Installation Instructions
Please read all instructions before installing
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
RW3U603 Multi-way Wall Switch Vacancy Sensors are designed to replace
standard single pole and multi-way (3-way, 4-way) switches. They are ideal for
any room with multiple entries such as living and dining rooms, family rooms,
bedrooms, bathrooms, hallways, and any other indoor space where vacancy
sensor-based control with manual ON/OFF capability are desirable.
Like standard switches, you can press the ON/OFF button to turn the light
or fan (controlled load) ON and OFF. Unlike standard switches, the RW3U603
automatically turns OFF the controlled load after the coverage area has been
vacant for a period of time (Time Delay). If motion is detected within 30 seconds
after it automatically turns OFF, the RW3U603 automatically turns the load back
ON.
The RW3U603 can be wired with up to three additional RW3U603s for multi-
way Manual ON/OFF of one or several loads (up to one load connected to each
RW3U603). It can also be wired to up to four TM870STM single pole momentary
wall switches for multi-way Manual-ON/OFF Automatic-OFF control of one load.
Lighted Switch
To help you locate the RW3U603 in a dark room, the green LED illuminates the
ON/OFF button while the controlled load is OFF. When the controlled load is ON,
the LED is OFF.
Time Delay
The RW3U603 keeps the load ON until no motion is detected by any of the related
RW3U603s for the time delay period. The time delay can be selected by the user
during set up. It can be adjusted to any of these fixed values:15 seconds/
5 minutes/15 minutes/30 minutes. We recommend that the time delay be the
same in all sensors related to the same load. This makes it easier to understand
the multi-way control operation as well as trouble shooting. For additional
information on how to adjust it, please read the SENSOR ADJUSTMENT section
of this installation manual.

Coverage Area
The RW3U603 has a maximum coverage
range of 180 degrees and a coverage area
of 600 square feet (56 square meters). The
sensor must have a clear and unobstructed
view of the coverage area. Objects blocking
the sensor’s lens may prevent detection
thereby causing the light to turn OFF even
though someone is in the area.
Windows, glass doors, and other transparent barriers will
obstruct the sensor’s view and prevent detection.
INSTALLATION & WIRING
These instructions describe only the 3-way circuit applications. For information
about other applications, consult technical support.
WARNING
Disconnect power to the wall switch box by turning OFF
the circuit breaker or removing the fuse for the circuit before
installing the RW3U603, replacing lamps, or doing any electrical work.
1. Prepare the switch box.
After the power is turned OFF at the circuit breaker box, remove the existing
wall plate and mounting screws. Pull the old switch out from the wall box.
2. Identify the type of circuit.
You may connect the RW3U603 to a single pole or multi-way circuit. If you are
unable to clearly identify some or all of the wires mentioned in this manual,
you should consult with a qualified electrician.
In a 3-way circuit (see Fig. 2), two traveler wires connect to both switches.
Another wire provides power from the circuit box to one of the switches. A wire
connects from one switch to the load. A ground wire may also be connected to
a ground terminal on the old switches. A neutral wire should also be present in
both wall boxes.

CAUTION
For your safety: Connecting a proper ground to the sensor
provides protection against electrical shock in the event of certain
fault conditions. If a proper ground is not available, consult with
a qualified electrician before continuing installation.
3. Prepare the Wires.
Tag the wires currently connected to the existing switch
so that they can be identified later. Disconnect the wires.
Make sure the insulation is stripped off of the wires to
expose their copper cores to the length indicated by the
“Strip Gage,” in Fig. 3. (approx. 1/2 inch).
4. Wire the sensor.
Twist the existing wires together with the wire leads on the RW3U603 sensor(s)
as indicated in either step 4a or 4b. Cap wires securely using wire nuts.

TM870STM momentary wall switches (4 maximum)
5. Put all the new switches into their wall boxes.
Position the RW3U603 switch(es) with the lens above the ON/OFF button (lens
at top, ON/OFF button at bottom). Use the captive screws on the mounting
strap to secure the switches to their wall boxes.
6. Restore power to the circuit.
Turn on the breaker or replace the fuse.
7. Make any necessary adjustments.
See the SENSOR ADJUSTMENT section for information.
8. Attach the new cover plates.
Secure them with the screws provided.

SENSOR ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the RW3U603, you use a control
located under the ON/OFF button. The wall
switch cover plate must be removed to gain
access to the time delay adjustment dial
under the ON/OFF button.
For multi-way operation, the Time
Delay should be the same in all
sensors related to the same load.
1. Firmly grasp the side edges of the
Lock Bar and gently pull it away from
the switch face until it clicks. Do NOT
attempt to pull the Lock Bar off of the
switch!
2. Firmly grasp the side edges of the
ON/OFF button. Slide the button
downward approximately 1/2 inch
to expose the adjustment dial.
Adjusting the Time Delay
Turn the dial counter-clockwise to reduce the amount of time the lights will
remain ON after the last motion detection (minimum = 15 seconds). Turn it
clockwise to increase the time delay (maximum = 30 minutes). You can only
select the following values: 15 seconds/5 minutes/15 minutes/30 minutes.
Warning: Do not overturn the Time Delay adjustment dial!
TEST MODE
To test the detection coverage:
1. Press and hold the ON/OFF button. After 10 seconds the lighted switch turns
off. The load turns ON if it was not already ON. The sensor is now in a TEST
mode that lasts 5 minutes. (You can end the TEST mode sooner by pressing the
ON/OFF button for another 10 seconds).
During the TEST mode, the controlled load turns ON for 5 seconds each
time the sensor that initiated the TEST mode detects occupancy.
2. Move out of the coverage area or stand very still. The controlled load turns OFF
after 5 seconds if no motion is detected.
3. Move into the coverage area for the unit that initiated the TEST mode. The
controlled load turns ON for 5 seconds each time the sensor detects motion.
After 5 seconds expire without motion detection, the load turns OFF. The
controlled load turns ON automatically with the next motion detection and
stays ON for 5 seconds.
4. Repeat as necessary to ensure that the desired coverage areas are within
detection range.
You can do this test for each RW3U603 in your multi-way configuration. So
that you can determine the actual coverage area for each multi-way switch
individually, only the RW3U603 that is in TEST mode will control the load.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Lighted switch is OFF, no load response to ON/OFF button press:
• Makecertainthatthecircuitbreakerisonandfunctioning.
Lighted switch is ON, no load response to ON/OFF button press:
• Checkthelightbulband/ormotorswitchonthefanmechanism.
Load will not turn OFF automatically:
• PressON/OFFbutton.IfthecontrolledloadturnsOFF,gotonextstep.
• Thetimedelaycanbesetfrom15secondsto30minutes.Checkthetimedelay
setting for each RW3U603 in your multi-way configuration. Ensure that all
RW3U603s have the same time delay setting.
• Ensurethatthereisnomovementwithinthecoverageareaforallthesensors
related to the load for the set time delay. Hot air currents and heat radiant
devices can cause false detection. Make sure the sensor is at least 6 feet
(2 meters) away from devices that are a significant heat source (e.g., heater,
heater vent, high wattage light bulb).
If load does not respond properly after following troubleshooting, turn OFF
power to the circuit then check wire connections or call technical support.
