Product Description -  AL-WS-DR1 wall switch with Vacancy/Occupancy

 

  

This switch operates just like any standard residential light switch – however it takes 24-51v DC instead of 120VAC, and directly drives up 
to 30 watts of LED bulbs or a 12 watt fan.   This Decorator style switch in a standard residential style outline fits into any home, looks like 
any switch yet meets NEC article 411 for Low Voltage lighting.  It also meets Title 24 vacancy code requirements for lighting controls. 
 
When used as a LED switch - the built in Ambient Light sensor, and presence sensor, exceeds Title 24 requirements.    The switch can 
operate in: 

 

Vacancy mode ( manual on, automatic off ) 

 

Occupancy mode ( automatic on and off ) 

 

Occupancy with Ambient ( automatic on if the room is dark, automatic off) 

 
When used as a FAN controller – the push button starts the fan and it runs for a user defined time.   Vacancy will turn the fan off after a 
programmable delay.  Occupancy will turn the fan ON if presence is detected for a settable duration.  Fans are automatically detected. 
 
Unlike conventional On/Off vacancy switches – the dimming feature of this device means that the light does not go off all at once, instead, 
it dims slowly down to zero.  Should someone be in the room and undetected – the room does not go dark – allowing the occupant to 
create sufficient motion to maintain light.  
 
Stand alone it operates as a simple switch for 30 watts of LED’s.  For example, 5x 6 Watt LEDs can connect in series to this switch / 
dimmer device.  Use AWG 16 or 18 to bring  48v ( or 24 to 52 volts ) from a central power supply over to the switches, then use AWG 20 
to connect to your LEDs – no crimping tools are required to wire this device. 
 
For 3-way operation – a simple 2 wire link with AWG24 or better allows 2, 3, or an unlimited numbers of switches to control one set of 
LED’s.   Any single pole switch found at Home Depot can be used to add a 3-Way remote switch, or the AL-WS-M momentary switch can 
be used for unlimited 3-Way connections.    Multiple AL-WS-DR1 devices can communicate without any Hub using this interface. 
 
To enable Home / Business automation – the AL-WS-DR1-PIR includes a DALI serial bidirectional port for remote and voice control and 
central management.   Use the AL-DALI-Pi Hub to connect to Alexa or Google home voice control.   The DALI protocol is supported, with 
automatic addressing.   Use low cost wire in uncomplicated topology to implement remote management.   Power and DALI have in and 
out connectors to avoid wire nuts.
