Troubleshooting Motion Sensor Operation
• The initial rmware (R.1.0.0.0 and earlier) did not support this sen-
sor within the built-in selectable programs. Custom programming
was required. Upgrade to the latest rmware for built-in support.
• After an initial power-up or restart, the motion sensor requires about
30 seconds before it will begin responding to motion.
• The motion sensor initiates override only during “o” times in the
schedule. Check the schedule.
• Check that the motion sensor is enabled and detects motion. See
Enabling/Disabling the Sensor and Override Time on page 34.
• Using BACstage or TotalControl, check that BI6 (occ status) is not
congured as “Out of Service.”
• See Performance and Applications on page 33 about eective
range, false detections, and other detection issues.
• The FlexStat must be installed where there is a clear view of typical
occupancy movement (reliable range is out to about 33 feet). Remove
or move obstacles. Reinstall the FlexStat in a more optimal location
if necessary. See also Adding a Door Contact for Additional Control
on page 35.
• For extended range or views around obstacles, connect remote
motion sensors to an input. See Adding Remote Motion Sensors on
page 36.
• For the program in Customizing the Motion Sensor and Override on
page 34, Occupancy Override time in the System menu must not
be set to 0.
NOTE: This program will work with the built-in motion sensor en-
abled or disabled. It will also work with FlexStat models that
have no built-in motion sensor.
NOTE: See important information about custom programming in
Custom Programming on page 17.
