MORE SCENES
Up to 15 scenes are available per room. Each room level controller can access
a set of 5 scenes. The PSWCR is assigned to scenes 1-5 when shipped.
Changing to scene set 6-10 lets you record 5 more scenes; changing to scene
set 11-15 lets you record another 5 scenes. Binding three room level controllers
(PSWRR or PSWCR) to the room and assigning each to a different scene set,
lets you dedicate a controller to each scene set. You can bind more room scene
controllers to the room to control the same scenes from multiple locations.
All room scene controllers that have the same scene set assignment operate
the 5 scenes in the same way as all other room scene controllers programmed
for the same set. Scene buttons on controllers with scene sets 6-10 and 11-15
default to 0%/All room devices OFF. Use ROOM BINDING and CUSTOMIZING

TROUBLESHOOTING
During house ID binding, the LED is not flashing on some 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 “I made a configuration mistake. I need to start
over.”
• If LED is solid yellow after initiating House ID binding:
The device may be out of range of the initiating device. Add a PSWO
Wireless Repeater to boost signal range.
During binding or customizing, all LEDs stop flashing before I press .
The 5 minute binding process timer may have expired. Restart the timer by
repeating steps 1 and 2 of the procedure you were using. Notice that the
devices you previously excluded are flashing green; those included are
flashing yellow; simply finish the process from where you left off.
The device LED flashes red when I press .
The house or room configuration may be locked.
Go to any house level scene controller and simultaneously press and
buttons B and E until the scene controller LED flashes GREEN.
Go back to the previously locked device and press .
• If it flashes green or yellow, you have unlocked the house configuration.
• If the device still flashes red, the configuration may be locked
by a room level scene controller such as the PSWCR or PSWRR.

UNIT DESCRIPTION
The LightSense™ PSWCR Wireless Room Scene Controller is a room level
scene controller. It provides instant recall of five user-recorded lighting scenes
(or presets) assigned to a room or designated area. It also provides off and on
functions and overall control of the roomʼs light level.
The PSWCR can be identified by the icon on its front, which
resembles the outline of a door leading to a room.
The LightSense wireless room scene controller works as part of a
LightSense wireless system. It can control a variety of LightSense wireless
devices including dimmers, switches, plug-in appliance modules and plug-in
lamp modules.
You can control up to fifteen scenes in the room (see MORE SCENES section).
You can install additional room scene controllers or PSWRR room scene
remotes to control those scenes from multiple locations.
Note: To control the entire house, use a LightSense wireless house scene
controller (a wall mounted PSWCH or a handheld PSWRH remote).
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. They 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.
Application Assistance
The LightSense Installation Guide provides more information about configuring
scenes. Instructions for installation and use are included with the relevant
LightSense wireless devices. Application support information and the
LightSense Installation Guide are available at the Pass & Seymour/Legrand
website, www.passandseymour.com.

SET HOUSE ID
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 an PSWCR to an Existing Installation
If youʼre adding or replacing a PSWCR in a LightSense wireless installation that
is already operating, the new PSWCR must acquire the same House ID as the
other LightSense wireless devices in the house. After the new PSWCR 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 PSWCR 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
paddle until the
LED changes
(about 2 seconds).
When you see in
the instructions,
touch the top of the
paddle as directed.
When you see in
the instructions, touch
the bottom of the
paddle as directed.

ROOM BINDING
After the House ID is set in the PSWCR, you create a room by binding devices
to the PSWCR. You can also add the PSWCR to an existing room. When a
new PSWCR is added to a room, its scene buttons execute the same scenes
as other room scene controllers with the same scene set assignment (see
MORE SCENES). Paddle functions are the same at every room scene
controller that is bound to the same room, regardless of scene set assignment.
IMPORTANT: If you are planning to use Groups in the room, you should bind
those devices together before beginning the room binding process. Group
binding instructions are provided with individual devices.
Binding a New Room
1. With all devices installed and energized, make sure that every LightSense™
wireless device LED in the room is green.
2. Press on the PSWCR until its LED flashes yellow (about 2 seconds).
You now have 5 minutes to complete this process.
3. To include or exclude a device press on the device until the LED
changes color. Yellow flashing LED = Included in room
Green flashing LED = NOT included in room
If you get to a device and it is NOT flashing, see TROUBLESHOOTING.
4. Return to the PSWCR used in step 2. Press for about 2 seconds – the
status LED stops flashing, then all the status LEDs in the house turn green.
Adding an PSWCR to an Existing Room
If youʼre adding an PSWCR in a room where room level scene control is
already operating, the new PSWCR must first acquire the House ID (see
Adding an PSWCR to an Existing Installation). Then it must be bound to the
existing room as follows:
1. Press on any previously bound PSWCR room controller or PSWRR
room remote in the room until the LED flashes yellow (about 2 seconds).
2. Verify that the new PSWCR LED is flashing green. All other devices included
in the room are flashing yellow. Press on the new PSWCR until its LED
changes color. Yellow flashing LED = Included in room
Green flashing LED = NOT included in room
3. Return to the same previously bound PSWCR used in step 1 and press
until the LED changes to solid green (about 2 seconds). All device LEDs
should be solid green.

STANDARD OPERATION
The PSWCR is shipped with most functions preprogrammed for ease of
installation and initial use. This section summarizes the default operation of the
PSWCR. To make changes from this standard operation, such as changing
light levels and including or excluding devices from specific scenes, see
CUSTOMIZING OPERATION.
Paddle Functions
Use the rocker paddle to begin and end binding functions. It also functions as
an On/Off switch and a master light level Raise/Lower control for the room. All
devices bound to the same room as the PSWCR are included in the paddle
operation (except fan controls).
Scene Button Functions
The smaller buttons, labeled A–E in the illustrations, are used to record and
recall scenes. Labels are provided so that you can name these buttons to suit
your application. All devices bound to the same room as the PSWCR are
included in each scene button (except fan controls).
The following illustration shows the default operation for scene set 1-5.
NOTES:
1Pressing and holding the paddle does not affect the operation of switched
devices. They will maintain their present state.
2If the lights were turned off using the default E scene button or any
customized scene button programmed for 0%/ALL OFF, pressing and
holding will not raise the light level. It will raise the light level if the lights
were turned off by tapping .
3Scene buttons on PSWCR controllers with scene set 6-10 or 11-15 are
preprogrammed to turn off all room devices.
