SkylinkHome SK-9 Wireless Motion Sensor & Dimmable Light Socket Kit User Manual

1. Introduction

The SkylinkHome SK-9 kit provides wireless home automation for lighting, combining a motion sensor (ID-318) and a screw-in dimmer (LX-318). This system allows for convenient, automated control of lights based on motion detection, enhancing both comfort and energy efficiency. It is designed for indoor use.

2. Produit terminéview et fonctionnalités

The SK-9 kit includes two main components:

• Motion Sensor (ID-318): Detects movement to trigger lighting.
• Screw-In Dimmer (LX-318): A light socket that allows a standard light bulb to be wirelessly controlled and dimmed.

Key features of the SkylinkHome SK-9 system include:

• Installation facile à faire soi-même : Designed for straightforward setup without professional assistance.
• Ambient Light Sensor (ALS): Automatically adjusts lighting based on natural light levels, turning lights on or off as needed.
• Large compatibilité : Works with both Incandescent and CFL bulbs.
• Portée sans fil étendue : Offers up to 500 feet of wireless range in open areas, allowing control from a distance (with compatible SkylinkHome Remote Controls, sold separately).
• Capteur de mouvement réglable : Provides a motion detection range of up to 40 feet with adjustable sensitivity settings.

3. Contenu du colis

The SkylinkHome SK-9 kit typically includes:

• 1 x SkylinkHome Motion Sensor (ID-318)
• 1 x SkylinkHome Screw-In Dimmer (LX-318)
• Mounting hardware for the motion sensor
• Manuel d'utilisation

4. Instructions de configuration

Follow these steps to set up your SkylinkHome SK-9 kit:

1. Install the Screw-In Dimmer (LX-318):
   • Ensure the power to the light fixture is turned OFF at the circuit breaker.
   • Screw the LX-318 dimmer into a standard light socket.
   • Screw your incandescent or CFL bulb into the LX-318 dimmer.
   • Rétablissez l'alimentation du luminaire.
2. Install the Motion Sensor (ID-318):
   • The motion sensor is battery-powered (batteries included and required).
   • Mount the motion sensor on a wall using the provided hardware. Choose a location where it can effectively detect motion within your desired area, keeping in mind its 40-foot range.
   • Adjust the sensor's angle for optimal coverage.
3. Pairing the Motion Sensor with the Dimmer:
   • Refer to the detailed pairing instructions included in the individual component manuals for the ID-318 and LX-318. Generally, this involves putting the dimmer into a learning mode and then activating the motion sensor.
   • Once paired, the motion sensor will wirelessly communicate with the dimmer to control the light.

5. Mode d'emploi

Once set up, the SkylinkHome SK-9 kit operates automatically:

• Détection de mouvement : When the motion sensor detects movement within its adjustable 40-foot range, it sends a signal to the paired screw-in dimmer.
• Éclairage automatique : The dimmer will then turn on the connected light bulb.
• Ambient Light Sensor (ALS): The motion sensor's ALS feature can be configured to prevent lights from turning on during daylight hours, saving energy.
• Arrêt automatique: The light will automatically turn off after a preset duration (e.g., 5, 30, or 60 minutes) if no further motion is detected.

6. Paramètres du capteur de mouvement

The motion sensor (ID-318) offers customizable settings:

• Réglage de la sensibilité : Adjust the sensor's sensitivity to motion to prevent false triggers or ensure detection in specific areas. Refer to the ID-318 manual for detailed instructions on adjusting this setting.
• Ambient Light Sensor (ALS): The ALS can be enabled to only activate the light when the ambient light level is low (e.g., at night or in a dark room). This helps conserve energy during the day.
• Minuterie d'arrêt automatique : Set the duration for which the light remains on after motion is no longer detected. Common settings include 5, 30, or 60 minutes.

7. Fonctions d'économie d'énergie

The SkylinkHome SK-9 kit is designed with energy efficiency in mind:

• Éclairage automatisé : Lights turn on only when needed due to motion, and turn off automatically after a set period of inactivity.
• Détection de la lumière ambiante : Prevents unnecessary lighting during daylight hours.
• Reduced Phantom Load: When used with compatible SkylinkHome plug-in receivers (not included in this kit), the system can completely cut power to electronics when turned off, eliminating standby power consumption.

8. Entretien

• Remplacement de la batterie : The motion sensor (ID-318) is battery-powered. Replace batteries as needed to ensure continuous operation. Refer to the ID-318 manual for battery type and replacement instructions.
• Nettoyage: Wipe the motion sensor and dimmer with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Compatibilité des ampoules : Ensure you use compatible Incandescent or CFL bulbs with the screw-in dimmer.

9. Dépannage

• La lumière ne s'allume/ne s'éteint pas :
  • Check if the light fixture has power.
  • Ensure the bulb is correctly screwed into the dimmer and is functional.
  • Verify the motion sensor batteries are not depleted.
  • Confirm the motion sensor and dimmer are properly paired. Re-pair if necessary.
  • Check the motion sensor's placement and angle to ensure it covers the desired area.
  • If the light fixture is controlled by a wall switch, ensure the wall switch is in the 'ON' position. Some users have found that toggling the wall switch to 'OFF' and then back to 'ON' can reset the transmitter mode, allowing the motion sensor to function correctly. The sensor will have no effect if the transmitter is in the 'ON' mode and not in the 'OFF' mode for motion detection.
• False triggers or no detection:
  • Adjust the motion sensor's sensitivity setting.
  • Ensure there are no heat sources or air currents (e.g., vents, windows) directly in the sensor's field of view that could cause false triggers.
  • Check the Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) setting; if it's enabled, the light won't turn on during bright conditions.
• Portée sans fil limitée :
  • Ensure there are no major obstructions (thick walls, metal objects) between the motion sensor and the dimmer.
  • The stated range of 500 feet is for open areas; actual range may vary indoors.
