The VNW-P-1001-DMV Vacancy Sensing Wall Switch is a Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensing lighting control
and conventional wall switch all-in-one, used for energy savings and convenience.
PIR Technology
The sensor’s segmented lens divides the field of view into sensor zones, and detects the changes in temperature
that are created when a person, or part of a person as small as a hand, passes into or out of a sensor zone.
The VNW-P-1001-DMV allows the control of two separate loads with one occupancy sensor switch.
The lights are turned ON by pressing the universally recognized light icon pushbutton. In either mode, the
lights stay ON as long as the sensor detects motion in the room. When the room is vacated, the lights turn OFF
automatically after a preset Time Delay interval.
The sensor includes self-adaptive technology that continually adjusts to conditions by adjusting sensitivity and time
delay in real-time. By adjusting sensitivity and time delay automatically, the sensor is maximizing the potential energy
savings that are available in the particular application.
The EcoMeter provides a visual indicator of energy usage, increasing end user awareness and reminding
individuals to take control of their lighting to maximize energy savings.
The Daylighting feature prevents lights from turning ON, when the room is adequately illuminated by natural light.
Bathroom Mode – When selected, bathroom mode keeps the second relay ON for an additional 8 minutes, after
the first relay has been turned off. Combine this with changing the pushbutton to the light/fan graphic and you now
have the universally recognized and easy to use bathroom solution.
Relay Swap Option – A common problem in electric wiring is wiring the wrong switch to the wrong load. This can
make control of loads confusing to an end user. The Relay Swap option solves the problem by allowing the switch
buttons on the face of the unit to be swapped, after the unit is wired and installed.
The VNW-P-1001-DMV is designed for offices up to 300 square feet.
When installing the VNW-P-1001-DMV in a new junction box, choose the switch location carefully to provide optimum
coverage of the occupied area. When replacing an existing wall switch, bear in mind that there must be a clear line-of-
sight between the sensor and the area to be covered. Avoid pointing the VNW-P-1001-DMV directly into the hallway
where it may detect passers-by.
The VNW-P-1001-DMV can be installed in any standard single gang box. It
may be installed in the same manner as an ordinary wall switch.
• Wire the VNW-P-1001-DMV as described in the wiring section.
• Mount the VNW-P-1001-DMV in the junction box.
CAUTION: Before installing or performing any service on a Greengate system, the power MUST be turned
OFF at the branch circuit breaker. According to NEC 240-83(d), if the branch circuit breaker is used as the
main switch for a fluorescent lighting circuit, the circuit breaker should be marked “SWD.” All installations
should be in compliance with the National Electric Code and all state and local codes.
NOTE REGARDING COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS: The life of some compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) is
shortened by frequent automatic or manual switching. Check with CFL and ballast manufacturer to determine the
effects of cycling.
1. Make sure power is turned OFF at the branch circuit breaker.
2. Wire units as shown in wiring diagrams per applicable voltage requirements.
3. Mount unit to wall box.
4. Turn power back ON at the branch circuit breaker and wait 2 minutes for the unit to stabilize.
5. Make necessary adjustments. (See Checkout and Adjustments section)
6. Install wall switch plate.
