4. Setup and Installation
This remote switch is intended for use in conjunction with a Lightolier ITS2U Occupancy Sensor Switch in a 3-way wiring configuration. Refer to the ITS2U Occupancy Sensor Switch manual for detailed wiring diagrams and complete installation instructions for the primary sensor.
- Step 1: Power Disconnection. Locate the circuit breaker or fuse box that controls the power to the switch location. Turn off the power completely to prevent electrical shock. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
- Step 2: Wiring Identification. Carefully remove the existing switch (if any) from the wall box. Identify the line (hot), load, traveler, and ground wires. The ITSRB3W requires a ground connection.
- Step 3: Wiring Connections. Connect the wires from the wall box to the ITSRB3W remote switch terminals. Ensure all connections are secure and made according to the wiring diagram provided with your ITS2U Occupancy Sensor Switch. This is a 3-way remote, so ensure proper traveler wire connections between the ITSRB3W and the ITS2U sensor.
- Step 4: Mounting. Gently push the wired ITSRB3W switch into the wall box. Secure the switch to the wall box using the provided mounting screws. Attach the decorator-style faceplate.
- Step 5: Power Restoration. Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power at the circuit breaker. Test the functionality of the remote switch in conjunction with the ITS2U sensor.
5. Operating Instructions
The Lightolier ITSRB3W functions as a remote ON/OFF control for the connected ITS2U Occupancy Sensor Switch. It does not contain its own occupancy sensing capabilities.
- To turn the connected lights ON, press the top portion of the rocker switch.
- To turn the connected lights OFF, press the bottom portion of the rocker switch.
The primary occupancy sensing, time delay, and sensitivity settings are controlled by the main ITS2U Occupancy Sensor Switch. Refer to the ITS2U manual for adjustments to these functions.
6. Maintenance
The Lightolier ITSRB3W remote switch requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Clean the faceplate and switch surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Connection Check: Periodically, or if experiencing intermittent operation, ensure all wiring connections are tight and secure. Always turn off power at the circuit breaker before checking connections.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn ON/OFF from the ITSRB3W remote switch. | No power to the circuit. Loose or incorrect wiring connections. Main ITS2U Occupancy Sensor Switch malfunction. | Check power at the circuit breaker and ensure it is ON. Turn off power, then verify all wiring connections (line, load, ground, traveler) are secure and correct according to the ITS2U manual. Refer to the troubleshooting section of the ITS2U Occupancy Sensor Switch manual. |
| Intermittent operation or unreliable control. | Loose wiring connections. Interference (if Wi-Fi connectivity is active). | Turn off power, then check and tighten all wiring connections. Ensure the remote switch is within range of the main sensor or Wi-Fi network if applicable. Consult the ITS2U manual for specific pairing or connectivity instructions. |
