MANUAL ON/AUTO OFF: The ODS10-TD Vacancy Sensor has a push button switch that 

will toggle the lights ON and OFF 

(refer to figure below). The lights will only turn ON 

when the button is pressed and remain ON in the presence of motion. In the absence of 

motion, the sensor will time-out and turn the lights OFF.
VACANCY CONFIRMATION: The ODS10-TD Vacancy Sensor has a 30 second grace 

period when the lights turn OFF. If motion is detected during this 30 second time frame the 

lights will automatically turn back ON.

FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to 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 of the device.
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 or more of the 
following measures:
• 

Reorient or relocate the receiving Antenna.

• 

Increase the separation between the equipment and the 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 Leviton Manufacturing Co., 
Inc., could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

 TROUBLESHOOTING

1.   If there is no response from the unit (the light never turns ON and the LED never 

blinks) 1 1/2 minutes after power is applied, then uninstall device and verify there is 

a ground connection at the wallbox. If there is a ground connection, verify wiring.

2.   If the lights are nuisance tripping ON from hallway or other unwanted locations: 

Determine if the blinders can be used to block the unwanted motion, or try lowering 

the PIR Range Control. Rotate the knob counterclockwise and repeat as needed.

3.   If the lights constantly stay ON, even when the room is unoccupied:
 

A.   Check the Time setting. See how this time compares to how long the lights stay 

ON.

 

B.   Try lowering the Range Control. Rotate the knob CCW about 30˚.

 

D.   Be sure to use the Blinders to block any unwanted hallway traffic.

 

E.   Check for reflected, radiated heat/motion such as incandescent bulbs, mirrors, 

HVAC, swinging fixtures, moving mechanical parts, flowing hot water within view, 

overhead doors opening closing, etc.

 

F.   Check for adjacent HVAC and/or heater ducts.

4.  If the sensor is turning lights OFF (False OFF)
 A. Check time delay and extend to 20 or 30 minutes.
 B. Check range sensitivity of PIR and increase.
5.   Be sure to note Minor and Major Motion FOVs. Designs should be to Minor Motion 

FOV for best functioning devices.

6.   Be sure to check the location of the sensors and anything that could be affecting 

them.

7.  For additional information call Leviton’s Technical Support Line.

BLINDERS: The blinders can narrow the field-of-view of the device to prevent unwanted 

activation from traffic in adjacent space. There are two blinders, and each operate 

independently. To operate the blinders, use a small screwdriver to move the blinder 

adjustment levers toward or away from the center of the device.
The blinder levers are found above the control knobs and below the text ‘BLINDERS’ on 

the control panel. With both levers moved fully towards the center, the field-of-view is 

narrowed to 60°. With both levers moved fully away from the center, the field-of-view is at 

a maximum 180° 

(refer to Control Panel Diagram).

TIME-DELAY: Cat. No. ODS10-TD will turn lights ON only when manually turned ON by 

the user. When motion is no longer detected, the Sensor Unit will wait a certain amount of 

time and then turn the lights OFF. This wait time is called "time-out".
The "time-out" is selected from four (4) preset values. Pointing the arrow at one of the 

markings on the face chooses the value of time. The following selections are available:

The "time-out" is factory preset to ten (10) minutes. Refer to Control Panel Diagram.
NOTE:
 All time durations mentioned in the instructions are approximate within 10 

seconds.
VACANCY CONFIRMATION: The ODS10-TD Vacancy Sensor has a 30 second grace 

period when the lights turn OFF. If motion is detected during this 30 second time frame the 

lights will automatically turn back ON. This grace period exists in case a False-OFF occurs 

where the lights go off in a room while the room is still occupied.

 FEATURES

MANUAL ON MODE: This Vacancy Sensor only operates in Manual ON mode.
RANGE: To decrease detection range and sensitivity, rotate the knob CCW (refer to 

Control Panel Diagram). The detection range can be adjusted from 100% down to 36%.

NOTE: Dress wires with a bend to relieve stress when mounting device.
•  Position all wires to provide room in outlet wall box for device.
•  Partially secure device using long mounting screws provided.
•  Restore power at circuit breaker or fuse.
 

 NOTE: Allow approximately 1 minute for charge-up. After charge-up the lights will 

turn ON. If the lights turn ON and the LED blinks when a hand is moved in front of 

the lens, then the sensor was installed properly. If the operation is different, refer to 

the 

TROUBLESHOOTING section. 

 

  NOTE: To avoid PERMANENT DAMAGE to the unit, be careful NOT TO 

OVERTURN the control knobs or levers when setting the Sensor. The controls can 

be accessed by removing the wallplate (if applicable) and control panel cover 

(refer 

to Control Panel Diagram). Use a small straight blade screwdriver to adjust knobs 

and and a finger to adjust the blinder levers.

   NOTE: DO NOT press in on blinder levers or use excessive force (refer to Control 

Panel Diagram).

•   Attach the Control Panel cover when the desired settings are complete.

Testing your Sensor prior to completely mounting in wall 

box:

 Step 6

Device Mounting:

TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE.

 

Step 7

Restore Power:

Restore power at circuit breaker or fuse.

 Installation is complete.

Leave the room and the lights will turn OFF after the selected time-out 

expires.

 

Step 8

Installation may now be 

completed by tightening 

mounting screws into wall box. 

Attach wallplate.
