UNIT DESCRIPTION
The LightSense™ PSWPA Wireless Plug-In Appliance Module
provides control for plug-in appliances and non-dimmable
lamps. This module makes it easy to include switched loads in
the LightSense system. Audio systems, irrigation equipment, AC
motors and pumps can be powered and controlled through the
PSWPA.
Appliance
module icon
The appliance module includes a patented zero-crossing technology, which
switches the load safely and without internal arcing.
LightSense wireless devices use radio signals to communicate with each other
to control lighting and other types of electric loads in selected areas. They use
the 900MHz band for high-speed control communication. Using the patented
“frequency-agile” Top Dog™ technology, LightSense wireless devices avoid
interference with other 900MHz devices, such as cordless phones and baby
monitors.
Auto-on Operation
Auto-on is compatible with virtually all non-dimmable line voltage lighting loads.
When the lamp has been turned off by the LightSense wireless appliance
module, you can still manually turn on the lamp using the lamp’s integral switch.
The LightSense appliance module senses the switch opening and closing and
immediately applies power to the load.
Auto-on may also be compatible with some types of appliances, but because of
the variations in electronic switch design, each proposed appliance must be
tested with the module to determine proper operation with this feature.
Auto-on is disabled when shipped from the factory and can be enabled in the
field using a simple procedure (see Operation).

SET HOUSE ID
All LightSense™ wireless devices installed in the same home must acquire the
same unique House ID before use. This process is known as house binding.
Each LightSense wireless device is bound to all other LightSense wireless
devices in the house.
New Installation
1. With all devices installed
and energized, make sure
that every LightSense
wireless device LED is
yellow. If any LED is off, be
sure the circuit breaker is
on and the device is
correctly installed.
When you see
in the instructions,
firmly press and
hold both the up
and down arrow
buttons until the
LED changes
(about 2 seconds).
2. Press
on any device
paddle or the up and down
arrows on a LightSense
wireless plug-in module until the LED flashes yellow (about 2 seconds). This
indicates that it has acquired a unique House ID.
3. Make sure that all other LightSense wireless device LEDs are flashing
green, indicating that they have acquired the same House ID.
4. Return to the device used in step 2, which is still flashing yellow. Press
until the LED changes to solid green (about 2 seconds). All device LEDs in
the House change to solid green, indicating house binding is complete.
Adding a Device to an Existing Installation
If you’re adding or replacing a device in a LightSense wireless installation that is
already operating, the new device must acquire the same House ID as the other
LightSense wireless devices in the house. After the new device is powered up,
the LED should be solid yellow. This indicates that it has not yet acquired a
House ID. To acquire the House ID for the existing system:
1. Press
on any previously bound device until its LED flashes yellow
(about 2 seconds).
2. Verify that the newly added device LED is flashing green, indicating that it
has acquired the House ID.
3. Return to the same previously bound device used in step 1 and press
until the LED changes to solid green (about 2 seconds). All device LEDs
should now be solid green.

ADVANCED OPERATION
Groups
Use a Lightsense™ PSWPA Wireless Plug-In Appliance Module in conjunction
with PSWCS Wireless Multilocation Controllers to control one plug-in module
outlet from multiple locations. Binding the PSWPA and PSWCS devices
together in the same Group lets you operate the appliance module from any of
the control locations.
You can include other LightSense wireless devices in the Group. All devices in
the Group operate when one member operates. If, for example, you turn on one
device in the Group, all devices turn on.
Set the House ID (see Set House ID) before setting up Groups.
1. Go to any device that you want to include in the Group. Press
. The
device LED flashes yellow, and all other devices in the house flash green.
You now have 5 minutes to complete this process.
2. To include or exclude a device in the Group press
on the device until the
LED changes color. Yellow flashing LED = Included in the Group
Green flashing LED = NOT included in the Group
If you get to a device and it is NOT flashing, see TROUBLESHOOTING.
3. Return to the device used in step 1 and press
to terminate Group
binding. All LEDs revert to solid green. Now, all the devices in the Group
control their load circuit in exactly the same manner.
Adding a Module to a Group in an Existing System

TROUBLESHOOTING
During Set House ID, the LED is not flashing on some wireless
LightSense™ devices.
•
•
If LED is solid green before initiating House ID binding:
The device already has another House ID. Reset it to the factory default
so that it can be bound to the desired House ID. Resetting to factory
defaults is described in the “I need to start over” issue.
If LED is solid yellow after initiating House ID binding:
The device may be out of range of the initiating device. Add a PSWO
LightSense Wireless Repeater to boost signal range.
During Group binding, all LEDs stop flashing before I get back
to the initiating device to press
and terminate the process.
The 5 minute Group binding process timer may have expired. Restart the
binding process timer by repeating steps 1 and 2 of the procedure you were
using. Notice that the devices you previously included are flashing yellow;
simply finish the process from where you left off.
The device LED flashes red when I press
.
If house or room scene controllers are used in the house, the house or room
configuration may be locked. Consult the installation instructions for the
PSWCH or PSWRH wireless house scene controller if one is present. See
the PSWCR or PSWRR wireless room scene controller instructions if one is
present.
I made a configuration mistake. I need to start over.
You can reset any LightSense wireless device to factory default settings by
pressing and holding
until the LED changes to solid yellow (about 10
seconds). During the process, the LED flashes yellow and when complete, it
changes to solid yellow. The device can then be reconfigured, exactly like
any new device (see the Set House ID section).
The module does not work and the status LED is flashing red
at 2Hz (10 times in 5 seconds).
The module has detected an overload condition and has shut down.
To clear the fault condition, tap
and wait for the LED to turn green.
Disconnect loads in excess of rated load and try again.
