  • Covers 1,200 sq ft with passive infrared sensing
  • Operates on 120 to 277V AC without a neutral wire
  • Switches up to 800W at 120V AC for fluorescent, incandescent, LED
  • Hard-wired communication for reliable occupancy control
  • Single-button white wall-mount design for simple installation

Wall-Mount Occupancy Sensor with Photocell

This hard-wired occupancy sensor uses passive infrared detection to control lighting automatically in commercial and residential spaces. It supports fluorescent, incandescent and LED loads at 120 to 277 volts AC without requiring a neutral wire. The unit mounts directly to a wall and covers up to 1,200 square feet of floor area.

Thermal and Power Characteristics

The contactor carries a load rating of 800 watts at 120 volts AC for fluorescent and incandescent circuits. Power consumption remains minimal because the device only energises its internal relay when the sensor detects occupancy. No active cooling or moving parts are present, so operation is silent and heat output is negligible in normal use.

Single-Circuit On/Off Control

This model provides simple line-voltage switching with no dimming capability and a single-button interface. It is not suited for installations that require multi-level dimming, daylight harvesting with continuous adjustment, or multi-zone control from one device. Buyers needing those functions should select a different controller.

Questions about this item

How is the LWS PDT WH occupancy sensor mounted and wired, and what step is often missed?

Mount the sensor on a standard wall box at the desired height, then connect line, load, and ground wires for 120 to 277 V AC operation; the step often missed is confirming the circuit voltage matches the 120 to 277 V range before powering up.

What maintenance will the sensor need over time?

The unit has no user-serviceable parts; periodic cleaning of the PIR lens with a soft dry cloth maintains detection across the 1,200 sq ft coverage area.

What is the first limit reached under continuous full-load operation?

The 800 W load rating at 120 V AC is the primary limit; exceeding it with fluorescent, incandescent, or LED lighting will cause the contactor to trip or overheat.
