Installation Instructions for YM2108T Series

Three-Way 180′) Occupancy and Vacancy Sensor Switch Please read all instructions before installing the YM2108T Series sensor switch.
IMPORTANT: If you have any doubts about your specific wiring configuration or installation requirements, please Consult a licensed electrician.

DESCRIPTION

The YM2108T Series sensor switch is designed to replace a standard light or fan switch. This device can automatically turn lights or a fan on and off by detecting motion from a heat-emitting source such as a person entering an area. The lights or fan will stay on until no motion is detected and the time delay has expired. This product offers optimal coverage for random traffic areas such as hallways, stairways, or large spaces with multiple entries. Use indoors only.

TOOLS NEEDED

You will need an insulated flathead screwdriver, wire strippers, and a small flathead screwdriver to adjust the sensor dials.

COVERAGE AREA

• The sensor must have a clear and unobstructed view of the area. If an object blocks the sensor’s lens, the sensor may not detect motion and may turn the lights or fan off even if someone is in the area. Windows, glass doors, and other transparent barriers will obstruct the sensor’s view and prevent motion detection.
• The coverage area data is measured under the best temperature condition (20 to 25° C), and a higher or lower temperature may not lead to an ideal coverage area (see figures 1 and 2).

1. Insert a small flathead screwdriver into the notch located on the bottom of the cover below the sensor.
2. Gently lift the screwdriver upward to unlatch the cover (see figure 7).

Figure 7: Lift the screwdriver upward to open the cover.

Vacancy: In vacancy mode (manual on/off, auto of ff, press the On/Off button to turn the light or fan on or off like you would a standard switch. The YM2106T Series sensor switch automatically turns off the lights or fan after the time delay.

Note: I n VAC mode, it is closed manually and must be opened manually. If it’s sensed in 30 seconds after the automatic closing, it will still be automatically opened. After 30 seconds. need to manually turn on the switch.

Occupancy: In occupancy mode (auto on, auto off with auto-reset), the lights or fan turn on automatically when the space is occupied. The theYM2108T Series sensor switch automatically turns off the lights or fan after the time delay. If the lights or fan are turned off manually, automatic on is re- enabled when no motion is detected for one minute. This way, the lights or fan will remain off if they were deliberately turned off.

Note: In OCCmode. if the switch is manually turned off, the switch will work after 15 seconds.

Adjust the Time Delay
The Time Delay Dial, labeled as TIME, controls how long the light or fan stays on after no motion is detected. The minimum setting is 15 seconds (fully counterclockwise) and the maximum setting is 30 minutes (fully clockwise). Adjust the setting as desired for your area.

Adjust the Sensitivity Range of the Sensor

• The Sensor Sensitivity Range Dial, labeled as SENSE. lets you adjust the sensor to avoid unwanted motion detection such as hallway traffic.
  

• To decrease sensitivity. tum the setting counterclockwise. To Increase sensitivity, turn the setting clockwise. The sensor’s default setting is 3 (75%). You can adjust it from setting 1 (50%) to setting 5 (100%).

Adjust the Ambient Light Level

The Ambient Light Level Dial, labeled as LIGHT. lets you adjust the sensor to detect whether other light sources (such as sunlight) are enough to light the space without turning on the lights. If you would like the sensor to consider the amount of ambient light in your area, turn the dial counterclockwise. If you would rather not use the ambient light level, leave it on the maximum, default setting (5). This will allow the sensor to turn the light on and off regardless of ambient light.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Lights or Fan Will Not Turn On
Push the On/Off button. The load should turn on. If not:

1. Check the light bulb and/or motor switch on the fan.
2. Turn off the power to the circuit and check the wire connections.

Lights or Fan Will Not Turn ON

• Ensure that no motion is occurring in the coverage area until the set time period.
• Ensure that the sensor is at least 6 ft (2 m) away from devices that are a significant heat source (e.g., heater. heater vent. and high wattage light bulbs). Hot air currents and heat-radiating devices (such as 100W incandescent bulbs) can cause false detection.
• Push the On/Off button to Off. If the lightsor fan do not tum off, turn off power to the circuit and check wire connections.

Lights or Fan Rim ON Too Quickly
The time delay or sensitivity range may be Improperly set. Refer to the adjustment and Programming section.

Lights or Fan Turn on When Movement Is Detected in Adjacent Areas
If the sensor’s location gives it a view of other areas or hallways, the lights will turn on when motion is detected in those areas. Try adjusting the sensitivity range (refer to the Adjustment and Programming section). You may need to move the sensor to another location.

Lights or Fan Turn on When the Area is Unoccupied
The sensor may be mounted too closely to an air conditioning or heating vent. Move the sensor to another location or close the vent.
