Setup and Installation
The PW-200-G sensor is designed for wall mount installation. Ensure power is disconnected before beginning installation.
Installation Steps:
- Safety First: Turn off power at the circuit breaker before attempting any wiring.
- Wiring: Connect the sensor according to the provided wiring diagram (not included in this general manual, refer to product packaging for specific diagrams). Ensure correct voltage connections (120/230/277 VAC).
- Mounting: Securely mount the sensor to the wall using the integrated mounting bracket and screws. Ensure it is positioned to cover the desired detection area effectively.
- Power On: Restore power at the circuit breaker.
- Testing: Verify proper operation by walking through the detection area.
Important: Avoid installing the sensor near heat sources, air vents, or in direct sunlight, as these can interfere with its detection capabilities.
Operating Instructions
The Wattstopper PW-200-G operates by detecting occupancy within its sensing range, automatically controlling connected loads (e.g., lights).
Automatic Operation:
- When occupancy is detected, the sensor will activate the connected load(s).
- After the area becomes vacant, the sensor will maintain the load(s) for a preset time delay before turning them off.
- The sensor's detection signature processing helps prevent false triggers, ensuring reliable operation.
Manual Control (if applicable):
The sensor may include manual override buttons (as suggested by the image with two push buttons). Refer to the specific product wiring diagram and instructions for details on manual control of the dual relays.
Maintenance
The Wattstopper PW-200-G Occupancy Sensor requires minimal maintenance to ensure optimal performance.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the sensor lens and housing with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Annually inspect the sensor for any visible damage or loose connections.
- Environment: Ensure the operating environment remains within specified temperature and humidity ranges.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your Wattstopper PW-200-G Occupancy Sensor, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on with occupancy. | No power to sensor; incorrect wiring; sensor lens obstructed; sensor sensitivity too low. | Check circuit breaker; verify wiring connections; clear obstructions from lens; adjust sensitivity (if adjustable). |
| Lights turn off too quickly or too slowly. | Time delay setting incorrect. | Adjust the time delay setting (refer to specific product instructions for adjustment methods). |
| Lights turn on without occupancy (false triggers). | Heat sources or air currents in detection area; sensor sensitivity too high. | Relocate sensor away from heat/air sources; reduce sensitivity (if adjustable); ensure proper mounting. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, contact a qualified electrician or Watt Stopper customer support.
