Motion sensor light switches provide hands-free lighting for added safety and convenience. An occupancy sensor will automatically turn lights on when motion is detected, and off after a set period when motion is no longer detected. Vacancy models require the user to manually turn the lights on and will automatically turn lights off after a set period or when motion is no longer detected. Motion Sensor switches use passive infrared PIR technology to detect movement so there are a few factors to take into consideration when installing them in the home.
Also consider the size and shape of the area and the type of activity taking place in the space. Airflow, HVAC ducts and heat sources must also be taken into consideration because if any are too close to the sensor, they can inadvertently trigger it. An occupancy sensor switch automatically turns the lights on when motion is detected within the sensor viewing range and automatically turns the lights off when the room is vacant, and motion is no longer detected. A vacancy sensor switch, also known as a manual-on sensor, requires the user to manually turn on the lights and will automatically turn lights off when the room is vacant, and motion is no longer detected.
An occupancy sensor switch is ideal in areas such as laundry rooms, garages, basements, pantries, closets, mudrooms, and storage areas where you want the convenience of the lights turning on and off automatically. They work best in rooms where you may enter and exit with your hands full or if reaching for a light switch may be difficult and possibly hazardous. Leviton's occupancy sensor switches incorporate an ambient light override setting which, when enabled, will prevent the sensor from switching the lights on when there is ample daylight in the space.
There is a possibility that the movement of a pet or small child within 8 feet of an occupancy motion sensor switch will trigger the lights to turn on. However, the sensor sensitivity setting can be adjusted, or the sensor can be set to manual-on so it functions as a vacancy manual-on sensor. In general, this is highly unlikely. However, in some instances if the sensor is placed too close to a heat source such as a dryer, stove or heating vent, the heat generated may trigger the lights to turn on or prevent them from turning off.
For optimal performance, the sensor should be installed a reasonable distance away from heat sources.
This setting is beneficial for certain activities such as watching a movie. It can also be adjusted to meet code requirements. See the product instruction guide for details. Yes, all motion sensor light switches can be manually turned on or off by pressing the push pad on the face of the device. Yes, all sensors have a timer setting that can be adjusted for the duration of time for which the light remains on since the last detection of motion. Once a setting is chosen, the light will turn off at the selected interval of time when motion is no longer detected.
Yes, motion sensor light switches are designed to replace standard wall switches and can be installed with or without a neutral wire. This feature makes them perfect for retrofit applications where a neutral wire may not be present. Most Decora motion sensor switches have been designed to use existing wiring and do not require a neutral for installation.
If a neutral is present in the wallbox, remove the green sleeve to expose the white wire and connect it to the neutral wire. If there is not a neutral wire present in the wallbox, leave the green sleeve in place and connect it to the ground wire.
A ground wire or neutral wire is required for operation of the sensor. Always refer to the product instruction guide for details. They can also be used in multi-sensor applications by using two DOS15 or DVS15 sensors where a single motion sensing switch will not cover the entire room with line of site such as stairways, hallways, and L-shaped rooms.
See product instructions for more details. It is recommended to only connect to the ground if there is not a neutral wire present in the wallbox. See product instructions for detail. Leviton motion sensor switches are designed to operate with a wide range of bulbs including LED, CFL, incandescent, halogen, electronic low voltage, magnetic low voltage and fluorescent. There are also models that can control motor loads such as exhaust fans.
Be sure to confirm by checking the product package or instructions for load requirements before installation. Yes, the motion sensors have 3 sensitivity settings. The default is set to the medium range, but you can increase the sensitivity range to high or reduce the sensitivity range to low for smaller spaces.
Product Features. Fits in standard wallbox and replaces single-pole wall switch. Gangable with other units. Two dual element PIR sensors used to widen detection range.
Segmented Fresnel lens provides optimum sensitivity and performance. Vandal resistant PIR lens. No masking tape required. To comply with T24, red LED indicator light flashes when sensor detects motion to verify detection is active. Time Delay adjustment for delayed-OFF time set-tings of 30 seconds for walking test , 10 minutes, 20 minutes, and 30 minutes.
Allows customized adjustments to maximize energy savings. Light sensor enables the load hold-OFF feature once level has been set. Vacancy confirmation - when the time out expires and the lights turn OFF a 30 second vacancy confirmation exists to turn the lights back ON. False detection circuitry. Presentation Mode feature for slide or film presentations allows push buttons to turn lights OFF and keep them OFF while the room is occupied. One unit can be used for V through V lighting.
