Sensor Operation

Occupancy Version – 

The Sensor will automatically turn the lights on when the space is 

occupied and automatically turn the lights off after the space is vacated.

Vacancy-Only Version – 

The lights must be manually turned on* at the dimming or 

switching device. The Sensor will automatically turn the lights off after the space is vacated.

* There is a built-in 15-second vacancy grace period that begins when the lights are automatically turned 

off, during which the lights will automatically turn back on in response to motion. This grace period is 

provided as a safety and convenience feature in the event that the lights turn off while the room is still 

occupied, so that the user does not need to manually turn the lights back on. After 15 seconds, the grace 
period expires and the lights must be manually turned on.

NOTE:

 For either Sensor version, the lights can also be manually turned off at any time by 

using the dimming or switching device directly.

Important Notes 

1.

   This Sensor is part of a system and cannot be used to control a load without a 

compatible dimming or switching device. Refer to the instruction sheets of any used 

receiving devices for installation information.

2.

 

Clean Sensor with a soft damp cloth only.

 

DO NOT

 use any chemical cleaners.

3.

   The Sensor is intended for indoor use only. Operate between 32 °F and 104 °F  

(0 °C and 40 °C).

4.

 

DO NOT

 paint Sensor.

5.

   The Sensor’s ability to detect motion requires line-of-sight of room occupants. The 

Sensor must have an unobstructed view of the room. 

DO NOT

 mount behind or near 

tall cabinets, shelves, hanging fixtures, ceiling fans, etc. The Sensor cannot see through 

glass objects such as patio or shower doors.

6.

   Hot objects and moving air currents can affect the Sensor’s performance. To ensure 

proper operation, the Sensor should be mounted at least 4 feet (1.2 m) away from light 

bulbs below the ceiling line and HVAC vents.

7.

   

The Sensor’s performance depends on a temperature differential between the ambient 

room temperature and that of room occupants. Warmer rooms may reduce the 

Sensor’s ability to detect occupants.

8.   

Use only high-quality lithium batteries, two (2) size CR123, 3 V 

 (ANSI-5018LC,  

IEC-CR17345). 

DO NOT

 use rechargeable batteries. Using improperly rated batteries 

could damage the Sensor. 

 

CAUTION:

 

DO NOT

 disassemble, crush, puncture, or incinerate the batteries. 

DO NOT

 dispose of batteries in normal household waste. Please recycle, 

take to a proper battery disposal facility, or contact your local waste disposal 

provider regarding local restrictions on the disposal or recycling of batteries. 

9.

   The range and performance of the RF system is highly dependent on a variety of 

complex factors such as:

 

·

  Distance between system components

 

·

  Geometry of the building structure

 

·

  Construction of walls separating system components

 

·

  Electrical equipment located near system components

CAUTION: 

This product must not be used to control equipment which could

Product Description

Lutron’s Occupancy and Vacancy Sensors are wireless, ceiling-mounted, battery-powered, 

passive infrared (PIR) devices that automatically control lights via RF communication with a 

dimming or switching device. These Sensors detect the heat from people moving within an 

area to determine when the space is occupied. The Sensors then transmit the appropriate 

commands to the associated dimming or switching device to turn the lights on or off 

automatically, providing both convenience and exceptional energy savings.

Sensor Placement and Coverage

Before mounting the Sensor, please note the following:

   

The Sensor is designed for ceiling use only. 

DO NOT

 install on ceilings higher than 

12 ft (3.7 m) or non-ceiling surfaces. Doing so may significantly inhibit the Sensor’s 

performance.

   

The Sensor should be installed in a location where it has a good view of all parts of 

the room. The Sensor requires line of sight to operate properly. 

If you cannot see 

the Sensor, it cannot see you. 

The Sensor cannot see through glass objects such 

as patio or shower doors.

   

 DO NOT

 mount the Sensor within 4 feet (1.2 m) of HVAC vents or light bulbs 

installed below the ceiling line.

   

The Sensor should be mounted within 30 feet (9.1m) of the associated dimming or 

switching device(s).

  

 Whenever possible, avoid placing the Sensor in a location where it has a broad view 

outside the intended space. If this is unavoidable, the lens can be masked to block 

the view of undesired areas (refer to section 

I. Lens Masking

). 

  

 The Sensor’s detection range is dependent on the ceiling height, as shown in the 

table below. 

Temporary Mounting Methods

If you are uncertain about correctly positioning the Sensor, the following temporary 
mounting and testing procedures are recommended to verify proper performance before 
permanently installing the Sensor.

Temporary Drop Ceiling Mounting  

Use this procedure if the Sensor will be mounted on a ceiling tile.

The ceiling tile mounting wire is provided for both temporary and permanent mounting of 
the Sensor to drop ceilings composed of multiple tiles.  It is designed to allow temporary 
mounting, testing, and repositioning (if necessary) of the Sensor without damaging a 
ceiling tile.  Once the Sensor’s final position has been chosen, the mounting wire can be 
twisted to lock the Sensor in place permanently.

Remove the mounting bracket from the base of the Sensor by twisting in a counter-

clockwise direction.
