In-Wall PIR Motion Sensor Switch
The Emerson TSOS5-W is a single-pole occupancy sensor that automatically controls lights, fans or small motors by detecting infrared heat from human movement. It requires a neutral wire and fits a standard wall box, making it suitable for residential rooms such as garages, closets or utility spaces where hands-free operation is wanted.
Sustained Operation Behaviour
The sensor covers up to 980 square feet with a 180-degree field of view and offers adjustable sensitivity from 30 to 100 percent. Time-delay settings of 10, 20 or 30 minutes keep the load on during continuous occupancy, while a 15-second test mode helps verify coverage during installation. Auto, always-on and always-off modes are selectable at the switch.
Upgrade Context
This unit replaces a standard single-pole toggle where automatic on/off control is desired and a neutral conductor is present. It is not suitable for three-way or multi-location circuits, nor for loads exceeding 500 watts incandescent, 150 watts LED or CFL, 500 VA fluorescent or 1/8 HP motor. A wall plate is sold separately.

Questions about this item
How much power does the Emerson TSOS5-W draw while it is running all day?
The switch itself consumes very little power; it is rated for a maximum connected load of 150 W for CFL or LED lighting, 500 W for incandescent or halogen, 500 VA for fluorescent, or 1/8 HP for motors at 120 VAC.
What wiring must already be present in the wall box for the TSOS5-W to operate?
A neutral wire is required in addition to hot, ground and load conductors; the device is single-pole only and will not work in a three-way or multi-way circuit.
Will the TSOS5-W control an older fluorescent ballast that I want to keep?
Yes, it supports fluorescent loads up to 500 VA, so a compatible legacy ballast can be switched as long as the total load stays within that rating.
