INTRODUCTION
Leviton Cat. No. ODS15-IDx, Designer Wall Switch Occupancy Sensor, is designed to detect motion from a heat-emitting source (such as a
person entering a room) within its field-of-view (monitored space) and automatically switch lights ON and OFF. The controlled lights will
remain ON until no motion is detected and the scheduled time-delay has expired. The Sensor adapts its time delay and ambient light
settings to the occupancy patterns of a room.
Cat. No. ODS15-IDx is UL listed, CSA certified and conforms to California Title 24 requirements.
DESCRIPTION
The Occupancy Sensor senses motion within its coverage area of 2400 sq. ft (223.3 m
2
) maximum and controls the connected lighting. This
is a self-contained device which provides sensing and light control. The Occupancy Sensor will turn the lights ON when motion is initially
detected, and keep the lights ON for as long as motion is detected.
The Occupancy Sensor uses a small semiconductor heat detector that resides behind a multi-zone optical lens. This
Fresnel lens
establishes dozens of zones of detection. The Sensor is sensitive to the heat emitted by the human body. In order to trigger the Sensor, the
source of heat must move from one zone of detection to another. The device is most effective in sensing motion across its field-of-view, and
less effective sensing motion towards or away from its field-of-view (refer to Figures 1 and 1A). Keep this in mind when selecting the
installation location (refer to Figures 1 and 1A).
Note that occupancy sensors respond to rapid changes in temperature, so care should be taken not to mount the device near a climate
control source (i.e. radiators, air exchanges, and air conditioners). Hot or cold drafts will look like body motion to the device and will trigger it
if the unit is mounted too close. It is recommended to mount the Occupancy Sensor at least 6 ft. away from the climate control
source. The device can be mounted in a single gang wall box.
In addition, it is also recommended NOT to mount the Occupancy Sensor directly under a large light source. Large wattage bulbs (greater
than 100W incandescent) give off a lot of heat and switching the bulb causes a temperature change that can be detected by the device.
Mount the Occupancy Sensor at least 6 ft. away from large bulbs. If it necessary to mount the device closer, lower the wattage of the bulb
directly overhead.

Time-Outs: The Sensor has three types of Time-Outs: Walk-through, Base Time, and Adapting.
•
Walk-through Time-Out: The value of this time-out is preset to 2.5 minutes. It is used by the Sensor as a starting point in adjusting the
other types of time-outs.
•
Base Time-Out: The value of this time-out is user selected through the use of the Time Control Setting.
•
Adapting Time-Out: When activated, the value of this time-out is changed by the Sensor based on room occupancy and lighting conditions.
Walk-Through: The walk-through feature is useful when a room is momentarily occupied. With this feature, the Sensor will turn the lights
OFF shortly after the person leaves the room.
The walk-through feature works in the following manner: When a person enters the room, the lights will turn ON. If the person leaves the
room before the default walk-through time-out of 2.5 minutes, the Sensor will turn the lights OFF. If the person stays in the room for longer
than 2.5 minutes, the Sensor will instead use the time-out per the Time Control Setting (refer to Time Control Setting in the following sections).
The walk-through feature may be user disabled (refer to Non-Adapting Mode in the following sections).
Audio Warning: The Sensor is equipped with a beeper to give the user feedback of unit operation. During normal operation, the Sensor will
issue three short beeps 20 seconds before the time-out is over to alert the user that the lights are going to turn OFF. The occupant must
move in order for the lights to remain ON. The Sensor issues two short beeps to let the occupant know that motion was detected and that the
lights will stay ON.
Adapting Time Delay: The Sensor has built in adapting intelligence that changes the adapting time-out duration in response to the
occupancy conditions of the room it is installed in.
If the Sensor detects “large” motions (as a person walking by), it will NOT change the time-out duration. If the Sensor detects “small”,
infrequent motion (as a person sitting down and writing), it will INCREASE the Adapting Time-Out duration. If the Sensor detects “small”,
frequent motion (as in several persons in a room during a meeting), it will DECREASE the Time-Out duration only if it was NEVER increased
(this is because the built-in intelligence will always proceed in the direction of “increasing” adapting time-out once it has increased it for any
of the occupancy conditions sensed).
