1. Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of the Novitas 01-BAS300 Super Dual Tech Occupancy Sensor. This device is designed to provide automatic lighting control by detecting occupancy in a given area, contributing to energy efficiency.
2. Safety Information
WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock. Installation and servicing must be performed by qualified personnel only. Disconnect power at the circuit breaker or fuse before installing or servicing.
- Read all instructions carefully before installation.
- Ensure all wiring connections are secure and comply with local and national electrical codes.
- Do not install in locations where temperatures or humidity exceed specified limits.
- This device is intended for indoor use only.
3. Product Overview
The Novitas 01-BAS300 is a Super Dual Tech Occupancy Sensor, utilizing two detection technologies (typically Passive Infrared and Ultrasonic) to accurately sense human presence. This two-way sensor is designed for automatic lighting control, turning lights on when occupancy is detected and off after a period of no detection. It is suitable for both wall and ceiling mount applications.

4. Setup and Installation
The 01-BAS300 sensor can be mounted on a wall or ceiling. Proper placement is crucial for optimal performance.
4.1 Mounting Location Considerations
- Avoid mounting near heat sources (e.g., HVAC vents, incandescent lights) that could cause false triggers.
- Avoid mounting in direct sunlight or areas with significant air currents.
- Ensure a clear line of sight for the Passive Infrared (PIR) component and minimal obstructions for the Ultrasonic component.
4.2 Wiring Instructions
Note: All wiring must be performed with power disconnected at the circuit breaker. Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about any wiring procedures.
- Turn off power to the circuit at the main service panel.
- Connect the sensor's wires to the appropriate building wiring (Line, Load, Neutral, Ground) according to the wiring diagram provided with the product packaging.
- Secure all wire connections with approved wire connectors.
- Mount the sensor securely to the wall or ceiling using the provided hardware.
- Restore power and test the sensor's functionality.
5. Operating Instructions
The Novitas 01-BAS300 sensor provides automatic lighting control. Upon initial power-up, the sensor will typically enter a warm-up period (usually 30-60 seconds) during which it may cycle lights on and off. After the warm-up, the sensor will begin normal operation.
5.1 Automatic Operation
- When occupancy is detected, the connected lights will turn on.
- The lights will remain on as long as occupancy is continuously detected.
- After the detected area becomes vacant, the lights will remain on for a pre-set time delay before turning off automatically.
5.2 Adjustments (if applicable)
Depending on the specific model and configuration, the sensor may have adjustable settings for:
- Time Delay: The duration lights remain on after the last detected motion.
- Sensitivity: The level of motion required to trigger the sensor.
- Light Level Sensor (Photocell): To prevent lights from turning on if ambient light is sufficient.
Refer to the detailed instructions included in the product packaging for specific adjustment procedures for your 01-BAS300 model.
6. Maintenance
The Novitas 01-BAS300 sensor requires minimal maintenance to ensure continued optimal performance.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the sensor lens with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Annually inspect the sensor for any physical damage or loose connections.
7. Troubleshooting
If the sensor is not functioning as expected, refer to the following common issues and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on. | No power; faulty wiring; sensor malfunction; ambient light too high (if photocell enabled). | Check circuit breaker; verify wiring connections; test sensor; adjust photocell setting. |
| Lights remain on. | Continuous occupancy detected; time delay set too long; sensor malfunction. | Ensure area is vacant; adjust time delay; reposition sensor to avoid false triggers. |
| Lights turn on/off randomly. | False triggers from heat sources, air currents, or external motion; sensitivity too high. | Relocate sensor; reduce sensitivity; eliminate sources of false triggers. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact Novitas customer support or a qualified electrician.
