UNIT DESCRIPTION
The LightSense™ Wireless PSWS Switch incorporates an electro-mechanical
relay that switches the load safely using patented zero-crossing technology.
LightSense Wireless
LightSense wireless devices use radio signals to communicate with each other
to control lighting and other types of electric loads in selected areas. LightSense
wireless devices use the 900MHz band for high-speed control communication.
Using the patented “frequency-agile” Top Dog™ technology, LightSense
wireless devices avoid interference with other 900MHz devices, such as
cordless phones and baby monitors.
Load Types
Use the PSWS for the following load types, up to the 800W maximum load:
• Conventional (non-dimmable) fluorescent ballasts
• Discharge lighting fixtures
• Fixtures with integral dimmers
• AC motors and pumps

CAUTION
To reduce the risk of
overheating and possible
damage to other equipment, do
not install to control a receptacle.

INSTALLATION
For ease of installation, Pass & Seymour/Legrand recommends use of a deep
wall box.
1. Disconnect power to circuit by turning circuit breaker OFF before installation.
2. Remove the existing wall plate and switch, if one is present.
3. Strip existing wires 1/2". If two wires will be connected to the same terminal
on a LightSense™ device, both wires must be the same gauge (12AWG
or 14AWG).
4. Wire the LINE (black), LOAD, NEUT (white) and GND (green or bare) supply
and load wires to the correspondingly marked screw terminals, according to
the wiring diagram below.
5. Attach the wall plate.
6. Switch the circuit breaker back ON.
INSTALL IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL
APPLICABLE CODES & STANDA DS.
Failure to follow these instructions may cause
personal injury or equipment damage.

SET HOUSE ID
New Installation
All LightSense™ wireless devices installed in the same home must acquire the
same unique House ID before use. This process is known as house binding.
Each LightSense wireless device is bound to all other LightSense wireless
devices in the house.
New Installation
1. With all devices installed and energized, make sure that every LightSense
wireless device LED is yellow. If any LED is off, be sure the circuit breaker
is on and the device is correctly
installed.
2. Press on any device paddle
until the LED flashes yellow
(about 2 seconds). This indicates
that it has acquired a unique
House ID.
3. Make sure that all other
LightSense wireless device LEDs
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 LED changes to solid green (about 2 seconds). All device LEDs 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 LightSense wireless installation that is
already operating, the new device must acquire the same House ID as the other
LightSense wireless devices in the house. After the new device is powered up,
the LED 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 LED flashes yellow
(about 2 seconds).
2. Verify that the newly added device LED 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 LED changes to solid green (about 2 seconds). All device LEDs
should now be solid green.

When you see
in the instructions,
firmly press and
hold both the top
and bottom of the
device paddle until
the LED changes
(about 2 seconds).

OPERATION
eplacing Lamps
When a lamp must be replaced, tap to turn off the circuit. If you are
conducting maintenance on the load, turn off the circuit at the circuit breaker.
Power Fail Memory
After a power failure, all LightSense™ devices automatically return to the state
that they were in immediately prior to loss of power. All configuration and scene
control information is preserved.
When you see
in the
instructions,
touch the top
of the switch
as directed.
When you see
in the
instructions,
touch the
bottom of the
switch as
directed.

ADVANCED OPERATION
Groups
Use a LightSense™ Wireless PSWS Switch in conjunction with one or more
LightSense Wireless PSWCS Multilocation Controllers to control one non-
dimmable lighting circuit from multiple locations. Binding the PSWS and
PSWCS devices together in the same Group enables them to work in exactly
the same way, from any control location.
You can include other Wireless LightSense devices in the Group. ust
remember that all devices in the Group operate when one member operates.
Set the House ID (see Set House ID) before setting up Groups.
1. Go to any device that you want to include in the Group. Press . The
device LED flashes yellow, and all other devices in the House flash green.
You now have 5 minutes to complete this process.
2. To include or exclude a device in the Group press on the device until the
LED changes color. Yellow flashing LED = Included in the Group
Green flashing LED = NOT included in the Group
If you get to a device and it is NOT flashing, the 5 minute binding process
timer may have expired. Go back to step 1 and repeat.
3. Return to the device used in step 1 and press to terminate Group binding.
All LEDs turn solid green.
Adding a Switch to a Group in an Existing System
1. Go to a device that is in the existing Group where you want to add the
switch. Press . The device LED and all members of the Group flash yellow.
The new switch flashes green.
2. Press on the new switch until its LED flashes yellow.
3. Return to the device used in step 1 and press . All LEDs turn solid green.
Deleting a Switch from a Group in an Existing System
1. Go to a device
other than the one you’re deleting that is in the existing
Group. Press until the LED flashes yellow on each member of the Group.
2. Press on the switch you want to remove, until its LED flashes green.
3. Return to the device used in step 1 and press . All LEDs turn solid green.
Scene Control
The Wireless LightSense switch may be easily incorporated into room preset
and whole house preset scenes. The LightSense Installation Guide provides
more information about configuring scenes and presets.
Instructions for installation and use are included with the relevant LightSense
wireless room and whole house control devices. Application support information
and the
LightSense Installation Guide is available at www.passandseymour.com.

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
LightSense™ wireless 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. Add a PSWO
LightSense Wireless Repeater to boost signal range.
I made a configuration mistake. I need to start over.
You can reset any Lightsense wireless device to factory default settings
by pressing and holding until the LED changes to solid yellow
(approximately 10 seconds). During the process, the LED flashes yellow
and when complete, it changes to solid yellow. The device can then be
reconfigured, exactly like any new device (see the Set House ID section).
The switch does not work and the status LED is flashing red
at 2Hz (10 times in 5 seconds):
The switch has detected an overload condition and has shut down.
To clear the fault condition, tap and wait for the LED to turn green.
Disconnect loads in excess of rated load and try again.