If the room is occupied for longer than 2.5 minutes, the Sensor will enter the Occupied Mode with the Time-Out duration specified by the
Time Control Setting. This Time-Out is used as the starting point for adapting. After a few days, the Time-Out value will adapt to the “best”
value based on the occupancy conditions detected in the room.
If the Sensor detects motion immediately after the audio warning beep, it will determine that the existing Time-Out value is too short. The
Sensor will thus increase the Time-Out value by 1.5 times the existing value.
If the Sensor detects motion within 45 seconds after the lights turn OFF, it will turn the lights ON and increase the Time-Out value by 1.5
times the existing value.
The adapted Time-out may be reset to the base value by rotating the Time Control to a new time selection value (refer to Figure 2A).
Time Control Setting: The base Time-Out value is selected by rotating the
Time Control dial. There are four (4) values from which to choose. Each
mark around the dial corresponds to a different value as indicated below
(refer to Figure 2A). The Sensor will beep once to indicate that a new time
value has been selected.
NOTE: All time durations is approximate within
±
10 seconds.
Adapting Ambient Light Override: The Ambient Light Override is used to
keep the lights OFF if there is already enough natural light in the room. For proper operation, the Ambient Light Override adjustment must be
performed when there is enough natural light (refer to the Settings section). If the adjustment is made when there is less natural light, the
lights may not turn ON even though they are needed. This will require manual activation of the push-buttons to turn the lights ON.
If the Ambient Light Override Adjustment is not performed properly, the Adapting feature will adjust this setting. The Sensor will use the light
level prior to turning the lights ON as the new Ambient Light value and increase it slightly so that next time the same conditions are present,
it will turn the lights ON. This adapting feature may take a few cycles prior to adjusting to the proper light level.
If the Ambient Light Override is not performed, the adapting feature will not be utilized (refer to Ambient Light Dial in the following section).
NOTE: The ambient light level in the center of a room will be different then the level at the wall where the switch is located.
Ambient Light Dial: The ambient light setting is adjusted with the Ambient Light dial (refer to Figure 2A). Turning the Light Dial fully
counter-clockwise (CCW), sets the Sensor to manual ON mode (lights always turn ON) (see following section). All other settings will cause
the lights to turn ON only when the light level is less than the setting.
To prevent false low light levels from the user standing in front of the device during adjustment, the Sensor remembers the Ambient Light
level from 1 minute ago.
There are two ways the Adapted Ambient Light level can be reset to the level set by the dial: (1) By rotating the Light Dial, the adapted value
will be replaced by the new value corresponding to the new position of the dial. (2) By pressing and holding the button for 3 seconds; the
Sensor will beep once and reset the Adapted Light Level value to the dial setting.
NOTE: When the setting is at the minimum CCW level, the lights will stay OFF when the room is dim. When the setting is at the maximum
level clockwise (CW), the lights will turn ON when the room is bright.
Manual ON Mode: When the light control is in the fully CCW position the lights will never automatically turn ON. In this mode the lights need
to be manually turned ON by the push-button, and will turn OFF with the absence of motion. If the light control is in the fully CW position,
the lights will turn ON whenever motion is detected, even in full daylight. Intermediate settings will cause the lights to turn ON only when the
ambient light is below the level selected by the light control.
NOTE: The ambient light in a room will change with the time of day and the season of the year.
RANGE: To decrease detection range and sensitivity, rotate the knob CCW (refer to Figure 2A). The detection range can be adjusted from
100% down to 36%.
SETTINGS
NOTE: To avoid PERMANENT DAMAGE to the unit, be careful NOT TO OVERTURN or use excessive force when setting control knobs or
levers of Cat No. ODS15-IDx. Use a small straight blade screwdriver to adjust knobs and your finger to adjust the blinder levers.
1. Remove the control panel cover.
2. Remove the warning label that covers the adjustment dials.
3. Rotate the Time dial to select the desired base time-out value.
4. If the Sensor is installed within 6 feet of an air duct, rotate the Range Control 1/4 turn counter-clock-wise (CCW), otherwise, leave it at
maximum.
5. Set the Ambient Light Level - AMBIENT LIGHT: Cat. No. ODS15-IDx has an adjustment to determine at what minimum ambient light level
the unit will operate. The adjustment should be made when the ambient light is at the level where no artificial light is needed. Follow these steps to
make a more accurate adjustment of the light control.
