5. Installation Guide

Before You Begin: Ensure the power supply to the circuit is turned OFF at the main circuit breaker. Verify that both live and neutral wires are available at the installation location.

Wiring Instructions:

1. Identify the Live (L) and Neutral (N) wires from your power supply.
2. Connect the incoming Live wire to the terminal marked L IN on the switch.
3. Connect the incoming Neutral wire to the terminal marked N IN on the switch.
4. Connect the Live wire leading to your light fixture (or appliance) to the terminal marked L OUT on the switch.
5. Connect the Neutral wire leading to your light fixture (or appliance) to the terminal marked N OUT on the switch.

Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated. The switch is compatible with both square and circular bottom boxes.

6. Operating Instructions

The Cerhot Infrared Motion Sensor Light Switch operates on a simple touchless principle. Once installed and powered, it is ready for use.

Basic Operation:

• To turn the light ON or OFF, simply wave your hand within 10 centimeters (approximately 4 inches) of the sensor area on the switch panel.
• The infrared sensor will detect the movement and toggle the connected light's state.

Recommended Applications:

This touchless switch is particularly beneficial in environments where hygiene and convenience are paramount:

• Kitchens: Avoid touching the switch with oily or dirty hands.
• Bathrooms/Toilets: Minimize contact with potentially unclean surfaces.
• Entryways: Prevent bringing outside contaminants into the home.
• Bedrooms: Easily turn lights on/off in the dark without needing to precisely locate a physical switch.
• Hospitals & Schools: Reduce the spread of bacteria through touchless operation.
