6. Fa'apipi'i

Follow these steps carefully to install your ECOELER Motion Sensor Dimmer Switch. Ensure power is OFF before beginning.

6.1 Mu'i Fa'apipi'i

  1. Tape Malosi: Locate your circuit breaker or fuse box and turn off the power to the switch location. Verify power is off using a voltage su'e.
  2. Aveese Suiga Tuai: Unscrew and carefully remove the existing wall plate and switch from the electrical box. Do not disconnect wires yet.
  3. Faailoa Uaea: Identify the following wires in your electrical box:
    • Hot (Line) Wire: Carries power from the circuit breaker.
    • Uea Uea: Connects to the light fixture.
    • Uaea Neutral: (Required) Typically white, often capped together with other neutral wires.
    • Uaea eleele: (Recommended) Typically bare copper or green.

6.2 Fa'atonuga uaea

Connect the wires from the ECOELER Motion Sensor Dimmer Switch to the corresponding wires in your electrical box using the provided wiring caps.

7. Fa'atonuga o Galuega

The ECOELER Motion Sensor Dimmer Switch offers flexible operation modes and customizable settings.

7.1 Sensor Modes (Occupancy vs. Vacancy)

The switch can be configured for two primary sensor modes:

  • Faiga o le Nofoia (Otometi ON, Otometi TAPUNI): The lights automatically turn ON when motion is detected and automatically turn OFF after a set time delay when no motion is detected.
  • Faiga o le Avanoa (Fa'agaoioi le Tusi Lima, Tape Otometi): The lights must be manually turned ON, but will automatically turn OFF after a set time delay when no motion is detected.

7.2 Fetuunaiga o Faiga

The switch features adjustable dials for Time Delay, Sensitivity, and Ambient Light Level. These are typically located under a removable cover on the switch face.

  • Taimi tuai: Adjust how long the lights remain ON after the last detected motion. Options include 15 seconds (Test), 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, and 30 minutes.
  • Ma'ale'ale: Adjust the motion detection range. Higher sensitivity detects motion over a larger area.
  • Ambient Light Level: In Occupancy mode, this setting determines the ambient light threshold below which the sensor will turn on the lights. For example, set to 'Dark' for lights to only turn on in low light conditions.

8. Faʻafitauli

  • E le ki moli moli:
    • Ensure power is ON at the circuit breaker.
    • Verify all wiring connections are secure and correct (Hot, Load, Neutral, Ground).
    • Check if the bulb is working and properly installed.
    • Adjust the ambient light level setting; if set too high, lights may not turn on in bright conditions.
    • Increase sensitivity if motion is not being detected.
  • Lights do not turn OFF:
    • Ensure no continuous motion is occurring within the sensor's range.
    • Check the time delay setting; a longer delay will keep lights on for longer.
    • Reduce sensitivity if the sensor is detecting motion from outside the desired area.
  • Lights flicker or dim improperly:
    • Ensure you are using dimmable LED/CFL or incandescent/halogen bulbs. Non-dimmable bulbs may flicker.
    • Fa'amaonia le aofa'i atoa o le watitage of connected bulbs does not exceed the switch's maximum rating (150W for LED/CFL, 300W for Incandescent/Halogen).

9. Tausiga

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your ECOELER Motion Sensor Dimmer Switch:

  • Fa'amamaina: Wipe the switch and wall plate with a soft, damp ie. Aua ne'i fa'aogaina ni mea fa'amama fa'afefete po'o ni solu.
  • Aloese mai Faalavelave: Ensure the sensor lens is not obstructed by furniture, curtains, or other objects that could block motion detection.
  • Siaki masani: Periodically check the switch for any loose connections or visible damage. If any issues are found, turn off power at the breaker and consult a qualified electrician.

10. Fa'amaonia ma Lagolago

The ECOELER Motion Sensor Dimmer Switch comes with a 1 tausaga fa'amaonia, providing peace of mind regarding its quality and durability. For technical support, warranty claims, or any questions regarding your product, please contact ECOELER customer service.
