Key Features
- Hands-Free Operation: Detects presence to automatically activate lights, eliminating the need for manual switching.
- Neutral Wire Required: Ensures stable performance; designed for single-pole installations only, not for 3-way circuits.
- Occupancy (OCC) & Vacancy (VAC) Modes:
- OCC Mode: Lights turn on automatically with motion and off when the space is unoccupied.
- VAC Mode: Requires manual activation, then turns off automatically when no motion is detected.
- Customizable Settings: Adjustable time delays, sensitivity, and ambient light level sensing for tailored control.
- High Quality & Compliance: UL Certified, FCC Listed, and California Title 24 Compliant.
- Broad Compatibility: Works with 300W LED, 300W CFL, and 600W incandescent light bulbs.

Installation Guide
WARNING: Installation should only be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical codes. Always turn off power at the circuit breaker before installation.
The ECOELER Motion Sensor Light Switch (Model YM2108) requires a neutral wire for proper operation. It is designed for single-pole applications only and is not compatible with 3-way circuits.
Wiring Instructions:
- Turn off power at the circuit breaker.
- Remove the existing wall plate and switch.
- Identify the wires in your electrical box: Hot (Black), Load (Red), Neutral (White), and Ground (Green or bare copper).
- Connect the wires from the ECOELER switch to your house wiring according to the diagram below. Use the provided terminal caps to secure connections.
- Carefully push the wired switch into the electrical box.
- Attach the wall plate.
- Restore power at the circuit breaker.

Operation
The ECOELER Motion Sensor Light Switch offers two primary operation modes and several customizable settings to suit your specific needs.
Operation Modes:
- Occupancy Mode (OCC): In this mode, the lights will automatically turn ON when motion is detected and automatically turn OFF after a set delay when no motion is detected. This is ideal for high-traffic areas where automatic lighting is desired.
- Vacancy Mode (VAC): In this mode, the lights must be turned ON manually. They will then automatically turn OFF after a set delay when no motion is detected. This mode is suitable for areas where manual control for turning on the light is preferred, but automatic turn-off is desired for energy saving.

Customizable Settings:
The switch features three adjustable dials to fine-tune its performance:
- TIME (Adjustable Delay Time): Sets how long the lights remain ON after the last detected motion. Adjustable from 15 seconds (TEST) to 30 minutes.
- SENSE (Sensor Sensitivity Range): Adjusts the detection range of the motion sensor. Settings range from 1 (approx. 6.56 ft) to 5 (approx. 29.52 ft).
- LIGHT (Ambient Light Level): Determines the ambient light level at which the sensor will activate the lights. Settings range from 1 (5 lux) to 5 (all day, meaning it will activate regardless of ambient light).

Maintenance
The ECOELER Motion Sensor Light Switch requires minimal maintenance. Periodically, gently wipe the sensor lens and switch surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or debris that may interfere with sensor performance. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your ECOELER Motion Sensor Light Switch, consider the following:
- Lights not turning on/off automatically: Verify the selected operation mode (OCC/VAC) and adjust the 'SENSE' (sensitivity) and 'LIGHT' (ambient light level) settings. Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the sensor's field of view.
- Lights turning off too quickly or staying on too long: Adjust the 'TIME' dial to increase or decrease the delay time.
- Lights not turning on at all: Check the circuit breaker to ensure power is supplied to the switch. Confirm that the wiring connections are secure and correct, especially the neutral wire. Test the connected light bulb to ensure it is functional.
