Ambient Light Detect (ALD) – When in this setting, the Sensing Switch turns each "Auto-ON" (Occupancy) circuit on upon
initial occupancy to the room only if there is NOT enough ambient light. The sensor will
learn your preferred light level over time, through your interactions with the Tap button, and
eventually will only turn the lights on, when motion is detected and there is not enough light
in the room. This setting is known as “Ambient Light Detect” mode. For more details on
ALD mode, see section "Ambient Light Detect (ALD) – How it Works" on page 11.
Auto-ON / Auto-OFF (Occupancy Mode) – This is the default setting for Circuit 1 of your sensor. The sensor automatically
turns on when you enter the room, and turns off when you vacate the room.
This settiing is also known as “Occupancy” mode.
Default Settings – Original preset programming options that the Sensing Switch is programmed to upon initial use.
Load – The light bulb(s) or fan(s) that the Sensing Switch is controlling.
Manual-ON / Auto OFF (Vacancy Mode) – This is the default setting for Circuit 2 of your sensor. The Sensing Switch will
only turn on when the Tap button is pressed, but will still turn off automatically,
when you vacate the room. This setting is also known as “Vacancy” mode.
Off-While-Occupied (OWO) Disabled – The sensor automatically turns on when you enter the room, and turns off when
you vacate the room. When in this mode, if you turn the lights off while in the
room, they will automatically turn back on after a 25 second period, if motion is
detected.
Off-While-Occupied (OWO) Enabled – The sensor automatically turns on when you enter the room, and turns off when
you vacate the room. When this mode is enabled, if you turn the lights off when
you enter the room, they will remain off as long as the room remains occupied, and
the Timeout has not expired.
Sensitivity – A programmable setting to adjust the level of sensitivity your sensor will have to detect motion.
Timeout – A programmable setting that determines how long the lights will remain on after the room has been vacated, and
motion has not been detected.
Zone Mapping – A programmable setting that allows you to change your lighting zone assignments and settings.
