PRUDENCE

OVERVIEW

The LMD-509 series member of the TRANS family is a line voltage 

occupancy sensor with 0-10V output for bi-level dimming control. 

This occupancy sensor employs an advanced High Frequency 

Doppler (HFD) sensing technology to provide superior sensing 

performance of minor motion, such as typing, writing, or reading. 

The HFD technology is operating with high frequency radio waves 

which are capable of detecting the occupant's presence and 

movements without requiring unobstructed line-of-sight like a PIR 

sensor. Thus, the HFD sensor can detect through non-metallic 

material, such as plastic, glass, plywood or plaster board.  
The Accu-Set digitalized potentiometers make the sensor setting 

easier, faster and more accurate than the conventional analog 

ones. Four levels of sensitivity and control modes can be selected 

via DIP switch setting. An exclusive Hybrid Switching technology 

makes the LMD-509 series perfect to control lighting with 

exceptionally high inrush current (HIC) during switching, such as 

multiple LED lightings connected in parallel. The sensor comes 

with an ambient light sensor (ALS) to inhibit switching on the light 

if the ambient light level is higher than the threshold set. Like all 

sensors in the TRANS family, the LMD-509 series is also available 

in various mounting options.

APPLICATION NOTES

DETECTION PATTERN

Avoid placing the sensor in an area surrounded with 

metallic wall which may block or absorb the radio 

wave. If possible, place the sensor to the opening 

as close as possible.    
Fluorescent light may cause interference to the HFD 

sensor operation, and result in lighting permanent 

on. If possible, avoid placing the HFD sensor within 

3 ft. of fluorescent light. 
Avoid sensor placement facing doors, corridors or 

exits as HFD sensor may detect the traffics at 

adjacent area. 
HFD sensors are best for use in areas with partitions 

and high dividers, or high level of minor motion 

activities. 
The HFD sensor is more sensitive to the movements 

“toward” than “across” the sensor, so ensure to 

place the sensor at the position “toward” the 

movements of occupant.

NOTE: 

1. The driver/ballast MUST be 0-10V dimmable to achieve 
    dimming control.
2. Ensure connection of LINE and NEUTRAL are not reversed 
    to avoid damaging the sensor. 
3. Ensure TOTAL isolation between DIM+/DIM- and GROUND 
    to avoid damaging the sensor.
4. Conduct test with GROUND connected.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This 

device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including 

interference that may cause undesired operation.

 

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 

15 of the FCC Rules.  These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in 

a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not 

installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.  

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.  If this equipment does 

cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off 

and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

Radiation Exposure Statement:

This equipment complies with ISED radiation 

exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled 

environment. This equipment should be installed and 

operated with minimum distance 20cm between the 

radiator & your body.

Déclaration d'exposition aux radiations:

Cet 

équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux 

rayonnements ISED établies pour un environnement 

non contrôlé. Cet équipement doit être installé et 

utilisé avec un minimum de 20 cm de distance entre la 

source de rayonnement et votre corps.

-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is 

connected.

-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for 

compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Radiation Exposure Statement: 

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth 

for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum 

distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
