INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
Description:
Model MEW-OS500 senses occupancy by detecting the
difference between heat emitted from the human body in motion
and the background space. This device operates by detecting
motion within its field-of-view (Figure 1) and automatically
switches lights ON. When motion is no longer detected, lights re-
main ON for a selected time and automatically switch OFF. It is suit-
able for indoor use only. It is ideal for any room in your home that
would benefit from automatic light control, such as bathrooms,
bedrooms, and living areas.
.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Built-in photocell, increases energy savings.
Adjustable detection ranges of light level, distance and time delay
are located on the front of the device (Figure 2).
When the switch is in automatic(AUTO) mode, the LED indicator
flashes when the motion is detected.
Installing this device requires experience with residential and com-
mercial wiring practices. Consult local building codes before attempt-
ing to install this device.
Operating Temperature: 68˚F-77˚F

GENERALINFORMATION
Clean outer surface gently with damp cloth only. Do not use soaps or
cleaning liquids.
Do not attempt to service or repair. No user serviceable components.
LOCATION/MOUNTING
Since this device responds to temperature changes, care should
be taken when mounting the device. DO NOT mount directly above a
heat source, in a location where hot or cold drafts will blow directly on
the sensor, or where unintended motion will be within sensor’s field-of-
view.
Precautions
WARNING: TO BE INSTALLED AND/OR USED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH APPROPRIATE ELECTRICAL CODES AND REGULATIONS.
WARNING: IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT ANY PART OF
THESE INSTRUCTIONS, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
CAUTION: USE THIS DEVICE ONLY WITH COPPER OR COP-
PER CLAD WIRE. WITH ALUMINUM WIRE USE ONLY DEVICES
MARKED CO/ALR OR CU/AL.
INSTALLATION
1. WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH, TURN OFF
POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST THAT THE
POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING!
2. Remove existing single-pole switch or dimmer installation, if
applicable.
3. Remove 3/4’’ (1.9 cm) of insulation from each wire. Make sure the
ends of wires are straight.
4. Connect device lead wires per WIRING DIAGRAM as follows: Black
lead to Line (Hot), Red lead to Load wire, White lead to Neutral wire,
Green lead to Ground. Twist strands of each wire tightly. Push
firmly into appropriate wire connector. Screw connectors on
clockwise ensuring that no bare conductor shows below the wire
connectors. Secure each connector with electrical tape.
NOTE:
If wire nut is provided, use to join one 14 AWG supply conductor
with one 16 AWG device control lead.
5. Gently position wires to provide room in wall box for sensor
switch.
6. Mount device “TOP” up.
7. Restore power at circuit breaker or fuse.
8. Locate the adjustment controls on the front of the switch. Proceed to
the “SETTINGS” section.

TIME RANGE LIGHT
PROGRAMMINGFEATURES
Factory settings: The sensor is shipped from the factory to work in
almost all situations without any added adjustments. The factory set-
tings are: time-out 10 minutes; lights always turn ON regardless of
existing light levels; intermediate detection range.
.
-01- -02- -03-

Time Setting: The base time-out value is selected by rotating the
time control dial. Rotate the control fully clockwise (CW), the time- out
will increase. Rotate the control fully counter-clockwise (CCW), the time-
out will decrease.
Ambient Light : The Ambient Light is used to keep the lights OFF if there
is already enough natural light in the room.
NOTE:
The ambient light level in the center of a room will be different from
the level at the wall where the switch is located.
Ambient Light Dial: The ambient light setting is adjusted with the
Ambient Light dial (refer to figure 2). Turning the Light Dial fully
counter-clockwise (CW), lights always turn ON when the motion is
detected, regardless of ambient light. All other settings will cause the
lights to turn ON only when the light level is less than the setting.
NOTE:
When the setting is at the minium CCW level, the lights will stay
OFF when the room is dim. When the setting is at the
maximum level clockwise(CW), the lights will turn ON when the
room is bright.
Range: To decrease detection range and sensitivity, rotate the dial
CCW (refer to figure). The detection range can be adjusted from
100% to 30%.
NOTE:
Do not set the range at the Maximum level, it may cause an error
in operation.
SETTINGS
1. With power restored and wallplate removed, remove control panel
cover. Use a small screw- driver to adjust the light sensitivity and time
setting on the device as follows:
Time Selection:
Adjust the time selector to the desired length of time the lights are to
remain ON. Lights will remain ON from 15 seconds to 30 minutes after
the room is vacated.
Rotate the control fully clockwise (CW). Lights will remain ON up
to 30 minutes.
Rotate the control fully counter-clockwise (CCW). Lights will remain
ON up to 15 seconds.
Range:
To decrease detection range and sensitivity, rotate the control CCW.
To increase detection range and sensitivity, rotate the control CW.
Light level adjustment:
To decrease the light level, rotate the control CCW.
To increase the light level, rotate the control CW.
NOTE:
If the light control is in the fully clockwise position, the lights will
turn ON whenever motion is detected, even in full daylilght. In-
termediate settings will cause the lights to turn ON only when
the ambient light is below the level selected by the light control.
2. Test that the time selection, range and light level adjustment are as
desired. If not, repeat adjustments until satisfied.
3. Replace control panel cover and mount the wallplate.
INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.
TOOPERATE
This device operates in three modes: ON, OFF and AUTO.
ON: Slide switch to the far RIGHT.
OFF: Slide switch to the far LEFT.
AUTO: Switch is at CENTER position.
NOTES:
Allow 1 minute for this device to warm up before using in auto mode.
In AUTO mode, the device will switch lights OFF in an occupied
room if no motion is detected for the selected time delay. If continuous
operation is desired, select the ON position.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Lights do not switch ON when motion is detected:
Push switch to AUTO. LED should flash when motion is detected.
Motion is beyond sensing range, move closer to switch.
Adjust the light level adjustment full CW.
2. Light always stay ON:
Check that switch is in AUTO position.
Make sure no motion is occurring in the coverage area until the time
delay expires.
Check that the switch is not installed near hot air currents and heat
radiating devices, or detecting motion from an adjacent area(e.g., hall-
way traffic). If so, switch may have to be relocated.
3. Lights do not turn ON in AUTO or MANUAL ON modes:
Check that switch is installed correctly.
Check that power is ON.
Check that light bulb is functioning.
If applicable, check that switch on controlled unit is ON.
NOTE:
If problems continue, consult a qualified electrician.
