSense wireless
device ED is yellow. If any
ED is off, be sure the circuit
breaker is on and the device
is correctly installed.
2. Press on any device until the ED flashes yellow (about 2 seconds).
This indicates that it has acquired a unique House ID.
3. Make sure that all other ightSense wireless device EDs are flashing
green, indicating that they have acquired the same House ID.
4. Return to the device used in step 2, which is still flashing yellow. Press
until the ED changes to solid green (about 2 seconds). All device EDs in
the house change to solid green, indicating house binding is complete.
Adding a Device to an Existing Installation
If you’re adding or replacing a device in a ightSense wireless installation that
is already operating, the new device must acquire the same House ID as the
other ightSense wireless devices in the house. After the new device is
powered up, the ED should be solid yellow. This indicates that it has not yet
acquired a House ID. To acquire the House ID for the existing system:
1. Press on any previously bound device until the ED flashes yellow
(about 2 seconds).
2. Verify that the newly added device ED is flashing green, indicating that it
has acquired the House ID.
3. Return to the same previously bound device used in step 1 and press
until the ED changes to solid green (about 2 seconds). All device EDs
should now be solid green.

When you see
in the instructions,
firmly press and
hold both buttons
on the PSWO until
the ED changes
(about 2 seconds).

OPERATION
ireless Range Boost
Once the repeater is bound to the house, it automatically receives and
retransmits all wireless ightSense™ network traffic in the house, effectively
doubling the range of all devices sharing the same House ID.
Occupancy Emulation
The repeater stores a 7-day record of actual network traffic. It constantly keeps
it up to date to account for seasonal variations in lighting use.
1. Press the Away button. One
minute later the repeater starts
playing back a seven-day loop
of wireless ightSense
commands. It will be just like the
last week you spent at home.
2. When you come back, press
Home, or any button on any
wireless ightSense device in
the home to cancel occupancy
emulation.
Power Fail Memory
After a power failure, all ightSense
devices automatically return to the
state they were in immediately prior
to loss of power. All configuration
and scene control information is
preserved.

ADVANCED OPERATION
Assigning Occupancy Emulation to a House Scene
You can assign the repeater’s occupancy emulation function to a ightSense™
House Scene button. This is very convenient, especially if the repeater is
installed in a hard to reach area.
1. From a wireless house scene controller (PSWCH or PSWRH), press until
its ED begins flashing (about 2 seconds).
2. Press the scene button you want to use. We recommend the fourth one. The
EDs on all the ightSense wireless devices begin to flash. You now have
10 minutes to complete this process.
3. Go to the repeater and press both buttons for 2 seconds until the repeater
status ED blinks yellow.
IMPORTANT: Only one repeater should be assigned to the house scene
button. If you have more than one repeater, use the most centrally located.
4. Check all the ightSense wireless device EDs. If they are blinking yellow,
they are assigned to the selected scene button. To exclude a device from
the scene press on the device until the ED begins to flash green.
Yellow flashing ED = Included in the active scene
Green flashing ED = NOT included in the active scene
If you get to a device and its ED is NOT flashing, the 10 minute binding
process timer may have expired. Go back to step 1 and repeat.
5. Return to the house scene controller used in step 1. Press for 2 seconds
– the status ED stops flashing, then all the status EDs in the house turn to
solid green.
6. From the same house scene controller, press and hold the same scene
button until the ED flashes once (about 2 seconds). Scene recording for
this button is complete.
7. When you leave the house, press the House Scene button you just
recorded. One minute later, occupancy emulation will begin.

CLEANING
Clean using a cloth dampened only with water and a little mild detergent.
Use of solvents or hydrocarbon-based cleaners may cause permanent
damage.
TROUBLESHOOTING
During Set House ID, the LED is not flashing on some ireless
LightSense™ devices.
• If LED is solid green before initiating House ID binding:
The device already has another House ID. Reset it to the factory default
so that it can be bound to the desired House ID. Resetting to factory
defaults is described in the “I need to start over” issue.
• If LED is solid yellow after initiating House ID binding:
The device may be out of range of the initiating device. Relocate the
PSWO. It may be necessary to add another PSWO if reception to a
particular area of the house is blocked.
I made a configuration mistake. I need to start over.
You can reset any wireless ightSense device to factory default settings
by pressing and holding until the ED changes to solid yellow
(approximately 10 seconds). During the process, the ED flashes yellow
and when complete, it changes to solid yellow. The device can then be
reconfigured, exactly like any new device.
