Package Contents

Verify that all components are present before beginning installation:

• Deako Simple Motion Sensor Switch (Model: DS-SM1N-WHWH-UCX)
• Instruction Manual (this document)

Note: A Deako backplate with a neutral wire connection is required and sold separately if not already installed.

Setup and Installation

The Deako Simple Motion Sensor Switch is designed for easy installation, especially if you have an existing Deako backplate. This switch is for single-pole circuits only.

Prerequisites:

• Existing Deako backplate with a neutral wire connection.
• Single-pole circuit (light controlled by one switch).

Installation Steps:

1. Power Off: Ensure the power to the switch location is turned off at the circuit breaker.
2. Remove Original Switch: If replacing an existing Deako switch, gently pull it out from the backplate.
3. Plug-in New Switch: Align the Deako Simple Motion Sensor Switch with the Deako backplate and push it firmly into place until it clicks.
4. Restore Power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.
5. Test Functionality: Verify the switch operates correctly by testing motion detection and manual control.

Operating Instructions

The Deako Simple Motion Sensor Switch offers both automatic motion-activated control and manual override capabilities.

Automatic Operation:

The switch detects motion within its range and automatically turns lights on when motion is detected and off after a set period of no motion. Pets will not trigger the motion sensor.

Manual Override:

You can manually turn the light on or off by pressing the main button on the switch at any time.

Occupancy and Vacancy Modes

The Deako Simple Motion Sensor Switch supports two operational modes:

• Occupancy Mode: In this mode, the lights turn on automatically when motion is detected in the room. They will turn off after a set period of no motion.
• Vacancy Mode: In this mode, you must manually press the switch to turn the lights on. The lights will then turn off automatically after a set period of no motion.

Refer to the product packaging or Deako's official website for instructions on how to switch between these modes, as this functionality is typically configured during initial setup or via a specific button sequence not detailed in the provided product data.

Automatic Timer Settings

The switch features adjustable timer settings for how long the lights remain on after no motion is detected. The available settings are:

• 30 seconds
• 5 minutes
• 20 minutes

These settings determine the delay before the lights turn off automatically. The specific method for adjusting these timer settings is typically found on the device itself or in a more detailed product guide from the manufacturer.

Sensitivity Adjustment

The motion sensor's sensitivity can be adjusted to suit different room sizes and environments:

• Low Sensitivity: Recommended for smaller rooms to prevent unwanted activations.
• High Sensitivity: Suitable for larger rooms to ensure consistent motion detection.

Consult the manufacturer's specific instructions for how to adjust the sensitivity level on your device.

Ideal Locations for Use

The Deako Simple Motion Sensor Switch is particularly useful in areas where hands-free lighting is beneficial:

• Pantries
• Laundry Rooms
• Walk-in Closets
• Garages
• Bathrooms
• Hallways
