• 

Large motion (e.g. walking) detection in a 360º coverage pattern around sensor

• 

Provides 24 ft (7.32 m) radial coverage when mounted to standard 9 ft (2.74 m) ceiling

• 

7 to 15 ft (2.13 to 4.57 m) mounting heights provide 16 to 36 ft (4.88 to 10.97 m) radial coverage

• 

Passive Dual Technology (also called Microphonics™) provides overlapping detection of sounds from human activity 

over the complete PIR coverage area. Advanced filtering is utilized to prevent non-occupant noises from keeping the 

lights on.

LARGE MOTION 360º 

(model #s: CM 10 WR / CM PDT 10 WR)

Note:  Sensor’s screw axis 

is offset 7.5º from a long

• 

Small motion (e.g. hand movements) and large motion detection in a 360º coverage pattern around sensor

• 

Provides 12 ft (3.66 m) radial coverage when mounted to standard 9 ft (2.74 m) ceiling

• 

8 to 15 ft (2.44 to 4.57 m) mounting heights provide 10 to 20 ft (3.05 to 6.10 m) radial coverage

• 

Passive Dual Technology (also called Microphonics™) provides overlapping detection of sounds from human activity 

over the complete PIR coverage area. Advanced filtering is utilized to prevent non-occupant noises from keeping the

Note: 

Avoid locating a Dual Tech sensor in close proximity to the switch, as the sound of the relay could trigger the sensor back on.  If the load always cycles immediately back on after 

turning off, the problem can be remedied by: 1) moving the sensor further from the 

SPODMR WR

, or 2) setting the Occupancy Time Delay to value 14, which will disable the microphone.
