SADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION
WHEN ADJUSTING THE TIME DELAY OR WHEN SWITCH IS UNSECURED,
YOU SHOULD TURN OFF POWER TO THE SWITCH AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
To test and adjust the unit:
-
With a Philips screwdriver, turn time delay trumpet (see diagram) to minimum (all the way counterclockwise).
-
Temporarily secure the switch to the wall box.
-
Turn on power to the switch at circuit breaker and allow a one minute warm-up.
Note: Whenever the main power is restored to the switch, such as when turning on the circuit breaker, the occupancy sensor charges and may take up to a minute to function properly. -
Test the unit by pushing the Auto/Off button to the auto position to turn lights on. Leave the room and lights should go off after 30 seconds.
-
Adjust the time delay trumpet to desired setting, between 30 seconds to 30 minutes (clockwise increases time). For most applications, about 10 minutes is recommended.
-
Align wide holes on attached metal bracket with holes in wall box and secure switch with screws provided.
-
Install cover plate to switch assembly with provided screws.
-
Push the Auto/Off button to the auto position to turn lights on.

Lights will not turn off:
- Depending on the time delay setting, there can be up to a 30 minute time delay after the last occupancy motion is detected.
- To test if unit is operating properly, set time delay to minimum and move out of the sensor’s view. Lights should turn off after 30 seconds.
- For technical support call 1(800)879-8585.
Sensing motion outside detection areas:
• Opaque adhesive tape is included with the sensor and can be used to limit the detection areas. See “Masking the lens”.
IMPORTANT: Rapid successive pressing of the Auto/Off button will cause a delay in proper function.

WARRANTY INFORMATION
The Watt Stopper® , Inc. warranties its products to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of five years. There are no obligations or liabilities on the part of The Watt Stopper, Inc. for consequential damages arising out of or in connection with the use or performance of this product or other indirect damages with respect to loss of property, revenue, or profit, or cost of removal, installation or reinstallation.
UNIT DESCRIPTION
The Watt Stopper’s WD-170 and WD-180 are dimmable passive infrared wall
switches that turn lighting systems on and off based on occupancy in the
controlled area. A dimming slider adjusts the light level from minimum to
maximum.
The switches work with the Advance ® Mark X™ or Philips Ecotone ® electronic
dimming ballasts (ballasts that have line voltage forward phase-cut dimming
control). The WD-170 also works with incandescent fixtures.
The sensors feature a hard vandal resistant lens which allows them to be used
in a wide range of applications, including public spaces.
OPERATION
The WD-170 and WD-180 sensors turn lights on when a person enters the
controlled area. Lights turn on to the level set with the dimming slider. The
dimming slider does not turn the lights off, it allows users to increase or
decrease the light level.
The lights remain on while the space is occupied. When the space is vacated
and the adjustable time delay of 30 seconds to 30 minutes (set during
installation) elapses, the lights turn off.
The lights can be manually turned off at any time by pressing the Auto/Off
button.
COVERAGE PATTERNS
The WD-170 and WD-180 will cover up to 300 sq. ft. The recommended coverage
for typical desktop activity is 150 sq ft. The sensor has a two-tiered, multi-
cell viewing Fresnel lens with a 180° field of view.
Masking the lens
Opaque adhesive tape is supplied so that sections of the sensor’s view can be
masked. This allows you to eliminate coverage in unwanted areas. Since masking
removes bands of coverage, remember to take this into account when trouble-
shooting coverage problems.
INSTALLATION
The WD-170 and WD-180 switches can be connected to single or multiple loads, up to 500 watts maximum.
CAUTION
TURN POWER OFF AT CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE WIRING SWITCHES.
ALWAYS FOLLOW PROPER PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH OR NEAR HIGH VOLTAGE.
- Make sure that power has been turned off at circuit breaker.
- Connect leads to sensor with UL listed wire connectors (BLACK to line, GREEN to ground, RED to load).
- Do not attach switch to wall box at this time. See “Adjustments”.
WARNING
THE GROUND MUST BE TIGHTLY SECURED OR THE SENSOR WILL NOT WORK!
