Occupancy Sensor
OSSMT-MD/GD
BASIC OPERATION
Occupancy sensors have two tasks: keeping the lights
ON while the space is occupied and turning the lights
OFF when unoccupied.
The Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors provide immunity
to false ON through a specialized Fresnel lens which
divides the field-of-view into sensor zones. When
a person passes into or out of a sensor zone, the
sensor detects motion and switches the lights ON.
The Ultrasonic (U/S) sensors provide maximum
sensitivity and range in difficult spaces with irregular
shaped rooms and partitions that can block the PIR
field-of-view. A pair of U/S sensors will detect Doppler
shifts caused by motion in a space preventing false
OFF. These sensors are more sensitive to small
movements since they do not rely on zones.
APPLICATIONS
The Leviton Decora
®
Wall Switch Multi-Technology
Occupancy Sensor (OSSMT) is used to provide
automatic lighting control for energy savings and
convenience in a variety of commercial applications:
• Retrofit
• Private and executive offices
• Conference rooms
• Storage areas
• Restrooms
• Classrooms
• Lounges
• Training areas
• Multi-location switching (similar to 3-way)
SELF-ADAPTIVE TECHNOLOGY
Designed for “install-and-forget” use, the OSSMT
automatically analyzes room conditions and adapts to
errors or changing environment.
HOW THE OSSMT-MD AUTOMATICALLY ADAPTS
CONDITION EXAMPLE ADAPTIVE REACTION
False-ON:
Sensor
incorrectly
turns the
lights ON
False-OFF:
Sensor
incorrectly
turns the
lights OFF
After an initial movement
is sensed, if another
movement is not sensed
within the timer setting the
delayed off-time setting is
automatically reduced
If motion is detected
shortly after the lights
go OFF, the current
delayed off-time setting is
increased
The sensor detects
movement in the
corridor or hallway
and the room light
turns ON
The sensor
does not detect
movement because
an occupant is
virtually motionless
and the lights turn
OFF
