3. Operating Instructions

The WSXA Wall Switch Sensor utilizes Passive Infrared (PIR) technology for occupancy detection. It can be configured for either Auto-On (default) or Vacancy mode.

  • Auto-On (Default): In this mode, lights will automatically turn on when motion is detected and turn off after a set delay when the space becomes vacant.
  • Vacancy Mode: In vacancy mode, lights must be manually turned on, but will automatically turn off after a set delay when the space becomes vacant. This mode is often used for energy code compliance.
  • The sensor provides small motion detection up to 20 ft (6.10 m) and large motion detection up to 35 ft (10.70 m).

For detailed operational settings and adjustments, please refer to the Instructions for Use (IFU) (PDF).

4. Care and Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Lithonia Lighting WSXA Wall Switch Sensor, follow these simple care guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the surface of the sensor with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
  • Environment: Ensure the sensor is installed in an environment within its specified operating temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid exposing the device to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
  • Obstructions: Keep the sensor lens clear of any obstructions (e.g., furniture, decorations) that might block its field of view and affect motion detection.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your WSXA Wall Switch Sensor, please consult the official Troubleshooting Guide for detailed solutions. Here are some common considerations:

  • No Power/Light Not Responding: Verify that the circuit breaker is on and that the wiring connections are secure. The device has mis-wire protection, but incorrect wiring can still prevent operation.
  • Sensor Not Detecting Motion: Check for any obstructions blocking the sensor's view. Ensure the sensor is installed at the recommended height and location for optimal coverage.
  • Lights Turning On/Off Unexpectedly: Adjust the sensitivity settings if available (refer to IFU). Ensure there are no heat sources or air currents (e.g., HVAC vents) directly in the sensor's field of view that could cause false triggers.
