4. Installation
Before beginning installation, ensure power is disconnected at the circuit breaker.
4.1 Mounting Options
The SWX-222-1 sensor can be mounted directly to a ceiling surface or to a junction box. The maximum recommended mounting height is 15 feet for optimal coverage.
Figure 4.1: Detailed installation options for the SENSORWORX SWX-222-1. This diagram illustrates direct ceiling mounting, mounting to a 4" octagon box, and a single gang mudring, along with dimensions and components like the chase nipple and lock nut.
4.2 Wiring
The sensor operates on 12-24 VAC/VDC. Connect the sensor's wire leads according to the wiring diagram provided with the product and local electrical codes. Ensure proper polarity for DC connections.
- Connect the power supply to the designated power input wires.
- Connect the output wires to the controlled load (e.g., lighting relay).
5. Setup and Configuration
The SWX-222-1 sensor typically requires minimal setup due to its advanced auto-calibration features. However, some adjustments may be possible via the programming button or external control systems if applicable.
5.1 Initial Power-Up
After installation and wiring are complete, restore power to the circuit. The sensor will undergo a brief initialization period. During this time, avoid motion in the detection area.
5.2 Sensitivity Adjustment (if applicable)
Refer to the specific product documentation or the programming button diagram (Figure 4.1) for details on adjusting PIR or acoustic sensitivity, if this feature is available on your model. Typically, the sensor is optimized for most environments.
6. Operating Instructions
The SENSORWORX SWX-222-1 operates automatically to detect occupancy and control connected loads.
6.1 Occupancy Detection
When motion is detected within the sensor's coverage area (up to 2000 sq ft), the sensor will activate its output, typically turning on lights or other connected devices. The dual PIR and Acoustic technology ensures reliable detection even for minor movements.
6.2 Vacancy Mode
After the last detected motion, the sensor will initiate a time delay. If no further motion is detected during this period, the sensor will deactivate its output, turning off the connected load. This feature helps conserve energy.
6.3 Coverage Area
The sensor provides optimal coverage for large areas up to 2000 sq ft when mounted at a maximum height of 15 ft. Ensure the detection area is free from obstructions that could block the sensor's line of sight.
7. Maintenance
The SENSORWORX SWX-222-1 is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. However, periodic checks can ensure optimal performance.
7.1 Cleaning
If the sensor lens appears dusty or dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the lens or housing.
7.2 Environmental Considerations
Ensure the sensor is not exposed to direct sunlight, strong drafts, or rapid temperature changes, as these can affect its performance. Avoid placing heat-generating equipment directly beneath the sensor.
8. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your SENSORWORX SWX-222-1 sensor, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Sensor not detecting motion | No power; Obstruction in detection area; Incorrect wiring; Sensor malfunction. | Check power supply; Remove obstructions; Verify wiring connections; Contact support if issues persist. |
| Lights turn on/off unexpectedly | False triggers from HVAC, drafts, or reflections; Incorrect sensitivity settings. | Identify and mitigate sources of false triggers; Adjust sensitivity if possible (refer to setup section). |
| Sensor constantly detects motion | Constant motion in area; Sensor malfunction. | Ensure area is clear of constant motion; Contact support. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact SENSORWORX customer support.
