MAGNUM FIRST M9-ILS2 Integrated Rocker Switch Installation Guide

MAGNUM FIRST M9-ILS2 Integrated Rocker Switch

Product Information: Integrated Rocker Switch M9-ILS2

The Mx-ILS2 Rocker Switch is wireless communication (902 MHz) switch that provides remote control of the lighting. The switch has a relay that turns the load ON when the top button is pressed and OFF when the bottom button is pressed. An indicator LED blinks Red when a message is received from a learned wireless device such as an occupancy sensor or remote switch. The switch can learn devices directly through the Programming Mode Selection Menu or via the airConfig Tool. It has a reception range of 100-150 ft. which varies depending on the environment and transmission device. The Mx-ILS2 switch comes with three color options and includes a white frame attached. The color of the frame can be changed by following the instructions provided in the user manual. The switch can be used in Auto-ON / Auto-OFF mode which can be enabled using the dip switches. The product comes from the factory in Manual-ON/Auto- OFF mode. The walk-through mode can be used only in Auto-ON mode and is recommended only when wireless occupancy sensors with batteries have been installed. Timeout options include 2 (test), 10, 20, and 30 minutes.

Description

The Mx-ILS2 Rocker Switch is designed to use wireless communication (902 MHz) and provide remote control of your lighting. The relay will turn the load ON when the top button is pressed and OFF when the bottom button is pressed. The Indicator LED will blink Red when a message is received from a learned wireless device such as an occupancy sensor or remote switch. NOTE: The no- neutral version of the WSS20 has a minimum load requirement of 25 watts. Devices can be learned directly into the Mx-ILS2 via the Programming Mode Selection Menu or via the airConfig Tool. The Mx-ILS2 rocker switch has a 100-150 ft. reception range depending upon the environment and transmission device. The range will be reduced by signals having to transmit through walls. Transmit range for Mx-ILS2, when utilized as a repeater or for initial setup/ commissioning is approximately 50ft.

Features

• Able to switch single load ON/OFF remotely
• Scene Capable

Installation

Changing the color of your ILS2

Your ILS2 switch includes three color options. The ILS2 switch ships with the white frame attached. To change the color of the frame, proceed as follows:

INSTALLING YOUR ILS2 SWITCH

Step 1: WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE SHOCK OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER at the circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is off before wiring!
Step 2: Identifying your wiring application (most common):
NOTE: If the wiring in your wall box does not resemble this configuration, consult an electrician.

Step 3: Single Pole Wiring Application.

• ILS2 Receiver Control Switch is only intended as a Single Pole device.
  Multiple Location Wiring Application:

• The wireless remote switch can be used for additional switches (3-way and 4-way), no wires are necessary. Wiring Switch:
  Connect wires per WIRING DIAGRAM below as follows:

• Connect (Hot) wire from the wall box to the black wire on the switch.

• Connect (Load) wire in the wall box to the blue wire on the switch.

• Connect the (Neutral) wire in the wall box to the white wire on the switch. (NOTE: For the No Neutral model, white wire will not be available (Figure 2).

Step 4: Dip Switch Settings:
NOTE: Dip switch settings, the switch frame, and the paddle will need to be removed. Refer back to the “Changing the color of your ILS2 switch” section for removal instructions of the switch frame. This can only be done with the wall plate removed.

Product Installation Guide

Auto-ON / Auto-OFF mode: Auto mode can be enabled using the dip switches, the product comes from the factory in Manual-ON/Auto-OFF. Walk-through: Can be used only in Auto-ON mode. It is recommended to only use this setting when wireless occupancy sensors with batteries have been installed. Timeout: 2 (test), 10, 20, 30min; (Longer time delay is recommended for continuous self- powering of the occupancy sensor and to ensure packets are sent to the WSS20 receiver switch.

Step 5: Testing your ILS2 prior to mounting in the wall box:

• Position all wires to provide room in the outlet wall box for the device.
• Ensure that the locator LED is facing up on the device.
• Partially screw in mounting screws in wall box mounting holes.

NOTE: Dress wires with a bend as shown in the diagram in order to relieve stress when mounting ILS2.

• Restore power at the circuit breaker or fuse.
• Press the pad at the TOP until the locator LED is OFF. Lights should turn ON.
• If lights do not turn ON, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section.

Step 6: Switch Mounting:
TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE:

Tighten mounting screws to secure the device to the wall box.

Step 7: Wall Plate Mounting:
Place a plastic/nylon wallplate over the device and secure in place with the screws provided.
Note: Usage of a metal wall plate may result in a reduction or loss of receiving range for the ILS2 wall switch.
Step 8: Restore Power:
Restore power at the circuit breaker or fuse.
Installation is complete.

General Operation

The locator LED will illuminate GREEN when the load is in the OFF position to facilitate access in the dark.
Push Pad (Default settings)

• Turn ON from OFF position: Push the top of the switch.
• Turn OFF from ON position: Push the bottom of the switch.
• Cleaning: Clean with a damp cloth. DO NOT use chemical cleaners.

If there is a power outage, when the power is restored, the lights will return to the last known state so long as
the device was in that state for 30 seconds or more.
INSTALLING AIR CONFIG SOFTWARE (OPTIONAL)
Please refer to the Magnum AirConfig tool available at http://download .magnum-innovations.net.

Programming Instructions:
All devices are learned in a “reduced sensitivity” mode to avoid interference from other devices that may be active in areas close by. This reduction of sensitivity reduces the range so devices learned to the ILS2 Rocker Switch should be within 10 ft when learning.

Factory settings:
ILS2: Manual ON/Auto OFF, Walk Through mode OFF (disabled), Occupancy Time-Out delay = 20min, Key Card/Momentary Time-Out delay = 0s, Repeater = disabled.

Factory setting operation
When entering the room, the wireless receiver control switch will need to be manually turned ON. Once learned into the receiver switch, the Wireless occupancy sensor will send messages to the receiver switch, keeping the lights on until the room is vacant. Once the occupancy sensor stops sending messages and the receiver time-out period expires the lights will turn OFF.

Time-Outs:
When used with an occupancy sensor the ILS2 has four time-out settings: 2 (test), 10, 20, or 30 min. (a longer timeout is recommended when using self- powered devices in dark spaces). The time-out duration is user selected through the use of the Dip Switch Settings. NOTE: Since the sensor is only sending a message every one to two minutes, the 2-minute time delay is not sufficient for normal operation.

Walk-Through Time Delay:
The walk-through feature is only active in the Auto-ON/Auto-OFF mode with time delay > 2 minutes. This feature is useful when a room is momentarily occupied. When enabled, the ILS2 will turn the lights OFF shortly after the person leaves the room. The walk-through feature works in the following manner: When a person enters the room, the lights will turn ON. If the person leaves the room before the walk-through time-out of 2.5 minutes, the Sensor will turn the lights OFF within 2.5 minutes of no occupancy detected. If the room is occupied for longer than 2.5 minutes, the Sensor will enter the Occupied Mode with the time-out duration specified by the Dip Switch settings.
