User Guide

Can I adjust how long the lights stay on after the space is vacated?

Yes, all motion sensor light switches 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 o at the

selected interval of time when motion is no longer detected.

Is there a way to reduce the detection area?

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.

If there is sucient daylight in an area, will the occupancy sensor switch still automatically turn the

lights on?

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.

Do Leviton’s motion sensor switches require a neutral wire connection?

The DOS02/DVS02 and DOS05/DVS05 motion sensor switches have ﬂexible wiring options with a wire that

can be connected to a neutral or a ground connection. It is recommended to only connect to the ground if

there is not a neutral wire present in the wallbox. The DOS15 and DVS15 motion sensors require a neutral wire

for installation.

Can motion sensors be used to control exhaust fans or a light/fan combination in a bathroom?

Yes, models with higher ratings such as the DOS05, DVS05, DOS15 and DVS15 are designed to control bathroom

exhaust fans. Be sure to review product speciﬁcations to ensure the sensor has a motor load rating.

Can motion sensor light switches operate on a 3-way?

Yes. The DOS05 and DVS05 models can be wired in a 3-way application using either a single pole switch or a

3-way switch.

The DOS15 and DVS15 models can be used in multi-location (multi-way) installations when paired with a DD0SR

switch companion. 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.

What bulb types can be used with the motion sensors?

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.

Is there a minimum load (watts) required for a motion sensor switch to operate properly?

No minimum load is required.

Are there speciﬁc sensors that can be used to meet the California Title 24, Part 6 Vacancy Control

Device Requirements?

Yes, all Leviton vacancy sensor models can be used to comply with the 2019 California Title 24, Part 6 Vacancy

Control Device Requirements. There are also occupancy sensor models DOS02, DOS05 and DOS15 that can be

switched to a vacancy control to comply. See product instructions for more details.
