Parts You Will Need

• One or more C&K Model 4070 motion sensors.
• One C&K Model 1092 plug-in transformerfor every four motion sensors.
• One Powerflashmodule for each different X10 code you wish sent. Or one 6315 dry contact transmitterfor every four X10 codes you wish sent.
• A place to plug in each transformer and Powerflash module. And a place to wire in each 6315 dry contact transmitter. If you wish to put this equipment in the attic it should be placed in a metal box. (Consult you local electrical codes.)
• Enough four conductor 22 AWG (minimum gauge) hookup wire to route from the outlets to each motion sensor.

Sensor Installation

For each motion sensor, connect the hookup cable as shown in the figure and route the cable to where the transformer(s), etc. will be located.

You can "daisy chain" the cable to up to four motion sensors if you wish these sensors to all transmit the same X10 code.

For testing purposes, make sure that "S1" is "hooked" and "S2" is "unhooked" inside the sensor.

Connect the Transformers

Connect the Powerflashes

You can connect, in "parallel", up to four motion sensors to each Powerflash if you wish the sensors to transmit the same X10 code.

Connect the 6315s

Then connect all the yellow leads from the motion sensors to the red lead from the 6315. Connect the green lead from the first motion detector to the blue lead from the 6315. For additional motion sensors refer to the example four sensor 6315 hookup diagram.

Testing

If you are using Powerflashes, set the Input" switch to "B" and the "Mode" switch to "3".

Now walk in front of the sensor. The light should go on, then go out when the sensor times out. Test all the sensors before continuing.

There are two adjustments and three switches inside each motion sensor. These controls affect whether or not the sensor will activate during daylight hours, the sensitivity of the sensor, and the minimum time that the sensor will remain triggered. Refer to the "Adjustment Features" in the 4070 Installation Manual for further information.

Note that it takes a few minutes for the 4070 to warm up after power is applied.

Troubleshooting

If the light still doesn't respond, try the "test" and "all units off" buttons on the Powerflash module. If "all units off" turns off the light, but "test" doesn't turn it on, you've selected the wrong unit code on the Powerflash. If neither button has any effect, you may have selected the wrong house code on the Powerflash or you may have a X10 transmission problem (call us for further information).

You can verify proper operation of the sensor by connecting a wire between terminals 3 and 6 to activate the "walk test" LED on the back of the sensor.

Uses

Automatic Lights

Set the house code and unit code(s) on the Powerflash(es) or 6315s so that yard lights, porch lights, and some interior lights come on when the sensor trips. You'll never have to enter a dark house again.

Warning: Dedicate lights for this use only; If you try to use an existing light that is also used for general illumination, when the motion sensor times out--the light will go out! (See "On, But Not Off" below.)

Prowler Alert

Set the house code and unit code on a chime module to the same settings as the powerflash module and plug in the chime module anywhere. The chime will ring whenever someone approaches the house.

On, But Not Off

Home Automation

You may, for instance, want the lights to sequence on when the sensor trips, simulating someone moving about in the house.

The limitations of the Powerflash can be easily overcome with a Home Automation Controller such as Menage Automation's UCIX. With UCIX and the motion sensor interface described here, you can do all sorts of things based on the fact that someone is moving around the house.
