Occupancy and Vacancy Motion Sensors

That Can Be Used to Comply with 2019 California Title 24,

Part 6, Indoor Device Requirements and 2017 NEC

CHALLENGE

Residential new construction in the State of CA

must meet 2019 Title 24 energy code requirements

for Indoor Lighting as well as the NEC 2017.

- 2019 California Title 24 now allows an occupancy sensor to

meet the vacancy requirements

- If occupant sensor is installed, it must be conﬁgured

to manual-ON operation

- If occupant sensor is installed, it shall not be capable

of conversion by occupants from manual-ON to

automatic-ON functionality

- NEC 2017 prohibits current on the equipment grounding

conductor during normal operation

CHALLENGE

Residential retroﬁt construction may not have a

neutral in the wallbox.

NEC 2017 exceptions:

- For replacement in already installed places (allowable to sell

and replace)

- Retroﬁt: allowed, but will be limited to 5 devices per branch

circuit conductor and 25 per feeder conductors

SOLUTION

All Leviton Occupancy and Vacancy Sensors comply

with 2019 California Title 24 can be used to also meet

the requirements of NEC 2017 for new construction.

- Neutral required for installations in new construction

- 180° ﬁeld of view, 900 sq. ft. coverage

- Suitable for bathrooms, garages, laundry rooms and

utility rooms

- DOS02, DVS02 are single pole only. DOS05/DVS05 are single/

pole or 3 way and DOS15, DVS15 are single pole or 3-way/

multi-location when used with a DD0SR switch companion.

Also, multi-sensor with two DOS15 or DVS15 sensors

- For use with LED, CFL, Incandescent, Magnetic Low Voltage,

Electronic Low Voltage, Fluorescent Ballast or Motor loads

SOLUTION

All Leviton Occupancy and Vacancy Sensors can be

used to replace an existing wall switch.

- 180° ﬁeld of view, 900 sq. ft. coverage

- Suitable for bathrooms, garages, laundry rooms and utility rooms

- Single pole or 3-way

- For use with LED, CFL, Incandescent, Fluorescent Ballast

or Motor loads

- DOS15 and DVS15 require a neutral wire for installation

Leviton oers many products that help lower electrical costs and add convenience to everyday living. Replacing standard switches with

sensors helps to reduce energy consumption by ensuring that lights are never left on for an extended period of time.

Residential indoor lighting requirements in the State of California have changed and ﬁnding a sensor that meets these new speciﬁcations

can be challenging. Fortunately, Leviton oers compliant solutions for new construction and retroﬁt applications.
