To test the detection coverage:
During the TEST mode, the controlled load turns ON for 5 seconds each time the Vacancy Sensor Switch
sensor detects occupancy. with Manual
1. Press and hold the ON/OFF button. After 10 seconds the pilot light flashes.
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).
2. Move out of the coverage area or stand very still. The controlled load turns Lens
OFF after 5 seconds, if no motion is detected.
3. Move in the coverage area. The pilot light flashes each time the sensor
detects motion and the controlled load turns ON for 5 seconds.
After 5 seconds expire without motion detection, the load turns OFF.
