Product Review

The Leviton ODS15 Decora Passive Infrared Wall Switch Occupancy Sensor provides automatic lighting control, and is useful for a variety of commercial and residential settings. This switch utilizes two passive infrared (PIR) sensors and is compatible with both electronic and magnetic ballasts. Two operating modes respond either to all motion or to changes in ambient light. A pre-shutoff warning, manual override, walk-through feature, and an adjustable field-of-view provide multiple options to satisfy your real-world lighting conditions.

Adjustable Lighting for Multiple Settings
When this switch is installed, lights will turn on as motion is detected, providing a safe environment for personnel who might otherwise walk into a darkened room. Change the settings and the switch relies on ambient light before switching on. A manual override makes it possible to toggle the lights on or off like a regular switch, or set a manual on/auto off to satisfy certain building codes.

The ODS15 has adjustable blinders so you can get only the PIR sensitivity you need. You can save additional energy by changing the delayed-off from 30 minutes to 30 seconds with the time delay adjustment. For supreme user convenience, this switch requires a single screwdriver for easy installation.

No More Blackouts and No Unnecessary Lighting
Factory set for a 10-minute delayed-off time, the switch self-adjusts up to 30 minutes to compensate for real-time occupancy patterns. It beeps three times as a warning shortly before shutting off the lights, giving you a chance to reactivate the sensor. The unit also offers a walk-through feature that shuts lights off after momentary occupancy, providing increased energy savings.

Durable and Versatile Design
The ODS15 is compatible with both electronic and magnetic ballasts. The sensor switches on or off at the zero crossing point of the AC power curve for contact durability and compatibility with electronic ballasts. Useful with 120- to 227-volt lighting, the circuitry in this switch is specifically designed to handle today's high inrush of electronic ballast loads. For retrofitting into older wiring systems, neutral-free wiring is an option.

This product comes with a manufacturer's limited five-year warranty.
