Leviton Occupancy Sensor Light Switch - White

Lower electrical costs and add convenience to everyday living by replacing standard switches with occupancy sensors. Leviton's IPS06 Occupancy Sensor Switch automatically turns the lights ON when you enter a room and OFF when you leave, convenient in rooms where you frequently enter and exit with your hands full. Ideal for use in laundry rooms, basements, storage areas, pantries and garages. Leviton occupancy sensors are a simple, cost effective way to automate a space in your home. Designed to fit in a standard wallbox, the device offers 180 degree Field of View and 900 sq. ft. of coverage.

Features and Benefits

• A simple and effective way to save energy and the associated electric costs. Actual savings from sensors vary greatly depending on usage patterns and occupant habits, but used diligently the energy savings and reduced frequency of bulb replacement over time can provide significant cost savings.
• Time delay settings of 30 seconds, 5 minutes, 15 minutes or 30 minutes for automatic OFF.
• Contains a built-in override function, so the device can be activated to operate as a vacancy sensor meaning lights must be manually switched ON but will automatically turn OFF when the room is vacated.
• Does not require a neutral wire for installation making them perfect for retrofit applications where it may not be present. A ground wire is required for operation.
• Uses "passive infrared technology" which responds to the infrared heat people naturally emit to monitor a specific area. When this "heat" is sensed, the lights will stay ON in the room. When you leave the room and this “heat” is no longer sensed the lights will automatically turn OFF.

• Requires a clear view of the room or space for accurate detection—any furniture or obstructions that block the sensor’s view will prevent occupant’s movement from being detected
• For optimal performance, locate with a clear line-of-view of the area to be covered; perpendicular to the likely movement
• Most effective in small, enclosed areas with high levels of occupant motion
• Size and shape of area needing coverage must be in line with the range of the occupancy sensor
• The more activity there is in a space, the more sensors will contribute to energy savings and convenience
• Avoid installing in locations where nearby airflow may falsely register as motion; be mindful of the location of heating units, air conditioners, dryers and other large appliances that generate rapid changes in temperature or movement
• Compatible with Decora screwless snap-on wallplates (sold separately).
