11. TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptom Resolution
Sensor won’t link to
responders Move a dual-band INSTEON device (e.g.,
Access Point) closer to the Motion Sensor.
Sensor won’t
control linked
responders a) Make sure LED flashes to confirm it has
power and is sensing motion.
b) Sensor is in night-only mode (and it is “day”).
c) Move a dual-band INSTEON device (e.g.,
Access Point) closer to the Motion Sensor.
d) Sensor is in its one-minute “off” countdown.
LED flashing rapidly
after motion is
detected Sensor did not receive an acknowledgement
from one or more linked devices. If this occurs
repeatedly you may need to move a dual-band
INSTEON device closer to the Sensor or you
may need to unlink a device which is no longer
in use in your home. If the INSTEON
responders are no longer available, you may
either use a software application or perform a
factory reset to remove the unwanted links.
LED not flashing
upon motion a) You may need to wait up to 8 seconds to
see the flash.
b) Battery may need to be replaced.
Not sensing motion a) Light detected and unit is in night-only mode.
b) Motion Sensor aimed too low.
c) Temperature too high or low (sensor needs
to be able to distinguish between what is
being sensed and its surroundings).
d) See LOCATION TIPS section.
LED is double-
flashing upon
motion Low battery warning: replace with fresh battery.

12. REMOVE CONTROL OF INSTEON
UNLINKING FROM INSTEON RESPONDERS
1. Press and hold the Set button on Motion Sensor for 5 seconds u
red LED behind sensor lens begins blinking) and release. ( nt
2. Press and hold the Set button on Motion Sensor for an another 5
seconds (until the LED changes its blink pattern to a slow blink
where it is on longer than off).

3. Press and hold the Set button on the INSTEON Responder you
would like to unlink (until its LED blinks).
4. The Motion Sensor LED will stop blinking (if not, repeat step 3).
5. Test by tapping the Set button on Motion Sensor. Taps should no
longer control the unlinked device.

RETURN UNIT TO FACTORY SETTINGS
1. If possible, unlink from all Responders before proceeding.
2. Remove battery.
3. Wait 15 seconds.
4. While pressing and holding the Set button, reinstall the battery. Do
not let go of the Set button.
5. Motion Sensor will emit a long beep. Continue pressing and holding
the Set button until beep stops, then release.

10. ADJUST MODES
ADJUST DIALS
Left Dial – Adjust Automatic OFF Countdown
Using a small Phillips screwdriver, adjust the time duration that Motion
Sensor will wait to send an OFF command after the last motion sensed.
Turning the dial all the way counterclockwise sets the countdown to 30
seconds; turning it all the way clockwise sets it to 2 hours. Anywhere in
between results in a proportional difference between 30 seconds and 2
hours.
Right Dial – Day/Night Threshold
Using a small Phillips screwdriver, adjust the day/night threshold to
desired light level: turning the dial clockwise increases the light level, and
counterclockwise decreases the light level. For example, turning the dial
all the way to the right clockwise will make Motion Sensor read “night” no
matter how bright it is. Likewise, turning the dial all the way to the left
counterclockwise will make Motion Sensor read “day” no matter how dark
it is. Turning the dial anywhere in between will adjust the specific light
level Motion Sensor uses to determine “night” and “day.” To test, set
Motion Sensor to Night-Only mode (see Jumper 3 above) and tap the Set
button 7 times. If it reads the current light level as “Night,” it will turn on its
linked responders on first sensed motion. If it reads “Day,” the LED will
flash on first motion, but it will not turn on its linked responders.
9. SETUP MODES (OPTIONAL)
and ac
umper
tivate motion to establish the new setting.
J 2 – Disable LED
If you wish to disable the LED (it will still operate during setup), install
Jumper 2 on both pins. Tap the Set button once, wait 10 seconds and
activate motion to establish the new setting.
Jumper 3 – Night-Only Mode
If you wish to have the Sensor operate only when dark, install Jumper 3
on both pins. Tap the Set button once, wait 10 seconds and activate
motion to establish the new setting. Note: it takes 3.5 minutes (or seven
Set button taps) to detect the difference between day and night. (See
Day/Night Threshold in ADJUST MODES below for details.)
Jumper 4 – On-Only Mode
If you wish to disable the automatic “Off” countdown, install Jumper 4 on
both pins and the Motion Sensor will only send “On.” Tap the Set button
once, wait 10 seconds and activate motion to establish the new setting.
Jumper 5 – Remote (Software) Management
If you wish to manage all of Motion Sensor’s settings via INSTEON
software (such as HouseLinc 2), install Jumper 5 on both pins. Then,
press and hold the Set button on Motion Sensor to put the unit in linking
mode and allow the INSTEON software to access its settings.

SET JUMPERS
Jumpers are small plastic
“boxes” that act as a switch.
When installed on two pins,
the switch is “on.” When
installed on one pin (or
missing), the switch is “off”.
Jumper 1 – Sensitivity
To reduce Sensor’s
detection range (by
approximately 33%),
carefully remove Jumper 1
(the left-most Jumper) from
the single pin on which it is
installed using a pair of
needle-nose pliers. Reinstall
it on both pins. Tap the Set
button once, wait 10
seconds
