GENERAL INFORMATION
• Read all instructions on both sides of this sheet first.
• Plan all component locations carefully.
• Install in accordance with all local codes.
• For use with 120/277 VAC only.
CAUTION: Before installing or performing any service on a Novitas system,
the power MUST be turned off at the branch circuit breaker. According to
NEC 240-83(d), if the branch circuit breaker is used as the main switch for a
fluorescent lighting circuit, the circuit breaker should be marked “SWD.”
• Not for use where temperatures fall below 60o F or
exceed 90o F.
• For indoor use only.
NOTE REGARDING COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS: The life of some
compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) is shortened by frequent automatic or
manual switching. Check with CFL and ballast manufacturer to determine the effects of cycling.
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
The 01-DL400 is a self-contained motion-sensing lighting control which
replaces a conventional wall switch for energy savings and convenience.
Lights turn off automatically after a room is vacated.
The 01-DL400 is designed to detect motion from a heat-emitting source
(such as a person entering a room) within its field-of-view and automatically switch lights on and off. Lights will remain on until no motion is
detected and a preset time delay has expired.
The 01-DL400 includes a self-adjusting feature that will maintain optimum
performance by automatically and immediately self-adjusting sensitivity
and time delay in real time based on occupant activity. The self-adjusting
feature may be deactivated by flipping a concealed dipswitch under the
touchplate (see Adjustment Controls diagram).
Model 01-DL400 offers a choice of Automatic On or Manual On modes. In
the Automatic On mode, the lights turn on automatically when a person
enters the room. In the Manual On mode, lights are turned on by pressing
the touchplate on the switch. Modes can be changed by flipping a concealed dipswitch under the touchplate (see Adjustment Controls diagram).
At any time, lights may be turned off while the room is occupied by pressing the
touchplate. The 01-DL400 is fully self-resetting; lights turned off manually in
Automatic On mode will stay off while the room remains occupied. After the room
is vacated and the preset time delay and grace period have elapsed, the lights will
remain off until turned on automatically the next time Someone enters the room.
In either mode, lights will remain on as long as motion is detected in the room. When
no motion is detected, the lights will turn off automatically after the pre-set time delay.
COVERAGE
In Manual On mode, a “grace period” of approximately ten seconds follows the lights
turning off automatically. During that grace period, lights can be turned on again by
motion. In the Automatic On mode, lights will be turned on by motion at any time.
Model 01-DL400 allows the control of two separate loads with one switch.
Pushing the touchplate cycles through the selection of the primary load, both
loads, the secondary load only, and off. If the lights are automatically
switched off by the sensor after the time delay, the wall switch will activate the
lights in the same state they were in when they were shut off. If they were
shut off by the user, the primary load wil be activated when lights are switched
on, but the user may then use the touchplate to change the selection.
Use of the Energy Saver Mode, which can be selected by a DIP switch under the touch plate, ensures that
the wall switch always activates one load only. If both
loads are on when the sensor times
Load that is lit at
out and automatically switches off shut-off
the lights, only the primary load will
be activated. If only the primary or
secondary load is on when the sensor times out and automatically
switches out the lights, the switch will
reactivate the load that was on at
shut off. If the lights were switched
off manually, the 01-DL400 will activate only the primary load.
TYPICAL OFFICE LAYOUT
The 01-DL400 is designed for
offices up to 300 square feet.
Although total coverage of minor
motion is 450 square feet, wall
switches are normally mounted
off-center in a room which
reduces the coverage attainable.

lights are switched on
manually or automatically
by the sensor.

LOCATION
When installing 01-DL400 in a new junction box, choose the
switch location carefully to provide optimum coverage of the occupied area. When replacing an existing wall switch, bear in mind
that there must be a clear line of sight between the sensor and
the area to be covered. Avoid pointing the 01-DL400 directly into
the hallway where it may detect passers-by.
INSTALLATION
The 01-DL400 can replace one switch in any standard single or double gang box. It
may be installed in the same manner as an ordinary wall switch.
For safety purposes, before installing or doing any service on a Novitas wall switch,
the power must be turned off at the circuit breaker panel.
Wire the 01-DL400 as described in the wiring section.
Mount 01-DL400 in the junction box.
RATINGS

Note: No minimum load requirement.
Maximum Load: 800 Watts, 6.7 amps/relay Maximum Load: 1200 Watts, 4.3 amps/relay
WIRING
CAUTION: For use with 120/277 VAC only. Do not use with any other voltage. Do not wire to control receptacle circuits.
Do not wire circuits of different voltages to the separate relays of this unit. VERIFY that the connected load does not exceed the 01-DL400 ratings per relay.
Use twist-on wire connectors for all connections. All installations should be in compliance with the National Electric Code and all state and local codes.
Model 01-DL400 can be wired to control both an exhaust fan and lighting provided the load does not exceed the maximum load rating (in Amps) per
relay for the automatic wall switch.
TWO CIRCUITS - TWO LIGHTING LOADS
WIRING DIAGRAM w Model 01-DL400
Connect the blue wire to the switchleg for the primary load. Connect one red wire to the
switchleg of the secondary load. Connect the appropriate green wire to the ground. Connect
the black wire to the primary load hot. Connect the other red wire to the secondary load hot.
ONE CIRCUIT - TWO LIGHTING LOADS
CAUTION: If a room is wired for two circuits using two separate hot leads, it is very
important to connect only one circuit to the sensor. Split one circuit into two switchlegs
and cap the unused hot lead inside the box.
The combination of Load 1 and Load 2 must not exceed the maximum load rating.
Consult with the building manager and occupant to determine which lights should
be off (Load 2) when the toggle switch adjacent to the sensor is open (off).
01-DL400 must always control Load 1, while its control of Load 2 is selected manually by opening and
closing the toggle switch. Connect the blue wire to the switchleg for Load 1 and one side of the toggle
switch for Load 2. Connect the other side of the toggle switch to the switchleg for Load 2. Connect
ground lead. Finally, connect the black wire to the hot lead. Connections are polarity sensitive.
CHECKOUT AND ADJUSTMENT
Because second relay is completely isolated, switch may
be wired as one circuit/two loads or two circuits/two loads.
Once installation is complete, restore power to the lighting circuit. Proper operation of CAUTION: Do not wire circuits of different voltages to the separate relays of this unit.
01-DL400 must be verified. Controls can then be adjusted for the individual user.
Adjustments should be made with the HVAC system on. Use only insulated tools to make adjustments.
1. Immediately after applying power to the lighting circuit, wait approximately one to two minutes for the switch to power up and stabilize.
2. Adjustment controls are under the touchplate. "Time Delay" ranges from 1/4 minute (15 seconds), for installer testing, to 30 minutes. Refer to the chart below to set the Time Delay to 1/4
minute. The factory default is the "Auto/Manual On” switch in the OFF position for AUTO operation and the “Self Adjust” feature is set to ON.
3. The area of coverage can be determined by watching the LED indicator on the front of the Sensor while moving around the room. The LED lights only when the Sensor is
detecting motion.
4. Leave the room. The lights should go out in approximately 15 seconds. Wait at least 12 seconds after the lights go out. Walk
normally back into the room and verify that the lights turn on automatically.
