 Mounting Options

Tabletop
To place Motion Sensor on a tabletop or other flat
surface, leave the flat battery cover in place.

Corner Mount
To mount Motion Sensor in a corner, leave the flat battery
cover in place and apply the two adhesive strips. Ensure
the wall surface is clean before mounting. Motion Sensor
must be unmounted when replacing battery. Adhesive
strips are designed to be reusable for this purpose.

Flexible Mount
To precisely position Motion Sensor, slide off the flat back
and install the flexible mount. Screw the mounting bracket to
a solid surface and position the Motion Sensor as desired.

Local Programming Features

Linking Mode Readies the module for linking to another Insteon device. As linking is directional, the first
device placed into linking mode will become the controller in the controller/responder
relationship. The second device will become the responder. The device automatically exits
linking mode after a link has been made with another Insteon device or four minutes have
elapsed without linking.

Multi-Linking Readies the module for linking to multiple Insteon devices. The module will remain in linking
Mode mode for four minutes or until the module’s set button is tapped. After each successful link,
the four minute counter is reset. Use this mode to manually create a scene.

Unlinking Allows the removal of links from the Insteon device. The device will automatically exit

 Troubleshooting

Motion Sensor won’t link to other Insteon devices

Your Motion Sensor may be out of range of a dual-band Insteon device or your network may be powerline-only.

Try this:
• If your Insteon network lacks any dual-band devices, add a Range Extender or other dual-band Insteon device near your Motion
Sensor to bridge the Insteon RF and powerline networks.

• Motion Sensor must be placed within 100’ of a dual-band device. Radio interference and building construction may reduce range.
Relocate a dual-band device or add a Range Extender to increase RF coverage. Tip: when you quadruple tap the set button on a
dual-band device and then trigger motion on the sensor (or tap the Motion Sensor set button) the sensor LED will flash in unison
with the beeping of the dual-band device if it is within range.

Motion Sensor is not controlling linked devices

You were able to link to other Insteon devices but motion (or tapping Motion Sensor set button) isn’t controlling them.

Try this:
• The Motion Sensor may not be able to see your motion. Try changing position/angle and try again.

• If you created the link without software/app you may have linked the device in the off state. Repeat the linking instructions and
ensure that the device you are controlling is on before pressing and holding its set button.

• You may have disabled motion activation. Tap the Motion button on the Motion Sensor. If the LED flashes green, that means motion
activation is enabled. If it flashes red, that means it is disabled.

• You may have Night Only mode enabled. If you want motion to activate at all times, change this within the Insteon app. If you do
want to restrict motion activation only when dark, try adjusting the Light Sensitivity within the Insteon app.

• Motion Sensor may be on the fringe of your Insteon RF network. Add an additional Insteon dual-band device or Range Extender
near Motion Sensor for improved RF and powerline signal bridging.

• Battery may be low. If you see amber colored LED flash on the Motion Sensor, replace the battery.

Status LED flashes rapidly after triggering Motion Sensor

This blinking indicates that Motion Sensor may have not received acknowledgment from one or more linked devices.

Try this:
• If you have removed any Insteon devices from your network that were previously controlled by Motion Sensor, unlink them from
Motion Sensor. If the removed device is no longer available, use software to remove the link from Motion Sensor’s link table or
perform a factory reset to clear all links.

• Motion Sensor may be on the fringe of your Insteon RF network. Add an additional Insteon dual-band device or Range Extender
near Motion Sensor for improved RF and powerline signal bridging.

Status LED does not flash OR is amber colored when the set button is tapped or when the motion is detected
Your Motion Sensor’s battery may be low and require replacement.

Try this:
• Replace with a new battery.

 Certifications and Warnings

Read and understand these instructions before installing and retain them for future reference.

• Each Insteon product is assigned a unique Insteon ID, which is printed on the product’s label.

This device complies with FCC Rules and Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Le present appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts
de licence. L’exploitation est autorise aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de
brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radiolectrique subi, mme si le brouillage est
susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.

The digital circuitry of this device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15B of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in residential installations. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio and television reception. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation. If this device does cause such interference, which can be verified by turning the device
off and on, the user is encouraged to eliminate the interference by one or more of the following measures: •
Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna of the device experiencing the interference • Increase the distance
between this device and the receiver • Connect the device to an AC outlet on a circuit different from the one that
supplies power to the receiver • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.

WARNING: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Cet appareil a été testé et s’avère conforme aux restrictions relatives aux équipements numériques de classe B,
d’après l’article 15 des règlements du Conseil supérieur de l’audiovisuel américain (FCC). Ces restrictions ont
été instaurées pour offrir une protection raisonnable contre les interférences nuisibles au sein d’une installation
résidentielle. Cet appareil génère, utilise et peut émettre des fréquences radio et s’il n’est pas installé selon les
instructions, peut nuire aux radiocommunications. Toutefois, rien ne garantit que des parasites ne surviendront
pas dans une installation particulière. Si cet appareil cause des interférences nuisibles à la réception du
téléviseur ou de la radio, ce que vous pouvez déterminer en ouvrant et en fermant votre appareil, nous vous
invitons à essayer l’une des mesures correctives suivantes : • Réorientez l’antenne de réception installée sur
l’appareil qui manifeste les parasites.

• Éloignez l’appareil du composant qui reçoit les ondes. • Branchez l’appareil dans une prise de courant CA
différente de celle du composant qui reçoit les ondes. • Au besoin, consultez votre marchand électronique ou un
technicien spécialisé dans le service des radios/téléviseurs pour des suggestions supplémentaires.
