The SP-211 is a motion sensor that dims lighting from high to low
based on movement. This slim, low-profile sensor is designed for
installation inside the bottom of a light fixture body. The PIR lens
module connects to the SP-211 through a 1.30" diameter hole in
the bottom of the fixture.
The sensors use passive infrared (PIR) sensing technology that
reacts to changes in infrared energy (moving body heat) within the
coverage area. Once the sensor stops detecting movement and the
time delay elapses lights will go from high to low mode and eventually
to an O position if it is desired. Sensors must directly “see” motion
of a person or moving object to detect them, so careful consideration
must be given to sensor luminaire placement and lens selection. Avoid
placing the sensor where obstructions may block the sensor’s line
of sight.
IR Occupancy Sensor: FS -211
IR Occupancy Sensor Installation Instruction
1. Determine an appropriate mounting location inside the light fixture minimizing the electric light contribution to
the sensor’s photocell. Allow a minimum distance of 0.2" (5.1mm) from the wiring end of the sensor to the wall
of the fixture.
2. Drill a hole 1.30" (33.0mm) in diameter through the sheet metal in the bottom of the fixture.
3. Add the rubber gasket to the threaded collar, and install the sensor face down, parallel to the mounting
surface. Ensure the rubber gasket touches the inside surface of the fixture. Install the plastic nut securely
against the fixture to a torque of 25-30 in-lbs to ensure IP rating is maintained.
4. Align the locking features between the sensor and lens module and push the lens module forward until the
o-ring seals firmly. Turn the lens module clockwise to ensure it locks in place.
5. Connect wires as shown in wiring diagram.
6. Restore power from the circuit breaker.
NOTE: The Outside ixture Wall
thickness should be no greater
than 0.125"(3.18mm) for optimal
sensor mounting and security.

Sequence of Operation
Dimming: When motion is detected within the sensor’s coverage area, the sensor sends a signal to ramp the load up
to the selectable High Mode level unless the ambient light level is higher than the selected setpoint. When no motion is
detected for the duration of the time delay setting (factory preset at 5 minutes), the lights will go to the selectable Low
Mode level based on the signal from the sensor. If desired, a cut off time delay (factory preset at 1 hour) will trigger to
eventually turn the lights O .
Non-dimming: When motion is detected within the sensor’s coverage area, the sensor sends a signal to turn the load
ON unless the ambient light level is higher than the selected setpoint. When no motion is detected for the duration of
the time delay setting (factory preset at 5 minutes), the lights will go O based on the signal from the sensor.
Dusk to dawn control: When photocell on/off is enabled, and the ambient light falls below the photocell setpoint, the
sensor ramps the load up to the selectable High Mode level. If no motion is detected for the duration of the time delay
setting (factory preset at 5 minutes), the lights will go to the selectable Low Mode level. If the cut off time delay is
disabled, the load will remain on, at High or Low level, based on motion detection, until the ambient light increases
above the photocell setpoint.
IR Occupancy Sensor: Wiring
NOTE: The SP-211 must be grounded to
ensure signal integrity, not for safety ground.

The configuration process establishes the appropriate parameters for the SP-211 operation. This is done through
the SIR-100 configuration tool. If no configuration steps are taken, the sensor will use its default parameter
values.
The SIR-100 Wireless IR Configuration Tool is a handheld tool for changing defaults and testing of SP-211. It
provides wireless access to the SP-211 sensors for parameter changes and testing.
The SIR-100 display shows menus and prompts to lead you through each process. The navigation pad provides
a simple way to navigate through the customization fields.
Within a certain mounting height of the sensor, the SIR-100 allows modification of the system without requiring
ladders or tools; simply with a touch of a few buttons.
The SIR-100 IR transceiver allows bi-directional communication between the SP-211 and the SIR-100
configuration tool. Simple menu screens let you see the current status of the sensor and make changes. It can
change SP-211 sensor parameters such as high/low mode, sensitivity, time delay, cut off, and more. With the
SIR-100 you can also establish and store SP-211 parameter profiles.

Batteries
The SIR-100 operates on three standard 1.5V AAA Alkaline batteries or three rechargeable AAA NiMH batteries. The
battery status displays in the upper right corner of the display. Three bars next to BAT= indicates a full battery charge. A
warning appears on the display when the battery level falls below a minimum acceptable level. To conserve battery
power, the SIR-100 automatically shuts off 10 minutes after the last key press.
• If communication is not successful, (if possible) move closer to the sensor.
• If still not successful, there may be too much IR interference from other sources. Programming the unit at night
when there is no daylight available may be the only way to communicate with the sensor.
Navigation
Navigate from one field to another using (up) or (down) arrow keys. The
active field is indicated by flashing (alternates) between yellow text on
black background and black text on yellow background.
Once active, use the Select button to move to a menu or function within
the active field. Value fields are used to adjust parameter settings. They
are shown in “less-than/greater-than” symbols: <value>. Once active,
change them using(left) and(right) arrow keys. The right key increments
and the left key decrements a value. Selections wrap-around if you
continue to press the key beyond maximum or minimum values. Moving
away from the value field overwrites the original value. The Home button
takes you to the main menu. The Back button can be thought of as an undo
function. It takes you back one screen. Changes that were in process prior
to pressing the key are lost.
IR Communication
IR communication can be affected by the mounting height of the sensor
and high ambient lighting such as direct daylight or electric light such as
floodlights, and some halogen, fluorescent lamps, LED’s.
When trying to communicate with the SP-211, be sure to be positioned
under the sensor without any obstructions. Every time the commissioning
tool establishes communication with the SP-211, the controlled load will
cycle.

Troubleshooting
Lights will not go to High Mode:
• Check all wire connections and verify the load and the ground wires are tightly secured.
• Make sure that the sensor is not obstructed.
• Check light level parameter, to find out the amount of light that the sensor is detecting. Cover the sensor lens to
simulate darkness in the room. If the lights come ON, the setpoint needs to be adjusted. If set for minimum, more
than 1 fc at the sensor of ambient light will cause the lights to be held O . See the new settings section for
instructions.
Lights will not go into Low Mode:
• The time delay can be set from a minimum of 30 seconds to a maximum of 30 minutes. Ensure that the time delay
is set to the desired delay and that there is no movement within the sensor’s view for that time period.
• To quickly test the unit operation, enable test mode and move out of the sensor’s view. Lights should fade to
low mode after 5 seconds.
Lights will not turn OFF:
• Cut Off time may be set to “None.”
• Ensure that the Cut Off is set to the desired time and that there is no movement within the sensor’s view for that
time period when the lights are in Low Mode.
• To quickly test the unit operation, enable test mode and move out of the sensor’s view. Lights should fade to low
mode after 5 seconds, and the O (if cut off is enabled) after 10 sec.
alse Triggering may occur if the sensor is exposed to high ambient temperature conditions and the unit is set to
maximum sensitivity for PIR detection.
• If this occurs, reduce the PIR sensitivity setting from maximum to a medium point and re-check unit operation.
• If experiencing false triggering during fade down/Off, try increasing the fade time.
Lights do not turn ON:
Check for blinking red LED. If the LED blinks with long pulses, as opposed to short pulses, the sensor has reached
its Hold Off setpoint or Photocell Light Level setpoint.
Lights suddenly turn off and will not come back on:
Check for blinking red LED. If the LED blinks with long pulses, as opposed to short pulses, the sensor has reached
its Hold Off setpoint or Photocell Light Level setpoint.
